Description: updates and changes to this forum..

ok every1 first off, BDX has NOT left the forum ok? he has just confirmed it.
secondly, due to the recent absences of our ever-so-busy admins, MajinTobias will be promoted to admin.
he is here more often than we are.
he was one of the first mods appointed by bdx.
he has a cool avi....(ok just kidding :lol: )
we feel that Majin is a trustworthy and responsible individual.
and lastly, he has some ideas that may help this forum.
of course, Majin's promotion means that we have an opening for a mod.
however, due to the recent inactivity of the forums, lately we feel that that
is something that should be discussed later on once the forum become more active.
VirusZero - March 17, 2005 03:35 AM (GMT)
knew he wouldnt leave,but yeah it does seem logical to have MajinTobias as a admin, ( btw congrats MajinTobias ) as for a mod since the board doesnt have like 800 topics why do we need another mod?
Black Angel - March 17, 2005 03:40 AM (GMT)
well yeah, you have a point, however some body's gotta keep watch if tesm, bdx and myself aren't here right? If in the event that the forum becomes active again we probably promote one or two of you.. B)
VirusZero - March 17, 2005 03:43 AM (GMT)
yes but until that happens no point in having needless mods
TESM - March 17, 2005 04:09 AM (GMT)
correct, we must slowly fold back and slowly expand again. inflation was our last problem.
Black Angel - March 17, 2005 06:34 PM (GMT)
that and the fact that it could use 1 or 2 new topics... maybe majin is right, maybe we should resurrect some of the old topics that got the most replies and start responding to them... B)
VirusZero - March 17, 2005 11:51 PM (GMT)
yeah that helps, maybe see if the old members remember here and are willing to come back?

VirusZero - March 19, 2005 12:19 AM (GMT)
hmm, if all members came back and started posting like us, then we'd be very well off.
Black Angel - March 19, 2005 01:16 AM (GMT)
here's hoping...
btw, i changed the name from "before you post anything" to S.S.A. Community"
"please read before posting" to "law" (because it deals with rules)
"court room" to "order" (since that would be where order is kept)
and i created a "news and feedback" area but i think i'll name it to "announcements and feedback" what do you think? B)
VirusZero - March 19, 2005 01:29 AM (GMT)
thats good, just change a little bit at a time. but as fro name changes, doesnt matter long as the meaning is clear.
MajinTobias - March 19, 2005 01:33 AM (GMT)
Thanks for the promortion. I'll do my best. Thanks for taking my idea into consideration. Hope we can keep this place alive.
VirusZero - March 19, 2005 01:47 AM (GMT)
hey ya deserved it, we understand you do whats best for here, and as for keeping it alive, it wont be too hard, as long as a few people post here with regularity we'll be fine. and when BDX returns things will be even better.
Black Angel - March 19, 2005 02:01 AM (GMT)
well i saw a few old members today... i think it was "flame the hedge hog..." he posted a response to an old thread.. however, i saw we do the changes now and then mass email every1 telling them about the new changes.. and well go from there. B)
MajinTobias - March 19, 2005 02:10 AM (GMT)
We shouldn't shove it down there throats, but mass email sounds good.
VirusZero - March 19, 2005 02:13 AM (GMT)
is it wrong to make the changes then mass everyone and tell them "hey come check out the new revamped Super Smash Allstars forum" ?
its not like we're sending it to them 9 times, and they did sign up to this place knowing that they have become a part of something much bigger, and they cant just abandone it when ever they feel like doing so, (well there are vaild excuses, ie family emergency)
MajinTobias - March 19, 2005 02:16 AM (GMT)
Yeah I know but I thought mas email was -multiple- emails but its email to every meber once. Sorry. It's a good idea.
Black Angel - March 19, 2005 02:16 AM (GMT)
well, it wouldnt be so much as "hey look what we did while you were gone!" as it is a friendly update you know that way well see who comes and who stays you know? B)
MajinTobias - March 19, 2005 02:28 AM (GMT)
Yeah I know I gotcha. It would draw my attention if I left.
A.J. The Echidna - March 19, 2005 02:31 AM (GMT)
You could give them a little guy that follows them around like an ineractive avatar or something.
VirusZero - March 19, 2005 02:40 AM (GMT)
an interactive avatar like how the eyes of it follow the mouse direction?
Black Angel - March 19, 2005 02:43 AM (GMT)
imagine if tesm had some thing like that on his avi? it would scare the hell out of me... btw aj? what do you think?
MajinTobias - March 19, 2005 04:05 AM (GMT)
Okay me an Alisha were Pming eachother about mods and she brought up VirusZero. I agreed he's here a lot and deserves to be compensated so I gave him ModShip in a couple places. Congrats, and if any other Admins think I did wrong with the Mod options feel free to edit them?
Black Angel - March 19, 2005 04:12 AM (GMT)
cool.. congrats viruszero B)
Black Angel - March 19, 2005 04:15 AM (GMT)
im sure after reading all this tesm and bdx will agree.. after all they were on board when i told them that you should be promoted. B)
A.J. The Echidna - March 20, 2005 03:38 AM (GMT)
I have no ides what BTW means but the interactive avatar sits on the top of the page and give you things to do and you can choose which one you want.
MajinTobias - March 20, 2005 03:43 AM (GMT)
A.J. The Echidna - March 20, 2005 04:03 PM (GMT)
Oh. Chatspeak is way too confusing.
VirusZero - March 20, 2005 08:15 PM (GMT)
thanks for promoting me. chatspeak isnt too bad once you learn the abbreviations, long as you dont get "roflmao lo!101010!! omg its teh leik omg " type stuff.
but for the interactive avatar like a flash based menu that is at the top and you click the topic name and it'll take you direct to the board? (or along those lines?)
A.J. The Echidna - March 21, 2005 01:38 AM (GMT)
Yep, it can even bring you to a chat room where the other members can talk.
MajinTobias - March 21, 2005 03:45 AM (GMT)
A.J. The Echidna - March 21, 2005 10:10 PM (GMT)
The thingy can bring you to a small area where you and other people can chat.
VirusZero - March 22, 2005 12:45 AM (GMT)
so sorta like a menu that can take you to every topic on this board and to a live chat on an irc or some kind of eqivalent?
MajinTobias - March 22, 2005 03:28 AM (GMT)
Oh okay not a bad idea I got it now.
Black Angel - March 22, 2005 03:44 AM (GMT)
i know of a few but most of them are in java... i know a little about java because i "skinned" no.. "decorated" my forum with java.. the snow effect, the jukebox...
MajinTobias - March 22, 2005 04:03 AM (GMT)
Yeah I like the snow effect. <3
A.J. The Echidna - March 22, 2005 10:16 PM (GMT)
My friend put a snow effect on his site during Christmas. It was radical.
VirusZero - March 23, 2005 01:29 AM (GMT)
javascript is almost like actionscript, there are a few differences but other than those you learn one and the otherone is that much simpler.
Black Angel - March 23, 2005 01:33 AM (GMT)
thanx but i gotta change it since it is now march.. i may end up doing a forum for school where ppl can go and b**** about professors and stuff,
and bdx is mad at me..
VirusZero - March 23, 2005 02:02 AM (GMT)
thats good but why bother to complain about teachers when you can do something about it.
why would ya say BDX is mad?
