*Experts* Nerseus Posted May 30, 2006 *Experts* Posted May 30, 2006 The first rule of admins is... you do not talk about admins. Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center." - Kurt Vonnegut

Leaders snarfblam Posted May 30, 2006 Leaders Posted May 30, 2006 What sort of unjust world do we live in, where one so deserving goes unrecognized and overlooked? How can a man's toils be so underappreciated. All the sweat and blood that such a man is to devote to helping and giving support to his fellow man, selflessly, in the face of so many ungrateful souls whose concern is only of their own benefit. Should we not all rise up and give our appreciation to this honorable man who makes his sole purpose the well-being of others? The only just action is the promotion to an Admin! Shall we not all give thanks for the great and magnificent work I have done here today, yesterday, and so many days before? (You didn't really think I was talking about Diesel, did you?)

Leaders snarfblam Posted May 30, 2006 Leaders Posted May 30, 2006 I'm not too sure that that was appropriate. If anything my sarcasm makes me a hypocrite. I apologize Diesel, and what's more, I've looked over your last fifty or so posts and these are all your qualities that I think you would make a great admin. Constructive Critisism. That's some ugly code![/Quote] Socially adept. If you give me your #, I'd like to discuss this topic with your daughter. Or her yahoo/msn/email will suffice.[/Quote] Friendly assistance. Oh my god. You realize that 6/03/06 is not a string. [/Quote] Useful solutions. just blink really fast when you scroll.[/Quote] Full of advice.

Why would you call it from form load as opposed to the onload event of the document? You are not passing in any information, it's pointless.[/Quote] Introspective. But then again, I have no life.[/Quote] Cooperative. What the hell? Is it me or did all you guys miss the boat?[/Quote] Witty. I think santa left a little hash in hb's stocking.[/Quote] Concerned.

mskeel Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Paid for by the Diesel for Admin Campaign Why run your forum on regular gas, when you can have it running on Diesel? Quote
Diesel Posted May 31, 2006 Author Posted May 31, 2006 Where is this campaign being hosted? I want a secretary that doesn't wear pantyhose. Quote
Arch4ngel Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 LOL Normally I don't give my personnal input but... hahahaha That was funny. Loved the picture and the "colorful" sarcasm of marble_eater ;) I've been a while here and still happy to participate! Keep going! (I'm the next admin! Watch me fly baby!)

There's always something that wasn't mentioned in the documentation..." - Me "A drunk girl is like an animal... it scream at everything like a cat and roll in the grass like a dog." - Me after seeing my girlfriend drunk and some of her drunk friend.

mskeel Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I'm the next admin! Watch me fly baby!You know, he's got a point, Diesel. He does have you by 350 posts... Personally, I think we need more admin around here. We need our admins to admin the pants of this forum. I got a fever. And the only prescription...is more admin!!!! And if our admins can't admin, then what we need is more admin!! Diesel 4 Admin!! Quote
Arch4ngel Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I'm gonna have to make a logo "VOTE FOR ME" or something like that. I'll get The Gimp (I call it The Pimp) and make one. If ever I can fit this task in my workload, you'll see what I'm talking about :P Quote "If someone say : "Die mortal !"... don't stay to see if he isn't." - Unknown "Learning to program is like going out with a new girl friend.

I'm sorry (and it'll blow my chances for being admin) but I started busting up laughing here at work when I read that list :D Quote
Arch4ngel Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I'm telling you, this kind of sarcasm is one of the most funniest. Always crack me up anyway.

Arch4ngel Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Okay... now ... that's it. I'll go through all the post of Diesel!!! Seems like there is a lot of them! :P Quote "If someone say : "Die mortal !"... don't stay to see if he isn't." - Unknown "Learning to program is like going out with a new girl friend.

Diesel Posted June 2, 2006 Author Posted June 2, 2006 Why retread through old times? Im a changed man. As your admin, I promise to be just and fair. I will support the little guy and suppress the man. I will abolish the segregation lines of vb.net. I will promote object oriented-ness throughout the world. There will be teleconferences where everyone can express their opinions and share their knowledge. I shall call this new club Community Memory. Quote
mskeel Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I say we have a debate. Post your questions for Diesel and the current administration. Both Diesel and current members of the leadership ranks get a chance to comment, then responses from each party. Then we switch who goes first for the next question. Diesel, as challenger answers the first question first. Subjects can range from hard hitting programming issues, .Net and programming philosophies, general technology, applications, testing, -- basically anything related to programming or programming culture. Also Admin philosophies, ethics, and platforms. What do you think? Quote
EFileTahi-A Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) I believe Dieasel is fully qualified to be an Admin, but not on this forum (maybe at http://www.halloffame.net/topten/pseudo-admins.htm). Anyway, I vote for Marble_Eater and JoeMamma as future admins. Edited June 5, 2006 by EFileTahi-A Quote
Cags Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Marble_eater is an admin isn't he? Quote Anybody looking for a graduate programmer (Midlands, England)?
Diesel Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 Marble eater is a forum leader, Joe Mamma was banned. BTW, thanks for the vote of confidence EFileTahi. Quote
mskeel Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Yeah...Joe Mamma was certainly a pillar of forum society. :rolleyes: And speaking of Joe Mama... We've seen how past admins/moderators have handled unruly posters. Diesel, as a forum administrator, how might you handle a similar situation? Once, Diesel has posted, forum leaders may respond. The peanut gallery (everyone else) may comment on this and the responses at will. Quote
Diesel Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 I think the admins already do a good job. They follow the rules and aren't subjective. Whatever the rules specify. Quote
