"seed you cultivate into being confirmation as your position of Archduke of the FG&R subforum."
How would you like suggestions to ToadyOne be handled by the community? Perhaps an open discussion in a thread where anyone can post their opinion? I'd have no qualms about participating in a similar thread started by someone else, if I had an opinion on the matter. Yes, I considered this worth bringing up, cripes, it's been 11 years, lol.
Edit: If anything, the title I'd hold would be "Archsecretary". I've just focused on what needed to be done, I'm too disagreeable for politics.
Good gods, man. MoP was trying to exaggerate, not making an actual suggestion. You are not the Archsecretary of FG&RP. There is no Archsecretary. There does not
need to be an Archsecretary. Or any other form of leadership or management. FG&RP is a functional anarchy, and has been for many years. People post games, people play games. End of story.
Edit Edit: I would be willing to delay things... if someone wants to take a stab at improving the Gaming Block, and seeing how it goes for a month... a new "Game Design Discussion and Review" thread. Otherwise it's the best we got.
How benevolent, your lordship, that you deign to give us a chance.
Great! Night and day, infact it lasted a couple months before it got stickied(where before usage was low). It's been up for 3+ years and had many many games posted both on the doc and to this thread. So if we are using it as an example then it is definitely a PRO example.
Looking back through it, it gets a few posts a month, tops. Which is more than Gaming Block, admittedly. But it's not exactly a highly-active thread.
Nah, being shy doesn't take away your right to an opinion.
No, but it does give your opinion less weight if you can't be bothered to explain to the people opposed to the idea why you think it is a good idea. Again,
literally nobody has posted in support. Shy? I suppose it's possible that all 8 pro-voters are so shy they daren't post their reasons for approving of the idea, but I posit that it is far more likely that they are simply not that invested in the idea. If there are any fervent supporters of the idea reading this, please, share your opinion.
He's much more engaged in the goings-on in the forum than you give him credit..
Being deeply involved in managing the forum would not be to Toady's credit, dude. Toady is a game developer, not a forum admin. He's made it clear that he doesn't want to get bogged down in running the forum. Remember Various Nonsense? It was a board on the forum that grew to be so toxic that rather than waste time moderating it, Toady just decided to nuke it. I'm not saying that bugging Toady with frivolous requests on occasion is going to cause him to nuke FG&RP- just illustrating that Toady really isn't interested in forum drama.
