It's a little known fact that in the Site Staff forum we hold huge debates about the future of the frontsite and how fast we have to pace our work. Sometimes we even decide everyone should just take a vacation at the same time and not do anything. What's even less known then that is in-between our technical jibber-jabber we slide in posts making fun of all moderators and their haircuts. It's not like they ever check the forum for anything bad. What good would it do? We would just reopen the threads or read the deleted posts anyway.
Loony BoB BoB doesn't do anything! He even admits to not doing anything, but that's part of his tactics. You see, he tells the members he's here to give us leadership and direction. He gives us moral support. The members think we need him. It's a good plan. It wins over the memberbase, and he never gets anything done to make us look bad, but is it enough for the SS to consider it the best?
Roogle As far as I can tell, Roogle is the webmaster of the site. Big Ogre Umaro handed it over to him years ago when he decided to run back screaming into the mountains to hide from all of your abuse. Webmaster isn't a great way to convince the staff you're involved, but he doesn't make it hard on the SS either. Heck, he pretty much gives us free reign to do whatever it is we got to do. He even let's BoB boss us around.
Spatvark Spatvark has probably coded more pages than anybody in the history of the SS. The thing about that is he's been around forever so it's okay. When he's not busy keeping the masses happy he's busy making fun of us in our forum. Then one day he decided to leave. Again. Never to be heard from again. Again. Will the rest of the SS view his leaving in a fury as a guiding light and inspiration, or will we just continue to be an unchained slave to our love?
Azar Hi! Ho! Azar the frog here reporting with the Eyes On News. Azar is our most productive news reporter. He does one good job of it too. I don't know about you guys, but I'm always happy when I see a new news report on the front site. I guess I'm just a big nerd caring about Final Fantasy news like that. Anyway, for a while Azar was doing too good of a job with the news. We forced him to take a vacation for a month in order to slow him down. Now he's back.
DK Over here in SS land we like to call DK Gigglestick. I'll leave it up to you to figure out if it's because he's always laughing at us or if it's because we're always laughing at him. Kyono(DK) is our other news reporter. He reports the news. That's what he does. Why does he do it? I don't know. Why would anyone volunteer for this political massacre? All I know is that for being on the SS news team, Kyono(DK) is living the dream!
Baloki Baloki doesn't know what he wants. I'm on the team! I'm off the team! I'm going to pretend I'm on the team but really not be! What in the world is going on here?! Well, it confuses us and it confuses you, so he must be doing something right. Baloki and Sepho were the two who wrote the code and templates to make the frontsite look the way it does, so that has to say something.
theundeadhero I don't have a chance in hell! I don't wear my Site Staff title so the members don't even know I'm on the team. A couple months back I coded something like six pages for the Final Fantasy XII section and that's just going to prove too much for the other SS to handle. Maybe next month I'll code six more pages out of spite!
Flying Mullet Flying Mullet is a true master of the Site Staff political agenda. With quotes like, "I'll do it later", and "Blame Loony BoB!" he's got this game down. He was a huge help with the site redesign and has always been on hand to fix something up real quick or hand out advice. With all that in mind all I can say is that I'm really hungry right now and I wish I had a sammich.
eternalshiva If there's one thing that makes me upset, it's when you members spell my name with capital letters or put spaces in it. That's why when I wrote eternalshiva's name just now I made sure I did it right! I'll be sure to spell it right all through this speech. eternalshiva is our graphics design lady. When we need a picture made, resized, suggested, or just about anything else she'll get it done. This makes us happy. This makes the members happy because they like to look at images. Everybody is happy. For this we salute you, eternalshiva.
AND THE WINNER IS AZAR WITH THREE VOTES. Keep it up Eyes On News reporter.
