How come I got un-signed up? Sign me up again!

Word/s.
Everyone is free to nominate members for the hall of fame. It's the committee's job to vote and induct members. I'm not really sure if the staff will want to be involved. I hope they don't mind.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
There's no doubt you'll have your own perceptions on things that happened in the past four months or so...but how many people/things that we'll be taking about for the Hall of Fame will have posted/happened in the past four months?Originally Posted by boris no no

.....well the list dosn't seem long when you look at it.
but anyways.
well done to jojo and theundeadhero
1. Psy - I'm glad to see you're willing to bitch about something, though you're not willing to do anything about it. I'm also glad to see you asked for my reasoning before claiming I just whined and was elitist - oh wait, you didn't. Yay for immaturity.Hey wow, Raistlin's whining actually worked on something? It's a good job Proto's not on staff, or he'd be begging for mercy right about now.
YAY ELITISM FOR THE WIN! ALL HAIL OLDBIES!
If you want more post-'02 members on the committee, then you should have told more post-'02 members to sign up. We accepted almost all of them, if they had been around for longer than 8 months.
You weren't unsigned-up, Maxico. Proto, ed, and myself went over all the volunteers, and chose out of those. Not everybody was accepted.How come I got un-signed up? Sign me up again!
Isn't bitching about this doing something about it? Although I do believe bitching is talking about something behind its back, whereas I have been very open in my criticisms.
And I didn't need to ask for your reasoning as you made a lovely post about it. Yay for reading skills. Whether or not I believed it is another matter altogether
Who says I want more post-'02 members on the committee? I don't recall saying that. I recall saying hurray for oldbies and elitism. If your committee holds such beliefs, then surely it looks like you have my support.
When that's the only possible course of action besides "do nothing," then yes. In this case, no.Isn't bitching about this doing something about it? Although I do believe bitching is talking about something behind its back, whereas I have been very open in my criticisms.
Obviously it does not hold such beliefs - as I have explained time and time again.Who says I want more post-'02 members on the committee? I don't recall saying that. I recall saying hurray for oldbies and elitism. If your committee holds such beliefs, then surely it looks like you have my support.
Proto...how could you ;_; I was a member in 2000! As I look at the list, it occurs to me that I need to hunt down more newbies...ish to be a part of this great undertaking. When looking at the years up there maybe we should go for something more of a 2 per year deal. We already have 2 from 1999, 2000 and three from 2001. No one from 2002 and only 1 for each following. It is just my crazy math like brain wanting a pattern of some sort.
Anyways I encourge everyone to join...except oldbies. There are far too many oldbies already.
There should be more older members than newer members - not for any sort of elitism but for the obvious reason that older members typically would know more.Proto...how could you ;_; I was a member in 2000!

I also don't think we need to accept any more members based on their join-date. The best member for the job is the best member for the job. I would take an active 2-year-old member over a relatively inactive 4-year-old one - but also vice-versa(active 4-year-old over inactive 2-year-old).
I removed the years, as that seems to bring attention to the problem.

I'm a one-year old. Gaa Gaa. Baby burp.
there was a picture here
I am not saying that there should not be more older members than younger members. I think there needs to be more older but right now it is bastardizingly one-sided(I hope I spelled my made up word right).
I agree that the best member for the job is the best member for the job but I would like to see a few more younger members join on up simply because it adds diversity and a different perspective.
Not really - different people add different perspectives. Just because Jojo and I joined days apart from each other doesn't mean we'll share the same opinion on various situations.
But your view point and mind set will always be different than that who has not had as many different experiences here than you. That is what new people add. A perspective that us oldbies can no longer see...of course that doesn't include Loony BoB: The eternal newbie
That makes no sense - they're valuable in that they won't know as much? That they won't have their own perspectives about more situations? That just makes them more of a hindrance.But your view point and mind set will always be different than that who has not had as many different experiences here than you.
Or is the hinderance the other way around? You don't have to agree with why I think young members are a good idea. I think lack of experience is a good thing. They don't see the board through the eyes of jaded oldbies. Instead to get their vote you would have to explain why they are so great or not so great. I think its a good idea.
For my example of inexperince is awesome I point my finger at Kawaii.
Exactly - we would have to explain it to them. They would not have their own individual opinion, memories, or perception of the person themself - they would only have what we give them. In that way, their votes are based on second-hand information. They would not bring any new information, any new perspective, to the discussion.
