Hurdy Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Could someone please explain what is going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Could someone please explain what is going on here?Last night I submitted a proposed change for the layout of Windows Forum, You are seeing that change now when you look at the forum. Nothing has been deleted it's still there but just under a different board name. Board names are all that have changed, some new, but previous topics can be seen under these new boards.The big change however is that the THE JOKE BOARD board has gone, [but don't worry Craig just has it hidden from us all]. The reason for this is that Windows Forum is moving, yup were moving on with the times; to become more professional and if this means ditching the joke board then so be it.Now some facts:Forum Member: Has few privileges on the board, but of the privileges that are there. They allow him/her to participate on the forum.MODERATOR: A few more options are available and it is his/her role to moderate posts and keep it friendly.ADMIN: A whole host of options to choose from from creating new boards to deleting them.ROOT: Root access on the board is well you have everything to play with, only one person with root access and that is Craig.Let's say Andsome wanted a new board - more than likely he would ask for it and a decison would be made on whether he would get it.. That's how it works...However last night everything happened very quickly, when I submitted the proposed changes, Craig liked them so much that he made the changes and didn't tell anyone :(Not even his fellow ADMINS.Now I'm sure Craig would admit that this was a simple mistake on his behalf. Now as has been seen, further changes to the board have also been made [Misc coming back] so the changes I submitted were not final.The reason why ellas left was because of the same reason northamuk left and that reason was? They just didn't like the way "I was taking over" and so they left.They made a decision and are now gone.I [powerless] have not taken over, I simply had an idea that would change the way the forum would look as said above.

Gandalph Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 All sounds a little bit petty to me. Perhaps Craig should have communicated the new suggestions with Ellas and Northy and the rest of the Mods and Admins and whatever but I still don't see the sense in their decision to leave the Forum. C'mon Northy and Ellas, let's see the pair of you back doing the wonderful job you were doing in the past. Thing's won't be the same without the pair of you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Before we all get into petty slanging and stirring matches can we keep this civil, Both Ellas and Northamuk are respected members of this board, they both put a lot of hard work into this forum (As have many people) and sometimes things get on top of them, this is just a time off period for them and i'm sure they'll be back.

djohn Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I was out last night and have been busy most of today so just catching up on threads. I'm really sorry to hear that ellas and northy have left, hope they both have a good weekend and back here for Monday.They are excellent members of the forum, it will not be the same without them. Both are well liked, even poor old northy who often was left with the rough end of the stick when it came to keeping us in line.I don't see why they feel powerless is trying to take over the forum though, I don't see it that way, just that he is a driving force pushing the forum forward. He puts a lot of hard work into his tutorials and I think we all learn something from them.I'm a bit lost for words now and not sure what to say, on the one hand I think the reasons they gave for leaving are wrong and they should have stayed and sorted it out. On the other hand I agree with -pops-.I genuinely hope they both reconsider their decision and return to the forum soon. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Just for the record..
