the ever changing staff list

[The Terminator 0]

WOAH, the staff list sre has changed. Remember the staff back in 2003? and why arent Dev and Carpman mods anymore. Man im so amazed at how fast time flys. i hadent seen the list in the longest time, man ime just rolls away when youre here for a long time. ay ways congrads to all who ae now in the staff(and he ones duke forgot to mention)

Congrads at making Admin Joesocwork!

 

 

 

i was going to post the list here and comment on it, but o can see it in the main menu, i accidently hit the copy button and it pasted the whole thing in chat![:0] lol!

[dev 47]

Well, Carpman had to leave his position, and I just closed a thread a minute ago, so I know mine still work....

[clindhartsen 5]

Well, it looks like my position isn't important enough to list anymore..........but I don't exactly show my greatness by not posting too much.

Anyway, I was also amased to see Joesocwork be turned into an administrator, just poped out of nowhere, congrats though (even though I already told ya that). Also, looks like the title under Dev is still valid, so continue the fight to improve ST dev

[dudyconstructor 46]

this si the busiest SC4 fan site, there are not many admins to take care fo everything, thats why there are many mods and ops out there

You have a point, Clindhartsen.  I'm about 2 1/2 months newer & approx. 2000 posts less than Dev (for example).  I don't claim to be as tech oriented as other members either.  But I've been here long enough and participated enough to appreciate and take part in the SimTropolis mystique and culture.  We all have our styles and people and institutions continually change and hopefully grow.  As part of that ST Way I'll let the membership decide on their own what was seen in me to appoint me as an admin and I'll try the best that I can to be worthy of it. 


Thanks for your congratulations TT, Clind, and others!

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

We've gone through some changes.  We have several new moderators, a new admin, and a few resignations.  Tis life in Simtropolis.

[Joesocwork 4]

P.S. For all of the changes, Dirk remains in control and everything will be cool.

No, that is really not a good point.  Post count and date joined are not major factors into the decision of who is asked to join the staff.   The ways of the Dirktator can be mysterious.

[Superstar 69]

I realized Golfbunney was on the list but just yesterday I noticed that his user level is member
And I also noticed we have a new administrator *goes to open a congratulation thread*

Yes, I have noticed that some Administrartors and Moderators have varible post counts. There are many factors that go into being promoted. Almost to many to write.

[MrVegetable 2]

Well, post count and date joined don't matter. All of our moderators, administrators and chat operators are well respected and upstanding citizens of the Simtropolis Society! All three jobs are given to members who the current staff can trust to use the powers properly.

Also, congratulations to Joesocwork for becoming an admin!

That is a good point (pun not intended), moderators just seem to appear. It's how nice and helpful the member is, not how many times he/she have posted .

[samantha 138]

 

Things do constantly change, three great admins have retired since Simtropolis first appeared on the web, SimJez, Hodges & the Bunny, but life and peoples situations change.  We've also lost some great moderators along the way - Sharr, GouRou, Larsz...and I'm sure the staff will continue to change along with the community. 

 

Right now I think we have a great team of moderators in place who are helping run this site, and remember, they get nothing for doing this, its all simply because they are prepared to give up their own time and help ensure this site keeps going and runs smoothly.  And we were also very fortunate that Joe decided to join us as an administrator, he completely understands the fundamentals this site was built on and he is just a great guy to have around.

Imagine if i was a mod or admin......

Id probably turn ST into a smuldering ruin and id be standing in the middle of it playing some Megadeth song on my guitar and headbanging. LOL!

 

But the ST of my $%&^! days was a great place, and i' alwayd fondly remember it for the rest of my life, i mean it. And ST today is a great place, i have a feeling ill be here for a long time, with some others too hopefully!

Well, if post count and membership time was the largest factor in becoming a staff member here, DT would be a god-like figure here

And that is exactly why you will never be staff at any website. unless someday you create your own....

 

And as stated, post count and time of membership mean nothing to it. It really depends on your contributions to the community, and your maturity and availability to handle a position.

 

Me, I just hang around and post, taking part in converstions. And I'm not perfect. I have gotten postes edited and deleted. And I learn from it. Actually, there have been times where I've not really been sure at all whether something was just below or just over the line. In such cases, I usually just go a head and post it, figuring it it's a problem, the modmins will take care of it....

I'd rarther get the occasional post edited for a minor infraction than be overly conservative at what I post, in order to try and display myself and express myself as best I can. Howevere, some people don't learn, and sometimes post completely rediculous things. A certain cousin of mine that i just quoted comes to mind....

[The Terminator 0]

Yes duke i am retarted, and i DO HAVE ADD,YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was once banned out of chat at dukes house, he got sooooo pissed, i widh i could of taped his spaz and posted it here! i do admit alot of these things are just me being an ass, but alot i cant control.

 

Anyways

 

i really have been suprised by how much change there has been, and how active this community is. other forums i know are complete jokes and have no serious members, but not this one, and thats why i love simtropolis.

For a couple of weeks now, but the community didn't congratulate him.  The admins and moderators did, off in the staff meeting room, but everyone else didn't notice.    He was the first of seven new moderators.

** flashes shiny new nametag around with the words ' moderator' on it **

 

Just noticed aswell you left me off the staff list , hehe

I have noticed since I joined Simtropolis. But as I haden't been on Simtropolis that long so I asumed she had been a moderator for years.

 

Anyway, well done guinea.

[guinea 31]

Thanks all

Since Ski broke out to this side, I also want to  say a big YAY out here for those selected as Moderators!!    ST continues to show its vibrancy & the membership will be well benefitted!!

[Chris M 406]

Nice job, Guinea ! I think I remember congratulating you on MSN.

[Dippit 0]

Congratulations all new moderators and Admin!
