No reason to quote equanimity's post.. but I agree with most all of it. Zoklets rules were generally followed and without much need for concern by the posting community. HB should be what it always was.. Retarded thread in BLTC seems normal, because I always remember there being one there.. People are going to complain no matter what, and they should have the free speech to do so.. I may not always agree, but it is a personal freedom that shouldn't be oppressed. Sure, their are going to be members who spam their way to excessive amounts of posts, with the fair majority being nonsense.. I honestly don't care, as long as those types of posts stay in a designated area and outside of intelligent conversation elsewhere.. We all have to vent our sporadic idiocy from time to time, even me. I do think there should be limitations on mass creating new threads with no content so as to flood the popular topics.. All in all sounds pretty good. I do think it would be cool if their was a referral system in place though.. Allow some novelty badge somewhere next to ones avatar for each rank up in referring however many people. Thanks systems can be abused, rep systems can be abused (especially in a community as small as this is right now).. I also think that accounts with less than 10 posts and have been inactive for over a month should be deleted.. That way your ridding yourself of potential alts or of any accounts created to try and abuse a possible referral system..

 My 2 cents for now..
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

What is the purpose of posting this stuff here?  Are you guys trying to make us feel as if we are 'participating' in something?  Just tell arnox to hurry up with whatever he is going to decide for us, and dispense with the happy horseshit reacharound.  I would tell him myself, but he doesn't seem to feel like interacting with me for some reason.

Don't be so negative, cats.  Arnox listens to all of our suggestions, and keeps them in mind when making his big decisions.

I would really like for you guys to participate. You have the right to opt out.

participate in what, the private discussion where you guys decide the future of this place?  Arnox going into seclusion, and you guys taking it upon yourselves to intermediate between users and staff, with no official sanction to do so, is not conducive to any sort of 'participation' in anything except speculating what train-wreck decisions are coming down the pike.

Don't be so dense. Participate in discussion regarding the site's well-being and future.

What kind of official sanction would you like us to produce?

none, but it seems to me that you guys are doing this on your own, as opposed to being told by arnox 'please tell them blah blah whatever'.

I have said my piece, and got no answer.

Arnox instills a certain level of trust within us.  That's why we're here - to help out when he's not here and so he doesn't have to be here all the time.

What do you still need an answer to?

first of all, I asked how we could resolve this whole thing, and got silence. 

I asked why people got banned for posting in hb

I asked if arnox was undermining and insulting his staff (I actually got a response to that one but it was a snide comment in the vein of FTFY)

I asked a lot of stuff, don't feel like going through and finding each one

I mean, realistically, I don't expect him to be at my beck and call to answer all my questions, but please don't insult my intelligence by telling me that I am 'participating' in anything around here.

VB is ready when Arnox is ready, but he has some infrastructure established here.

The silence is gone.

That's a broad question and I'm not sure what you're talking about.  Check the banlist.

I only speak for myself, but I do not feel undermined or insulted.  I got a little hot from the off topic thread, but I'm cool now.

Then don't look for an answer if you can't give a specific question.

Your participation is up to you.  I'm not sure why anyone would hang around a place where they feel they are unable to participate.

It's a big question, and we're here asking you the very same thing.  Let's find workable solutions together imo.

I asked why people got banned for posting in hb

My take:

They had different rules for HB on totse2.  Don't think the other mods realized that Zoklet BC was like original totse HB.  Likewise, the staff had no idea everyone was expecting HB to have basically no rules.

Classic misunderstanding.

I asked if arnox was undermining and insulting his staff (I actually got a response to that one but it was a snide comment in the vein of FTFY)

Arnox... he beats me :(

We're all listening, and sincerely are considering what you have to say.  I never posted in the retarded thread, but brought it up with everyone regardless because it was obviously causing a little distress.
