Ok, now that Kenny has officialy, and publicly given me the go to help run the forum while he is gone, There are going to be a few changes. Change#1: There will only be about 6 staff members total, not including regular mods. 2 admins (not including Kenny) 2-3 G-mods Only the best of the best will be appointed as upper staff. And there will be several mods to manage certain boards. Change#2 The Original Red and Blue staff member names are going to return, as well as changes to color scheming and graphics to the forum (no worries...we will still have the same layout as we have now, just different pics and such) Change#3 The Admin and Recycle bin will be visible to all MEMBERS of the forum, but only the STAFF can post in them. This will help out greatly, in my opinion, by not seperating the staff from the regular members as much, but still allow the staff to post ideas and suggestions and discuss amongst ourselvse in peace. Change#4 The staff are going to stick to the banning policy much more stricly, if you break the rules once, Verbal Warning, twice, Banning for a week, three times, Permanent ban or Deletion Change#5 The Forum is a bit unorganized, some boards are in the wrong categories, and others aren't even needed, so..Boards are going to be rearranged, moved and/or deleted. There will other changes to come, all for the good of the forum, of course.

I feel it would have been better to consult all members on such changes before they occured but, technically, you're the boss.

Best out of the best eh? Well, I'm gunna get cut loose... But, if you're going to help him in running this place, doesn't that mean that you are one of the owners as well? Or are you just counted as an admin?

no.. he isnt in charge.. he has been appointed OT's lackey.. j/t but i think it should be made sure that ALL the members(i understand that ALL of them aren't here.. but you get my point) are ok with some of these changes.. personally.. Staff is fine.. and if staff gets cut down.. some people are gonna be upset.. for instence if Snake gets cut.. I'm gonna be hella pissed... every staff member we have does their job.. so i don't see any problem there.. as for misplaced boards.. i haven't noticed any.. i also haven't looked. red and blue is cool with me.. ;D ;D the recycle bin part.. yea all the admins and g-mods have already discussed that one.. we should have done it from the begining honestly.. and yes.. bannings need to be done sometimes.. else we end up with pissed off members with their panties in a wad that only cause more havoc.. jeebus i don't miss that girl one bit..

ok, i agree with some of these changes. i have mixed feelings about the staff # situation so i have no comment on that. the origional staff colors is a great idea imo, the green and blue just doesn't fit this place. about the admin/recycle bin change, it would be good to view the recycle bin, but the admin board should be private in case they want to plan a surprise for the forum or something, but they can also do that with PMs. i think a stricter forum is needed. we're too nice here lol. i remember back in the day when this place would have a bunch of people on the bannings list all the time. one board i've noticed that's been out of place for a while is the anime news board (which should be moved into the anime section).
and there is one thing i'd like to add if it looks good as a test and members like it. a lot of people don't like the fact that the PM is on the bottom of the forum as well as myself (i always forget about it being there and never check my messages) so i was thinkin if this can't be fixed the way it was, there is a code i have that can make it on the top of the forum and it looks pretty tight. i already asked o.t about it but he never replied cuz he's a busy man. so i was thinkin another admin can put it up to see what other members think. but if none of the admins know how to do it, i can be made into an admin for about 5 minutes (cuz that's all it really takes) and put it up myself. and once again if the members don't like it, i can remove it. it's not really that hard to do but it looks really intimidating cuz it looks soo long. i would really like to try this out to see what the members think so if any of the admins wants to help, please do.

Hmmm...ok. I agree with most of the changes. The staff we have right now is great except for one or two members. I also want to know what boards are going to be deleted before it's done.
And my biggest worry, is the thing you say about the rules. I mean, I would get ultra pissed off if I would get banned for something stupid like posting off-topic twice. I don't think we want this place feeling like school-detention, it's a place to have fun...banning someone shouldn't be based on how many times they break the rules but on the gravity of the things they do.
And one last thing, I'm still waiting for someone to take away my Sports mod position...I don't deserve it.

Hmm, I'm opposed to the admin section being open to everyone. That is a place for gmods and admins to go and talk about private discussions that many of the board members shouldn't know. In some instances we might need to talk about members. I just don't think the admin board should be open to all members.

^i think that he meant the recyle bin only.. but also.. what Fox said really goes for that part too.. now that i think back.. thats why i never put that idea out there.. and a good deal of the locked threads do bring up discussions about specific members... soooo.. i dunno.. thats a tough decision

yea i think just the recycle bin should be open for members to view. and the admin board should be for the staff's eyes only imo. there is too much there that shouldn't be shown to everyone.
