Quote from: Silvercrow79 on April 02, 2011, 10:08:09 PMWe've pretty much become the opposite. Partially because of the smaller community, and partially because...well, we don't like being stiff and boring. Sure, we do enjoy having fun, but if need be, we'll crack down on any shenanigans that will cause serious trouble.

I've had a conversation with someone about the differences you see in large versus small communities before. So I definitely agree that it plays a significant role.

Quote from: Chandelure on April 02, 2011, 06:09:44 PMOh, that's cool.
I was neutral towards Bronsen, and/but I doubt he remembers who I am.

If Chandelure was your name on NSider as well, I have to say it doesn't ring a bell. But if I had to make a guess, our interaction must have revolved around the sprite contests on the Pokemon board.

Well, considering Chandelure didn't exist until last September, and it wasn't called Chandelure until a month ago, and I'm only using this name temporarily because I like this Pokemon so much, no.

Does UltimateKAOS ring a bell?

Somewhat, yes. Even without the new name I'm getting Pokemon vibes, but I think we had our encounters on the Diamond and Pearl board, too.

There was... a D/P board?

Nope. Competitive community had the DPP board. Unless I'm horribly confused. I think Pokemon had 3 boards.

....Are you sure we're both talking about Oldsider?

Macawmoses · April 02, 2011, 11:18:49 PM

Yes. I think there was one for Mystery Dungeon too...

I think I might remember a PMD board, but no specific D/P board....

It was in the WiFi section, somewhat short-lived. It was a little bit controversial for users that weren't interested in Pokemon because indeed there were three sections for Pokemon at a single time. It was also tough to manage because of the Friend Code rules, since trading was possible with and without them (though most often done with). There was also a good amount of chaos when the D/P board closed.

In some ways that's sort of the entertainment value to it, though. When you make a busy board your playground, getting the moderator's attention gets the public's attention. And getting other users to know who you are is the point of the game.

The thing with Humu is that it's a little bit tough to explain to people that weren't there to see exactly what kind of moderator she was. Even one or two people who were there don't really get it. But I think it's best put this way. In public, Cat is generally considered to be the foundation of the KoH group, but in reality I don't think the group would have functioned without Humu. As hard as I felt I worked, she worked 10x harder and had been going at it for more years. She always asked for feedback, wanting to know whether she handled this situation appropriately, what she could have done differently to make things work better. She always volunteered to help out in other peoples' little pet projects, was always available to help put a dent in abuse reports (even when it was 11pm and they were climbing upwards into the several thousands).

I think she really shined when the decision was made to close the Diamond and Pearl board. Like I mentioned, they acted really crazy over the news, and some of the other mods didn't want to touch the place (for a variety of reasons, but not limited to not wanting to be the "bad guy" in public, and because the traffic on that board was more than of Power On's). Not only did she step up to the task that no one wanted to do, but she virtually did it all alone, and made a crazy scenario a bit less crazy. I've definitely learned that being hated comes with the territory, and like I said I can accept the strong feelings certain people have against me. But I have a harder time accepting the antagonism Humu receives, because overall she was probably the best one of the group.

I bet I made her job easier @___@

OH! Suddenly it's all coming back to me. I think I visited that board a few times. I remember almost getting banned for being accused of FC trading. (Even though it was clear thatn I was organizing an awkward GTS trade with someone, which was a very unreliable method but it worked in that case).

Oh, Oldsider and its strict rules.
