You know what angers me about you Denvish?
I signed up only a week before you, and you are a Level 14 while I am Level 12.

WHY OH WHY DID I HAVE TO MISS 6 MONTHS OF DEPOSITING!!!!

hah, nothing against you really, I just noticed that now, and made me realise the importance of it all >:(.

Yeah, well, I signed up 14 months before you, and you're a Level 12 while I'm a Level 11. Booyah.

The C list was RedCircle's decision as to who would be included and who wouldn't. J00bie, you may think that only 6 people should be on it, but heck, we're including another 5 already on Sunday so that list was always going to be growing very quickly. Of course I'm slightly biased because I was on Red's list and not on yours, but still the C list needs to be (in my opinion) the same size as the A and B lists so that fair comparison can be made. As for people complaining about the Wi/Ht members being inactive etc etc, that's pretty irrelevant. AFAICT, being elected to Wi/Ht is pretty much like being made a mod. Even if you are inactive, you still aren't demodded, and it's the same with Wi/Ht. Why should you be? Just because you aren't helpful now, doesn't mean that you weren't a huge asset in the past...

Actually.. Pimp use to be ahead of HumanTarget. And there use to be new user referals and flash submission referals about 2 years ago.

I knew there was something about you that I admired SCD. The voice of sanity from a slightly crazy dude (lol). I have the answers to most of the questions some the others asked or at least speculated on (a few had me laughing). I'm not about to multi-reply to each of them but one thing has me confused. When most of you started frequenting this forum two things became apparent to me. The first is you genuinely wanted to help people out with any problems they may have had, and in doing so you made this place your second home. The conversation, all the informative lists, the endless barrage of newbie questions is what draws me to this place. Second and more importantly is most of you expressed a desire to become a Wi/Ht? members because you thought we were intelligent, respectable people (I don't know, you tell me). Now after reading through this topic all I see are numerous statements on how certain members don't deserve the right to continue being a Wi/Ht? member. What the hell is that about? It makes no sense to me at all. Do me a favor the next time any of you feel like you're being shortchanged. Think back a couple of years to when the level up! Lounge had less than 30 replies and tell me if you still feel the same way. I'm not angry, just a little disheartened.

Sure, I dont think any of the members should be dismembered (har har har), though I do see the others points by saying that Drimarki hasnt appeared in X amount of time, and Dobio has simply become opposed to the whole Wi/Ht? type idea (but remains a member (as he should be)).
(((About to go slightly off topic)))
To be completely honest, Im starting to 're-like' Dobio... it's been such a while since I've seen him around... at least I havent seen him banning anyone lately.
THOUGH, maybe he was scared shitless when he saw Wades response 3 days after any posts in this topic Dobio created... =O.
Either way, hes definately 'calmed down', and has become more witty from what I see.

Give it time kid, you'll learn to 're-hate' him all over again (I did, it's easy). It requires a conscious effort by the individual in question to bring about change. I have my doubts about the "conscious" part. Care to make a friendly wager on the outcome?

That doesn't surprise me j00bie. It just reinforces my stance on how some of the mods are the biggest spammers around. Piss poor example to set for the newbies wouldn't you say?

Hmmm, well at least I hope you mean what you say. I wasnt particularly happy when I read your post in the LUL this morning.
I guess I deserved it though, even though I never did have intentions to have it blammed (espescially not flagged). Seeing as such junk has passed judgment before.

I guarantee you the next time he makes a post where he quotes me I will probably 're-hate' him. I dont know when that'll be though, seeing as Im going to try my best to steer clear of General.

The only mods that I really see that ARENT spammers are
-gfoxcook, because he does huge multiposts, and barely ever/never posts in General/C&C.
-TBF, because i've never really seen this guy. I dont even see why hes modded.
-Possible DanMalo, just because he seems to have fairly lengthy posts and such.

The rest I consider spammers, yet another thing we both agree on =O

gfox is one of the top 3 mods this site has ever seen in my opinion. I say the top 3 because I really don't care for the rest. They either post blatant spam, dump on users that aren't "old school" or suck ups, or decide to make that oh so rare appearance to moderate the forums. What's the total number of mods at now anyway? It must be getting close to 30.

Well, I hope everyone is doing well.

This is the first official voting of the new Regular's List. I hope you all got my e-mail regarding the "Potential Candidates" and I saw that most of you replied to me (with the exclusion of Pure, who posted his opinion here).

I haven't heard from Baron_Von_Bad_Guy, Yoink or TheRotArm, but if you all will please at least send me an e-mail telling me what's up, that would be most appreciated.

This is the list of candidates:
.
.
::: OMITTED :::
.
.
Please select 5 from the above list.

Also, send me their Id#'s and usernames. You may just cut and paste. (This is to ensure that those people who have changed their alias name don't get us confused)

Some of you have sent me your votes already, but I ignored them because that isn't what I asked for earlier.

I will tally up the votes on October 15th, and e-mail you all who the winners are. I will also include a list of everyone, and who got those votes.

On October 16th, the 3 people with the highest number of votes are allowed to join. If there are any ties, then they will be broken up by sign up date (earlier outranks newer). Those three people will be posted in the LUL, and Versus thread.

We will also be holding an election at the end of the month to add 1 to the list.

I have decided that no one will lose their "membership" in this list. However, if the members, after a certain period of time, decide that a user is clearly not appropriate on this list (due to inactivity, misconduct, or account deletion), then I will leave that option open, and that will be voted on by majority rule (ties result in the action not passing). So please vote accordingly.

Please do not vote based on someone's "stats". This voting process is not a competition. This is to respect the people who come here to help out others, regularly.

So with that being said, please vote now...via e-mail: redcircle@gmail.com

Thank you, and have a good day ^_^

-Mike (RedCircle)

I have a good question. What's your course of action for someone who doesn't make the cut for list "C" but through a hilarious twist of fate manages to make it onto list "B" in the next election? It would be interesting to see how both parties would deal with such a scenario. Feedback?

So do I, but I will let you finish.

I would definitely have to laugh.

Well, considering that roughly 50% of the people that are in List B come here often enough to elect someone relatively "new", and those who do not come here that often might not care enough to vote, I would say that the chances of that happening are much greater than people think.

The chances of the 'List B'ers selecting someone who isn't necessarilly popular to the forum "now" is also greater than most people think too. Simply because you all know a few more people than the "new" people do, and you might have an in-born respect for those "older" users (older meaning earlier sign-up date, not age, and certainly not implying people with walkers ;-)

I have pondered the usefullness of having two lists here with the same intention, yet two different purposes.

I have never heard in any great detail, the purpose of the Wi/Ht? Memberlist. Suppose you or another member could enlighten me? Is it a record of all the "greats" of this forum? Is it just a list of people that had really good stats? I know what it symbolizes, but the purpose seems a bit clouded.

It would be interesting to see how both parties would deal with such a scenario.

You make me feel like I am almost challenging spancker. I know you didn't say it, though.

I hold nothing against him, other than the fact that he didn't give the "reins" over to you or another member of the Memberlist that is more present, since he is never around.

Feedback?

Here's my question:

Have I ruined the possibly of ever being considered into the Memberlist? Have I completely sealed my fate? I hope not. I am certainly not against, or even rivaling the Memberlist. I'm just another person, with ideas, that lurks and posts here more often than not.

Well cheers Recon for the very nice compliment mate, i take pleasure in them ;P

I guess, Denvish just annoyed me a little and i just blurted out what i had to say, it may or may not have been helpful, but that doesnt bother me in the slightest at the moment.

I would say respect the older members because its obvious they are more enlightened than others who have joined recently. I read your post and i dont know why but it seemed to me that it trailed off towards the end, i dunno if this was intentional, were you going to say more ?

I was only having fun with you Red. Thanks for caring but I'm a bit surprised you'd sat that considering my mood and posts over the last few days. I don't normally insult someone to the extent I flamed QuikFox but he had it coming. There's several valid reasons for my recent attitude towards him but the first & foremost is to give him a taste of his own medicine. He declares himself as king of the C & C and dumps on countless newbies every day. That's not the type of person I think should be hanging around a help forum. If this guy is really in college like he claims then I'm a golf club. Besides, he'd harshly lower the intelligence factor of this place and that's not a good thing (seriously Red, read a few pages of his posts and judge for yourself).

Understood. I'll go you one further Red (are you sitting down?) What happens if someone doesn't make list "B" or "C" but somehow makes list "A"? Haha! Ponder that one for a spell.

Simply because you all know a few more people than the "new" people do, and you might have an in-born respect for those "older" users (older meaning earlier sign-up date, not age, and certainly not implying people with walkers ;-)

Ack!! I think there was a hidden shot in that post somewhere.

I have never heard in any great detail, the purpose of the Wi/Ht? Memberlist.

It's just a list of all the people who've been chosen by other members to become an official member of the lounge. That's all. Kind of like a lounge lizard. gfox spiced up the list by providing links to everyone's profile. Ha! I remember when he was trying to get it perfect and I told him that's as good as it gets. People and their OCD.

It would be interesting to see how both parties would deal with such a scenario.

I know you're not Red, relax man.

I hold nothing against him, other than the fact that he didn't give the "reins" over to you or another member of the Memberlist that is more present, since he is never around.

Actually he did. Whenever spancker takes one of his extended vacations he has gfox and myself act as co-leaders. Is this starting to shed some light on the subject?

Have I ruined the possibly of ever being considered into the Memberlist?

LoL. Are you shitting me Red? You're one of the prime candidates for the next election in my opinion. I honestly can't speak for the other members but I'd say your chances are pretty darn good. You have at least one other person challenging you for the 21st spot so it's gonna be cool to see how things turn out.

Have I completely sealed my fate?

Yeah buddy, like a three year old jar of peanut butter.

Thanks for your funny hypothetical situation. It would be something to see ^_^

Someone jumping from list "C" to "A" would be even funnier. Kinda like the process of sublimation 'eh?

I was getting ready to say something similar. Before Qwoxyl, Spancker wasn't around to host a number of elections, they were also spread out more (4 months per every or something along those lines, correct me if I'm wrong.).

I think it is safe to say that everybody (excluding perhaps a select few) that everybody has been very surprised about your recent moody posts, I'm sure all will be 'forgiven' (that seems like an appropriate word, I think), within the next short while. You already told me that 'you need your daily dose of cheapshots' (something like that), so maybe I'm just taking this to seriously. Why take stuff so seriously on the internet anyways? Im always stuck asking my self this question.

I don't normally insult someone to the extent I flamed QuikFox but he had it coming.

Holy fucking shitdoh! I just read that post, and holy shit! I thought I had it bad with a 'you have none of our respect' post. But that actually made me feel better reading that in an odd sort of way.

I knew your reason for your hatred towards him would be for bashing nooblets in the Clubs and Crews.. And, well... I was right! =)

Yeah that's pretty close MPA. I've hosted one election in the past and I believe gfox has hosted two. Ha! It was either the last election or the one before that where some of the other Wi/Ht? members sent me their nominations (lol). Too bad spancker was running that particular election. That one could've easily ended up in a tie (privileged information gained through slip-ups is cool). You know something MPA? I'm not sure how spancker decides who the winner is if there is a tie. We've had two people become members simultaneously on two different occasions but I don't think it was due to a tie from the voting. If a tie does happen I'd say go by the earlier sign up date like Red suggested for list "C". Then again there's a few members who would argue to have both candidates inducted.

Serious answer:
This thread is anything but new. It's the comparaison between mods stats and members stats. Lately, redcircle added a list with stats of the regulars so we have three lists. The main purpose of this thread is to show the comparaison between the overall stats of each list.

You should start reading the topics/posts before asking a lame question like that one. We won't answer you everytime.

Well, the results are final. The three new Regulars are...

I will also do a complete update of the A, B, and C lists. I even got a way to get Ozcar's info. He can still check his info, so when I need some of his stats, I can get them directly from him. He told me that he will have his profile hidden for a month, or so. However, he will be making it public again in the future, so that will be good for all us listmakers.

Goodnight all. Have a wonderful Friday (or what's left of it) ^_^
