In light of certain events happening exactly a year ago this time, I've been emotionally unstable. 3. I don't take my medication for my Bipolar anymore because of various reasons. 4. I felt slighted that my involvement on here has been underappreciated and this is not the case. I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I never thought you were acting like a prick. I do think that you might need to simply hold your horse for a week and kind of settle out, then make a reasonable decision that you discuss with all involved parties. In private, airing it out in public won't do anyone any good. Anyways, good luck with whatever you decide to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing here is, you stopped yourself from screwing over two groups of people. That shows maturity and the ability to see a situation for what it is and how you can act in the best interests of all. It seems to me like you are a bit manic right now, so maybe get a cheesesteak and :420: for a bit, then you can see things with a clearer head.

Guest The Hound Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 There should definitely be some dialogue over #4. You worked hard on some things that got rolled back and that would suck for anyone. Even tho you overreacted I never thought you were being a dick for being mad about it, but from what I heard it seems like something that can be worked out. I'd like to know more about what happened and what has been happening behind the scenes. Like I'd probably donate more $$$ if I knew what the staff were doing. Well... okay. Forget everything from before. Goal is for me to help out on IPB when this switches eventually, but at the same time I have need of hosting again for a number of reasons. One being my 3d work, one being a group of people that aren't from here want something different, and another being a bunch of people on here wanted something more [as] fan official. Now that being said I will still be looking for my own hosting on Thursday, and probably the first thing I'm putting up is a forum. It's not that big of a deal and anyone is free to do whatever they want. It is not going to look like this place at all. This is all that was ever supposed to be, I didn't mean for it to get out of hand like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 basically atm am getting thoughts on the situation from the admins, mods and volunteers. I've talked to Viper, and we exchanged some ideas on what to do/where to go from here. I told him I was going to widen that circle a bit and get feedback from the rest of the crew, see what they thought. Also reading the board just to see what everybody's general thoughts are. So atm sort of waiting and reading. and then when it feels like everybody's weighed in, I'll take all that and talk it over with Viper and see what we're gonna do.

Guest The Hound Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 what exactly do you mean? Letting him back in good graces? Or are we talking about petty cosmetic things? I have actually said I only want the cosmetic stuff. I don't want part of the other shit. The html, css and shit for the theme for IPB, the username icons (which will work btw on IPB I know exactly how to do it). Changing username's colors and custom ranks that sort of thing. There's more control on IPB. Imagine you have a template to basically edit the physical appearance of anyone's forum profile. That's what IPB has. I can directly edit the username color, put an image next to it, animate it, all sorts of fancy shit. I have an idea about all those things too to really make the forum readable and pop. Comparing what I know about IPB - I literally know nothing about smf where as I have written my own mini plugins for IPB, 3 to be exact. Something I suck at on here.

Guest The Hound Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Another thing is Luuv has talked about adding traffic to the site multiple times - I could actually do that in a heart beat but it's not up to me. I'm saying like..... hmm.. Maybe 20+ extra active users a day and a total of an extra 40-50 logins a month? About 10 of them are people pretty close to me - a bunch of my gamers friends who dislike things like reddit and are more traditional. That was part of the reason I'm making my own forum, but maybe... just maybe if I can bring people here I won't have to waste any money. I just never bothered asking considering we're a group of people we all know, but recently Rogue has brought someone to the board that's from the outside... so.. .times changing?

mthor Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 1. I don't like talking about it but I am Bipolar. Thought so. That explains a lot. It doesn't excuse anything, not for fuggs or Phillies or me - or you. But it does explain a lot. I understand that you don't take the meds - we've all got med horror stories. I hate them - I miss the rush of energy and creativity that comes with hypomania. But man, you've got to do something. You're young, you're reasonably intelligent, you've got skills, and you're reasonably personable. But you are so fucking erratic; yes, it's due to cycling, but most people can't tolerate it. You're going to lose jobs, friends, lovers, and self-respect - if you haven't already. Please, for your own sake, do what you have to do to take care of yourself, even if you hate it.

I'm waiting on KN to get us on solid server ground before we try to go for more users. And at least atm, I'm thinking about a bunch of different stuff. Basically from the beginning, we weren't going to go for any big new spooj of users until KN upgraded the server, which he was planning to do. Now it looks like that will coincide with the IPB. So we'll probably wait til that's all up before we start newb initiatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 In the meantime though, we seem to get some new users - like a few a week or so. And then some - like 10+ bots a day trying to sign up. But basically there's no real rules on who or what or how many people anybody can invite. The plans we always discuss in terms of inviting new users are more about like when we start reaching out for more users via SEO and other such strategeries. As far as just casual invites go, we really don't have any say in that. Although, sometimes with the botscreen up, people might have to poke us to get an SN approved, if it is somehow unfortunate enough to get caught up in the botnet.

NaBarney Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've been trying to get an irl friend to join to contribute to political threads but he's gay and one night we were drinking heavily and I was shitposting in a thread about homophobia and he asked what I was doing and I explained what the thread topic was and how it was going and what the general consensus of the topic was and he decided he didn't want to post here based mostly on that. Then out of anger I started telling other users they drink piss out and after that he especially didn't want to join. I did use one of his jokes in a post though and when I showed him the dumb response it got we laughed really hard at the person who posted it so I think there is still hope.

Guest The Hound Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 IPB is so dope I can create dynamic backgrounds that move and interact for each sub-forum and tons of other things that I've done for the software before the AMAZING thing is the skins all sacle... so that will load on cell, table and desktop all together in tandem.

Guest The Hound Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 In the case of the new users, I will hold off until we switch to IPB, I might also need a sub-forum put up for them that I can manage and moderate because there will be at least 20-30 people that could possibly come looking for something specific.
