Initially I wanted to title this as 'From sacked G-Mod to the newly crowned Admin- Daone's success story' but then reverted to a more modest sounding title. Gosh, with responsibilities, you have to be careful, innit?
Anyway, so babas and babies, this might come as a surprise to you but your rulers have decided to take a backseat for now and pass on the reins of administration to a another person- ME. Though they might cite the reasons as laxity or lack of time, I would like to believe they've done that for the greater good and they discovered the greater good to be me (This is in essence to what I like to believe. Don't break my sweet pink illusionary bubble of self indulgent thoughts ). And so now that I have been entrusted this huge responsibility *corn-cheese alert* I would want to represent you, O dear subjects. And for that, you need to function as actively as me. Democracy is never for getting redundant, is it?
I got some proposals which I would like to put before you.
1. What I see on the forum that's been happening is only two main sections are active- Forum Games and Anime/Manga/Graphic Novels. I understand that games are lighthearted fun and most of the people here are migrants from Animestan and other forums but Amalganation here is an audio-visual forum people. We have loads and I mean LOADS of other equally, if not better, stuff to discuss. So you all are requested to generously contribute. As far as the games are concerned, we are barely short of going the kiss/slap/hug/date/wait way.
2. I am thinking of starting a 'Hall of Fame' thingy in which members will be commemorated under 'Pick of the week' and 'Post of the month', which I hope will enhance the number of posts, ensuring quality.
3. Who doesn't like bonuses, right? You may beg to differ outwardly and might intone 'lame' but c'mon everybody wants some more rep points. Currently, rep points are awarded sometimes randomly and mostly for nice posts. I say extend the norm- Each member starting 5 new threads will be awarded 1 rep. But yes, tripe will not be encouraged.
4. One tacky thing I found about the Admins the moment I joined is that they were very strict. I won't pinpoint anything and I do realize that its for the forum's own good but somehow, I think it leaves a bad taste when your threads are locked or deleted or you get a public bashing. So rest assured people, I am gonna be a relaxed one here (don't confuse it with lax) and you have all the freedom to discuss whatever you want. But please have a self lame-o-meter and don't bring the threads straight outta Orkut.
5. This place has given me a lot, trust me when I say that. It's helped me develop perspective-wise and even otherwise by providing a friendly platform of expression. There are loads of smart-ass people here (Check out the Colosseum and you'll know what I am saying) and I don't want them to be wasted which might happen if you members are not active enough. Chatbox and forum games are nice but that shouldn't be the only things that form Amalga. Debates and all are personally highly respected and encouraged- I am an Argumentative Indian after all. I bet you are too
All in all, we have to buck up big time for our own good. Don't hold anything back, just let go and as they say *super-duper corn cheese alert* Cry out loud, for cryin' out loud- cuz your voice matters!
P.S. Anybody, nay, everybody is wanted to comment on this post and give me more suggestions.
