[quote:post_uid0="princevegetam"]quass/zing79: i have no idea why tmyapp keeps these two mdos around, they do not do anything and i don't believe they should continue to be mods. they are too busy with vgmfusion and do not have the time for this forum.[/quote]
For once I agree with princevegetam. Quass and Zing are too busy with VGM, and have not been here in a LONG TIME. If I were TMy, I would replace them with two other responsible individuals for the position of Forum Moderator

I don't know how this thread got off topic... but it is NOT a thread to promote TMyApp getting more mods. If anyone even cared to read the title, and possibly the actual message that followed after it, it says NOTHING discussing hiring new mods. In fact, it's just this kind of behavior it's preaching against.

This whole concept of "please TMy, add more mods", or even "please, give me mod powers. I'll do a good job", has been tried and refuted time and again (for dam good reasons too). TMyApp has made it plenty clear in the past and future... that he doesn't just hand out modships at anyone who looks like they might be good at it.

If you want to debate about this modship thing... here's a VERY lenghty topic with many good arguments/refrences on each side....

There may have been another one going about the same time.. but I'm too lazy/impatient too look it up...

..anyways, put your posts about this sort of subject in your own topics (which won't last long @ all since TMyApp, leftyfb, and myself to some degree... are here at most the time).
Did you guys not read that, or did you choose to ignore it? Either way, adding more mods to the forum will not help much at all. It just gives us more mods.

read my entire post first. 2000warrior's post was not direct at me or my intended idea. my intended idea is much different than what he is addressing in his previous post.

[quote:post_uid0="princevegetam"]so basically what i mean in the end once again is:

we need more active mods, we should get rid of the mods that aren't active enough *cough*Quass/zing79*cough*[/quote]
Ou, wow. I see something I was refering too.

11-04-2002 10:57 PM

Roll: Lol... maybe one day they'll start listening to me...

princevegetam: Well, actually I was directing my posts to comments that are EXACTLY like that one. Your whole idea is to get rid of the guys you don't see posting on the forum much. Why? Because you really don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

Let me enlighten you on the subject...

- A little while ago, Quass and Zing79 were planning to host the "other, better" downloadable version at vgmfusion. I have not been aware of the cancellation of this, so I assume they're still planning to do it (eventually).

- Lordcyris has a family, a job, and he's busy as hell. He drops in every now and then and does what he can, but he DOES try to help the community to the best of limited time. (Remember SOF, or even that msg at the bottom of TIB?)

- Warmor... I don't know what's going on with him. Supposedly he's "working" on his comics... either that or he's just a lazy bastard :biggrin:

- 2000warrior: Still waiting to regain ftp acess to Senshuk so he can review the SET, get to work on "updating" the present tournaments section, releasing that "new" feature in Senshuk whenever the next DWX Chronicle is release (or something along those lines), as well as make an Onslaught bio (one day)... and still comes by the forum on a semi-frequent basis.

TMyApp/leftyfb: You KNOW what they're doing.

What I'm trying to say here is... ALL the mods do something outside of the game that "helps out" with the community besides just moderating the forum.

<hr color="red" width="95%" align="center">

Everyone else on this whole subject of mods:

Why is it such a difficult concept to grasp that the answer to the forum problem is NOT more mods. I know a lot say "we just need more active mods," but bare with me and look at the past mods for a moment...

- ewalk: First mod, he got it when he was hosting RDB (Ryu's Drunken Brawl), back in late Aug-early Oct. He was easily one of the most active and mature members of the forum. But then guess what happened? He got bored with moderating... and it became more work then fun. So he just quit comming.

- Lordcyris: Got it right after he won Necro2k1's tournament. Another very active member of the forum, and easily respected by all the members. But (I believe) his computer broke, and even after he got it fixed, he was rarely seen on the forum (except for the occasional weeks where mods/vets "try" to make returns). It happens to everyone... you get tired of the "n00bism" and it becomes more work then anything.

- Zing79: He got his early December, after hosting the acclaimed TOC I, with the promise of TOC II, and probabaly had told TMyApp about it by then. And for a month or so... it worked great. He was ever the active mod, and cleaned up the forum. And then he must have gotten tired of the n00bism as all mods do... and just decided to "move on" to vgmfusion.

- Quass: Not sure exactly when Quass became a mod... I think it was April-May. But anyways, he was well on his way to vgmfusion at the time, and only "actively" moderated for about a week after that.

- Warmor: I think Warmor became a mod in June... right around Project Z. But what happened to him? Not really sure, but notice that his activity dropped shortly after he became a mod?

- 2000warrior: I know when this guy became a mod... :biggrin: Some time in August-September. And, he'd been an active poster for months... and was becoming fairly respected at it too. But being a mod took its toll on even him, and like all his predecessors, began having a "more busy" schedule, and just not wanting to deal with the n00bism of the forum after only about a month.

I know some of you will still think "oh, that'll never happen to me", but it will. I never thought I'd get bored of this forum... but you know what? It happens to everybody.

The answer to this is NOT just replacing old mods with new, "fresh" mods, it's getting these old guys off their lazy asses and back onto the forum.

And I would urge furthur discussion on this to be made in a SEPERATE topic. I don't want to start deleting your replys but it could happen if everyone keeps jumping on TMy and lefty's backs about this.

Nantuko Joe 11-05-2002 05:20 AM

Bah. That still doesn't change the fact that Quass and Zing are unable to moderate at this forum anymore, and need two ppl to replace them.

princevegetam 11-05-2002 12:50 PM

if the mods are all working on something regarding the community, that still doesn't give them the okay to let this forum rot to death! this forum would be a lot better and some mods would be a lot less stressed if the moderating work was more balanced.


and don't attempt to enlighten ME with those facts, i've already known about all of them. but none of those facts can be used as an excuse for leaving this forum to rot and die. what would this game be if the forum was dying?

QUIET_KILLER 11-05-2002 01:27 PM

[color=blue:post_uid3]Alright I thought this topic.
Was made by leftyfb for a reason.
To let people know that he has gotten tired.
Of all the same remade topic's.
The double triple posting and spamige.
That was going on.
The flaming,the name calling.
So how I wonder did this.
Go into a topic about Mod's.
As well like 2000warrior said
"If you would urge furthur discussion on this to be made in a SEPERATE topic"
Did you read that Joe and Vegetam :biggrin:[/color:post_uid3]

akuma_forever 11-05-2002 01:38 PM

spam,what a dumb thing......

mastaq 11-05-2002 01:48 PM

The reason Zing/Quass are still mods is maybe oh I don't know... Maybe they give TMy space for the game... :plain:
