And you were the person who treats me decently from time to time, until I mess up big time.

[KingRidley]

Right. That's not what people think I think, but it is.

If I join the new forum, I'll get banned immediatly won't I?

I'm just asking now, so I can say goodbye to the guys who would treat me decently from time to time.

Honestly I think you're pretty much past the point of having to worry about it. You still make stupid posts from time to time but I'm pretty sure they're just things you say because you're younger than the rest of us. The only thing that really bothers me still is the way you constantly beat up on yourself in your posts, even if it has gotten significantly better in the past month or two. Besides, it's not like a board move is going to activate marshal law mode with the staff. We're going to be voting on the staff members, from the sound of it, and staff decisions are still not just up a single person. Our mods have always worked with each other as a team, for the most part, and I like that. Yeah, I imagine some of the faces on that line-up are bound to change, but it won't change how things are done.

And I think it's safe to say that should we decide it's time to move, we aren't going to be moving to any of the boards already around such us Metrasha, CMB, Sagggingbaggingbarrysauce, etc. As much as we'd all like to have a slice in the power, a new entity is going to need to be created or else it's just going to feel like one of the board moves of the past and we'll all end up here again.

[Neckbeard]

If we do make a move, then I agree- it should be somewhere that's totally fresh that can be built from the ground up to suit the needs of the community and so that the administrators and moderators have total and complete control over the entire board. I also agree that we should move somewhere totally new so that it doesn't feel like we're leaving one old place, just to go back to another old place that failed the first time there was a move instituted. I don't think that would go over very well.

Not all of us are here for games, though. Hell the only real topic in the game section is the currently playing anyway.

I could always start posting a thread for every single game that's coming out on Nintendo's platforms again. And I could start posting in orange again. And we could get Zog back in here to flame me for doing such.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind a move.

Please don't.

[@tomic]

So no objections to me posting in orange again?

[Pryex]

Yes.

[I didn't do it]

Trying to get the reins from NR (domain name and access to however the website is hosted) is probably the most reasonable. It would be sad if projectjen.net was dead by virtue of relocation.

[Pryex]

Yeah, but even after that man, if we just got the reins, it would be dead by lack of people joining.

[@tomic]

Not really, we've lasted quite awhile without many new people joining.

Good luck trying to ask to take control from NR though, since he's never around.

[I didn't do it]

He is a real person you know. There are ways of talking to him outside the forum.

If projectjen.net gets taken over by the current community (or NR allows others to admin the site along side him) this place can be redesigned, new options, new discussion themes, and new style can be added to this domain without having to relocate.

[Toki]

I'd be all for Dave co-admining.

[Phizz]

i think we asked night red once about selling the domain and the response was basically never

[Toki]

That's pretty much what I'd expect, and that's why I suggested we see if he'll just give Dave admin powers, and we can revamp the staff since the line-up is horribly outdated.

[Catfish]

An update on the situation:

This topic looks dead, but I haven't forgotten or anything and something is being done about another board. It was more of an announcement and a call to gradual action rather than saying ALRIGHT GUYS LETS DO THIS RIGHT NOW--I'll post one of those later.

My job status is looking good, I won't know for sure until weekend whether I got it, but right now it looks pretty certain. Once I can start raking in some income I'll begin serious talks with people over the main issues like hosting, who's admin and the like, and then present the forum for the community to comment on and tweak before presumably making the move.
In the meantime we still need to resolve what to call the place and what the domain should be. Personally, I'm good with projectjen.org since we're only moving and not rebranding.

Also if you have any suggestions at all drop them in here. Really, I want all the feedback you guys got.

Oh, and for those that would rather stay, I shot NR another PM about the situation and getting more admin privileges. We'll see if it gets any response.

[Pryex]

Those who want to stay are sorta out-voted. I dunno about a domain name though.

I think those who want to move would still be happy if we gained control of this forum

[@tomic]

Sure, but I'm not certain NR would go for it or even see the PM for that matter.

[Toki]

DOHOHOHOOOO NR'S NEVER AROUND I GET IT

Seriously shut up with that shit, and I'm not directing this at anyone in particular. NR does come and check his PM box. Just because he never posts doesn't mean he's never here at all.
