Re: Random Thought Thread <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Brian)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> tell me the story. about the whole thing. about what really happened between the jbb staff and the s2 staff, and if their ideas were negated</p> </div></p> For starters, S2 has a different governing philosophy than what JBB had. The primary reason for these differences is age and experience of the pre-merger S2 admins and the corresponding point at which the pre-merger JBB admins were when they started JBB. Additionally, there were major gaps in the average age of the posters. Extremely tight editing and over moderation are not things that allow a site to keep adult posters that have jobs and families who view the site as a fun diversion from their everyday life.</p> Secondly, some JBB mods had the impression that they were going to come here and dictate how and when things were going to be done. All suggestions post-merger were listened to; however, as with any professionally managed project, everything must be weighed on a cost/benefit basis before decisions are reached. Some people were too impatient to deal with the rate at which changes were being implemented and others acted immaturely because they weren't getting their way.</p> Mods were never told that they couldn't edit, rather they were told they needed to adapt to a much looser set of guidelines. Some people decided to start a campaign of misinformation in response to this by telling people that mods couldn't edit.</p> The admins from both pre-merger groups have been on the same page about the direction of the site the entire time. Each person obviously has their personal list of what they believe is the most important next step, but the overall direction isn't in question.</p> </p>

Not really, out of 11,800 members we had at JBB, there is maybe 11 or 12(includingmyself) that still actually post on a consistant basis. ALOT of people were really thrown off by the merger. But whatever, thats the decision Shape made, and we have to respect that. S2 is still as bad as it was the day the merger took place, and nothing seems to be happening in regards to improving it (unless somthing is going on behind the scenes I dont know about).</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread Can't wait to get to work tomorrow, I'm getting a l33t brand new PC with two LCD flat screen monitors! It's a wicked set up, I'll take a photo of it when I get into work tomorrow and post it when I get home.
Re: Random Thought Thread I wake up the next morning and get treated to 5 pages of Brian, Legacy, Dark Hero, and The Legend showing me what "QUALLTY > QUNTTIY" is. Friggin' ridiculous. Thanks for sh*tting all over what JBB used to stand for guys. If you don't want to be here, just leave. I was enjoying the site without all this juvenile drama.</p>

I actually love any movie that Clint Eastwood makes or is in one. (greatest actor/producer of all time for me, he was born to act/produce, guy is a genius)</p> Back to the movies, it's great how he tries to show us both sides of the story, and you get the human story out of it, that they weren't evil (the japanese), they were just like us, fighting for their country, whatever their generals said. (isn't that the story everywhere?) lol</p> But yeah, they're both must own dvds.</p> </p>

Once again, I feel like we should have thought first before we posted. I didn't know what happened, I guess I'm just a dumbass. I probably won't be posting here anymore though, but do me a favor and the next time I do something stupid like this just ban me.</p> Peace</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread Peace.</p> I watched Spiderman 3 last night, it was actually pretty good IMO.</p> And I'm planning on watching Batman Begins some time soon, probably tonight.</p>
