Yeah, I plan on making the second one in early December, after the YModB.

If you want to be in it, get two people to nominate you, and fast, when the nomination thread opens.

But since I joined this club to discuss [i]YCM[/i], let's relate the YMB to YCM. I feel as if YMB gives everyone a good stance on popularity, and the best part about it, it isn't General popularity. If it was General popularity, Clair would have been first, I would have been second, Ice would have maybe been third, et cetera. Essentially, it would have been quite obvious. The YMB took us in the route of [i]forum[/i] popularity. Tainted was first because he is active in C&O and RP; Saturn was second because he was active in Custom Cards (did not say CC to respect the paranoia of Lovely CC). It felt less biased and less predictable, which is why I feel as if the YMB2 is much-needed to show people that there are forums outside of General. I could sense the shock when Clair lost to Tainted Black, but hey, a lot more people know you in RP than they would in General.

Not implying that RP is better than General (oh, but it is), nor implying that we should all flock to RP to get noticed, but it really takes a broader view on the forum instead of the mentality that all General people are stuck in; that mentality is that the forum [i]is[/i] General.

Right, some balance needs to be achieved. I just feel as thought the YMB is a good way for Generalists (like myself) to get a good view at the other forums of YCM, and not be stuck in the mindset that only General people are allowed to be popular (or unpopular, by context).

I guess I'm a bit of an ass in that regard. I wouldn't say this in a bragging way, but Icy oftentimes asks me about my opinion on Custom Card rules. But I'm always under the mindset that "I'm not in CC, I don't care what he does to CC, since it doesn't affect me; and by extension, he can make the rules as strict or as lenient as he wants".

That trophy looks mighty nice in your signature. I personally love how the GFXer used bold(ish) colors so it stands out. :3

Yeah look outside the General box, my clothing store in Showcase- *whoops* :P

But you're right about that, it's only because General has the most drama so people tend to remember what happens there better. ;)

Also a little publicity for this is needed:
http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/227620-ycm-secrets-submission-post/
If anyone is interested, I'm looking for banners, avis, just stuff to make it look prettier. Participating is easy, you can b**** about the mods, b**** about the bad cards in CC or maybe you just noticed some things now but feel stupid for pointing it out? All anonymous.

...Yeah.

Derp, total restructure I want penned down to be formal and detailed. That's my base plan anyway, and yes it'll come with a new mod (hopefully along with the currently existing ones) to handle all the cleaning and changing infrastructure; if not I'll do that and the new mod would handle day to day things...

And yes, it covers the changes this thread was made to solve (supposedly). So lets see if you all actually pay attention and can say something constructive regarding such things. (And yes I said that as a pseudo-insult). Meanwhile I'll nudge Rinne about a replacement RP Mod.

I've had an idea, and this seems like a good place to discuss it.

I was thinking about "second in command" members in each section. The mods of the section appoint a member, and make a sticky or announcement about it.

Think of it as hall monitors. And there would be one for each SECTION. Not 1 just for General, 1 for General, 1 for Clubs, 1 for Polls, etc. And it'd go for the whole forum.

Seems like a massive change for the forum, but it's just a thought. What do you think?
