After going through all those stupid ass pages in the flame chamber to see that MS was gone I am wondering, and don't take this the wrong way: What exactly do you do for the site? What improvements have you brought? You said a few times that you're not appreciated and I kinda was like "I've been here a long ass time, before the site crash or whatever happened to it (i used to be the GFX Mod) and I don't really remember This Guy (meaning you, pun intended). Would you mind pointing out exactly what it is you should be appreciated for so I can have a better understanding as to why you felt/feel the way you do.
First, you have to understand this is by far the hardest time I've had replying...not because of not being able to think of anything because I thought of a bunch off the top of my head. But because I accidently clicked a button while typing the first time and had to start over again and then when I went to submit the board crashed....fortunatly after my first mistake I remembered to copy this into a notepad file first just in case. lol Anyways here is my actual post....
I will be the first to admit that I don't do as much as I used to. I just don't have as much time as I used to.
But I mean I can understand why someone might ask what your asking but the truth is, Monk really hasn't done anything more then I or Chuck. But since you asked here are some of the things I've done since joining the staff.
1) Betting Zone. I took this over when Mike Chaos didn't want to run it anymore. If it wasn't for my intrest in running it, Chaos plan was to get rid of it at the time. But I was one of the most consistant participants and so Mike made me mod of the section.
2) I took over Trivia as an S-Mod because the two mods of the time weren't managing it at all. They never even showed up. I revised the rules of the section to make it more fair. Although the section doesn't see as much activity now, the original response to the section after me taking over made it more popular then ever.
3) I brought my GM Pool into the forum. It became more popular here then it ever did when I ran it off site. And I already have more people signed up for this upcoming season then I did last.
4) I redid the layout of the e-fed section when the e-fed staff said that the current system wasnt working and updated there staff properly when the system failed too.
5) I locked out the btb and other user created sections from guests when there was an overwhelming complaint from the members of people stealing there creations.
6) When Mark & Mike asked for the rules to be re-written by monk, chuck or myself, I re-wrote them. The current rules listed (posted by chuck) were written by me.
7) The old infraction system was vague, I came up with the current infraction system we use.
8) I created the IWF Photo Album and locked it out as well when it was also complained about people stealing photos from the real you section
9) I was the admin that spear headed the campain to create the MMA section when xba sujested we have one. I also then in turn created MMA Tipsters and a seperate MMA Betting Section
10) And speaking of Tipsters, when Monk couldn't keep up with it, I asked if he wanted me to take it over for him. (which he originally said no) but when there was no update for another 2 months he changed his mind.
11) I created 2 styles of trivia tournaments that people loved (Triple Teasers & Crazy Eights) and ran 5 of these total between the 2 types.
12) I merged the 360 Gamertag Threads & PS3 User name Threads and edited them all to clarify which were which to cut down on the number of stickied threads in the Gaming Zone
13) Changing Hell in a Thread back to Hell in a Thread after months of complaints of the name being changed in the first place.
Thats all I can really think of off the top of my head. Not to mention countless hours of dealing out my share of infractions, bans, dealing with the ban appeals, and other regular staff stuff that all the staff deal with. And of course dealing with avatar and name requests as all the admins do.
And by the way I've heard some say monk did alot which I won't deny, but what did he really do that was better then the type of stuff I mentioned? Lots of the stuff he did that is memorable was silly stuff. And I've done my share too like changing Hell in a Thread to Lame in a Thread for a short time when everyone was just copying everyone elses thread ideas.
Anyways, I hope that answers your question. Feel free to tell me if you still think I haven't really done anything and if so, I'd love to hear what you think Chuck & Monk do/did that is so much greater. Because feedback can only make me better.
