Not everyone who helps out on the forum gets noticed enough, but this is nothing new. If you hadn't noticed, the election that Recon just ran was the first election in 15 months.
That long ago? Wow.
Yep.
Of course. I am not arguing with you on posting in a forum and being noticed by it. I am commenting on the reasons behind the post... just to be noticed? Not my style... (but hey, if it works for others...)
It wasn't just you I was trying to convince that this place is only as clique-ish as humanity forces us to be. It was BH, and anyone else who feels like he does right now, which you seemed to be a charter club member of. #;-}>
I don't honestly think BlueHippo is going to regress and start doing all the wrong things just so he can get elected into the membership. Do you?
Not worried about membership, I would have liked to before, now. If I get it I will be happy, if I get reccomended for it. I will be happy to. But it isn't something I am actively seeking. Alot seems to have changed in the past year on NG. I am still finding small changes.
No, I was asking you if you were worried BLUEHIPPO was going to start acting like a fool in here to try and get elected, not if you wanted to be.
But same point stands.
Getting elected into the Wi/Ht? membership is not like being appointed a Supreme Court Justice.
No, never said it was. Don't exaggerate :)
Why not? It's fun!
Nor is being modded, BTW. But anyway. Can we stop making such big deals out of such minor shite?
Who said I am making a big deal? It was one post. Relax.
Again, I wasn't just talking to you, I was talking about the issue in general, and trying to reply to you and what BH said as well, all at once. I thought that'd be more clear to you, sorry.

No, I'd rather not. And I doubt he would say yes, anyway.
Exxxactly.
Could be... maybe I'm just confused. :P
NO WORRIES, MATE!

no, no, i know, i'm terribly sorry i really did want those stupid posts deleted. but then he quoted me by the time i got home and shit, great. that's all we need, another random drone posting in the LUL... i really am sorry, i regret making that post as soon as i pressed the post button.
Yeah, I saw your regretful-lookin' post, too, but... like you said, you can't get the posts deleted just by wanting them to be. I'd have done it for you, but I ain't a forum mod no more.
Post-regret... never a fun thing.
And yep... it's one thing to rail against a system... but you don't try to make it better by destroying it by making it worse first, unless that's the ONLY way to go. #;-}>
yes i know i remember being upset last time i didn't make it too, but i really didn't care as much back then.
Ah...
If we'd been holding elections every 3-4months like we were trying to do back in 2005-2006, then I guarantee you you'd already be a member. But we're not, so that's why you haven't been elected yet. Have some patience and please stop complaining, it's depressing.
yes yes i know. that's what i said. i had several members tell me that they voted for me, but i told them that their vote was null, and only 4 votes were being cast. i told myself that i was going to be done complaining, but my boss had made me trash 4 days worth of work earlier and i was rather upset, and needed to bitch about something.
Right, so just wait for the next election, when hopefully more than 4 votes will be cast, and we'll see what happens. If you lose out for some crap reason there, they I will join you in being super-upset, okay? Deal. #;-}>
sorry for being a baby, it's out of my nature to complain about such things. and what does it matter that i didn't make the list? i dunno, i was already bitching about the LUL before the elections were even cast.
Bitching about the LUL totally aside from the elections issue = a worthwhile pursuit. Stick to that, man, we might actually get somewhere with that. Plus LUL is a daily issue, elections aren't happening that often, even if it's every 3 months like we once tried to keep it going at that pace...
but my feelings still stand about the people who shamelessly use this thread for a +1 postcount all the time, just by copying other peoples lists. not like you and coop though, who actually take the time to go through the thread, like i used to at one point and grew dull of.
Thanks. It's what this thread has ALWAYS been to me, even when I did a lot of congrats lists myself (always original, though, no copying for me) and stat-bragging myself.
We just used to have a lot more folks around here who felt the same way about this thread. I have faith. Just give it time and things always change. For better for a bit, then worse, then back to better again. It'll turn, it'll turn...
hangs head in shame and drags feet off to bed :
Now now, there's no need for that. I wasn't trying to chastise you overmuch, just getcha to see that while a desire to tear down the machine that has wronged you is understandable and very human, it's much much more noble, more practical, and in the end... better... to try and change that machine instead. TOGETHER... WE CAN!
