>inkwell is still in charge of mods and no board changes or any other major changes can be done without him
Where did you get that?

The Go/No-Go thing was if Admins disagree.

Admiral confirmed for Zamoonda, hostile board takeover achieved, please panic at your leisure.

>>161585

>>161583
This.

>>161583
>- coordinate with both admins and devs for any major site changes
>- hiring

>- clarify site rules as necessary (including making minor changes to the rules)
>- coordinate with developers it implement bugfixes and new (minor) site features

actually hilarious, or very sad. either way, there is now...

> help provide the owner with information necessary to make big decisions

two divisions on staff. rip communication

>>161591
Oh gotcha.

Yeah, it does seem like it at least needs clarification if >>161590 is true.

Approved. Why it took you two months, I won't even actually ask, but I think this is a pretty huge step forward.

>>161595
he probably just doesn't like to admit that he funds the site for authority, not just to keep it alive. if we want things to improve, inactive admins like him can't have a final say unless they're present in the discussion in the first place, no delays because he isn't there. his role should just be resolve site crisis, mediation between staff and mediation between admins when they disagree and managing the site's hosting.

Examples of major site changes:
- merging with another imageboard
- deleting /oat/
- a complete rewrite of the site's code
- allowing pornography
- etc.

Examples of minor site changes:
- adding pretty much any sort of user functionality
- creating boards like /good/
- rewriting the site rules to clarify our definitions of things like ERP
- etc.

If I don't at least expect people to sign off with me before enacting major site changes, I may as well not be here at all.

>>161600
well you may as well not, what do you do around here besides turn ponychan stale for a year due to your inactivity? fund the site and call yourself ## owner, but I don't see any reason why you want to have anything more.

>>161600
Inkwell. Pls.

It's 3AM and some of us have work in a few hours, please come on skype.

>>161601
>what do you do around here besides turn ponychan stale for a year due to your inactivity
>stale for a year
>a year
Oh lovey, my inactivity has been contributing to Ponychan's staleness for far longer than that.

>>161602
Am try! Skype is taking forever to update.

>Admin: Fenolio, Admiral
Nice.

>>161603
idk how long you've been admin exactly, but every time inkwell this inkwell that... can you not just fund the site and let your proposed admins do what an admin is supposed to do? you obviously don't have the time to be a staff, but i know every single person on ponychan is grateful for your continued selflessness in funding our fun. but the torch should be passed in full. both you and orange are clearly burned out and you do us no good by involving yourself in these matters. orange seems to have uninvolved himself, and now he enjoys oat and so on, why cant you?

>>161580

Thanks Inkwell for being there. Because folks ought to know that without people like you Ponychan wouldn't exist, even if we aren't as big as what we were. It's an important, neigh, vital part of the brony community.

Everything else is personality drama and bullshit that can be resolved. "This too shall pass"

>>161580
>Admin: Fenolio, Admiral

>>161580
>Rarity not admin

>>161630
pls

If Admiral or Fen switched names to !!Rararara you'd be happy

>>161632

That wouldn't match nearly as well, though. Who would the other admin be at that point?

two months from now this will change

>>161632
No

This >>161633

And this >>161634

>>161628
I really appreciate it. With all the stuff going on in my life, there was a time when I would have come here more often - for support and friendship - rather than less. But even if my relationship with the site has changed, it's nice to be reminded that the things (and people) that made me love the place are still around.

>>161633
!!Rar and !!ity of course.

>>161640
Thats not even funny.

>>161640

Oh, of course, why didn't I think of that?

>>161634
You honestly think I could come up with another new plan in two months? :P

>>161644
Hell, I don't even think you'll show up again within the next two months~

>>161611
>>161627
agenda anons from A to Z! do you lovebirds plan ahead of time to show up together like this, or is it just chemistry~?

>>161633
this
>>161640


>>161637
>>161628
Yeah, I gotta pass on the sentiment, I may seem critical and cold sometimes, but I do really appreciate keeping this site up. I love this place for some weird reason~

I still would like to see you post more for not-just-site-management purposes

>>161641
you're not funny~

>>161644
kek

youre right actually

YOU FUCKED UP. SHOULDA MADE ME MOD U FGT

Isn't it great how bringing up the valid, legitimate opinion that maybe the site should be owned by someone who's actually ever here and might have an actual pulse on the community makes you someone with an 'agenda?' I love it. /meta/ at its usual finest, courtesy Orange no less. FUD all day errday.

Credit where credit is due, most of this plan was originally Astra's idea.

>>161658
Which in turn was an idea that was already somewhat done here in the past anyways, with Fenolio as admin with a sort-of-silent owner as well. And round and round it goes.

>>161656
Fuck it.
Let's all stand up.

>>161656
we all agenda together

>>161657
<tfw i dont even have that much money right now lol

>>161660

I believe the idea actually dates back to the signing of the Magna Carta and the creation of parliament.

>>161651
Expert? You flatter me far too often, I don't deserve this much praise

>>161665
oops!
forgot my name!
ha ha!
how silly of me!

>>161662
Well, if you can't pay the fee, you can't abuse power and randomly ban people you dislike.
Go back to your shiposting, scrub.
We'll party later.

*Disclaimer, because I know people will take me seriously: This post was a joke. Mods are cool. Go away. I'm trying to be silly here.

>>161665
>I don't deserve this much praise

thats true :^)

>>161663
For a second I thought I was in the other thread and you were responding to >>161642

Nah man. I'm the man who comes up with plans to fix all the things. ALL OF THEM

Pretty close though~!

No, it's mine.

>>161677
Having fun is my job here!
I wouldn't be upholding the glorious name of Pinkie Pie if I did anything less 100% of the time.

What? We are all having agenda anon's baby?

I thought I felt funny...

>>161580

>Admiral and Fenolio admins
Neat.

>>161709
Quick! I need pictures. Pictures of pretty pink pony princesses.

If you've got any, anyways.

>>161710

>>161709
>>161710

Shuckle. Do one of your crazy screencap groups for Cadence.

>>161710
>>161714
I'll give you an option: do you want me to upload my Cadence folder as it is (151 images) or make a folder of screencaps, which could possibly be up to a 500-1000 images (the episodes she's in are two parters so there's a lot of images) and will take me time?

>>161716

Do I get to vote? Give him the 1000 images!

>>161716
Well as long as you're offering, option two. It'll be hilariously impractical to actually post with. But that's part of the fun!

And she's way, way better, character-wise, later on. I bet your 151 is just from ACW or something silly like that.

>>161720
Oh my 151 is just various stuff I've saved and something from my very first attempt to screencap stuff.
>It'll be hilariously impractical to actually post with
You'd be surprised how fast you run out of images, though with how little you post it should last you forever, especially if you're only going to mod post with it.

>>161722
>with how little you post
Pls. Pls. Plllls.

I've been busy lately, shush.

But yeah, it'd just be modposts, for the most part. That said, I'll be modposting much more often now that 1. I don't need to rhyme and 2. I don't need to confer with The Council to determine the Official Staff Position On The Matter, just Fen.

>>161580
>Mod: everyone else
am i a mod now?
i want to be !!Chikun

>>161758

This isn't Discordchan, silly chicken.

<that scoot feel when !!Chikun will never arise...

>>161767
RIPIP in peice Discordchan

DID SOMEBODY ORDER 1000 SCREENCAPS OF PRINCESS CADENCE?
https://www.mediafire.com/?8ss6ebs3hbbrcv3

Season 2 finale and season 3 opener. There are just about exactly 1000 in there.

>>161793
Yoink~

>no Shining cuddles

>>161793
Ha ha! I'm going to do Three's a Crowd on my own, thanks.

>once GitHub is up and working, the current devs will be responsible for hiring more devs

I thought this was supposed to make it so that the decision making process could be carried out when you aren't here? I mean, bug fixes are nice, but the main problem is when major site changes are proposed you are perpetually missing.

Oh okay, people have already talked about this and got yelled at for whatever reason

>If I don't at least expect people to sign off with me before enacting major site changes, I may as well not be here at all.

You aren't. That's the problem. You seem to be here only every few months at best.

Anyway, as far as everything else goes that seems satisfactory. Fen and Admiral as admins is good. I like that Orange's shittery needs approval as well. Telling your mods to interact with the community is also nice but I don't think that's going to change rainbro and lemming being invisible. Still, it's the thought that counts.

Somebody should, you now, fuckin update the contact list now. God, you guys are slow in doing shit.

>>161851
I had two responses for this, I couldn't decide which one to post so here's both.

1. It's almost as if you expect them to plan stuff and "roll it out".

2. Does it really matter? There has been no change to members on staff. If you have a problem I'm sure they'd redirect you if needed.

Edit: 3. Nimblewing/!!Pinkie is in charge of the FAQ/Contact Us list. You could shoot him a mail.

Mostly #3, speaking for myself. I tried futzing around with it yesterday, but I reverted all changes lest I break something. It would mean adding a new section between Owner and Dev. Which doesn't sound that hard, but I'll wager you've never seen Kusaba's admin control panel. If it was just a raw HTML page, it would be so much easier.

So I figured I'd just wait for Nimble to get on and ask him to do it.

>>161855
^not fudging around with stuff on live
<being this scootaloo

Nah, that's fair enough.
Actually, I have seen it once or twice. Set up a vanilla Kusaba chan once just to pass time.

>>161835
>>161834
As soon as the lunatic gives me his phone number so he can be bothered the fuck out of for a yay, neigh or hold fire i'm coming, that issue should be sorted.

Sounds like a positive change. The site could do with admins who are around and involved with the community, and who don't also have to be developers.

<admiral yang is now !!Cadance instead of !!Zecora
I don't like change.

>>161879
He's not cool enough to be !!Zecora. It's only fitting that a lame nerd like him has to be worst princess.

>>161880
<cool
^Ponychan
OK, so who here is cool enough to be !!Zecora?

>>161909
Vince.

>>161909
me

>>161911

>Vince
>not !!Iron Will

Adding ##Founder## and ##Developer## positions

Well done, whoever coded this. They said it couldn't be done, but you've done it.

>>161951
>>161951
Do I make an Orange joke, or would that not be considered kosher?

I still think we should fire Rainbro and make Retrograde a mod

>>161964

I concur

>>161964
+1

I still think we should fire Zeke and make Retrograde head dev

I still think we should fire Awdrii and make Retrograde head Awdrii

I continue to advocate that we replace the entire staff with a single sophisticated AI.

The posters will be replaced at a latter date.

wow... a new staff system! ...well, it's quite different. but i am hopeful.

Ponychan is doing wonderfully... and i suspect, these ponies will only help it to grow.

best of luck to fenny and admiral... may our pony home be ever safe in their care.

>>161969
Posting something other than Rainbow Dash?

I can't let you do that, Dave.

>perma'd

>>162000
they say history moves in circles c:

Have we gotten our expansion on the dev side yet?

>>162295

Are we putting more megabytes in the servers?

>>162297
We need to download more RAM first.

>>162297
I mean, are Zeke and Orange still the only one working on the code?

>>162299

Oh. I assume there'd be some notice if that weren't the case, and I'm not entirely sure we need extra coders at the moment.

>>162299
If you look at the sticky it doesn't look like anything is happening.

The Sweetie bot needs to be recharged or something.
