MS Update MS Update March 30th, 2005

GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD!!!!

This is the most original update yet. All love my unique style. The graphics are awesome. It took me hours to create this masterpiece.



MODERATORS


LAJ FETT returned from Prague with some Star Wars collectibles. And there was much rejoicing.

LadyPadme's computer has been acting less than fresh. So her online time recently has been "spotty." *cue dramatic music*

DatanaSkywalker took a week off for meditation. Then came back yesterday!

Vaderize03 and Surlygirlie are still on vacation. Not together of course. Unless there's something we don't know...

Sister Sola was away from her comp on Good Friday. Then the next day she....wait for it.....wait for it..... RETURNED!

TwiLekJedi was apparently forced into playing the CT Trivia contest. If he misses a question, he gets banned.

Jedi Humaira Blaine has decided to step down as Manager of the WNU forum. We are currently discussing her replacement. Though we all know it's impossible. So all new users are doomed.



DISCUSSIONS

Problem Users were discussed. Then we promptly had them executed. With the exception of the ones that greased our palms.

We further discussed the Literature Forum Contest ideas.

Some swear words were discussed like *** and ******!

Zerosleep apologized for messing with our Mod powers last week and then gave us new powers that we will torture you all with. On a side note, I believe I look better in black and neon green than he does.

We discussed/blamed Famous Amos for all our recent troubles. It wasn't really a discussion but more of a beat down.




ANNOUNCEMENTS

We're still moving! Just don't know when exactly. But we're accepting donations on gas money for the U-Hauls. Just send the cash to me.

We were reminded of Daylight Savings Time this coming weekend! Europe has already set their clocks 1 hour ahead and our boards will do the same (I hope) next Sunday.

The Fanfiction Focus Group has begun and the first topic is already being discussed.

In other news, after much discussion and delay, the Prequel Trilogy Forum is finally opening on April 2nd!!! The forum moderators are Darth-Stryphe, Mace Windy and Strilo. New threads will be discontinued in TPM and AOTC on April 9th. More details will be made available once the new forum opens!"

A Reminder on Spoilers. Do not post ROTS dialogue or link to sites with ROTS spoilers on them in your signatures. Innocent people are seeing and clicking who do not wish to be spoiled. On that note...


...REVENGE OF THE SITH Novels, Visual Dictionaries, Art of ROTS, childrens books, stickers, and alot of other spoilerish stuff come out at the end of the week and at the start of next week. 3SA is the only forum designated for discussion of such sources with the exception of specially designated "spoilers allowed" threads in the lit forum or wherever they so appear outside 3SA. You post any spoilers outside of 3sa or those special threads and you shall be banned. BANNED!!!!!!!!!

Finally, with all that in mind...

LFL has expressed "concern" regarding the moderation of copyrighted material in the Spoiler forum. If the situation does not improve then LFL has threatened that further steps may need to be taken. The 3SA mods and administration are looking at possible solutions to the problem.

 

Nice update.

Speed up the move so that when they do come down, they find a cleared-out residence?

 

Wow, this update was beautiful, Ian. I love your use of the bold feature.

 

Vaderize03 and Surlygirlie are still on vacation. Not together of course. Unless there's something we don't know...

although for the life of me I cant seem to interject something about british politics and costumes in this thread.

can someone help me out here?

What does british politics have to do with Vaderize? He's from Pennsylvania, which last I checked, was in the US, not the UK.



Kimball Kinnison

 

sorry about that, I was thinking politics and costumes.

and I thought they go together.



Its cross dressing british politicians.

not pennsylvanian dutchman

My bad.

 

Look! Leaked ModSquad pic of said same enjoying the spoils!![image=http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/04/0223/m/1a.jpg]

See, some of us knew that 'greasing the palms' works better when it melts in your mouth, not in your hand!

Regarding that, (which I can't wait for) what wil be the spoiler policy in the PT forum, is there is any planned at all?

 

Nice update!

It is sad to see Jedi_Humaira_Blaine go.

darth_nemisis

 

Very funny. SO, will we still be able to put new threads in 3SA?

 

How is that even related, really? Stopping people from posting new threads in 3SA will not stop people from replying with copyrighted material.

 

The "move thread" feature better be utilized for all the classic threads in the new PT forum.

 

egarding that, (which I can't wait for) what wil be the spoiler policy in the PT forum, is there is any planned at all?

Yes the PT forum will adhere to the JC spoiler policy to the letter, except for one specific Spoilers Allowed thread.

 

We further discussed the Literature Forum Contest ideas.

Is the public going to hear about these before implementation, or just the MS?

 

Aw, Jedi Humaira Blaine's leaving? That sucks...

You are making me nervous with all the 'we have no idea when we're moving' jazz. Maybe we'll log in one day and the JC will be gone! *runs out, screaming in terror*

 

"Yes the PT forum will adhere to the JC spoiler policy to the letter, except for one specific Spoilers Allowed thread."

Wouldn't the place to discuss the PT with regards to spoilers be in 3SA?

 

The new PT forum sounds awesome!

And I'm sorry to hear Jedi Humaira Blaine is stepping down.

Tis true We'll miss you Pash!

 

Very informative update.

So I guess this means Pash has the honor of being 2003's first ex-mod?

 

Wouldn't the place to discuss the PT with regards to spoilers be in 3SA?

Spoiler threads that are clearly marked are at the discretion of forum mods. We decided to allow one thread to steer all possible spoiler discussion to. Really it's not that big an issue as the film is out soon anyway. Spoilers outside that thread will be dealt with swiftly and harshly.

 

Spoilers outside that thread will be dealt with swiftly and harshly.

Much appreciated already .

 

Tim will strike down with great vengeance and furrrrrrrrrrious anger, those who would attempt to spoil my brothers. And you will know his name is the MOD, when he lays his banstick upon thee...

 

Thanks for the update.

So sorry to see Pash go! :'(

Who do LFL think they are ? The mods here to a tough job of addressing the copyrighted material in a timely manner - you can't blame them if nutters constantly post links to stuff!

 

Well, things are getting crazy at the moment, with LFL. People really have no idea what we're going through, right now.
