Just for anyone curious, I thought I'd give an occasional update on the number of bans handed out by the various mods, since it's such a fascinating feature of our board for so many people.

Current numbers:

Ragnarok - 53
Sechs - 124
Sage - 67
Hiro - El zilcho

Wheee, I have almost twice as many as the other two. 'Course that doesn't take dates into account, or how many were just doing whack-a-mole on ban evaders, but who cares?

Watch for this thread to update eventually for all the banalicious fun!

Plotting Puck is... mostly unrelated.

Sage and I have been talking and agreed that shortly after the new year, we're going to be doing a fairly major revamp on the site's boards. We try to avoid doing so too often because we don't want to get into that "a hundred boards and they all change every month" thing some other sites do.

But basically, it feels like our current setup has found a murky place between having too many boards and too few, and has resulted in some subjects, boards, and so on getting left in the dust. For example, we didn't want to make an anime-only board because it was too specific... but because anime isn't in the title or general theme of /currant/, when someone makes a post about anime there, it gets drowned out under stuff about movies and TV shows and miscellaneous crap. The same thing kind of happens on /pr0n/, /dammit/, /wtfur/, etc.

We're also going to be looking at some boards and the annoyance/return value factor. Frankly, /use/ is up on the chopping block... while it makes for a valuable stance Sage and I both believe in (free speech), it also causes a lot of aggravation for everyone involved... just too much arguing and fighting and crap like that. If it was a thriving, bustling hive of constant debate, discussion, or even flaming, it would probably stay regardless of how much negativity it caused... but it's turned slow and stagnant of late. With so little activity, and so many political blogs out there and other image boards that allow it as a subject, it becomes harder to justify having it.

Anyway, right now Sage and I are still discussing what to do about the site revamp. Here's what we know for sure:

* Probably more than one board is going away. /currant/ and /pr0n/ will be revamped at the very least.
* There will be a new section, for personal boards. Sage will have one, I'll have one, Rags will have one, and we may offer them to other site regulars and friends. Basically this will be for each of us to have a place to post topics and subjects we're interested in. Kind of livejournalish, but hey, favoritism and privilege are part of the reasons people make their own goddamn sites.
* None of the Artist Alley boards are in danger. While we'd like to see them get more traffic, the traffic they do get is worthwhile, generally. /write/ is here to stay.

Things that have been brought up, that are currently simply possibilities:

The separation between /dammit/ and /wtfur/ urks me. I don't like how a comic goes in one section and discussion for that comic goes in a different one. I propose that /wtfur/ be reserved for webcomics and /dammit/ be reserved for everything else or vice versa.

Can we put the IRC chat link up with the rest of the top or side menu? It kinda bugs me that it's only available on the front page

We need a replacement for the standard webservice 404 page. Maybe it could look like the banned page, but with different wording and image. If so, here's my entry.

Jeter pic unrelated, but he ticks of Rags so :P

For those of you that are looking to visit the IRC channel , I encourage you to do so, but after a specific incident involving one named "Rubyluvocow" tonight and as a channel operator, I need to say the following:

If you're having a rough day, don't come in the room if all you intend to do is use it as entitlement to be a jackass. If an op such as myself ,my Lolarbear pal,or in this case I'm referring to multiple regulars tell you to stop acting a fool you better listen. There are quite a few of established room regulars who I consider friends (even though I troll some of you guys a bit excessively) and if you noobs mess with them, I'll pretty much take their side every time.

Like the rest of the soon to be remodeled sandbox. access to IRC not a right, it's a privilege. Deal with it.

(And nothing of value was lost.)

I'm planning sometime in the LATE future (maybe next june/july) to eventually just...post literally every comic related material I have of the fandom (but not siterips), be it free to view, to pay per view, to print back purchasable. Now so far I filtered through a lot of things, putting aside 42 DNP works and material that might piss certain people off.

I intend to submit each compressed file individually at a link, with a preview pic beside every submission at the share board. And the message box details; Acknowledging the Artist's name if I know, title, sex orientation (ex: M/M, F/Herm, Clean), any particular fetishes that stand out as a warning, possible summary.

So before I go any further with spending conscious days compressing and uploading, am I allowed to do this? Be aware this is going to be 13.58GB worth of material I have. And by the way, if I unintentionally post something that's not your cup of tea, I'll politely remove it.

Too many connections?

Well, I'm not sure the best board to post this in, so figured I'd do it here:

Assuming Nadia isn't just being stupid, it looks like the site is going to be dead in a couple months. Maybe you can grab the site/domain back (that is, obviously, assuming you want it).

Really though... the amount of sense that move makes goes into the negative numbers. Just curious what you guys think.

Okay, so I apparently I got a weird error message from this site that said "wut" and had an "ok" button...I forgot a screen-cap but anybody have an idea on what that was all about? It said dammitfreehaven.com in the title of the box.
