What's the situation with mods , etc on this site?
« on: December 05, 2013, 05:51:02 AM »
Who are the mods/curators, etc on this site, now?
Are they the same or is there new ones..and if so, who are they, just so I know what I'm up against.
I'd appreciate an answer.

I imagine the mods will stay the same, unless it is otherwise necessary to change them.
The illusion is shattered if we ask what goes on behind the scenes.

If everything's back to normal, then great. It ran fine before, albeit, I know people have issues and things don't always go to plan, but if nothing's changed, then, all well and good. No real harm done and I'm sure we can all pick up where we left off.

Stolen from the locked thread:

Sean,

I think what we should remember is that almost all of us can say we have had periods of inactivity and of activity.

To be fair, Daniel has been active in the Flat Earth community releasing historical documents, blogs, and performing fairly high profile interviews in what I would consider a fairly consistent manner; this is of course ignoring footing the bill and dealing with complaints for almost a decade.

I think its easy to forget how much we've all put into this society and even this site and its forum; it really is a part of who many of us are. Daniel rocks and he deserves our gratitude. Its easy to criticize and demonize, but its much more additive to be appreciative and work together.

In short, we should all be giving Daniel a "Thank you!"  So, Thank you Daniel!

I will not thank Daniel.  Daniel is the worst president this society could have EVER had.  Know why?  Because he doesn't interact with people.

This society, like any society, functions not on interviews or podcasts or library books, but on social interaction.  Two way communication is the whole point of running a society and this forum is supposed to do that.  But when I look at Daniel's posting habits, I found what I always knew:
He doesn't post.

Since 2005 he's made a grand total of 1116 posts.  A pathetic amount for someone who is president of the Flat Earth Society.  Especially when Tom Bishop, who does almost exclusive FES posts, has 16,445 since 2007!

But quality before quantity right?
So I filtered the search to include only posts made in the "upper forums" (General, q&a, Debate).
That didn't work as the search gave me only 1 post in each thread.  So I went to his stats.



Announcements    205
Flat Earth Q&A    139
Complete Nonsense    71
Suggestions & Concerns   70
The Lounge  52
Arts & Entertainment    33
Flat Earth Information Repository    24
Science & Alternative Science    12
Flat Earth General    10
Technical Support    9

He's made more CN posts than he has in FE general or the Debate forum! Since 2005!

This is not a leader.  This is a troll.
You have been ignored for common interest of mankind.

I am a terrible person and I am a typical Blowhard Liberal for being wrong about Bom.

But seriously though, we on tfes.org are largely in agreement that Daniel can and should continue to function as a president, but since his focus is not on the forums, other people should be in charge of those instead. For now, that means we're running things on our own accord, and we'll continue to do so until we come to a sensible solution.

Oh cool, I just now found out the site was back up.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.
