I'm getting sick of not seeing anything getting done around here. It seems that the only 2 admins we have don't have the motivation to get this place started up again. :/ Ryan is a bit busy with all of his other projects at the moment and doesn't seem to have much interest in helping out with the revival, and Invincible who holds all the power is only around ever so often, and hardly posts these days and Nacho is busy moving. Listen guys, Me, Teim, Gradd and Alex can't do this on our own. We're going to need someone with actual power to do things. So we HAVE to figure out something, we can't just let this place die into oblivion, this is a nice escape from FFCC with a different atmosphere and it has potential to blossom, We can get this place to grow, but without a proper admin that is active, we can't do shit.

We might end up having to look for hosting elsewhere.

Yeah, as it's looking I don't really know if Invincible or Nacho will be willing to pay to keep this place running much more, that's up to them. But if that's how it has to be then so be it. That just means we can start over and go from the very beginning, though we will need someone to pay for the domain for us. :/

Personally I think Ryan can be excused. He's busy enough with his other projects and really, it's not his job to get this place started, his job is really more a supportive, hack-like stance.

I suppose the best bet is a new co staff, a clean forum, and lastly, something we can play on the name with. Common, the glass prison? Could a name be cooler then that?

It's like super awesome. We could have a music review section, only we call them files, and they're like the files of the mentally disrupted patients, which are the members. Or something. Think Something Awful, the site name is something awful. Our site name is something mentally disturbed. That's way cooler, like Batman's joker, the Tim Burton rendition with Jack Nickolson, now that's talking. We can play on that.

But yeah, having the lack of an admin is a main problem.

I'm extremely confused about what kind of place this is but I found the link via FFCC and was compelled to reply to this thread (being it was on the homepage and rather eye catching).

I'm not sure what's going on because the replies appear to be a bit confusing (forgive my newbness) so anybody willing to fill me in and I can see if there's anywhere I can help out?

I'm not Admin material at the moment and I may be go for a month plus over summer. There is much adventurering that must be done before I grow grey and old!

As for this site: it's where all the cool cats hang. You know, like this is the Top Cat's ally of the internet.

Long ass story. Pretty much we used to be an active community, where all the original FFCC members hung out until they decided to remake FFCC which is where we're all originally from anyway but it ended up dying so one of the forums made this forum, and it was the FFCC alternative for years, until it was took over by an evil dictator, then Invincible rebuilt this forum, where everyone from the original FFCC hung out again, until they got sick of all the drama here and rebuilt FFCC, which is where your at now, and TGP was left to die, now some of us have problems with the staff over at FFCC so we need a more laid-back alternative, so we're trying to get this place restarted, but without an admin we're having trouble rebuilding it.

Edit:

Fuck, Matt, what are we gonna do without you then?:( We really need to get this place fixed in a hurry, too.

I personally think Justin's done a rather good job at hitting this site with his honesty and opinions, and I think he'd make a good admin at this stage.

Fionn and Peter, who are not moderators but very active members, both appear to do what they can to get this site back and kicking, and if I was to vote, I'd vote for them too.
It's a really hard choice, in that sense, and you can always take a backup of the site if you're afraid people will wreck it more then it already is. :shrug:

You know, I would say throw adminships out to me, Teim and Fionn and let us just wing it from there, but I'm not entirely sure what kind of clusterfuck that'd end up as, unless we can all do things in an orderly manner, of course, then we could figure out who does the best admining job, and demote the sucky one, or ones down to Mods, unless we all three do a damn good job, then we can all be an admin team, though. I dunno, just thoughts.

I see, well I saw that hosting was an issue and if so I can help out if needed (just bought a new webserver that's practically empty). I can also assist with the technical/backend portion also as vBulletin and server administration are 2nd hand to me (I just retired from admining and operating one of my sites and am currently focusing on another project site once I free up my vB license so I'm able to lend a technical hand if needed). ;)

Hm, I'm not entirely sure if hosting is an issue, I heard something about our host being good til sometime in 2009. Cause of some massive payment from Invincible and Nacho.

Also, Teim might make a good admin, after thinking about it for a bit, it's worth a shot.

Ok, just throwing it out there. I wish you all lots of luck though, I know first hand how hard it is to revive a site after it has a fallout. ;)
