I'd just like to see a quick synopsis page of freespace terms back (like a mini-wiki minus the everyone can edit), maybe another small campaign list with links, like before.

(hint hint)

EDIT:Would a dumpster board be anything worth something? Like where all locked threads (minus stickied) older than two weeks are sent?

HLP3.0 happened, and the site lost functionality
And nobody bothered to fix it?

It was removed because it caused too much traffic.

No, HLP 2.0 was removed because Fury wanted somebody to upgrade it.  Unfortunately, he neglected to arrange for an upgrader first. :sigh:

Do you think I'm so gone as to not even read the forums every now and then? Blame resigned admin for any bad decisions that were done, it is after all so easy to say that he did all the decisions by himself without consulting the rest.

What a load of bull****, Goober.

* jr2 was wondering if Goober's password has been compromised or something... even if that statement was true, it doesn't sound like Goober to dump blame on someone.  :nervous:

You were the one who was primarily responsible for it.  Styxx was inactive, and nobody else was doing anything, so you forged ahead and started making changes.  The discussions are right there in the admin forum.

Don't accuse me of casting blame; I'm merely stating what happened.  You've provided lots of valuable service, and made some very good changes, but this happens to not be one of them.


Then why can't you bring it back? :(
We (primarily Tolwyn) are currently attempting to do so.

Exactly the point. The discussions are right there in the admin forum. I provided the options and means to get it done, it doesn't mean that responsibility of the decision to replace the mainpage rests solely on my shoulders. I also gave you chances to preview what the mainpage would be changed into. You had all the time to voice out your disagreement and convince the rest not to go ahead with it.

I always knew you were incompetent and should have had your admin privileges revoked. But to realize you'd go as far as this to make up for your own reputation caused by your own mistakes around here.

Found an old backup of HLP 2.0 from my old server HDD two days ago. Thought of uploading it somewhere, but what do I care, I don't have any ties to this community anymore.

You didn't merely provide the options and means to get it done, you did it, almost entirely single-handedly.  I believe it was frustration with the "government-by-committee" nature of the admin forum (a frustration that I sometimes share) that led you to do it yourself; but if you do it yourself, then its success or failure rests solely on your shoulders.

The current front page was originally billed as a "temporary" page until a full content management system could be set up.  That's a historical fact, not a personal opinion.  It's no more an assignment of blame than it would be to say that my stated release dates for TVWP or STR turned out to be premature by at least three years.

You seem to be laboring under the mistaken impression that I build myself up by tearing others down.  That's hardly a game I care to play; and even if it were, it would be fruitless, since reality is reality regardless of how I feel about it.  My reputation stands or falls entirely on its own -- the reputations of others have no bearing on it.

Uh-huh... :blah:

HLP 2.0 isn't a top priority, anyway...

If having it ASAP also means having discussion like this one, we can forget it. There are no problems...the site runs, the forums work fine and hosted projects are fine, too.

**** Pirate day! I can't understand!

My point is:

No HLP 2.0 > Admins arguing for HLP 2.0

*wonders how hard he can threaten admins who've been around longer than himself*

Guys this really isn't worth the argument. I doubt most of the people on this board are buying that HLP 2.0 was removed because Fury was incompetent or that Goober was saying that he is. So basically this is just a storm in a teacup.


Anyway I'm going to lock this before it gets any more heated.

You know, as admins they can still continue their argument in locked threads. :nervous:

Yeah but it should subtly persuade them not to. Or at least calm down. :)
