    (Sorry if it's been said, but I couldn't see any threads..)

    Replace those outdated banners with banners for the cafepress stuff or something?

    It was a suggestion: to remove outdated content,and replace it with something that may increase revenue..
    At what point did I say to drop everything and do it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Lol thanks ecksor lol.

    ""Willem goes in to the corner to please himself at the fact ecksor replied with some kind words""

    Lol seriously though the poster just wont get it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Theres a thread about it half way down the page if you had bothered your arse to look it up. The problem is only one admin can change the banner adds ,and he's been quiet bussy as of late. If it was that easy to change, the adds would have been repalced for the last queerbeers ages ago anyway. No point in taking down the adds unless you have something to put up in their place like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Lol this probably will be only time I will agree with you Boston. Lol :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭Shabadu


    WDK- you remind me of the guy from the Fast Show sketch who had to keep agreeing with everyone. Reading your posts is akin to watching someone lick the shoes of their greengrocer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Lol Shabadu I knew that was coming. I will to agree with you lol.

    Btw I like you because you gave me a mention on the old podcast. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,314 ✭✭✭Talliesin


    WDK. You are a twat.

    The guy made a reasonable suggestion. S/He wasn't rude. S/He didn't demand that his suggestion was acted upon. His/Her question mark at the end of the sentence indicates that s/he was open to correction as to why adverts for the cafepress stuff may not be the best replacement.
    WDK wrote:
    Its just stupid how people are so ignorant to fact of what is going on behind the scenes.
    Yes. You for instance don't know that the admin that handles the adverts is not one of the admins that will be dealing with the servers. S/He is also a (constantly) busy man, but his being busy is not directly related to what you are talking about.

    There isn't really any reason why you need to know that. So that's okay. Up until the point that you start lambasting someone for making a reasonable suggestion. Karoma didn't say to change them right now, s/he just pointed out that they are a bit out of date.

    Hopefully the banner ads will be changed soon (I especially hope so as I've something I've ask to have promoted). Maybe they won't. Neither of these outcomes is that likely to depend on what other admins are dealing with.

    Comment on the merits of an idea. If someone is asking why something isn't being decided on quickly then point out that the admins are busy. The current situation aside, the admins are always busy. If someone is getting rude about the fact that something isn't being decided upon quickly, then my all means flame them to a crisp. There's no need to be a twat about it.

    I think it's truly inspirational that WDK and LiouVille have set themselves up as the slavering watchdogs of defence for the poor admins.

    I mean, we all know that Cloud, DeV, Vexorg, Regi and Ecksor couldn't find their collective arses with both hands and a flashlight really, and they don't really keep much of an eye on this site (I mean come on, why do you think there are loads of categories of mods?) so it's important that some of the more established posters eat the f*cking features off anyone who posts a bit of feedback about the site on the feedback board.

    Don't you know what the feedback board is for? It's for having a go at n00bs when they post feedback!! It's so the established and long term members of boards.ie can reinforce their position as the be-booted gestapo feet on the necks of the undernerds.

    Now Karoma, I hope you've accepted how shatteringly unacceptable it is for you to have started a thread on the feedback board about how banners that are a few weeks old should be removed from the boards. You obviously have no idea about the extreme level of effort that goes on to keep the boards running, and have never seen regi strip his shirt off to do an extra mile on the treadmill that powers the servers, while DeV and Ecksor thrash his sorry toastrack body with liquourice whips. You should at least lock yourself in a darkened room, don sackcloth and buy a box of liquourice whips yourself for savoury-sugary flagellation, or in fact you may just get a site-wide IP ban.

    You must be new here, hello, I'm joe, nice to meet you. You make me sound far to much like a kiss up. though i did request to be made an Smod, damn regi and his veto...

    I'm annoyed at someone who didn't look afew posts down to see that theres allready a thread on this. Also I tried very hard to get the banner adds changed for the QueerBeers on the first, as I'd put allot of work into new banner adds and the like. So I kinda know whats involved in getting the banners changed. I know that the admin in question reads my Pm's and is well aware that the banenrs are weeks out of date, but hasn't got around to changing them.

    Well said Majd!

    While I'm not an admin, or even anywhere near their exalted level of leetness, I know that I for one will sleep much more soundly tonight knowing that boston and wdk are looking out for the admins and boards.ie in general in such a conscientious fashion.

    You truly are a remarkable pair. Bravo.

    Wait a minute.

    You requested the banners be changed already?

    You already requested such a thing be done?

    And then you go and savage somebody else, for asking the very same thing, with such a ferocity as to make even Genghis Khan blush.

    For shame.

    Hi, I'm Michael. But your nametag says Boston? I don't like people that lie during speed dates!

    But what *is* odd is that only one admin can (apparently) sort out the banners. Perhaps only one "can be arsed" would be more accurate :)

    For shame.

    Where did i savage the guy for his suggestion? I explained the situation to him, and apart from talli, I've been the only one to provide any usefull information on this thread. I had a dig at him for posting something that is already active on the forum afew posts down at the time. For someone to be requesting the admins do something, yet is either too lazy or inempt to even casually glance an eye over the forum deserves a dig. I feel Wkd's muppetry has blinded people...

    Oh and yes majd, i think i owe you a drink, or at least i said i did some time ago. I'll buy yea one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Woo go team WDK, I mean everyone loves an a$$ licker dont they although just so happens I suck at it. But maybe myself and Boston can get together to do a bit of a$$ licking maybe breakdown some of those sexual barriers . Lol :)

    He did have a casual look down and couldn't see any threads, an honest mistake if you'd bothered to read his post.

    The fact of the matter is people are lazy, get over it and don't bother replying if it bothers you.

    Well said. Couldnt of put it better myself (or could I?! Hrm..)

    Yes the banners need to be changed, but clearly, the admins dont have time. WDK has no right to go around and bitch and moan and give out about the originak post who did nothing wrong. Its a feedback forum. He posted some feedback, wasnt demanding or rude - it was a simple piece of feedback.

    WDK; We all make mistakes and im sure you realise your in the wrong here and im sure your gonna make a public/private appology to the original poster to keep things happy and peaceful. :)

    Then the topic can go back to ther way it should be - a piece of feedback without any abuse to others. If you gotta problem with an other member then dont fight it out here; as the other mods said - take it to PM and dont fight it out here.

    Moving swiftly along.... *runs*

    You know I am stumped shabadu, I really want to say you know what but knowing what will become me if I do I am a little unsure about it. I like the idea baz maybe we could have lol watch , doh I just said oh well I am dead.
