Title: To everyone who's leading a hosted project!
Post by: Styxx on November 05, 2002, 12:38:36 pm
I am posting this here to get better attention from all of you.

It's been almost a week since the announcement about the Project Census was made, and I only received replies from 11 out of the 23 projects currently hosted with us. I remind you that you have until the 13th of this month to reply, or else your project will be considered abandoned and have all its content removed.

could you tell us what "hosted projects" have responded to you and which haven't?  If you do that, then other members on the staff of that hosted project can keep harassing the leader till he replies and sends the PM to you

What is this "announcement about the project census?" Are you talking about the private forum reorganization?

GE is right. We are doing this beacuse there is no reason that old porjects that are dead keep laying around on the server

Harass your project leads anyhow.  If they haven't replied, make them.

Why don't you (since you are admins) harass them? After all this is your site, and you are the responcible ones remember? ;)

Because we sent out the email, and we gave the deadline.  It's not like people didn't get fair warning.  Besides, we don't want to be chasing after a dozen people trying to find out what's going on.

yeah, but i don't know which project leaders have and which haven't sent in the thing yet!  I dont' know if they've replied or not.

For instance, i know LtNarol and GalacticEmperor have, but i don't know about Stunaep (Lightning Marshall) and Alikchi (NTV), and i don't want to ask/harass them in case they have done it, and theni look like even more of a fool than i already am :)

Anyways, i've done mine, i know that. i was the first one to respond

You won't look foolish, i'll do it for you if you like.

i say if you are the leader of a project, post that you've responded in the respective private forum.

Post by: LtNarol on November 05, 2002, 05:41:14 pm
whoa, hold up

1. which thread are we talking about?
2. what date was all this announced?
3. the 158th is alive and kicking...well, maybe not kicking; more like frantically running
4. what exactly do you need? details on progress, overall comments, please specify
5. I never got an email about it, so don't yell at me

;)

For NW can we think of you Shrike as the project leader? In that case I'll just wander off to the NW forums again...

Why, oh why!? Do you people never actually _read_ things?? I made an announcement about forum maintinance. Styxx added an announcement to that one about the hodted project leaders reporting in. What's so hard to understand? See, right here (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/announcement.php?s=&forumid=19) - both announcements, one after the other.

And for pete's sake, what's the problem with making sure your project leader is aware of this? If you're worried that he's gonna be pestered, tell him to make a thread of his own in his private forums saying that he _did_ send the info in to Styxx - otherwise, come Nov 13th, he won't have a private forums to post in.

Sheesh!

Post by: Sandwich on November 05, 2002, 07:08:56 pm
There, I've removed the first announcement - now you can all see the cry of "hosted Project Census", plain and clear. Humph.

Oh, that is what you are talking about. Well, there is not a whole lot to say for my project in terms of staff rosters, since there is only one real staff member. :D I suppose I could use a forum description change though. Sending this now...

Just to let you know i did say when i asked out to close the forums that you can delete the incidetal warfare stuff.
Due to major time constraints and problems (like getting hacked and loosing the project) i had to close the project.

Thanks

Me: OY! DatDB is NOT dead!

English Monty Python-esque guy with a wheelbarrow full of dead FS campaings: Yes, it is.

Me: No, it isn't! It still has life! See that twitching?

DatDB campaign notes: Daddy, Daddy, don't let the guy who talks funny take me away...

Me: You see? It lives!

English guy: No, it doesn't. It'll be stone cold dead in a moment.

DatDB campaign notes: I think I'll go for a walk. I feel happy, I feel happy...

Rest of DatDB staff: Dude, Su, what's going on? Do we have HLP hosting yet?

Me: How the hell do I know? It's Lonestar who runs all the website issues! I'm in law school and don't have time to do anything but script the story! Besides, I can't program or FRED worth a damn, that's your job.

Rest of DatDB staff (except Lonestar): Oh yeah.

Lonestar: Sorry, Su, I've had Real Life issues to deal with that took priority.

Me: No sweat, pal. I just don't want to have datDB go into the dustbin of HLP Hosting History. Just do your best.

(Exeunt all, stage left, dancing merrily. In the confusion, the DatDB Notes are left behind in center stage. A small whimpering can be heard coming from the DatDB notes.)

(Enter Styxx, stage right. He is a man of average stature with a slight pot-belly, beady eyes and a sinister smirk on his face. He wears a non-descript black trenchcoat. Styxx walks to center stage, picks up the datDB notes, faces audience and grins manaically): I'm coming to take your campaigns away, ha ha. I'm coming to take your campaigns away, ha ha. I'm coming to take your campaigns away, ha ha, ho ho, hee hee... (Exit Styxx, stage right.)

------------------------

If this allegorical tale hasn't made it clear, let me state it straight out now: DATDB IS NOT DEAD. I don't know about this e-mail that Styxx is referring to, but Lonestar should. If there is ANYTHING that needs to be done as of my posting right now, e-mail me AND Lonestar again please. Lonestar should be on top of this, but if he's not responding to any needed e-mails, let me know ASAP.

Thank you, Good night!

It may be dead if Maeg is gone.
The Mars was vital to the campaign.
Well, at least Operation: Underground was completed.
Hmmm....
Maybe I'll ditch SHaS and convert Operation: Underground to FS2....
