Conversation Between Ryan and Deflorate.

  1. Will keep you updated, no problem.

    Also, mind giving me a link to your main tumblr?

    Last time I was there I loved everything about it, but forgot to follow.

    Now I can't find it again...
  2. I don't know if I would say that we're on their good side...I'm pretty sure they still think of us as the annoying children from three years ago.

    But hey, if you can get some conversation going with people who are interested, we can see where it goes. Keep me updated.
  3. I'm a loudmouth rager, who speaks before thinking.

    I've said numerous things about the site, and other people/staff that were completely true that needed to be said, and I've gotten banned for it numerous times.

    I would so love to get it started, but I just don't feel as if it's possible for me to be of any help. Although I guess it's worth a shot.
  4. I would, but the admins don't like me. I think it would be more beneficial for someone on their good side asked or pleaded for the change.

    Not to seem lazy or anything, but it's honestly true. Dave and Arun have always disliked me to a certain extent.
  5. Whether it's right or wrong, that's what they do. Dave and Arun make money from traffic and hacks. Mainly traffic. That's just what they're interested in.

    I critique where I feel that I have something of value to contribute. The number of those threads fluctuates.
    Honestly, it seems like you should be the one to go to Dave. As long as you have a plan and people willing to contribute, he'll consider your idea. You don't even have to be leading the team. You would just be presenting the case. Myself and the other veterans could care enough to support an idea for the most part (after seeing it of course). We all have a weird attraction to that section. But I think you're the one who cares enough to actually get it going. Especially after the roller coaster the section has been for us the past few years. We had our turn to head the movement.
  6. I definitely know that Doc has been interested in the position for awhile now, and I think he'd be perfect for the section again.

    And I think that if we had brought back some sort of SOTW, or any competition really we'd get a lot more activity. So at the moment I don't think it's right to be judging the idea off of the section's activity at this point. Obviously there's not much going on, or much to look at in the section, because people have no motivation to head in there.

    I also critique anything I can, and actively browse the section as well as a few others (presuming that you're active in the section too.)

    Anyways, I'll reach out to Doc and Jimmy, maybe a couple others about the idea and ask them to get in touch with Dave if they're interested.

    Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
  7. I have no idea. The admins have an understandable expectation of the section facilitating activity in order to allow a mod-type member or special group. They also expect the GFX team to actually do something (again, rightfully so) such as host SOTW, market the section, post constant critique and resources, etc.
    While there was a lot of drama at several points in the past, some of our biggest issues came from simply not having enough time to keep things going.

    It's always worth some kind of appeal though. I'm sure if you and/or other people had ideas on how to reform the way the section works, the admins would at least listen and consider.
  8. You think it would be possible to maybe start up a GFX moderator/team again?

    I think Doc would would be interested in that position again, and it's irritating to see people shitposting and not giving real critique.

    Although I doubt Dave/Liz would think it's active enough for any moderation.
  9. Deflorate, Problems, Snuggles.

    From most recent to oldest.
  10. What was your old name?
  11. You're fine. Doesn't bother me.
  12. By the way, sorry for not contacting you first about using the same image in my sig.

    I liked it so much, if you'd like me to stop using it I'd understand.
