Hmm...this isn't related to the build of the site, but rather site content:  videos wouldn't be a bad idea, right?  And I'm not talking about just trailers either.  With a beast like Youtube and Veoh lurking about, its cakewalk for anyone to have a server-full of videos for free and open to the public for speedy demand.  Putting up entire cutscenes, battles, tutorials, etc would be cake-walk, and improve upon the site even more so, ya?

News entries is something I'm willing to write and work on on the main page as long as you're willing to let me write and work on them.

My current is advice, is plain and simple: hire Emilio for a regular staff position on the site, just like Traci.

See, that wasn't so difficult, right?

Wiki would be interest, but only to the people here.  Not many outside would really care.  You gotta focus beefing the main site up first before anything else.  And at this point, you'll REALLY need beefing.

I don't want to sound egotistical or pompous, but it might be a good idea if you take me up on my help and advice.  I'm not just some random nobody. :-)

What exactly is the problem? I'm not even sure what you're ranting about at this point. This is a hobby for anyone involved and I have a full time job aside from this. This isn't freaking Associated Press. I lose money on this thing between hosting, paying for the vBulletin license, items from Japan to add to the site, the games to begin with, not to mention the time spent that could be done doing other things. If I was pulling something in here and it was all I did you might have a point.

I think you're over exaggerating a lot of this to begin with. Traci isn't fully taking over the site, she's essentially taking on a larger role than she did. No one else had ever offered before and I've posted several requests for help on the main site since it has started.

And despite that, Traci was the ONLY person who ever offered me direct help on the site (beyond some corrections or something in the forum that we've always credited) and then actually did anything. Every one else has found that they too are too busy to contribute to this site as much as they would like (which I think is perfectly acceptable and understandable)--and even then I think about 7 people ever contacted me about it. There's not this line of people that have offered to write news posts for me. Do you seriously expect me to have a team of six writers to cover for each other the second something "super duper urgent" happens in the Megaten world? Seriously? lol.

Let's face it, nothing concerning this series is "super duper urgent" to begin with. Not one really has has patted me on the back when we've had news first (which much to my surprise has happened many times), but apparently they're willing to attack when I don't have it on the same day. How is that fair to any of us working on this project?

If it's really that much of a problem, you're more than free to make your own site and I would have no problem supporting it. I earnestly hope it goes well and lives up to your standards. Or you can go check out Megaten Haven or something. I don't know what else to say. You're being more passive aggressive than anything else to begin with, so I'm not sure what's making you fit to judge every one else's time commitments to this site. I've probably put in more time related to Megaten crap than half this board combined, if you want to get snappy about it. This isn't our career, it's not our life and we're just people. I'd appreciate your general input, but I'd also appreciate some level of patience with the situation. Thank you.

And thanks to the people who have been more understanding about it.

Aerozero: I haven't added any new smilies in a long time. I think there's quite a bit if you open up the full box, though.


You're absolutely ignoring and undermining your own community.  You say "they can help out, and receive pats on the back", while anyone who's to actually work on the site, you go out and look for someone completely on the outside...when you got competent staff members right here!  You don't need anyone from out there man, its all in here!

Yeah, I was referring to Devil Summoners who have turned to the evil side (for lack of a better definition). Thanks for pointing that out.

Also Qbasic, until now Tony has done the news by himself and sometimes he's been too busy to post "super duper urgent news" as it comes- so there will be no change? But if that isn't acceptable, I have good news, Tony and I have actually been in contact with someone else who may end up taking a key role in the site.

...

I'm sorry, but that last paragraph...I'm sorry, lol, but I probably wont be coming back to this site anymore.  Give me ONE fucking good reason as to why anymore?!

This is absolute incompetence!
141  Be Your True Mind / Find Your Voice / Re: Staff Updates on: November 25, 2007, 12:11:14 PM
Okay, so lets figure that Traci DOES do all the work on the site, and people around here help her out along the way.

What would be the case if some super duper urgent news comes up, and Traci doesn't happen to be very much online, hm?
142  Be Your True Mind / Find Your Voice / Re: Staff Updates on: November 24, 2007, 10:17:41 PM
"Credit?" >.>  I'm sorry, but thats just crap.  Thats like going from a pat on the back, to a pat on the head.

Traci...I'm assuming this is your first time truly running a site, am I right? :)  Do you have AIM or MSN?
143  Be Your True Mind / Find Your Voice / Re: Staff Updates on: November 24, 2007, 07:46:58 PM
Wow!  Niiiiice Emilio, you got a pat on the back!  Real trooper!

Hey, Traci.  :3  When Tony is done upgrading, maybe it ought to be a better idea to give a real proper thanks to Emilio for doing all this work.  One reason why this site isn't as good as it is, is because there's only one person running the show. :3  So, if you all don't mind, I'll vouch for a nice staff position for Emilio.

Also, since its regular in every SMT game, it might be a good idea to add an ability/spell lexicon.  I wont mind helping out with that one. :3

You're not going to overhaul it to a completely based CuteNews site management system, are you?

That stuff is easy to penetrate. :-/  The best would prolly be a custom build...if you can manage it. XD
145  Be Your True Mind / Find Your Voice / Re: Staff Updates on: November 19, 2007, 05:45:24 PM
I'll help out.  I managed to squeeze some free time out of it, so I can work on the site for a while.

1up wrote about it too on the TV show: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164244


I love it how you're absolutely not updating the front page on this issue.
148  MEGAMI TENSEI™ Uncensored / Velvet Room / Re: request... on: November 04, 2007, 07:48:32 AM
I don't like that attitude, young lady.

So quit your bitching, mang. :<

It's possible that Tony is really busy,and I can't blame him.

He is also the only person who runs this site so....
Not much can be helped.


I think it might be the right time to start hiring some people.

Upgrade the front page news system as well, to something like CuteNews so new recruits can have easier access to update the news.

If you want a good site, having only one person run it or update it doesn't necessarily cut it.

I know a few guys who might be willing to help.

Does it matter?

I'm pretty sure nearly everyone who visits this site already knows about this.


If everyone knows, then all the more reason to update.

You guys have no frickin clue how to run a news-based fansite, apparently. >.>
