Wow, it's RedCircle...long time no see. Hmmm, elections again sounds cool.

Oh, so long.

Hey guys, I just received Coops' PM. I'd like to help, but since I've hardly been on the board for the past three months, I don't think I'm very qualified for nominating or voting. So just count me out ...

May be, one day, I'll have some free time ... breaking up with my girlfriend may be ? Naaah ...

Hello back.

With the memberpage on gfox's page being outdated, both with usernames and profile ID's, i whipped up a list with all the correct and up-to-date names and links.

I was wondering when Greg was going to update it. Sweet list Frostbreath.

Other notable changes is, in my oppinion, that Recon and jonthomson haven't retired.

Probably because my last 3 goals haven't been achieved yet. I'm hoping to reach 100,000 blam/protect points and 10,000 posts. I'd also like to crash the top 50 list for experience. :)

man it was like i just went through a time machine into awesomeness :0 glad to see you guys still stirring on the internet ;)

What say you?

i think that will make them feel warm and fuzzy inside ^_^

I hope so, but we'll see. Many of the retired members don't want anything to do with elections, so I'll be risking pissing them off. But hey, they can just delete the PM in that case.

Sweet name-list, man. I appreciate the helps. I'm pretty sure the only way people woulda gotten confused and thought a vote had already happened... is if you had added member #33 or more to the bottom of the list, yanno. #:-}>

also, thanks to gfox for letting me put it here ;)

You're welcome, but no one really needs my permission to post shit in this topic, yanno. I just created it, I don't owns it.

As for Recon and jonthomson: they're both listed as retired by request. Retired doesn't necessarily mean the person is not around on the site at all (though in say Drimarki's case, obviously it does). Most of the people listed as retired didn't disappear/drop off the map like him, though... most ASKED me to list them that way because they didn't want to have anything more to do with the membership (either for a time, or forever... ask them).

But again... we'll touch upon that issue when the election happens and I PM all 31 other members. Boy, that's gonna be a job. #;-}>

I see. So that means he likely won't be voting in the actual election, either? Well, that's his prerogative of course, but we sure could use as many votes as we can get...

I shall send out the PMs tonight. We might stir something up, who knows?

Yeah, I've got a membership report relating to the whereabouts of the following members:

AfroUnderscoreStud Has (almost completely) left the BBS, as we are probably all aware. Therefore he will not be voting. I reccomend that we mark him as inactive
jonthompson Is retired, but can't think of anyone.
MPA Is not on the BBS enough to knowI suggest that we mark as inactive
Alkador Is not nominating, but might vote / say hello on the thread.
Myst Will neither nominate, nor vote. I suggest we mark as inactive
lightning Doesn't care any more. I move to mark as retired
Qwoxyl Is not going to nominate or vote I suggest that we mark him as inactive

I'm glad to see that people are still in contact with us and NG.

You're officially listed as retired. I can't see why that would stop you from hanging around here though :)

I do not see my name here. Is there something that I need to do before becoming a member or Ican join right away?

You need to get voted in. Generally members have been added to the list for their helpfulness in the topics of the Where is / How to forum and their activity in the forum as a whole.

We need to arrange a vote at some point, but bearing the Xmas morning after effects in mind, I just can't be fucked right now.

Christmas? Holy shit I overslept!

Well, the results are in and 3 more people have made the Wi/Ht member list. First of all I'd like to thank everyone that voted. Most of the nominees received votes and although I don't normally give out election info I should mention there was a 3-way tie for first. I don't think that's ever happened before. This means sign-up dates will decide the membership order. Secondly, I'd like to know when everyone would like the next election to be held. I figure within the next 2 or 3 months but we'll let majority decide. So without further adieu, here are the winners;

#33 life
#34 BlueHippo
#35 NEVR

Big congrats to life, BlueHippo and NEVR!!!

Woah, I honestly didn't expect this... I gotta say it's a huge honour to be ascending to the Memberlist, especially after such a short period of time on the Regulars list. Thanks to everybody who voted for me, I'm really grateful!

Congrats to BlueHippo and life as well! Looks like life's prediction of leaving the regulars list following his retirement from the B/P 51+ list was correct - only he's leaving it to go up to the Memberlist! Some happy irony there.

Thanks again guys.

It's an invitation only club, this one.

You help out around the Wi/Ht forum, occasionally posting in stat topics and being helpful in the How to questions threads.

Then the members will vote for people to add to the list periodically.

Well, I have asked for help quite a few times as NEVR knows, So I have quite a bit of spare knowledge thanks to him among others.

To be honest, I'm actually a little disappointed that Life was voted in. I mean, I like the kid, but really, he barely does shit all in the wi/ht. He doesn't offer help to other users, he doesn't post in any of the threads for stats, with the exception of the short period of time he updated the 51+, which not only got him into the Regulars list, but also the Memberlist. I know this is going to make me sound like a sour soggy cunt, which I am, but I've been helping out around the wi/ht since 05 now. I know Life was a lot more active in the past, but I see that all it takes is to update that major list that everyone checks out, and he gets right in. I guess that's the way it is though, I remember last time complaining (because I'm a soggy cunt) about not making the list due to not posting enough in the LUL. Personally I prefer to use the wi/ht to help out users with their issues, than talk about stats. But then again I suppose more of the wi/ht members list are those that like to have those big discussions. I've slowly found myself doing that more, but... I never see Life around there ;P It's all good, Life has been a good NG user for some time, I just find it a bit irritating that all he has to do is run this 5 minute program, and update one list for a couple months, and he's considered a member.

But, updating a big list like that is obviously going to give a lot more exposure than posting in a thread that is only on the first page for a couple days, until it vanishes forever and is forgotten about. Those big wi/ht threads will be around forever. I understand why it happened, but it just irritates me. Also, the only reason I bitch is because it's Life, a good friend of mine... nothing quite like a little friendly competition, no? EXCEPT DAMMIT. He's #33 and I'm #34. SO DAMN HIM. DAMN HIS SMELLY FACE. Whatever, I'm making money off of his Moobs by adding the NG API to Jive Machine, so... thanks Life ;D

Some happy irony there.

Sure... that's what you can call it ;P

Sorry to vent again in this thread, I'm sure it makes me look like a big baby. But I have to complain about something every update, and since I actually made the list, I'll just give Life shit ;P But seriously, thanks you guys for voting me in. Been one of my NG goals for quite some time. Now I will retire and never check the wi/ht again!! Naw, just kidding. Glad NEVR made the list as well, he's been extremely helpful around this neck of the woods lately. And congrats again to Life, even though he's a smelly-cheat-face.

I love you all, even though I rant about DLT...

I bet you in 20 minutes I will feel stupid for making this post, and wish I just posted "omg thx u guys for voting me in xoxo" :P

Thanks man, I guess I have been something of a busy little helper bee around here, lately, now that I think about it. It's quite rewarding helping out new people - I've noticed that even some users who have bad reps on NG (portal spammers, for example), have occasionally given up their shameless BBS trolling to help folk out, which is both amusing and welcome at the same time.

BEING HELPFUL IS THE GREATEST DRUG

I bet you in 20 minutes I will feel stupid for making this post, and wish I just posted "omg thx u guys for voting me in xoxo" :P

Hooray for hindsight! ;)

Ahhh, three e-buddies made the list at the same time.

You guys are fucking awesome though. Congrats.

Huge congrats to life, BlueHippo and NEVR on becoming the three newest Wi/Ht? Members! :D You all are great new additions to the list. And while I'm posting this, I had to change the regulars updates template so it includes the mention of the three users ascending from regulars to members. :)

My only concern is that since the new members were announced just before the May 2008 regulars elections were about to commence (i.e. on 22nd April 7PM EST), should they still be allowed to vote for potential regulars on the next update or not? I should have a better idea on what to do if this situation happens, but I can't seem to find any similar situations. Maybe they weren't posted on the BBS.

I'm leaning more towards that they should still vote, so there's a few more voters (the more, the merrier) for the update and the fact that the regulars updates are done once a month, not when the Wi/Ht? Memberlist has new members. This means that the latest update still says BlueHippo, life and NEVR are Wi/Ht? regulars. However, what makes me think no is that they're Wi/Ht? members now.

Hopefully I can get a response from a more experienced user than me (i.e. Recon, gfox) on what I should do when this situation happens. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow night (apologies if I sound impatient here), the three members will be allowed to vote for new regulars. If this shouldn't happen, then apologises if I do that and I will make sure it doesn't happen again. All I'm doing here is making sure I don't screw up anywhere.

Anyway, enough of that mumbling. Just a note to gfox when you see this:

When you update the Wi/Ht? Memberlist, could you make sure Afro_Stud is marked as retired? He has told me numerous times that he wishes to be labelled as retired and claims to have requested it (to Recon, I assume) several times.
