Hey All

Just a quick update to let you know that the committee will be in an important meeting with college officials on the evening of Tuesday 28 March 2006.

It is hoped that Mikado will be back soon (relatively speaking) after that meeting.

So, keep your fingers crossed and keep on smiling

22 March 2006,
Mikado Representative.

Just saw this now, and thought some of ye may be intrested in knowing whats going on.

College officials: Hi Mikado

Mikado: Hi College officals

College officials: Don't bother paying your hosted charges, you won't be needing them.

Mikado: Oh, okay. omg lol aig campo

Dude, I was telling the dude that the meeting wasn't untill next week, and not in the past, as he looked like he was waiting for a reply.

How pathetic is appearing on every thread about Mikado even though you're oh so above it (not that nobody liked you and you can't get over it)?

In all fairness Placebo, they're right. You really fall over yourself to tell everyone, every opportunity you get how much you hate it, which seems a bit forced.
You remind me of that really openly and viciously homophobic father in American Beauty, who turns out to be gay himself.

trekkypj

Ah for cryin out loud...

If Mikado went wrong, it was because the users were given too much leeway. The guys running the show got pillared by some for being too heavy, others for not being consistent, and yet another group for not giving them enough freedom.

It is ONLY a message board. It is so trivial that it isn't worth moaning about. Mikado went off the rails because the powers behind it tried to please everyone and ended up pleasing nobody. The other issues that cropped up, all the arguments and pathological hatreds of the society are a side issue and are symptoms of this problem.

I'm not defending the failures the soc experienced in running the boards, but I do know that the people running them were decent people who got pillared from every direction everytime something went wrong. And the users are decent folk, mostly. A lot of people got treated badly over the whole debacle on all sides.

But it no longer matters who did what to whom. As far as I'm concerned, what is done is done and the past can't be changed, so leave it behind, that's what I say. I think that all of us, myself included, have said enough about Mikado to write a heavy tome on the subject.

Can we move on, please? There is more to life, and all that.

EDIT: And yes, I am aware that I said more than most about Mikado and the *shutdown*... that doesn't mean I can't say it's time to move on.

NotWormBoy

How informative of a message to the users.

Really lets us know where we're at.

i dont hate mikado, i just hated the clique. Its far better now.

Fridge

Did you post on the wrong thread Trekkypj? Cos noone was really discussing Mikado in depth.

trekkypj

No, Fridge, just venting my stress from essays... I meant to write a short bit but then I saw mloc's prophecy of what would happen at the mikado/college meet. I tried to stop typing, honest.

Apologies all.

mloc123

it was a vision, it came to me the other day when I was having a ****.

No, that it took so many words to do it. I hate inflicting long posts on people

shroomfox

So what happened with this meeting? Did the University molest Mikado and leave it crying in a back alley somewhere?

I don't really, seriously hate it, just wasn't my cup of tea. And I'd like to hear what happens to it because I'm curious. Fair enough?

You seem to really hate mikado. Even to the point where you spend a good deal of time and half your posts on these boards re: mikado.
Have you nothing better to do?

Our meeting with the VP went very well, and things are looking up for Mikado. We're in the process of working out the finer aspects of some changes which we won't elaborate on for now, and after that, we should be good to go. At the very least, expect another update - fingers crossed for more than that - within a week to two weeks.

New update on the front page. Looks like the college are letting it back.

Lolz.

Edit: It's not that I wussed out, after careful consideration I decided that it may have been deemed offensive. I wouldn't want to offend anyone here so I felt it was my duty to replace it with something more positive.

Seeing that everone is talking about Mikado, the reason Mikdo was shut down was becasue

1.You were not banned untill you got 10 warnings, I think it should be 3 strikes your are out. Ban the person for a month, the it they get banned again they are banned for life.

2.NO DOUBLE IDENITIES[\B].This is if you get baned you can't come back, with a new user name .

3.Posting of porn was only given 1 warning( could be wrong there).Any posting of PORN should result in an automatic life ban.


One more point I think they should have is a blocking system so you can block (l)user that you don't like .That is if someone block their post is obsrtuced from you, some thing like AntiOnline.com has.

mloc123

No, Mikado was shut down because people didn't see the funny side of Scat... if you can't laugh at scat what can you laugh at?

Well, that was kinda the point of the scat picture in question...

I really hope we don't have to read everything before it can go up. That'd blow.

However, I have heard from a trusted source, that Mikado will have a secret forum for all porn and scat related issues*, ala Room 101 for ripping pieces out of people. Class or what?

*Its possible I made this up in its entirety.
