Ex-staff, curious Options

[*Insurmountable*]

^I PMed him about that actually, but he hadn't had class with her yet.

XD

[Tung]

So, did you ever confront her yet? I remember you said you were planning on it.

I dont talk about cB in my real life T_T. Lol its SOOO awkward.

[*Steven*]

"So uh earlier today I was on this forum and I was talking to a bunch of 14 and 15 year olds about bananas...

[*Insurmountable*]

Lol, well then don't give our hopes up next time!

[*Michelle*]

yeah, I know what you mean. I only talk about it with Steven, and we rarely talk about it in person unless there's some big drama going on. hehe

[*Insurmountable*]

lol I talk about it with Josh if I had no life that day and camped out on createblog all day. XD

[Tung]

^I PMed him about that actually, but he hadn't had class with her yet.

XD

i actually considered joining people staff way back when i joined as "suddenly she". staff was pretty friendly - remember brie and nicole? and kristen.. or i think her name was kristen, her username was ilovesimba or something.

i think i decided not to join after i saw how cliquey some people were, and i just didn't want to accidentally become a part of it.

aand this is probably the wrong place for it, but as far as i know, holly and mike are doing excellent jobs as mods. you guys are great :)

i miss all the ex-staffferss. i would love to see cb in the hands of you guys - spencer, steven, michelle, (who am i missing?) as admins. elba and a couple others too, including josh (uronacid josh, since i'm not sure if there's another josh floating around), and holly of course!

not that i have an issue with steph and mona or anyone, i'm just curious as to how that would work out.

[*Insurmountable*]

hey hey, why not me as admin XD or at least head staff. I don't want to be design staff forever. XD


But thanks


Hmm cliquey...how exactly? Elaborate? Just amongst the members or staff members too?

That would be fantastic. Five of my favoritest (I know that isn't a word, STFU) people on cB.

haha, i did include you! i don't understand what's been going around with people saying you have an "attitude problem," because i've never seen anything offensive/uncalled for from you. it was surprising to hear that.

anyway, when i think cliquey back when i first joined, i immediately think james/sammi/nicki/someone else? there was some crazy fantastic five or something. they were some of the most noticeable members when i joined and it kind of seemed like a lot of new people just got completely ignored. i had massive issues trying to get to know people, haha. i remember steph being really friendly too, along with the other old staffers i mentioned earlier :) and melissa was somewhere in the friendly range...

hi kara!

[*alovesopure*]

Hi Ruth! [/spam]

[*Insurmountable*]

Oh yea, I understand what you mean
Yea I always got that vibe that everyone was great friends with some people but I don't know after a while I don't know I got noticed o_O but somehow or another I did.

[Just_Dream]

lol I don't think anyone even remembers me being part of the staff -- I was gone for a while.

The Reason that I left staff was that I was inactive for a while. School and work was taking up too much of my time, but I was pretty active during one last hiring session when I was an administrator. Then I disappeared and got booted to Mentor and then booted to Official Member. That didn't bother me so much, as I didn't have much to contribute anymore. I was an administrator for quite some time, actually. It might've been around 2005 to 2006-ish, but still it was fun. I'd have to say that there wasn't so much drama back then as there is now (what with so many people leaving staff at the same time), but I've had my fair share. There were some sahdy things happening, but I still remember. Strings were pulled, and even to this day, there are lies behind some words. But I won't get into that since some people get pretty defensive.

Expectations - Yea, activity was important. I did post a lot and I used to be really close with the community -- not that anyone remembers though. But hey, if any of you still have xmas cards from 2005 from me, haha you all are cool. <3 Being an admin let me see who was active and who wasn't, and I was glad to know that when I was active, I did a lot of moderating. Not so much was expected of me, but I did what I thought was best for the community. It's funny because even though I was an admin, my voice wasn't as strong as others (people staff, design, etc.). I felt that by being admin, I only had to regulate the forums, upload skins, help people, etc. I had to be impartial to a lot of things because I never wanted to seem power hungry.

Trish - Actually, Headstaff has been around since forever. Seon Ho and Gina were originally head staff, but I joined the staff before you, so maybe you missed it. Lookitskim was promoted to head Staff after Gina left, then Seon Ho I think he got demoted or requested to be demoted? I forget. Anyways, I was nominated shortly after when LookitsKim Kim became admin, And Roxanne was Head Staff along with me. I think Kathleen might've been Head Staff too -- my memory is a slipping.
It's because member want representation that the nomination and voting process happened. And the whole James thing as well.

Nicki - You probably shouldn't bring up the James thing anymore. I know way too much for my own good

Gigi - I really appreciated you on staff. You did do a lot, but you weren't on staff for that long. :/

Tung - I don't know Anna in real life, as I have never met her in real life, but I never had crazy beef with her, like others did. She was nice to me, although she does have her moments. But yea besides all the scandals, when I chatted with her on the phone, it was fun.

Yanlin - I left before you came on, I think. And even then, I was inactive, so I didn't really see much of anyone, anyway. :/

Holly - There were times where conflicting attitudes did go pretty extreme. Like I said, I know too much for my own good, and being impartial, people felt the need to tell me things to join their side of the cause. I always had to be careful with my words, as it could easily be turned around. Power trips did happen, but nothing major ever happened. The funny thing is that, I was pretty close with Kim (lookitskim) and Jusun when these things happened. It wasn't necessarily about new decision coming up -- we usually just had some poll/voting in the back. And even then, it was okay because I think there was a sense of trust that we all had. That, OR it was where no one really cared about the decisions because voluntarily joining cB staff was something we did for fun and it felt cool to have duties, I guess. It wasn't such a big deal. Things were slightly more lenient back then, but there were different people in the past.


Ouch, long post. I beat you, Gigi! <3

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Christina- if I was going to post at all, it was kind of unavoidable, no? It doesn't really matter anymore either. Strictly speaking, I'm not sure what you're implying, but meh, whatever. As our current favor clique likes to point out every opportunity they get, I'm irrelevant now.

And Gigi, that's quite alright, haha. We exchanged apologies a while ago Also, I don't know how they can think you aren't pretty

[*Insurmountable*]

Awe I love your post, I don't know your name (Just_Dream)

That's exactly why I like being on staff, I think its cool having little duties XD And I think its great having a close little family and we can trust each other and I mean I would love for that to happen again. Maybe it will once we really start working on the staff relationships and take the community word through this thread and outside of it of course and improve. I don't things should be so uptight and people liked coming around here back then because it was laid back and lenient and fun to just come on. But you know I don't think James and Anna are bad people at all, I'm sure their great people in real life and if I had the chance to get to know them and get on good terms with them. They have defiantly opened my eyes at how to handle things better when it comes to conflicting attitudes


So your name is Christina?

[misoshiru]

Maybe you were admin when I was on staff? Or maybe not. Yeah, you weren't around then D:

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

I think she was at least part of the time. Or actually, were we ever mods at the same time, Yanlin?

[Tung]

Waiting for poke back on facebook.

I'm not sure. Were you a mod early 06?

Thanks. :] Yep, I'm Christina. Anyways, well trust wasn't always there *cough* But well, we had our moments. They were good moments. There were times where it got clique-y backstage, but even then, it wasn't such a big deal. People wanted to be demodded, others disliked each other, etc. But I think we all had some middle ground that we agreed on... Most of the time...

Plus, I don't think it's that administrators are supposed to make all the decisions. It wasn't like that in the past (but I'm not saying that it's like that now. I'm not really sure what it is now). Rather, it was more that I (or we, whatever lol) had more responsibilities on our shoulders... Does that make any sense? :]

EDIT - Tung. You talking to me? NANI?

[misoshiru]

^ I remember that the admins used to only deal with the "big stuff". doesn't seem like it anymore.

Nope, we were asked for our opinions and then waited for an outcome. Either that, or it was a "We'll PM Jusun. I hope you remember this in 4 months" type of deal.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Haha, I actually have no idea. Probably?
