RSS feeds?

/me also seconds.

zeroguy · Postby **zeroguy** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 1:49 am

I must say, having an RSS feed here might finally convince me to actually get/use a reader..., so I have to go against that.

Suggestion: a more impartial corps of mods. I have to say (and I don't mean any offense to the moderators, they're great people) that the moderation here is not very good compared to other places I've been. Either it's too draconian or too lax, and one of the biggest problems is that the mods aren't impartial.

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 4:44 pm

the mods were all approved by Ami, and since it's her site, i'm pretty sure she wouldn't have picked them if she didn't think they could perform their functions well.

Postby **Hegemon** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 4:46 pm

Honestly, it seems to me that most people here who are not perpetual s***-disturbers seem to be fine with our mods.

powerfulcheese04 · Postby **powerfulcheese04** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 4:49 pm

This is actually a very impartial set of mods. Based on what i know of their personal opinions of people, if they acted on those, a lot of people that accuse them of impartiality would be in a s***** more trouble than they are.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 5:00 pm

Well, not everybody agrees. You can't improve if you just write off everybody who disagrees with you.

I have an idea! Lets make Eriador a mod.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:22 pm

I'd take it, but before you try, I'd like to warn you that I'd be a terrible mod. Sure, I'd try my best, but in the end I would be no better than the biased ones we already have. Sorry to rain on your parade Nick.

Heh, as I recall.... it was rather first-ask, first-serve.

That said, no complaints here.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:30 pm

Well, if zero's right, I propose that we demote all our mods and get new ones on a merit-based system. But only if zero's right.

Postby **Hegemon** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:31 pm

He actually wasn't right... It sort of worked out that way, but that is not how it happened behind the scenes.

Gravity Defier · Postby **Gravity Defier** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:32 pm

Merit-based, it'd be the same batch of people.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think so.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:50 pm

The mods were chosen based on merit. Certain people spoke up, and they were a) mods on pweb II, or b) people who had been long-standing potentials. Long-time oldbies who were known to be reasonable, dependable, and fair.

Pweb II died, so you can't easily see its history. That's a real shame, because your coup attempt would be even funnier if it still existed.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:51 pm

Coup attempt? I never said that. I'm just a stupid kid with nothing to do.

Virlomi · Postby **Virlomi** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:01 am

Suggestion: I propose we have a monthly competition, and get to vote one member off the Pweb Island. What do you think?

Postby **Jayelle** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:06 am

absolutely.

hive_king · Postby **hive_king** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:41 am

do we get an immunity challenge?

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:52 am

Suggestion: better, clearer rules in all forums.

We've got them in the religion forum. Other boards have a forum dedicated to them. We have the terms and conditions that we agree to at the beginning... which are hard to find. I don't know where to turn to see what I did wrong last night.

i disturb no s*** and don't care for most of the choices in mods. never really have been fond of the mods here.

with a couple exceptions. john being one of them.

zeroguy · Postby **zeroguy** » Sun Apr 08, 2007 2:34 am

He actually wasn't right... It sort of worked out that way, but that is not how it happened behind the scenes.

Okay, a slight bit of clarification of my perception of things. It was almost certainly partially merit-based, in the vain that mods had to be above a certain level of merit. I assume that if some random newbie stopped by that day and asked, that they wouldn't be running the place now. But, since nobody did, I cannot actually say that it wouldn't have happened, heh.

Gravity Defier · Postby **Gravity Defier** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 6:09 pm

Kindly ask Ami to find a place that doesn't feel the need to shut itself down for days at a time every few months?

Pweb 2.0, to my recollection, was never this bad about going offline.

Postby **Amka** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 4:05 pm

We will actually be moving this to another server beginning of next week.

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 5:20 pm

Same address or a different one?

Will our posts on this one be lost?

Assuming Amka backs up the database, everything will still here after the move.

Postby **Amka** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 8:51 pm

We're doing this with foreknowledge (unlike the last one) so we'll have full backup.

Basically, what will happen is during transfer we'll have to freeze the forum while it is on this server, we'll have everything saved and copy it onto the new server. When we have that so it is upgraded and running smoothly, we'll change domain servers and then it will all be functioning.

I could do this without freezing it, but every post between backup and switching on to the new server would disappear.

Any estimate on how long this freezing period will last?

Nice to see you again, by the way.

Thank you.

And what zero said; it is good to see you posting.

Postby **Amka** » Sun Sep 30, 2007 7:22 pm

The freezing time, unfortunately, has to do with register.com and their very slow switch over on domain names. It may be up to a couple of days.

But, it will be working (the new PhpBB version is already installed, but the database is not yet there for obvious reasons) on the new server.

Another thing that is being installed into Pweb is a content manager for the rest of the site, and we will be finally able to have user input there.

zeroguy · Postby **zeroguy** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 12:26 am

Apparently I can still post replies? Hm... the data seems about a week old, though.
