[/quote] All joking aside, if there was an election for a 3rd admin, it WOULD be a popularity contest. That's what an election is. People who vote aren't informed. They don't research what needs to be done. The candidates tell them what's up, they take it for what it is, and vote. If you noticed, Obama didn't win because of his stance on the issues. It was because people were sick of Republicans, he wasn't a Republican, he came off as Mr. Nice Guy You Can Have A Drink With (a trait idiot voters look for,) and he would be the first black president (actually, he's mixed race, half-black and half-white, so hands off my president, Dedronte and Shaniqua.) What was I saying again? Oh yeah. Holding an election for 3rd admin with the YCM community would just be a popularity contest and we'd probably end up with.

J-Max Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Why not just make it like the YMB and make it a Elimination style Contest Of course i'm being sarcastic here as that would be the worst possible outcome.

CrabHelmet Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm going to make one vote in favor of WhirlwindKnight for new admin, and by new admin I mean new banned member, and mine is the only vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ярополк Пономарёв Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Knowing YCMaker, he'll make no other Admins or just choose someone else without asking anybody else. I said it once and I'll say it again: I can make a second YCM that looks similar, using the same forum software, [i]possibly[/i] add the card maker to it as well, with an active Admin. I stopped progress on it because I would need approval from the Moderators if it were to be made and advertised on YCM or not. I also need to know from the Mods if anything needs to be done to it differently than how YCM did it. If any Mods would like to get this on the road, PM me.

Ярополк Пономарёв Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 We don't need to convince everyone, we just use it as a second site. And it wouldn't be broken, trust me. Also, my plain is not to match it to the tee, it's to make a second-place for people on YCM to chat. Not to duplicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 So has anyone pointed out that is has been officially a month since YCMaker last even checked to see if this place exists? See, I never checked his last log in thing often, but I don't think it ever got that bad. Normally he'd at least log on to pretend he is doing something. This is something totally different.

CrabHelmet Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Pinned for being the most important topic on the forum. Hey, YCMaker, if you're ever willing to actually address the issue of your total inadequacy as an admin instead of sticking your fingers in your ears, please note that even non-moderators are acutely aware of how desperately a new admin is needed.

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 In the end, promoting more admins is equivocal to promoting Super Mods that have the extra power to promote more Mods and Super Mods. I don't mind the current degree to which posts are enforced. Frankly I can't help but question my rationale in having supported this. If there were ever active admins I'd more than likely resent them vehemently. Any faults that can be found with the board's layout are hardly in urgent need of correction and so any changes that other admins could make would be formed by their own interests/whimsy. Any problems with the card maker couldn't be solved by another admin unless they were able to work with its coding. Public voting on moderators would just result in the alienation of popular members. There's more to be lost in having more admins than gained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not fighting an evil overlord that needs defeating, we're fighting entropy. And as for the card maker... why wouldn't a third admin be able to work on the card maker? We could easily have had Xyz's a year ago. [quote name='~ P O L A R I S ~' timestamp='1334479356' post='5914327'] Public voting on moderators would just result in the alienation of popular members.

[/quote] I'm taking a Web Design class at the moment, and I think that if I had the appropriate programs on my laptop, I could add the Xyz option to the card maker if there was a suitable card image that could be used.
