Ok, look no one here is perfect, that doesn't mean that someone cant be a good moderator. For instance plenty of us are genraly compleatly normal. Alantai Firestar is probablie the exception, I mean i haven't brought up Trees in ages(well of course i have now...), zombies only slightly ecentric, Will, well hes calmed down since the first slew of posts (maybe hes a little green to mod though), so while no ones perfect no ones realy that unstuible either. At the mo, things are goin alright and smothly so we dont need one at this very point in time, but when the forums start filling up with loads of people once the game is realeased, it will swamp the SY's and it will probablie fall apart.
So mods should be thought of for future consideration.

Oh throw somethign fresh and new at me!


Edit:: Besides I get the impression that the SY's have no intention of adding moderators since thigns seem to be getting better as it is. And there are alreayd moderators here if you do not look, though I dont see any evidence of them using moderator pwoers save Jouninkomiko deleting things and locking threads and SJ fiddling with the order of posts and creating forums.

This is my official offer to assist, if SJ wishes someone to do so. Having spend the past week messing with both IPB and PHPBB forums I figure I know what I'm doing, for the most part :P

The vast majority of these forums are self moderated, nobody wants to upset the community as a whole in one go.

If you're talking about developing some new improved parts for the web site, they have requested for someone to do that before. If so, search for it in the forums, i think the request is there, somewhere...

Well, before i posted, i tried to find it myself but also couldn't... But i remember such a request. Don't think i'm mistaken...

If you're serious about it, send a private message to one of them (maybe fnordia, who seems to be the one taking care of the web site!?). Even if i'm mistaken, they may be glad to have some improvements on some parts of the web site...

I and a few others have suggested putting a panoramic screenshot on the front page, to break up the great mass of text it is so it doesnt look daunting and intimidating, and there's the remove the sperm thread. I strongly urge the SY's to consider replacing the current title bar with one of those. Then there're the consistent requests that a wiki button be added to the menu. And more pictures in the wiki, which we can remedy ourselves.

People should look at this site and say wow whats that, most of the time they see a squigly orange thing and a mound of text, not that interesting..
