myBB upgrade thread
- Thread starter Watashiwa
- Start date
I would merely point out that threatening the forum in such a way as to affect the browsing and visiting of every single member has only been attempted once before to my knowledge in TFF history over its 10 1/2 years (between prior and current)... It was by Nick012000, and to date is one of the few actions that made sure to anger every single member of the forum and make sure that user was remembered for all time, if for the wrong reasons.
I would urge you to reconsider such a route.

Well, I'm already in that boat already.
To put it plainly I'm pissed that nTFF has turned into oTFF where the forum isn't even being cared for anymore. 15 months. The banners have been there for 15 freaking months.
Add that to 2/3 moderators not logging in the past month, with the remaining not showing up for more than 2 weeks?

Granted TFF barely needs upkeep, but even the cactus needs a little bit of water.
Yes, it was probably not smart to respond to what I perceived as a personal attack by threatening the board. And yes I no longer plan to run away with the domain.
Wata or Ero, please PM me ASAP about transferring the domain to either of you guys. (I don't plan on renewing it in March)

You're mad about it being there for '15 months!', but this last month is the first time TFFh as even heard of the 'issue,' which is quite frankly so fucking unimportant I'm not surprised nobody gave a shit. None of use the fallback skin- it's just that, FALLBACK.
Also, this isn't a full time job. The entire point of multiple admins and multiple moderators was so that there was a still coverage even when they're busy.
They don't owe any of us shit- they're the ones that accepted the shittyass job of looking after this place.

Obviously other people use the default skin otherwise no one would have been able to explain, let alone post pictures of, it when it was being described.
You are right, it isn't a full time job. That being said it shouldn't take as long as its been to get an official response.
No, I disagree. The election process was both an offering and acceptance of trust. By accepting it they also accept the onus of a leadership role. Saying they don't owe any of us shit is like saying, "If they wanted to, they could walk away tomorrow never to return to the forum" No! Just No! There is a reason why being an admin/mod is a responsibility

Seeing how there's been multiple posts on how the annoying banners have disappeared for other users, once they logged in, it's safe to say that the default board has a bug in it.
I have looked at the other skins and prefer the default skin.
I understand that people have jobs and lives to lead, and that their positions are voluntary.
It would have been nice to have Wata or Ero post that they were looking into it.

Actually... I cannot speak for anyone else, but I've been seeing it straight this whole time as well as I use that skin (I did not know it was skin specific though, as I almost never change skins)... I just never cared enough to bring it up. I merely figured either someone would get to it eventually, or not.
As for the rest... there is nothing that can be done to convince me to want to join anyone in it...

Real talk, schema?
This is where you are the fuckhead. Maybe you had a point, but when you start making threats, then you promote yourself to bad guy and lose sympathy. You don't deserve to get your complaints taken seriously if this is how you're going to escalate.
When you use holding the domain as a hostage to make threats, and then you make this argument...
how hypocritical can you get, man? Talking about how people have responsibility to the community, and threatening to nuke the domain if they don't jump on your bug reports fast enough?
Schema
I lost respect for you when you chose to do this. As a person.

"They don't owe any of us shit" - Shiro
"I never said they don't owe any of us anything." - Shiro
@daniel, yeah it was a fuckhead move threatening the domain, especially in response to a childish personal attack. And yup, I was hypocritical talking about responsibility after such a serious breach on my part. That being said, my point still stands. Luckily I have enough self-respect I don't need yours.
As to if I deserve to get my complaints taken seriously I guess we will see after I turn over the domain to Wata or Ero.

That was meant to be 'I never said they don't owe TFF anything,' and you know it from the cotext of everything said.
And also? This is where you go from being a dickbag to being the worst kind of person. 'Childish personal attack?' You were called out on holding the fucking domain hostage. Go fuck yourself. You don't get to try and pretend you were being reasonable all along. You threw a childish temper tantrum and threatened the entire board. Over a fucking half inch header with old news.
Congratulations, Schema. For the very first time, you've made me wish I had stayed admin of this board. Because I very firmly believe threatening the board is grounds for a perma, just like Yor1ck.
If I were you, once you've passed the domain over to wata and ero, I would quietly ask them if they would overlook an unlabeled sock puppet account. Because nobody is going to forget this, Schema.

...dude, he's been bringing it up in this thread for over a month, and he posted a thread in the Moderation section asking for attention on this like three weeks ago.
I mean, not to defend Schema's actions over the last three days or whatever, but I kind of don't blame him for getting exasperated, and I don't really feel like you should be pushing the blame for that onto him for not PMing you. Frankly speaking up until the threats I basically agreed with him.
I also feel like your request to discuss this civilly, while a step in the right direction, is a bit rich since after literal weeks of you not reading threads, after Schema made threats, and after he apologized and admitted that he was wrong to do so -- after all that your first response was a permaban.
I understand that you're busy with IRL and stuff, but frankly I feel even a perfunctory "sorry we let this slide" would have been the appropriate way to open a response.
