Zoklet had it's chance...

edited July 2010 in Spurious Generalities
I'm here and ready for war. :mad:

I might be able to get 5024L to come out of hiding, along with JFLC, Really Stupid Stuff, Blunderful, Pope, Slim, and PuttinOnTheRitz. I also know a lot of other posters, including mods from zoklet, who would be interested. I will definitely try to expand our ranks, through personal referrals as well as PMs on Zoklet.

At some point we should discuss more ways on how we can convince the cool members on zoklet to make the transition. Obviously we don't want certain mods from zoklet coming here, climbing the ladder, then making the same mistakes... so we should just forum lynch them on the spot. Fuck with them relentlessly until they give up... although I doubt they'll even show their faces without the power to delete criticism. Once we have all the old school users, another idea is to PM every new user on Zoklet and link then here. The introductions forum would be a good place to start. I mean, it's obvious that nearly everyone is disappointed with Zok, and the decisions he's made with the community, so all we have to do is give the community an alternative. This site didn't look very fun when there barely any posts, but now that things are picking up, we're fucking ready to go. Once we have all the members, zoklet will be nothing more than a bad memory.

    Welcome back Poast. Well you were right about Zoklet all along I guess. I just logged into my account and I got de-modded for no good reason.

    I kept in regular contact with him outside of Zoklet. He hasn't been around at all.

    Thanks! And I never really left. I've been up to my same old tricks, as you can see... zok says my content is no longer welcome on his site. It's not even my main account that is banished, it's my personality. No matter how many accounts I make, they just keep banning them. I asked zok if he wanted to call a truce, I even said I would donate a few bucks as a peace offering, but he's still butt-hurt that I got into M&A and embarrassed his whole crew. I was really hoping an alternative like this would be established so we could try to save what little of the original posters we have left. I can't wait to get involved and help solve this clusterfuck once and for all.

    Told you so man! Honestly though, what did you expect? Zok is a fucking backstabbing hypocrite... ask Expl0itz. He uses people like yourself to do all his dirty work, and in the end YOU look like a dick for following HIS orders. The SAME EXACT thing is happening right now with Spectral, only the funniest part is he's so ignorant and delusional that he doesn't even see it coming.

    Protip: Don't be a mod here. I think a lot of people would agree that you can be a helpful nice guy when you're not put into a position of power. When you're angry and forced to make decisions, you end up contradicting yourself so much that nothing makes any sense.

    Don't worry. I don't plan to mod here. I will just contribute and contribute. That's my job as a Totse memeber.

    Rolf officially dislikes Zok, as both an administrator and as a oxygen-consuming organism, for Dfg is like mighty Atlas, yet one who shall be called "Madame Coathanger" for the duration of this post, is mentioned as the one who contributes most.

    You've committed an atrocious crime. You are mingling with the opposition by posting here, an act of treason against the high and mighty Zok. There is no alternative punishment for that except death by firing squad.

    I think I saw his name on the roster. Im glad he signed up too. Although we bumped heads a bit on zoklet, I still respect him as a level headed mod who didnt give into that brown nosery that went on at zoklet. Well he did for a while, but he got over it.

    Anways, Id welcome him as a mod here any day.

    Well, I post on various Totse clones anyway. I don't see a major problem. Perhaps the large user migration could have triggered it.

    Never, ever let wires take that position 4J, you heard me brah?

    Yeah I modded here the first time this forum was around until it went down for a long ass time and came back. I doubt Zok and wires will even come here and if they do I'd be surprised.

    You guys, we need everyone here. All the old posters, incuding meta, jackketch, and the others that may have not been liked too much. Because the spirit of totse was information. Everyone got together, and shared their information. Any information, no holds barred. That's why I think we should let everyone in. Maybe not Zok, Wires, Fish, or Deuce, (not that they'd even come here, but if they do, I'm sure they can stay as USERS) but everyone else. We need to let people in with open arms, and leave everything else in the past. I'm sure certain people will not be considered for modship, but at least we will have their knowledge and contributions. I loved the Totse Army, but let's not start off by fighting. There'll be plenty of time for that later ;)

    Please no... just... no. If we want to rebuild totse in it's own image we need to STAY AWAY from unnecessary witch hunting and rule mongering. We need to concentrate on intermingling lulz with helpful info. There HAS to be a middle ground. What ruined zoklet was trying to push everyone in a direction that only 25% of the community supported. The last thing we need now is spectral spamming up every thread about forum politics with his "anti-trolling" gestapo bullshit. We need POSITIVE, REAL posters to contribute ideas on how to appeal to OUR age group, not another fucking lame burned out old faggart with no life and no real friends.

    I never mentioned to have him as a MOD. Still, you gotta admit the man knew about his stuff or at least tried to help the community. He was a hardass at first, yes, but he slowly changed and is now realizing how much Zoklet is starting to suck.

    I do love how you said mixing lulz with helpful info; the main reason I (and I'm sure many others) joined totse as well.
  • edited July 2010
    Understandable, but STILL!... we don't need his constant off-topic rants clouding the real issues. We need rebels to dictate policy, for THE LULZ. Mods on zoklet are to butt-hurt and scared to have any fun. Now is the time for the regulars who never got the recognition they deserved to be rewarded. We need a WHOLE new set of mods, and it NEEDS to include posters that have been in it for years and in it for the lulz. As long as nobody becomes another fucking tyrant, and everyone respects everyone else's right to participate, then we'll all be one big happy dysfunctional family. I wouldn't mind spectral coming here, but what I mean is we need to build this site while WE(the "trolls" who just want to enjoy ourselves) still can, before people like HIM(the elitist internet megalomaniacs) fuck it up for everyone.

    The guy was real dedicated to modding and keeping unnecessary bullshit out of the forum. Yea he is somewhat of an Anti-lulz, but its not like zok owns this forum, so we can cut him down any time we need to.

    I lol'd when I saw this, and thought it was a troll account. Sorry you lost the mod position, but you seemed through with the drama anyways, amirite?
    For a pervy arab, you're pretty cool. As a mod, you never did wrong by me, and as a member, you gave me some lulz both at your expense and at your side. Either way, you're a good member, and I'd post on a forum with a faggot like you any day. *thumbsup

    No we're childhood friends and veteran trolls. We've been doing this for about eight or nine years on various different forums including totse... although we only found &T in 2004.

    I asked zok and wires about DFG getting demodded, here are the convos:

    <MissingMuse> why did DFG get demodded?
    <zok> He wanted to quit.
    <zok> He announced it.
    <zok> We'd been looking for a replacement for a while
    <zok> Well, replacementS
    <zok> Then he started being all anti-establishment and "shit site sucks" ect
    <zok> Which is no way to behave or talk about the place you work for
    <zok> So that kinda expedited the process of finding a replacement for him

    <MissingMuse> why did DFG get demodded?
    <@wires&gt; he wasn't acting like we expect our moderators to act, in the end
    <MissingMuse> meaning..?
    <@wires&gt; meaning just that
    <MissingMuse> thats pretty vague

    I guess thats their official statement about it. Wires of course just gave me the run around, I'm surprised I caught them in different rooms but on at the same time.

    Work for? A moderator is just a guy who gets rid of the junk on forums. AN INTERNET JANITOR. That's all! Unless they stops cleaning up the spam, they shouldn't be demodded.

    They're not "jobs", they're basically punishments. Why am I the only one who sees that?

    Again, I would love to see contributors as moderators, not just mods. We don't need mods in the first place. We need contributors.
