Sentiments about the state of AGN

Please be patient. War Lord is aware of the problem around here, staff-related and otherwise, but has been MIA the past week; nothing can move forward until he returns.

I was about to say what if goKi came back, but I didn't realize that he's not an admin anymore.

Thanks CK/DD. 😊 Greatly appreciated. May as well start a new thread about it though. Could be a lot of deciding in it. Nominations will usually be PM'd. I also keep thinking that it'd be possible to nominate exactly two people for every category. To nominate yourself (Which you can do, apparently.) would give the possibility of failure within the voting poll thread, which would be a great embarrassment, if you're (And let's not take this the wrong way.) vain enough (Like me, I mean.) to nominate yourself for something if nobody else would, just to ensure that you have a chance to win something. Not nominating yourself can save yourself the embarrassment, however smaller, and can also give you a nice little surprise if you are nominated by someone in secret. But this is something to save for that new thread, I suppose.

While we are on the subject of Sr. Mods, what do you think it would be like if I were a Sr. Mod again?

...

BTW, DarkDragon 4 Admin. <3 He's ALWAYS Around, and he's intelligent as ... you name it.

I full hearted support DarkDragon for Admin great choise ShadowTiger 😊

I concur as well... Darky for Admin 😊

EDIT: That is if he's agreeable 😊

I'm not surprised that I'm not on the list. eh, whatever
My take on this: People come and go; and they change.
Not profound, but it's true. I still remember after I rejoined a few years ago, the boards were quite active, and reflecting on that, they're still pretty active. At the mention of GB, whatever happened to the Roasts held a number of years ago? or Gannonator for that matter? or an active chatroom? (the list could go on for a bit, but hopefully the point is understood)

I'd like to see a few more people on my admin campaign. >:O

I'm just going to throw out that anyone who wants to run for Admin can hire me as their "political adviser". My job will mostly consist of making up outrageous and easily disproved rumors about those running against you. If you make Admin I'll expect special treatment and continue to be your political adviser. That is, of course, until it looks like your reign as Admin is about to end. I will then jump ship as fast as I can and leave you looking like an idiot.

You are hired. 😮

Aside from that... 😉
I see that the Superlatives board is up.

I had already looked and I couldn't find those. But you can make your own thread in there.

I don't think my opinion matters anymore than anyone else's, so I'm just going to throw out there that I think that Admins should come from current SMods and SMods should come from current Mods, and those spots filled by available members. The latter two aren't as vital, but I definitely feel admins should come from SMods.

Wouldn't it be logic then to put someone there that can 😉

Well, yeah, obviously. However, it makes sense to first examine the current Senior Moderators and go from there, something I haven't seen yet in this thread, unless I missed something.

I just want to warn AGN to not suddenly promote a ton of people to mod/smod/admin status. Staff should always be a minority, and the infestation of moderators literally killed a board that I used to be active in a long time ago.

But I'm glad to see that there are very few if any mods that simply no longer come to AGN. Also, since this is my first time, I'm interested in where the superlatives and their effects will be going.

Well you could have posted any broken link and proven the same point.

AGN will never have too many moderators, there are only a few people that are active and only those can be mods, the rest will be regular members. It seems like that would work pretty well.

Hm. I believe I will happily retract my support for DarkDragon for Administrator. I simply do not see any reason to promote him up to it at this point. I think that it would be absolutely ridiculous to continue campaigning for it in any way at this point. :-z

...

Because He already is one. 😃

Absolutely freaking sweet. 'tis a grand day for AGN. Let us mark it on the calendar or something.

Anyway, headache.

*Note, I'm not trying to hold back anyone from being in a higher power. I'm just saying don't go overboard if anything. 😉

Yeah, I noticed DD was promoted to admin. Congrats! Finally, this is one of AGN's better choices in a while since I know he'll do very well.

Okay ST. Get back to getting those Superlatives up and running. Gitti-mao!

Yes, I've agreed to help War Lord fix up AGN and zeldaclassic.com. I haven't said anything because although I was added to the admin user group last week, he hasn't turned on any of my admin tools yet. So all of AGN's problems are not yet my fault 😉

Although it's true that I was not appointed from the senior moderator pool, I hope my work in ZC development has shown me to be trustworthy and dedicated to improving AGN and its community.

In any case, DN has created a Superlatives forum. I believe you wanted to organize them this year, ShadowTiger?

Ah, so it was DN. Thanks, yes, I've already "begun." Anyone interested in helping out, or just voicing their opinions, (Which we'd all love to do..) it's begun, I guess. No time like the present to start. 😊

I'll have to thank the big 'lug when I see him. Kudos again man. 😊 Best of luck on the Database.

Congrats Darky 😊 May your job be easy... your time enjoyable and all of us support you as you need us to... <hug>

Congrats DarkDragon 😃

when you get your admin tools tell us so we can start blaming you 😃😃😃
No really I know you do and did alot of good work for the zelda community on AGN and I am very happy that you get the ability to do even more :thumbsup:

If Prrkitty now also say that she is already a Smod then it turns out to be superwednesday 😉

😊 Thanks elise but I don't need to be an SMod hon (thank you very much). Our Darky will handle things as we need him to. So I'm quite happy being the Mod I am, of NM and SE, and helping elsewhere as I am needed and can 😊

I do appreciate all the love and support from y'all trying to get me into a higher position but I'm quite happy where I am... please and thank you very much.

Prr is secretly a Jedi Master and can use the Jedi Mind trick at will on DarkDragon to make him do her bidding.

Also congratulation DarkDragon. If you need any evil minions let me know.

I am very glad to see DD on board. We have needed someone with your dedication to ZC. Congrats!
