Kasumi: The active mod argument doesn't really apply to all situations. For example, Emuz is the owner of the Akron server. However, his job does not require interaction with board members, therefore he doesn't need to be active. A local mod, however, may need to be more active, since they would need to know what is going on in their domain that they preside over.

Still, I think Tom, ||bass, and Blades (who does post) would become a bit more active if they became admins again.

I'm always here.

You're just not reading the good forums.

I knew I wouldn't have your support. In fact, I counted on it. I have seen the way you and Kitten Yiffer kiss my ass upfront, but talk about me behind my back.

Although I tend to agree, I think it's a bad thing to say about them. Hopefully they'll stay whatever happens, but they'd already earned the right to the big yellow name and they'll be top of the list when the time comes to sort the staff out.

Also, phrased this way, it's like "I want them to be active so admin them otherwise they won't post". I don't know if this is true or not, but I don't think their interest level should be related to their power level (IE "I'm not staff so why bother").

Anyway, my thoughts on the board as a whole have been discussed in the staff area. But to restate the key points:

-Acmlm is rarely seen on the boards (I can't speak for IRC, etc.)
-This gives the impression that he is not particularly interested in what goes on around here (Again, I could be wrong).
-It is thus weird to me that as staff, we either go running asking his opinion (Which may not be as well-informed as it could be as he's rarely here), or when there's conflict, BOTH sides try to sway him to their end (And then accuse the other side of "Manipulating" him, as happened with the staff reorganization; if he's really THAT easily manipulated, this brings up questions of a whole different sort as regards his leadership abilities).
-To go further with this, people unquestioningly accept "It says Acmlm's Board at the top, thus he's the leader", without stopping to think whether he really even wants to be the leader anymore, or if he's being the best leader he can..blah, you know what I mean. To use an analogy I first brought up in the staff area, "He's the king, if you will, and thus has the final say. But is it really good idea to consult a king who has no particular interest in ruling his kingdom?"
-In short, either Ace needs to make his presence more felt (And show that it's his board in something besides name now), OR we need some new blood to come in and effectively "lead" the board, because Ace seems to be little more than a figurehead now.

You may now crucify me.

Oh, and as for my opinions on Yiffy Kitten/||bass/Blades for admin:

Yiffy Kitten, as long as you can avoid flipping out like you did (As there's no other way to put it) when you got destaffed, I'd be willing to let bygones be bygones (As I recall, we had some heated words during the fallout of the last reorganization) and work alongside you.

||bass seems to be happy in his current role; it's my understanding that he effectively has power via PMA access if he really wants to use it anyway.

I haven't seen Blades post much, but then I think the two of us are in our own little corners of the board and rarely interact.

And that's that.

Gavin has good logic.

Other than that, NSNick for admin.

He is a Jedi.

wow Cymoro, editing quotes is a really nice and effective way of coming back at someone with a cock in his mouth.

Um, no he's not. What he's basically saying is that Ace doesn't necessarily care about the board anymore and shouldn't be counted on as the final word, and perhaps someone else should step in to take his place. Now, I've always known you to be rather in-fucking-sane, but seriously now, I hear reading comprehension is---

Acmlm isn't around any more for a reason.

Did any of you ever stop to think WHAT that reason is?

How much has Acmlm posted since I left, Jiz left, Phil left, knuck and Leg were banned, and others left?

That's what I thought..

See, idiots are left free to post whatever garbage they want, while other members are labeled "Spammers" or "Flamers" and banned. All against Acmlm's wishes.

No, we can't read his mind. But we can try to run things better so he comes back. The board ISNT past the point of no return. As long as it still says Acmlm's Board, there's still hope.
