Wall of text, didn't read.

Anyway, go ahead and leave. It really doesn't affect our community in one bit. You can go ahead and try and find another invision forum that does what we do.

And congrats on turning 18 and discussing your future endeavours. For a guy who loves pokemon and has an avatar of baby bowser, you sure are gonna get the chicks.

I think I'm going to use this topic as an opportunity to rant about how bad this site is.

The second part of that post is just a classic example of how poor a job the Administrators at this site do. Any Admin that's worth his weight in piss realizes that every member of a website is a vital part of the community. Just from looking over this forum for a day or two I can tell it's terrible. It appears that you actually have one Admin that just sits there bitching, one who just posts a lot, two who do a little work, and two who actually help out (Granted you are one of those two, you are having a bad moment here). Now, the first question is, how the fuck does this site merit having 6 Admins? That's absolutely absurd. I mean, the activity doesn't qualify it and half of the activity is SPAM anyways. That's just dumb. An Admin spot at any site should only be given to those who deserve and can be trusted with the highest praise and power a site can give. People like Andy and Nemesis don't deserve to be mentioned in a conversation about shit like that. And n ow we once again have an example of an Admin flaming members. Good job setting an example bro.

I must agree, this forum is unique. It's a pretty big trash dump, and I haven't seen many sites pull that off. As for good General Invision boards, there are plenty that have more to offer than this site.

Oh, but don't get me wrong. The guy who made this topic is a tool. That doesn't, though, make this forum any less terrible. Just thought I'd Point that out.

Oh, but I suppose no one is going to read this. It's a wall of text.

And it makes you look liek a complete asshole whining about forums. No one cares if this forum has 2 admins or 10 admins. Honestly, that itself doesn't merit if a forum is good or not. And no, this is not a trash bin forum. Looking around, this by far is the best forum when it comes to videogames discussion on any invision forum and considering that our sports forum is quite big and most of our spam is in attention seekers.

Ya, go to your invision forums that basically get 50% of their daily posts in "games" and in anime.

This is just further proof of your complete ignorance. Take a second and think about it; If I have no reason not to like the board (Hell, You’re even an affiliate of a board I administrate) why would I just say these things if they weren’t true? I have no reason to lie to you, and even though you'll never really appreciate it, I'm just trying to give you kids a piece of advice.

I'm going to star by saying I don't care if i look like an asshole. Furthermore, i can slightly agree that the number of Admins on a site doesn't matter. It's simply the fact that at least two of these admins happen to be the worst I've ever seen, and another two don't really do as much. An your video game discussion isn't really all that great, being honest. The Board is run poorly, quite simply.

I'd also advise that you don't make comments on the board I am from, considering you don't know where I'm from. And if you do, that just makes your comment even more foolish.

@sesshomaru, The solution to a problem is not to set a bad example by flaming a member. I still think he's the most qualified Admin on here, But from personal experience i know that when new members see staff flaming, they are turned off. Which is why people like Andy suck so bad.

The fact that this is on attention seekers makes this great.

I'm not here to judge any of the members here but I think if you don't like SBS and don't appreciate the members then you should leave. The whole forum's slogan is to "Relax.Chill.Hangout" and that's why a lot of the members here are laid back.

I'm content with the admins on the board but I do agree some cleaning can be done. But once you start marking messages then people get angry and complain. We haven't had one complaint about our board since you've came. But it's always nice to hear criticism since the admins can do something about it.

I do hope you realize I'm not really "Attention Seeking". I'm really trying just to give constructive criticism, I just don't feel the need to sugar coat it.

EDIT: I could not join, Or I could join up and give my opinion. Yeah, I think I'll do that. Thanks for the input though =]

I do understand where your coming from Tidus. Why are there admins on this forum who don't seem to act like admins at all? I gave admins to the following users because I feel that I can trust any of them to run this forum if I decided to leave. I can count on Nemesis and Xecutioner to manage the design of this board and do updates to improve the layout. I can rely on Nintendrone and Wave for recruitment and to take charge in my absense. Nintendrone is responsible for a lot of the active users on this board. I picked Andy for the reason of someone depicting authority on this board. That's why I clearly don't want users being mistreated here unless they are looking for a fight. As for Matt47, he is still a temporary admin and he doesn't get full privelages as an admin. He's quite the asset to the forum though.

But I see your other point; about the mess on these boards. It primarily has to do with the reason that it's hard for a lot of the older users to have free time on this board. As an admin when making this board a few years ago, I had the luxury and free time and recruiting, designing and administrating this board. But a lot of the users are now in post secondary and I still thank them for taking time out of their schedule to post here. It's hard to find dedicated active users who are mature on what they do. Luckily there's a lot of members on here that will be getting promotions in the near future since they are clearly members that I can trust.

I just feel that any Admin that acts like This. Does much more harm than good. I was honestly disgusted seeing that.

You shouldn't be worrying about what happens when you demote until that happens, to be honest. 6 Admins look tacky, I'm not gonna lie. I'm from a board with over 150k posts, but we only have 4 total staff members at this time. 2 Admins.

You should do things such as removing post count increase in forums like this to help promote activity in other sections.

I agree with Shaheer. Really, there's no reason to join a board you hate just to complain about it.

Remove post count when you post here? That's retarded.

Too bad he didn't once say anything to that extent in his post. Did you fucking read it, or are you just brownnosing?

EDIT: Here, being the Attention Seeking Forum. No great discussion here.

Normally I would probably ignore you but I simply cannot and I'll try to keep this in a manor were I won't bitch you out since I have other things to do.

I like your reading your posts. Why? Because they're mad funny.

You know this forum is a mess correct? Then why not do something about it? You get worked up because some member gives you some criticism about the site. Hmmm I'm sorry but that's one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. Did Tidus ever state you needed to create strict rules? No. But putting your foot down on somethings can be a start and it wouldn't be strict. Ban some one for double posting? Stupidest shit I have ever read. It's called either A. Delete the post and send the member a PM warning them or B. Post after their double post and state not to double post. It's not that hard to do and it's not gonna make you look like a strict admin.

Successful site? True. But that can mean different things. One is the successful that you have. I don't know how active this site is as todays post is barely above the 200 mark. But I have heard a lot of the posts aren't quality posts or as some like to call it spam. But as well if you got active members which you do then it's a healthy community. But there is also another kind of successful site. I'd give you an example of a site but I don't join many so maybe Tidus can point one out. But to the point and that is another mean of successful site is that a site has healthy discussions that have good meaning, members have a fun time and the moderating team means something.

These are only a few helpful tips and if you feel the need to shit on my post then bring it on.

Now I just notice Tidus new post and I know the site he relates to and he's completely right. That site has 4 staff members and is a very active site. Plus the staff team communicates well with the members and don't get into flame wars.

6 admins is wayyyy to much. As I mentioned before I don't know exactly how much this place averages for posts a day. But as I look at todays total posts which is just barely above 200. There is no room for 6. I think the most this site should have is 3.

Out of all of the users who posted, SSJMAT's post makes the most sense. QQ More. Obviously there's that one user who doesn't like the layout, doesn't like the staff, and/or, doesn't like the forum boards. But the fact of the matter is that even though you may not like the forum, there's still a ton of users who do.

Now I just notice Tidus new post and I know the site he relates to and he's completely right. That site has 4 staff members and is a very active site. Plus the staff team communicates well with the members and don't get into flame wars.


And read Shaheer's post. We have a life and 4 admins wouldn't cut it to spend time with the users on this board. The demographic on our forum is primarily in high school and post secondary and it's harder for every admin to be active every day and it's certainly harder to find dedicated users to replace those admins.

Yes, it's a fault but we've been fine so far with it.
