The Internet Wins

Another to-be-murderer was caught via the internet. People say the internet is bad, but I think at least 30-50 people somewhere out there should be thanking it considering how much ammunition this guy had. What a nut :

Willing to suggest, but not contribute?

So a few days ago, I posted this announcement requesting gaming staff for the site.

The amount of replies I got? 0, null, zero or none. Any way you put it, this is a sad number for a forum memberbase that feels its needed to initiate a riot when an admin does not have gaming experience. I feel that a number of people (you know if this is you) just come on to criticise and sometimes even make suggestions now and then, especially during our infamous forum riots - but do not contribute anything when it is being asked.

At any rate, I realise many people here no longer play the games, but still. The only staff position that seems to be popular at times, is when a new moderator is requested. Maybe someone can explain that to me, but a writing positon allows for much more freedom, creativity and a hell of a lot less criticism then you would get as a moderator.

But meh, its probably just me. But some of these old-members-turned-lurkers are usually just pissing me off rather then contributing anything.

On a related note, Zach has been helping out on the RoTWK pages. I myself am working in the LotRO ones.

I am currently working on a template for my posts on here, since this n00b site won’t let me have tables or divs or any of the fun stuff. Thus I am pretty much stuck with the hr line. It is a shame that you can’t do it, but then again there is probably some horrible trick to it and I am just a noob to WP so w/e.

ETA: April 4th

Any self-respecting BSG fan (new series, not the old bots) will know about this date. Its when Season 4 kicks back into motion. I realise there aren’t many fans of the show on MEC these days - Berethor and Xbox were but those guys left quite a while ago.

At any rate, here’s an 8-minute catch-up video. Lost fans will recognise the montage and voice-over. I’d recommend watching the actual show as you can’t appreciate the drama and action from a 1 sec clip for each episode.

Also, here is the one trailer to rule them all, to stay in LotR terms. This is for season 4, and has some spoilers, so you might not want to watch this if you don’t like to be spoiled.

There’s a ton more trailers and promo’s, and more stuff is being posted and screened almost daily. I would recommend http://galacticasitrep.blogspot.com/ if you want to keep up :)
