As far as I can tell, Martiño rarely comes here except to make big announcements.  Tucho is here a little more often, but still pretty rarely, and sometimes reads and posts on interesting topics.  I've seen Jose posting a couple times lately, and he's likely the one who updated the forum version.  Enveloop used to be on every once in a while, but I haven't seen him in months.  There are a couple other members of the Glest Team, but I don't think I've ever seen then on the forum.

This should have been asked/discussed like 3/4 of a year to a year ago...  ::)  :-\ (the distribution of the rights...)

Well done!  Now Omega can make his dream, the Off Topic board!

We should make a poll over which boards we should add...

Does this mean they can now add this? http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=936  ::)

I'd rather not...but we'll see...
Yep. Poll.
Also needed is an offtopic board so we can stop flooding the general discussion with so much chat!
Nah, I disagree. Having an off-topic board would be chaotic.... because...well you know why.  ::)  :P
I have experience, in other forums they had a off-topic section and people would just...  :-\

Hello Everyone. I indeed will be making polls. No OT board unless you guys request it.

Please vote on the following boards that were suggested to me:
-MegaGlest
-Contributions
-Offtopic (?)

Also, please vote on:
-Youtube BBCode

Anything else?

I won't try to add anything without inquiring if you guys want it first.

Don't worry Elim, I'm not going to go around looking over your shoulder and editing all your posts.

Two quotes to describe what comes with 'moderatorship', that I think I have:
"I'VE GOT THE POWAH!" and "...with great power.....comes great responsibility...".

Youtube BBCode INSTALLED! You're welcome.

Thanks for the Youtube BBCode, I'll test it later  :)
I don't think we really need an off topic board...
More space! Yes, thanks.
I think it's cool that Archmage is a moderator now, not perfect but...
For contributions, do you mean like media type stuff?
We should also have a separate board for Glest creations, like wallpapers and videos and such, which are not really mods.  And there should be another board for discussions of features we want in Glest, instead of clogging up GAE or Megaglest topics with it.

One other thing...I think we could make the forum look more decorated like...or Glest like-ish...
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/

Good thing I brought up this whole issue.  :)

I like the forum layout, just we need different colors, and a Glest logo at the top would be cool!

I liked the way that the original Glest looked before the fall of the GDLoS!  I couldn't describe how it looked, because I was only a member for a few days in this style, but I liked it.  Titi would probably remember better than me anyhow.

I agree.  We should have another board called Fan Art which would encompass all of that stuff which doesn't really fit into the 'Mods' board.

Other Boards I want

Off Topic
This is an oft-requested board.  It is for anything not necessarily Glest-related.

Blender
Finally!  Learning Blender is essential to a good mod, so it would be best to have another board for it.  This would un-clog Mods with all of those "quick question" topics.

MegaGlest
Because titi's creation is not really a mod, and not really part of GAE yet either.  Once the projects combine, so can the boards.

Features Wanted
There is no good place to put topics of this type either.  It is not really part of GAE or MegaGlest specifically, because those boards would be filled with stuff about bugs within those engines or new releases, etc.  Because this is related to MegaGlest, I would recommend that it would be a subset of the GAE and MegaGlest boards.  This board would have topics discussing specific features, how they work, and how they work.  Because they are a subset of the engine topics, I am hoping they would get more coder traffic (although they would inevitably find the topics anyways :)).

//EDIT: I also think that some higher positions than Battle Machine and Archmage would be cool.  I have no idea what you'd come up with, but there should be positions at 500 posts, 1000 posts, 1500 posts, 2000 posts, 2500, and so on (ad infinitum!).

If so I would put my Iron Grip on it and wipe out stupid topics, like: 'Post here to increase your post count'.
Don't worry though I would always ask first and only wipe out completely ridiculous/stupid topics. ;)

Yah, that would be good, for 3Ds Max people sorry it's not free so it doesn't get our support! :D

I'd rather MegaGlest and GAE not combine, but MegaGlest does need a new board.

Push Archmage to the top and put other crappy units below it. :D



With all this new stuff, us moderators would have a lot of topic moving, so that all those topics about Blender would be moved to the Blender board, and so on. :P

All right my friends. Let's answer some questions:
Firstly, you notice the new smilies. If you don't like them, I'll revert. More animation for now though!  8)

I'll make a new topic on the ANNOUNCEMENTS board for polls on what to do next (ie: what new boards?).

Firstly, I made Arch a moderator because I'll trust him to keep the boards tidy, since he is on perpetually forever. :P

The moderator's are supposedly a group of people that has power over individual boards. For unknown reasons, this group is empty and I can't seem to remove it. Global Moderator's are moderators for all the boards. Note that I may rename this to simply 'Moderator', though that's just a name. ;)

I think I will reorganize the ranks soon, so you may notice some changes there...
