    Castor you are playing a blinder on Humanities. I took another look around and its getting busier by the day...

    If you want to choose a co-mod let me know (tom@spinsol.com). Also maybe we should think of splitting the Humanities board up into two topics... I think Politics should be one but I cant see a clear second common topic. anyone?

    The Society Board?
    The History Board?
    The Love Board? *snigger*
    The Like After Hours Only With Big Thinky Words Board?
    The BAN CASTOR TROY Board?
    The Hitler Drives A VW Beetle Board?

    On the subject of new boards, what about a Comms board to cover the whole area of modems, isp's and general b!tching about Esat? Technology is full to the brim with that stuff.

    Well if he needs a hand, the Sports one is not that busy and I do frequent the humanities board a bit as well.

    (I still want to admin the sports board, I just want more power biggrin.gif)

    LOL.

    Yeah if Gandy wants to co-mod it that's cool with me - sure Sports only livens up about every six months with a Celtic v Rangers debate smile.gif

    Well you could just split it into 'Politics' and 'Humanities'.

    I might be willing to offer my services as a Moderator on a 'Politics' board. I think I can be reasonably balanced on this (my only pre-judgement would be to limit the length of posts).

    i'm on the boards all the time and would offer to be a mod, only my past reputation is terrible!

    i'm a good person, really.

    Have to agree with amp here. the tech board is being overloaded to the point where i don't even vist that often anymore as a lot of the issues aren't revelent to me or i could be bothered sifting thorugh the hundred or so posts that have appeared in the few hours since i last log in. It would make more sense to phase out the tech board and split it in to smaller boards where issuse can more clearly be identified. It has already been done b4 with programming, security, unix etc. U could split it in to software and hardware sections to make it easier.

    Also, in my opinon, it would make more sense to rename the Network board the Comms board as most of the muppets here won't realise there supposed to post their 'i hate esat/eircom' opinons there. Maybe make it 'Network/Comms' might be better com to think of it.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Good idea, I've renamed the board and it will filter through to old posts next time the boards are re-indexed (takes about an hour and it slows the machine so I dont want to do it for such a small change).

    Hrm, can't reply to the Network/Comms boards...

    What I wanted to say was that (seeing as Amp wants to mod the Net/Comm board) you could stick me on Games and move Amp to N/C - sawwted


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,049 ✭✭✭Cloud


    I've shorted the name to make it fit better on the main page - Networks / Communications now is Nets / Comms.

    I think humanities is fine as it is. Most of the topics involve discussion of political and other aspects of issues so it wouldn't really be possible to split it into two.



  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    DT on one thread here you whinge about your posts being trolled and deleted and then here I read you jump into a perfectly serious discussion with your stupid crap.

    The adults are talking, if you cant act in a mature manner then you need to be treated like a child and be seen and not heard.

    Its your choice.

    If anyone should be made a moderator, it should be Bob The Unlucky Octopus - This bloke takes so much time over his replies, and they are always serious, helpful and intelligent - Infact I know him quite well, he is one of those extremely intelligent people that will try their best to help you with anything he can, and him being a lawyer / medic helps things... Believe me biggrin.gif

    Castor, take Bob at your side as a mod... Ahhhhhhh gwan! (Well, it was just a suggestion)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,136 ✭✭✭Bob the Unlucky Octopus


    Lol- cheers for the vote of confidence Rope biggrin.gif

    I was in fact about to e-mail DeVore/Cloud about volunteering to help out with Humanities which is the board closest to my heart...I didn't see this topic tho frown.gif

    In any case- gandalf has my full support as a Humanities mod- he does a fantastic job in Sports- he's a top, top guy AND a Gooner to boot- how could I not approve of him as a mod?(wan the Gunners!) biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

    I'd like to help out with boards.ie in some capacity- but nfortunately, the other boards that I'd like to be involved with (Film/Video, RPG, Literature, Wargames) are either not busy enough to warrant another mod or already have 2 mods frown.gif I'd still be more than willing to lend a hand however...if there's anything that I could assist with just drop me a line smile.gif

    I've had experience mod'ing the official TFC forums...not extensive experience, but I'm willing to learn smile.gif

    Bob, I'd have no objection to you moderating a board but as you say right now we are covered. Thats not to say we wont add new boards in the future... in fact if you can think of other boards we are missing I'm about to start a thread on the topic now....

    Since Vocal Yokel, I mean Vocal Local or whatever it was is gone, how about starting a Counties section in the Communities section. Don't see anywhere else to put a "my County is better than yours" section.

    You would need lots of moderators though. And 32 Forums, well 33 as you might need a general one too.
