Yup, that's right, we have a new Admin. Lonestar is joining our team, so pay attention to him.

He'll be assuming primary responsibility over the FSDoc Wiki, so any requests regarding it should be forwarded to him. That doesn't mean he won't be doing general admin work, though, as he's a full administrator just like all other HLP staff members, and will be moderating the forums and website as all of us do.

In the interest of civility I'll say congratulations. :)

In the interest of the community I'll say, any more and it'll be a police state ;)

Please remind me to achieve world domination.

Hey now! None of that...
Title: New staff at Hard Light Productions
Post by: Fineus on July 21, 2004, 01:43:32 pm
No no, you don't understand - here we could have a thousand admins and the same threads would get locked. Having more just makes the process more efficient... it doesnt mean more banages/locks :)

At any rate, congrats Lonestar - I've said it before but what the heck. Great to have you on board.

Glad to see you've got an avatar now Cet. The irony of course being that if you didn't no one would have a FREDzone one now that Lonestar's has been upgrade :D

Lonestar. Congrats on being made admin. :)

So this is the part where we see how long it takes to drive the newbie admin insane, right?
Title: New staff at Hard Light Productions

that comes after teh branding......

but I decided not to torture Lonestar instead i give him a security card to my HLP Overservatory.

But not nearly enough for the amount of spa-err, posting this site gets. ;)

Oh, and on a side note: Yays! I'm not the newest admin anymore! Woohoo! :D

On top of that - people do do stuff other than admin the boards.

You're ignoring the fact that there's only 3 of them who do anything.

No dude, didn't you hear? They skipped that for me after I threatened them with my Browning 0.5" when I saw the effect the thong had on poor Styxx.

The Wiki has beeen assessed last nite and i have found it quite easy to edit the formatting. Im looking forward to meeting with everyone on the Wiki soon. Ill be posting something about it later today or tomorrow once im sure i have all the information.

As for not lasting, i find that hard to imagine. Ive been registered here since 2001, and have only now gotten the title of administrator and i applied several times in the past. Leaving now is like not drinking water after coming out of a desert dry.

Im not going anywhere, im actually still looking for the first PWN victim, but everyone is on their best behaviour lately.
Ahh the VBB, i was younger then, and not as smart. Ill try not to compare my days on the VBB to the days im going to have here.

All wiki related posts should be made in the SOON to come Wiki Update Post which will ask the community for input and suggestions on the Wiki.

I plan to have all wiki work done by the end of next week.

As for owning Raa, i have better punishments for willing participants such as wearing a crusty pink thong that was passed down from generations of forum abusers. Its so crusty it chaffs you in places you didnt know you had. Along with this comes your own personal flash video of you dancing around in this stinky crusty thong.

Being owned is so old and past tense, admins need to get more creative in their punishments, ill do my best to make you all squirm!

It's a picture of a man beating a seal to death. Of course it got me banned.

Was heading towards that anyway, but I see no need for it really. It's more of a complement really, saying that the admins simply can't keep him out.

The ( * )( * ) nick from the last ban was fun to see browsing the forums though. That one even got to like 25 posts before getting banned.

Lonestar, FYI the admins can post on threads that have already been locked - it's easier to lock the thread then post - stops things like what kasperl just did :)
