bac posted:Also, you can’t do that without other mods signing onto it, and other mods can sometimes be hard to convince if they have no interest.
bac posted:I used to be an idealist about this to, truth be told. Then I became the Fan Sites moderator and realized that people just don’t care.
Trika_Kenobi posted: First, you sure have an answer for everything. Since you've deftly sliced through my post and answered everything with an approving or dissenting vote, I suppose that's that for suggestions.
Trika_Kenobi posted: Second, please don't go to the extreme of everything and act like I want you to post full PM discussions or spam the hell out of people's sites. I mean... really? I do have common sense.
darth_nemesis posted:Then perhaps those people shouldn't be mods? I mean, it is part of their job description to do what's best for the boards, no? This board is a part of the forum at large, and if they don't want to talk about Fan Sites or help this board out because they "have no interest", then they should not have that position.
darth_nemesis posted:Now, don't take what I am about to say in a way that makes you upset, but I am just stating what I seen over the past year since you've been mod: it seems to me that you did not try too hard after becoming a mod. Correct me if I am wrong, but there were periods of weeks and months where you did not post anything in this forum. I distinctly remember asking for a new mod because of that reason. Now, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, so, like I said, correct me if I am wrong.

Would it be possible for you to mention what possible mergers there could be for this board and what information would be salvaged? Where exactly would all this stuff end up if the board closed?
darth_nemisis posted:I think I also mentioned to bac (maybe DV back in the day) about trying to integrate a little bit with theforce.net's main page a little. Perhaps see if they could reserve a section on their site for us. It wouldn't be too much to ask, and definitely wouldn't hurt to ask.

MSU/ATB posted:The Mod Squad has reached a decision regarding the future of the Fan Sites forum. The Fan Sites forum as we know it will be closed and archived. However, in its place, a new form will be created with a slightly different focus. The new forum will still include discussion on all aspects of web design, but it will also include graphic design and other relevant topics. This forum will not be an advertisement board or a place to show off websites, but rather a place for users to seek help and feedback on their design, or discuss the technical aspects of their design. The board will be home to tutorials and help threads for website design and graphic design, as well as the creation of JC banners and icons. JC banner and icons discussion, however, will remain in their respective Comms threads.
