We have had a major staff change today.
As seen from the new listing, Joker is no longer our tech admin. He has been Honorably Discharged.
New admins and mods have been carefully selected by the admins (including me), and we assure it's for the better.

I have to say that with the admin selecting, it was the very wise choice! Congratulations on the winners! However for the mod choosing...
Its just a popularity contest.
I'm not saying I don't like the new choices but in the past three mods selected its just a popularity contest. People like LP or Kokusho would be much better selections for the jobs.

Veronika ...
Look, that's not true. The staff chose people who will be on all the time, who make sense (compared to some people) and people who would actually be willing to help make this forum a better place. It's not based on popularity, it's based on who the staff thinks would be a decent choice.
If you don't like it ... well ....
Everyone has a mod or admin chose that they don't like. But we put up with it, whether we like it or not. XP

It was chosen carefully between me and the admins. It was a decision we had to make fast. If we could have did something like a contest, we would have, but yea, it was a quick thing we needed to do.

I don't fully see the point in the staff change. I do believe that in that decision, choosings should be wise and well thought of, not capricious and based on friendship as I have seen with many other of the staff members. Hopefully in the future, such decisions will occur again and be as it once was in the past with AD and SB around. After all, history repeats itself. It's just a matter of when and how that still confuses me.
I'm sorry for the loss. Joker has improved this forum beyond comprehension - moreso then anyone ever could. I admire him as a friend and a leader, which he was.
Good luck, FD and FGF.

I wish I could tell you the whole story, but it happened behind closed doors. I will miss Joker, I offered him a chance, but he declined.
I hope me and him can still stay in contact.

People like LP or Kokusho would be much better selections for the jobs. That means a lot to me,thank you Veronika.I'm sure you'd make a fine mod yourself. The thing is lately (more or less in this year) I've been having problems with certain things and though I check this forum regularly,there is a pint of bad blood between me and maybe one or two others.Of course,all of this is on a private basis. But anyways,it's not as if they had a lot of time anyways and if it just so happens to be a popularity contest we'll never know. LP

Popularity contest? FALSE! We choose the staff based on many things, popularity not being one of them. Hell, a few people on this forum don't even like Nick. And in NO way are these two the most popular on the forum. Veronika, I'd suggest you either get your facts straight or stop complaining. We have it all under control.

We didn't have time for a vote, I'm sorry, but we didn't. We had to make a quick decision.
Next time will be a vote, mark my words on that.

And if it was a vote, it'd generally be... more of a popularity contest than us chosing. Mod contests are probably the best thing we'll do, though.
And I'm glad I'm not the newest mod anymore. Underdogs rule. XP
