Diode you pmd me and said I could have the site

[Ghost1]

Give it to me

[~RustyGunZ~]

Diode

[Diode]

Welcome home. Please dictate your terms.

[Ghost1]

You selling it to me? Or just wanting me to run the ship?

If it's the latter I'm gonna need full admin cp access and also obv I would need full control in choosing my team to bring the ship back a float.

[Destroyer]

Obv

[Barcotic]

You can have full admin over Disc and User Edits/Bans. In your absence since my first offer, we have already placed new admins to run the topical and battle sides of the house respectively.

[Ghost1]

I need full admin in all of the sections.

An yea cred & Adonis are cool to mod the other sections but I need to be able to change that if and when it becomes necessary

Basically I need to be making the decisions for the site as a whole

[Diablo]

to be honest I kinda prefer our current setup where the boards elder statesmen make collective decisions

[Ghost1]

Yea nah I don't want to be part of the current collective team

Yall ruining/ruined this site

I'm not coming back to rebuild this place without full control

I don't even really want to kno diode exists unless there's a tech issue honestly


If that doesn't work it's fine really, time an effort saved from my days for real

[Split Eight]

Repped

[~RustyGunZ~]

Yeah I'm not understanding the whole people cover certain areas access wise it's weird

[sral]

lmao why does a hospital need specialists in different areas when they could save money and have one megalomaniac appointed to run the entire thing with basic knowledge in each individual department?

good question

[sral]

WHERE THE FUCK YOU BEEN THO, B?

[Hush]

Let him run it


I still have my admin cop acesss and will make sure shit don't get too wild westy

[Ghost1]

Ive had admin accesses before, I have no plans to ban people or mess w peoples names.....none of that shit interests me at all

an im not saying I want to mod every section...cred doing an awesome job running the nbl and idk about the AOWL but im sure Adonis doing fine

if people want to mod tourneys....such as yourself lars ....you run awesome tourneys man....you wanna run a tourney cool lemme kno

but otherwise we need to streamline the shit

current team not doing shit anyways.....people only care about this shit when its time to make changes.....yall been in control all this time an haven't done anything

give me the keys

let me make netcees great again/

What you need, and I've always said this, is a BOARD CHARACTER (Face/Heel) that does all the announcements and makes threads, and a lackey (usually someone neither liked/despised) that will do the hard graft that goes unnoticed really like an Asylum/Adonis etc

Kind of a straight guy/fall guy that comedian double acts have

The AOWL needs a big board personality to make it something SPECIAL though adonis/asylum so a good job don't get me wrong

they just aren't a "draw" to create interest and hype around something

[sral]

This isn't a fucking hospital it's a forum for a dying hobby

lmao weren't you middle-management at some department store or some shit Seth?

same principle applied here

I'm not gonna ask the gay guy from the women's lingerie section anything to do with cuts of meat at the delicatessen

i mean i thought it was clear that i am the face and the interest draw.....i plan to generate interest in all of the sections and keep on mods to do grunt work

you not saying anything im not

just not going to have a team of people to pow wow with when its time to delegate


an im fully knowledgable and have personally run every section on this site including topical league and open mic, so your hospital/specialist analogy while accurate doesn't apply when in reality im more fully capable of keeping any single section thriving on this forum than any other member here is.


not really even sure what you are opposing here....or what you are not wanting...you want to have input on forum trends and direction that's fine?

as it stands you have a handful of people not doing anything

[sral]

lmao I'm not really against anything, it's Diodes board to do with as he pleases

my objective is solely to disagree with everyone in every thread, ever

[Witty]

Let me make decisions plz won't let you down thnx.

That applies to mods tbat do the mags and shit but admins and supermods are specifically overseeing everything on every forum ever

the board runs better with a hands off approach though from the admins

do you not remember the dark days of @gow and namix?

I do

[sral]

Destroyer will be so happy to see this thread

[sral]

veritas you no longer have to slum it at rb

thank me later

[Destroyer]

I am happy. I assume I will inherit the wealth of the nepotism

[Diode]

those "mods" had to be turned into SMs because the record field is a user edit.

[~RustyGunZ~]

Okay I'm done arguing that every forum in txt history has had multiple admins with full access

[Geno]

what have we to lose, honestly?

[Diode]

Okay I'm done arguing that every forum in txt history has had multiple admins with full access

you all do. i still don't know what you're talking about, your original account has full access.

[~RustyGunZ~]

you all do. i still don't know what you're talking about, your original account has full access.

I deleted that account in protest to 2crip

But I'm speaking more on you sayong you'll give bags limited access

[Witty]

SHUT IT THE FUCK UP SHUT UR FUCK MOUTH UP

I decide that ok I will shut up.

[Ghost1]

So what's up Diode

[Diode]

I deleted that account in protest to 2crip

But I'm speaking more on you sayong you'll give bags limited access

what i need bags for:

provocative disc threads
user edits i get constant pm requests about
approving new accounts
coming up with tournaments and gimmicks

what i don't need bags for:

running nbl
running aowl
antagonizing people outside of disc

the current format has worked out great for ensuring there's no fuckery and butthurt affecting the results and participation in the leagues. i'd like to keep it that way. not accusing bags of having a desire to run roughshod over the leagues, but keeping them in their isolated boxes seems to have good results vs. past efforts.

this kid is due any day now. i need someone to handle the boring stuff and getting disc going. i don't need a namix or gow (as so eloquently put earlier).

[Seyance]

bags is right. some people need to put personal ego aside.

putting egos aside are the only thing that could save this forum. not just admins tho, that falls to the user base as well, it's actual that watershed moment where people need to throw out those old grudges and work together to rebuild this or na. the foundation of netcees is still clearly there. certain people are stuck in a cycle of associating netcees with negativity so that's all they offer.. i know i was like that for years, fake ass grudges just for the sake of it.

the admin/mod team needs to be clearly outlined and those mods in charge of various areas should bring ideas they have for the area, think outside the standard mundane rap forum shit.

i will offer my graphic design services forward for the admin team/mods that need something going forward like magazine headers, tourney banners and even branding for the forum. the t-shirt idea was great.. i think it was hush that brought it up, this should happen.. it makes the site money and grows the brand, netcees is essentially a brand after all and we don't do enough to maximize reach. typically a hiphop forum's approach for new members would be to spam existing busy sites. imagine a burger king only advertised to people who went to mcdonalds, in mcdonalds.. it's just not a strategy capable of getting the significant results necessary. every market at the moment is over saturated, this market netcees is in.. isn't.

i'll mentioned this a while ago, but.. i think with the personalities here, knowledge of hiphop, poetry..etc there is a lot of interesting characters with obviously a lot to say. why not bring parts of this forum bang up to date.. i feel like there is scope for a netcees podcast. a particular team hosts, people can be on there as special guests.. or even call in over the phone, they could host freestyles, live battles on air.. do round-ups of "netcees monthly", break down battles, spotlight moments in forum history, talk about the biggest points happening on here and on a wider scale as well. hosting the media at the top of the front page on netcees. it could definitely appeal to those that are not already here too that may stumble across it on youtube or where ever. i think it would be a big draw for people on other forums, i think it would get things popping a bit.

just a couple things anyway.

[Ghost1]

Yea see your idea of what is successful is wrong Diode

That's the issue

I could Jumpstart the disc for you sure

But with you still pulling all the strings in the background there's still going to be holes

Site traffic is literally at its all time lowest since you took over period

PR completely dead

You need me to run the entire site. Bottom line. I know what's best for the site better then you.


I have no desire to fit into your blueprint


So if that's where we stand then I'm out

i wrote a thing here but have opted against posting it.

to be clear: i have no interest in "pulling strings" - what i want is a group effort, not a single tyrant. all i plan to do is keep the lights on going forward.

disc is dead. the leagues are thriving. i'd rather that than turning into late-era upn /b clone (which is where we ended up prior to your departure).

not going to address the rest of your nonsense.

if you want to run the day to day and stay out of the leagues, you're welcome to it. it doesn't sound like you want that.

[Ghost1]

I mean idk what you think I am going to do or even want to do w the leagues ? All I'm saying is in need access to be able to mod/demod people in certain circumstances... such as let's say Cred gets a phone call from a rival gang on a giant stack of rubber banded cash and is then assassinated in the mean streets if chicago....I need to be able to replace him etc

Also there are other sections here aside from the 2 leagues that are completely dead that need moderated that I need to find mods for an mod sum1 etc etc and so on

If I pester your league participants. .that are more familiar with me then u anyhow then you can simply take away my abilities....obv

I never said you wouldn't be allowed to do that though. All I said is I didn't want you interfering in the leagues since they are finally stable. Somehow that turned into "stop limiting me / stop pulling the strings / I need total control".

[Ghost1]

Ok my understanding was I'd only have abilities in this forum.

I came back because of the nbl....I've no desire to meddle with it.....or the topical league

So ok

Seems like we are mostly in agreement here?

[Diode]

here's what i am going to do:

1) i am going to back up the site and database to cover my ass

2) admin you with the same powers as all the other admins (who aren't limited in any way other than viewing the admin log (it causes conflict) and running direct sql queries (for security purposes - this server hosts multiple sites off the same db)).

3) disable the User PM reader because it's also caused trouble in the past

3) hope this isn't all some hollandaise fuckery because i really don't feel like having to restore a backup

do with that what you will.

[Ghost1]

Ok

I'm not trying to delete nc but watever lol

I just post and occasionally jump in with a bit of modding as and when required

the board generally speaking runs itself with the other minions in place

maybe once ppl have had account here for a year and a half, they could get certain mod privileges so the board couldn't be self-policing?

to be honest, we usually meet in the mod lounge and collectively agree on who to put in place and whatever to cover the diff forums

obv diodes decision is final, but generally, he listens to what we have to say

all of this could have been kept out of the public disc forum

just saying

[sral]

lmao Bags he believes it's a setup because after you "left" he thought me and Knuck were going to destroy this site or that we had setup a new board for everyone

lord knows why he was so paranoid, but that's the truth

tbh I stuck around but Knuck deleted himself and left also

so it looked madd suspect I admit

but that's why he is weary

I forever keep it a pound
