You guys need to relax nobody is attacking anybody,recent events have made it clear that the current execs are not in control of the website, servers, ect…we have become too dependent on the Alumni and aid of people outside of this school…I speak for the club when i say alumni like adambomb, nickname, and mitch are very important and we dont want you guys to be sore over this…The point is, despite it not being allowed for people who dont go to the school to have any kind of power in the club, we need to tie up loose ends that are a risk to the sites security. There for all people that no longer attend the school should not have the ability to ban accounts, change code on website, delete posts, and they certainly should never have passwords and what not to access main control over the website. Only students should have these powers.
This would result in all old alumni memebers to lose access to various things, but this by no means that the alumni cant make suggestions, contributions, and continue to help. It will always be welcome. We just need the students to hold all positions and power. This also means we need to have students taught how to do the jobs that the alumni currently still do.
It is as simple as this and nothing more quit blowing things out of proportion please.
Who here has the experience to replace us?
Can you code PHP and CSS? No? Then you have no one to replace Adam and Raven.
Are you a monster at database queries? No? Then you have no one to replace Liam.
Can you code SM or have years of experience with gameservers and Windows 2003? No? Then you have no one to replace myself, Nickname, Lemm, or Adam37.
Btw, when you revoke our admins and the database dies in a month you’ll just be screwed. Once you cross this bridge there’s no going back because we won’t come back to save your asses when the forums magically die or a gameserver crashes and won’t turn on.
Josh, is this really about SGA or about your grudge against the alumni? Someone told me you were more involved with this than it appeared and your reply above pretty much confirms that. You need to drop this grudge. You were elected to represent the will and wishes of the alumni so why are you now advocating the exact opposite of what our wishes and desires are? If you can’t fullfill you duties you need to resign from your position and let someone who’s actually willing to represent us take that position.
Btw, there is no risk to site security. The security policies for off campus access are to the letter of what the campus server security director has mandated. What we’re doing has been discussed with him and he’s thinks it’s ok.
Also, I’m still waiting for a link to the SGA rules you guys are talking about.
