I actually forgot you said that, I wasn't pigy backing, lol.
 
Oh and as for the op, the things that annoyed me have already (for the time being) been fixed so idc anymore. The new skin's okay but I don't use it. A few things need fixing on it like using the new rep dots, but otherwise it's tolerable. Hopefully whatever fate the forum list ends up won't be an amalgamation of fail and horrible design.

Dude, stay or leave. Don't come in to the forum after not being here for so long, leaving Miros to run this solo and then just show up. Make up your fucking mind, i know there are others who agree with me on this.

You and others don't know the things that go on behind closed doors. As much work as Miros puts in to the site, it is hardly a solo job.

Kelyon said:
Also, when you change something and the community does not like it, how about you listen to them. This isn't Shinra Corp. basically telling members to fuck off isn't the best way to get a point made, or build community trust

Making threads like this just discourages him to post out in the open. To be quite honest, i don't blame him a bit. This is an incredibly disappointing thing to see, and makes you look like a baby. Telling Reeve to fuck off in a thread is almost exactly the same as what he is doing, apparently. I've never once seen any sort of incident in him telling anyone anything even close to fuck off.

Kelyon said:
Then the bullshit about the blogs. Honestly, there is a section in Fan Arts iirc for Blogs that people post. QCDN's blog support is shit, also it isnt the point of the site so keeping the stat bar at the top and only moving it when we decided to read more blogs is fucking retarded.

No, there isn't a section in Fan Works for blogs that people post. QCDN's blog support is hardly shit. In fact it is better than many of the other options (My horrendous time at Live Journal made me see this).


Kelyon said:
IMO, make Miros the owner of the site. He has done more for the site than you or lolNox ever did. All you did was come back, fuck up the skin and then just wave your admin dick of power in front of anyone.

Just, wow.
 
What is this showing someones signature on every post they have on one page nonsense!!!! Ohhhh the clutter D:
 
Give him a break. If you don't like something, suggest changes to be made. This isn't a dictatorship.
 
Let it be stated that I will contribute money toward the transfer and upkeep of this site to someone more appropriate for the ownership, if one steps forward. I'm honestly eyeballing Miros and Rappa here, but I'm not sure they'd even want to.
 
Reeve said:
Why is it that every time a change is made, Kelyon has to whine about it? If you whine like a two year old and throw tantrums, thats how the world will treat you.

For the few people who respectfully asked why these changes were made, I responded in kind if briefly.

Here, I cleaned that up for some clarity, in case anyone doesn't know what Reeve's talking about.

I disagree -- Reeve could change the site's theme to Pink Ponies for all he could care, and tell everyone else to fuck off if they didn't like it. He pays for the site, he gets the say in its upkeep. I think it's phenomenal that he places the trust he does in the other global modmin team to do the job they do.

Let it be stated that Reeve would have to accept your offer, and this isn't a Corporation. You don't hostile takeover a privately-owned forum.
 
And to all the people who said "wah wah switch to nightshift" It wont always be an option thanks to lolReeve
Reeve said:
Be advised that some forum functionality may not work with nightshift and there are no plans in place to correct that.

No, it won't be an option eventually. That's why it's called 'change'. It's no different than not being able to get warranty service for your 1993 Honda Civic at a dealership.

And thats why, Sculli, the previous owner was a retard. Hay, lets hand over the ownership to someone no one likes and someone who doesn't really care about FFXI.
 
This is all just a matter of Reeve acting in his own interests and not the interests of the community. That's the reason there is a problem, and the reason there tend to be problems when he starts meddling with things.

This is a person who has no interest in this community (but lots of interest in his own, as seen by the numerous attempts to cram his other forum down everyone's throats), and quite honestly, should never have been offered this site to begin with. To be completely honest, Reeve is Sculli's final curse upon all of us.

There's also this obsession with Reeve and/or Nox wanting to make a style for QCDN, but completely lacking the design skills necessary to make a user friendly, smooth flowing website. And again, the users will not be offered a choice regarding this change. Even though, for now, the site is usable, he's announced his intent to add features with absolutely no compatibility to the superior theme.

Hopefully one of the other moderators who care about this community will step up to fix this if it happens (I have a feeling at least one, if not more of them will be willing to, and I salute them for that.)

Again, I have to ask Reeve: Why are you here?
The only answer I can think of is "profit", nothing else makes sense. Please answer this question, so at the very least we can understand your motivation for keeping this site to yourself, especially if you will not let it go to someone more capable.

Personally, I found Sculli's leadership distasteful because of his lack of a solid Code of Conduct, while attempting to maintain a G-rated environment.

To be sure, this is a problem that still is vestigial today, and part of the root of why people get pissy when they receive infractions based on certain things.

However, I have a solution for you form-and-functionality sabre-rattlers! The end-all answer to your forum-theme woes.

Ladies, gentlemen, and pisser/moaners of all ages, feel free to download Lynx. I guarantee, all of your issues with forum themes, advertisements, and colorful image banners will cease and desist the moment you fire it up. Get QCDN the way *you* feel it was intended! Raw, unadulterated forum goodness, straight to your CLI.
 
Addendum to the previous post: my last little bit wasn't aimed at Tyrath, seeing as he hasn't BAWWed all over the new theme (at least, in this thread).
 
Does Reeve pay to keep the site up or does he get paid?

I make some money off the ads and it all goes towards the server and the other charges related to running the site. Net/net I am in the negative and put in the difference out of my own pocket.

To answer the other aspect of this question -- this is a hobby for me. There are easier ways of making money than this.

You'll find that I am pretty inactive on my other sites too. Sorry to disappoint you. There are some synergies between the sites I run or tried to start up and theres nothing wrong in trying to work with that to everyones benefit.

I've been open about this with the staff... I don't have any design skills and its a pain in the ass trying to update older styles -- thats why I went out and PAID for this one which is supported by the designer and will receive upgrades as new versions of vbulletin are released.

Have a better style in mind? Show it to me -- I don't mind paying for it if it will be supported when new versions of vb are released. My intentions are no where near as malevolent as you make them out to be.

See above, I dont make money off this site and for the amount of whining involved, I'd make more money in a night of bar tending with a shit load less aggrivation.

As for "more capable" -- this site is in the most capable hands possible, the moderators and other admins supporting this site. They have a leeway no other site allows.

I am not going to justify every action and coddle every whinner. I posted these explanations as a courtesy to the OTHER forum members here.
 
... I'm confused. What's the big deal going on here? I can still make BS, worthless posts at my digression as well as waste everyones time by having them read my posts.

I don't see how anything has functionally changed. Perhaps if he adds a "tissue box" feature, that would help? Otherwise, you (plural, as in anyone who agreed with the OP) are just bitching and whining over something that is completely inconsequential. Find something better to do with your time than complain about it. Perhaps, learn the programming and make your own message board? With a message board within a message board (rate up for anyone who gets that)

I like the change in the forum, change is always good. I was whinning on the other thread to be mean to Miros because we have some sort of repressed sexual tension. >_>;

OTHERWISE!

I like the bubblyness of the new skin, but the bright purple and white do a number on the eyes. I don't really sit in a very well lit room and my LCD monitor tends to prioritize colors based on their SHEER BRIGHTNESS AND LIKENESS OF THE SUN. Either way, would it be too much to ask if the coder of your skin could possibly release a color pallet swap? Maybe with some more neutral colors similar to nightshift. The purple/white is just too bright on most monitors. Maybe we could go with a 'Bastok' 'San d'Oria' 'Windurst' theme where blue, red, and green were more prominent colors (just use neutral colors, dull blue, red, and green). ;D
