from the people i have heard from until dustin took over control as web master the forum was in danger of being shut down.
You’re like the 3rd freshman to post such a comment. Who is telling people this? After the last attempt by WCU’s IT to delete our website we moved it to a professional datacenter out of the state. The only way the forums could be “shut down” is if someone broke into the datacenter and took a hammer to the server.

the facebook from what i have seen doesnt have much on it.
Every exec has admin access to it and every member can post there. Facebook just isn’t a great marketing tool, never was and never will be. It takes way too much effort to do it successfully as opposed to the traditional website/message board/mass mailer approach.

it took a long time for the pictures from the last LAN to get up. from what i see people are either already lazy or arent doing their part.
Instructions for uploading the pictures were posted the Monday after the event.
You’ve essentially hit the nail on the head. Being an exec in a club like this isn’t easy. It used to be that when an exec was unable to do their job they would recruit others to help or resign and let someone else take over but in recent years they’ve been allowed to completely drop off radar and the job just doesn’t get done. This is partly the P/VPs fault, as it’s their job to make sure everyone else does their job, but it’s mainly voters fault for continuingly putting their friends in positions they weren’t suited for and then allowing them to keep the position due to popularity rather than the merits of their performance. From the way recruitment has been going the last few months there’s a real chance that these destructive trends can be reversed. Unfortunately, because they’ve gone on for so long the next set of execs will have their work cut out for them trying to recoup the losses.
