The server was empty when there was a period about a year or so ago when we didnt have leadership within the 1.6 server. Majormajormajor came in and helped revive the 1.6 server because no one on campus would do it (not even myself). So that makes him not justified to run the server? He did a pretty good job from what i can tell, and ive been in the club since the beginning.
and you think the server isnt exactly full? Since i became CL, its JUMPED in population due to great admins and a great rotation
I’m not saying he didn’t fill up the server. In fact I believe I said the opposite. The fact is he didn’t deserve a position like that in the club. I’ll use me as an example, because alot of this issue for me is resentment, and rightfully so, but this could go for other people too, like Ver1tas (who also wanted 1.6 CL at one time, but was shut down by only students being allowed. Most would agree, Ver1tas would have done a KILLER job.). I tried and tried to get elected as webmaster. At the time, after 2 and a half years with the club, I figure hey, I have a shot. It was shut down when instead of making the vote for the webmaster position (who at the time, nobody could have done a better job at than me), it was voted that in order to become the Webmaster (although webmaster was empasized), or any official position within the club, you had to be 1. a WCU student or 2. a PAST student.
I wasn’t even given a chance. See, I deserved to hold the position. I was basically the webmaster ANYWAY, just without the access to the site to get stuff done myself. Instead I had people like GXTI coming to me saying “How do you do this?” etc. Which is still happening. Not that I mind helping. In fact, anything I can do for this site I still do, because I love what I do, its my hobby. I’m happy with what I have now. For now anyway. Eventually it got to the point where I had to get Adams account (which was WITH permission) to make updates and install SECURITY PATCHES, erasing the logs as I did it, cause god forbid somebody know I did something to keep the forums on track. I also needed his account for certain skinning things. I mean yeah, I had the ability to upload the skins and export and whatnot, but no permission to rebuild skin sets or edit HTML of the skins. So what I had was useless because of what I didn’t have. It was refused to me by none other than Liam. What happened here? I was banned.
The fact that I was banned for doing what I did shows you how *edited* backwards the club was at the time. I realize it all boiled down to a me vs Liam issue, and that Bitey was the one who wanted me banned, but hey, we all make mistakes (Not that I’m saying I made any). It’s not like I lied about it when asked “why were you in Adams account?”. No, I was straight up. Cause the webmaster at the time was a freakin idiot, and couldn’t get stuff done, thats why. I think back now to see how many people who were actually IN important decisions who deleted logs….and what happened to them? Nothing. Hey, I did what I had to do, and I’d do it again.
Jeez. After all this, it makes me wonder if I should consider running for webmaster again. Or if SimpWeb (me and Adam) should run for webmaster(s). I realize Adam’s already webmaster, but there’s nobody who could keep this forum going as well as me, and nobody who could keep the main website as great as us. I say that to this day. I could do SO much for this site….I mean look what I have done already, and not as a whole, but just since i’ve been back.
Okay…I’m out of this argument. I’ve gotten off my chest what I wanted to. I’ll be ignoring this topic, because it just upsets me….but I will be looking into the webmaster thing, although I’ve learned never to get my hopes up when it comes to this club, as great as it is.
