The Sanctuary

This forum reminds me of those times when Zoklet would slow down, right when school was back in. There's really only about 100 active user's here, and who knows how many are alts. There's probably like 25-30 people that post here...
-
The kidiots killed all the discussion platforms. That's why &Temple of the Screaming Electron warned of it more than a decade and a half ago.
-
Time wasn't built in a day. Even though sanctuary has gained alot of zoklets we still need to get more people to join.

Yet as new as this site is, the activity levels are STILL higher than what Zoklet had for the last year or two it was around. Funny I never saw you bitching about those numbers when you were so cozy under Zok's thumb, but now its a problem?

^ plus this actually feels like a community
-
I want to expand out and get more members in but...
We've got a skeleton staff right now and no one really looks optimal to join, hate to say it. It's just fine the way it is but I fear if we get too many members, we won't be able to keep up.

Yah most of us would make shit moderators. hopefully you find more soon though

What qualities, as a minimum, do you seek in your staff that no user here currently possesses?

You gotta be able to stick your entire head up his ass.
-

... make sure you're active, professional, literate, and at least somewhat courteous. It also helps to inject a little bit of style into your posts, you know, so I know you're not some weird robot.
A lot of people fail on just the first part. Being active. I already have an inactive member of staff. I don't need another.

Actually, the main reason at this point is you have no way to be able to tell who you can trust and who you cannot.
-
"professional, literate, and at least somewhat courteous"
No one here even meets one of these criteria.

Yes but honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Even if I did later find out I made the wrong decision, I have no problem kicking them back down as I said. I'd just rather not waste my time.

1) change layout to totse or zoklet colors
2) allow non-nude loli/jailbait like zoklet and totse used to
3) everyone needs to start flaming the kidiot shitposters
-
Frankly I'm not surprised, there's a bit of a split in the community as lots of people quit for good after &z, plus the fragyard fracture. Many of the forums here are pretty quiet as there's been mostly horseshit drama going around lately. But, time may tell a different story. There's always going to be quiet days, the only way to change that is post anyway.

Arnox, how would you define "professional" on a forum full of rejects?

4) we need a thanks button
5) let the funny users have an alt account with a funny personality

That's a very... errr.... interesting... comment, in light of recent.. errr.. events. Care to reveal your original nick?
-

Everyone keeps asking for that but nobody wants to make it.
-
The quality of my posts have dropped substantially because this place has no integrity or incentive to post anything useful. It's still better than zoklet but it's still of poor quality and most people here are weirdos. I think you've done most things well Arnox except doing an incredibly piss poor job of keeping out the CP but that's something you probably didn't think you were signing up for.
The solution is to foster information, no matter what it is and don't be a faggot "internet rules" nazi who needs their tiny ego satiated through a website which doesn't appeal to be your MO.
Just make smart people post smart things and keep the discussion going when it happens organically. It probably won't happen at any great rate and this place will die out before my house arrest is up next year so that'll be mildly annoying but whatever

No, you don't, but you've indicated the site isn't going to grow until you have more staff to manage increased traffic. Are you prepared to take the initial risk on staff in order to expand the userbase? Do you agree that the alternative, i.e. doing nothing, is stagnation and eventual deterioration of the userbase?

All you dogs, lined up, drooling, and wagging your tails at the thought of 'new moderators being made'.

Someone who is always calm and fair.
I get the "fair" part....but you really lost me on the whole "calm" description. Especially when in the same paragraph you say you want people with a little bit of style to their posting. Oftentimes "calm" people are also quite lifeless, with little flair or passion for anything. And considering this is an adult BBS discussing all kinds of edgy topics, its not like you need some stoic image as if they were a receptionist at a major corporate company. If you really need a "calm" person as a candidate, chances are they are not very passionate about much either...and possibly don't even have the fortitude to kick ass and take names when it matters.
"Fair and balanced" is a decent and obtainable aspect to be searching for, but not many passive/calm people make the greatest of leaders or mentors....ESPECIALLY in a community made up of so many differing, eclectic and I dare say insane personalities in a place like this. Who could put a decent enough leash on this place without the community losing its image or edginess ? Mary Poppins or Mike Ditka?

What arnox is saying is, he wants someone just like him. Neutral to the point of complacency, polite to the point of blandness, and with an ability to ruminate over a problem until it simply goes away.

I did bitch occasionally about it on Zoklet.
-
I don't know why everyone wants to be a moderator so bad around here. Do you all realize the responsibility it entails?

Calm as in almost impossible to provoke.

A college degree with a 3.5 GPA or higher.
A clean criminal background check.
Good/Fair credit.
A clean urinalysis.

A $250 deposit.

I was a mod of Totse's most flame-ridden forum 'till the TTFN. I was a mod of Zoklet, before stepping down and leaving several years ago in the knowledge that the site's fate was sealed due to chronic mismanagement. My conduct in those roles, with regards to interacting with users as a member of staff, was beyond reproach. The idea that I have a burning desire to relive some kind of past glory by becoming a mod on this site is a joke. I'm not interested.
I ask these questions of Arnox because his answers will dictate how long this site can be expected to survive as an active forum.

I didn't specifically mean you, yours was just the last post referencing this subject in the thread, so I used the quote as an 'anchor' for my post.

I remember I made a thread "People who eye me suspiciously while walking through upscale neighborhoods" and the OP was "should fucking die" and we flamed each other for a while until I posted a pic that was supposed to be you but basically looked like a skinnier version of jeffhunter.jpg.
You make some decent posts now despite being old and british. I think I'm gonna make a thread about the time that I saw a ghost
-
I'd make a great mod. I was asked almost a dozen times on zoklet but denied because zok is a jew enabler
-
I'd make a terrible mod here, because I'd offensively and immediately permaban all the known kidiots, private information abusers, power abusers and other assorted wastes of good webspace, then I'd have fun banning all their alts as they appeared. I don't care at all about numbers like Arnox does.
-
Good rule of thumb - if they came from Zoklet (myself included) under no circumstances should you give them a moderating or admin position. That's about as fair, unbiased and direct as I can get about the whole thing.
-
I think of bunghole shows up (very unlikely) he should be made mod of all things science related

Oh yes, I forgot to answer that last part of your question. Yes, I realize all that. Which is why I'm probably going to start expanding out anyway.

Double, triple and quadruple posting is art and you should appreciate it you ungrateful, simple minded cretin.
I'm wasting my time here, really. It's terrible.

I disagree. If the traffic we receive is due to support for dumb ass posts like 'whats your iq' then this place is only going to go further downhill.

Once I move to my new place Ill try to get some peeps to join.

Honestly, just because it doesn't have 5 billion users posting all the time doesn't mean it's dead. :P

I like this place :)
Some people should try to make better posts though. Myself included.

Someone should carve the name of this site into their chest and do a mass shooting.

Their, not there.
I think this^ Is the problem. A majority of kids(that are most likely on drugs). Better, more knowledgeable posters, are moving on. I noticed that when a shit load of kids began signing up on Zoklet, the forum went to shit. Smaller and private is probably better.

Yes, ban everyone under the age of 25. I agree.
Bye Arnox, you kidiot bitch.

"professional, literate, and at least somewhat courteous"
No one here even meets one of these criteria.
Some of us do, as far as active I just haven't seen much to speak on. So I'll be around lurking, reading and waiting. I hope this place does grow to be somewhat like the past forums. But we need to find a balance between letting people express and share idea and the point where it becomes just racial slurs and dick pix.
