Bump Them Up to Blue.

Making this thread was inspired by the discovery of a rather interesting website and accompanying advertisement, in terms of gossip.
http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/auction/15728

Now, if you read through this site, you should get a clear idea of what's happening. Nah, I'm not venting, I'm not dramatising or any of that [although the focus of the forums seems to have shifted from discussing to profit-making]. The purpose of this thread is entirely different.

Unless the few people who brought this to my attention and I have totally grabbed the wrong end of the stick, LeeD's trying to sell FFF. Long story short, we've come to the conclusion that we're going to need some consistency in our Administrators. With Darkblade gone [and inactive anyway] and the other two Administrators being technically orientated, we're going to need another Administrator or two to basically give a face value to the site and to keep the maintainance consistent. By that, I mean -- if we have a problem that needs to be taken to an Administrator, we wont have to worry about re-capping the events to the possible new Administrator [who might not even be interested in the forum itself -- only in selling it on further].

It's been discussed for quite a while now, anyway, but to clarify, a number of us have unofficially proposed that Lady Aerith and Saix both be promoted to Administrators to fulfil the above purpose.

LeeD, particularly, if you could both reply to this thread to confirm our thoughts and approve/disapprove of our proposal, we would sincerely appreciate it.

They need and deserve to be Admins, and i'd agree full heartedly with that proposal, they're both loyal and active Gmods, and would be perfect for an Admin spot. I've already pmed LeeD with my thoughts on Admins/Gmods so, he knows what i'd like to see happen. I'm just one person however, and it's his decision in the end.

And you say DB is gone, but is he really gone? He's still on the staff last and has the "administrator" star on his profile, same as the FFF System still has trhe "forums staff" star on their profile.
 
I agree, Lady Aerith and Saix should be bumped to admin before LeeD sells the website. If they get bumped then we would need two more Gmods who are up for the job. *cough*RikuandAG*cough*
 
I was somewhat surprised to see that advert really. If LeeD was in it for the money all along, then well done to him. Clever investment in my eyes. I don't necessarily agree with the remark that people wouldn't care about the site being sold though.

I wouldn't have any problems with either LA or Saix being bumped up to admins, providing they're willing of course.
 
LA and Saix should definitely be bumped up to admins, and i agree with Cerridwen. Riku and AG definitely need to be upgraded to Gmods, and since Rhea has stepped down Warbs too
 
Since we're on the subject, Riku's been a Gmod and a section mod before, and should LA and Saix be admined, he would be the perfect replacement for them in my eyes. Another, perfect candidate in my opinion, for the same reasons as Riku, is Judge Rulia.

As for AG = Gmod plz. I'd do it if i was offered, but i'd rather the job went to JR/Riku

I think a staffing team led under LA and Saix would be perfect, they balance each other out, and they're on different time zones, so an active admin would be easier to reach.

I don't know Saix that well but I agree Adminning him would be a good idea. [he's on another site that i'm on]

LA, I do know and I personally [though my opinion matters very little] think she would make a fantastic Admin. She's constistent and fair and thats what every forum needs.

AG, you'd make a great g-mod. As would Riku. And as you said, so would Judge Rulia.

I have to agree with everyone [as little as this may matter it does to me o_O] LA and Saix fer admin <3
 
I spoke to LeeD last week and he never mentioned anything about it, so I'm somewhat shocked. Additionally, I agree that LA would be an awesome admin. Saix, I'm not sure about as I have had history with him in the past.

As for myself, you all have no idea how bad I wish I could afford to buy this place and keep it going, but I'm still a little bit off from having that much money for right now. Suffice it to say though, I'm good at Vb, love FF, and know some about these boards should help ever be needed.
 
Ooh, I got mentioned. I don't know if anyone would consider modding me after inactivity, but if people are saying things now, then I'd love to pick up activity and prove myself. Though I do believe AG should be a Greeny Global too, as Riku <3
 
...is it me or is everyone saying the same thing??
i was told to post in here so im gonna although i dont have much to say... I say that LA and Saix should be bumped up to blue, and i think that AG and Riku would be good as Green..
 
Good grief. I leave you all for a day, expecting a petition to get Lady Aerith and Saix going when I come back, and I find that every post wants Lisa and I back on the team. Ego boost :cool:

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I'm not gonny ask for a Global Moderator position, or any other position for that matter - but I wont deny that, if I was offered, I'd take it. Staffing is infinitely better, more rewarding and more interesting than being a regular member and, being on both extremes, I can say that confidently :P

However, let's not detract from the point at hand.

Who better to lead FFF than the Officially Elected King and Queen of FFF - Lady Aerith and Saix?
 
As one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, (known by our human name of "RPG Moderators") I say "aye" to LA and Saix. (Riku I stole your "aye":P)
Besides, LA is loved by 97.567% of FFF and that's a high percentage, and Saix is quite a professional, and since he is a fan of LOK, that's worthy of my respect.

All hail King and Queen XD

(I might become prince someday....*dreams*)
 
To be realistic...LeeD bought the site off of DB, fair and square, and it's his decision whether or not he wants to sell the site.

Me, personally...I would be content if the site was owned by the members themselves. If Lady Aerith and Saix, and even Belazor owned the site together, I would be extra happy.

How on earth would that happen though?



BIG HUMONGOUS EDIT
After reading through the entire auction; including the conversation between LeeD and potential buyers...I think that we should be helping LeeD to sell the site. Perhaps if we help him with the sale by providing some of the information which he has no knowledge of, we'll be more likely to receive a buyer that we're all interested in. After all...the next owner should be one that we can all relate to/respect.
If we took a route like that, we could make sure he includes other details in his auction. E.g. "Staff that wish to converse with the potential buyer before auction end."

I'm actually in total agreement with you. However, I think you've missed the point that I was originally trying to make. Whether or not Lee is actually planning on selling the site is irrelevant and was only mentioned because most of us believe that we will need two consistently active and well-known members [and current staffers] as our Administrators.

As for helping out with providing information about the site, Lee, feel free to ask me, any other veterans or the long-serving staff for details about the site that you might be interested in.
 
I agree with Riku and Rhea. We should talk to LeeD and give him our opinions, because it really wouldn't benefit us all if he assumes things... (ie. would we care if we have a new owner - very much so because we want someone who we could talk to and step up to be just that...a leader. A nice one at that.)

In my honest opinion, I'm worried that the site will just turn into one huge profit organization. Sure, LeeD has the right to sell his site...but like Riku mentioned earlier, it may become a problem later down the road if we go through vast amounts of owners who are only in it for the investment and not a sentimental value like it is to many of us.

This then turns to the subject at hand. Yes, we do need new administrators to help out the new would-be owner. However Riku, you said that it is irrelevant whether LeeD is trying to sell the site or not when it comes down to needing new administrators. Um, I'm not in total agreement of that statement. To be honest, I'm more concerned about the site being sold and falling into the wrong hands more than I am concerned about needing new administrators for the reason of just us wanting well-known new administrators. That is why I think Rhea's post and your post earlier ties in more to what I'm trying to say.

We need to give our inputs to LeeD and help him sell the site (you know, having the members be part of it too because really, we are the ones who also keep the site going if you think about it...without the dedication of members, the site may be a failure) and we'll need new administrators (like you suggested, Riku) who we can trust and be comforted by the fact that the site will be in good hands.

It would be very cool if the new would-be owner and the new would-be administrators put their heads together and come up with great new additions to the site. The new admins could help out the new owner and we won't have to worry about any weird schemes going on behind the scenes. That's my whole point.

With that, I'm up for Saix and Lady Aerith. :D

Well besides my humble opinion on aiding LeeD in his sales...there are no two people that I would trust more as site admins other than LA, Saix, and Belazor. (We cannot forget Belazor.). ^.^
 
Yes he was, but i think he stepped down due to disagreements with BustaMo or Aztec...more likely Aztec.

Now that LeeD is the only forum admin, we really need at least one more forum admin, the other two - Belazor and Ken, are technically based, and at least one more forum Admin will make a heck of a of a change...
