2) you can help me with the site makin
3) You get a share of the profits

I'm not part of squad600, so I can't make that decision. I'm only representing them till they get here cause I think they do a good job, and even though I'm no longer a mod, still feel some loyalty to the old board...
Bloody hell! It's posts like these that make me wonder if I hated mod-ing I much as I'd like to think!Nemesis
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
And one thing which may be in the squad's interests...
Would the admins and mods be able to change things on each others forums, and if so, will you be appointing any admins? Cause that may cause another EW-esque situation of one abusing his power...Nemesis
Posted by arkan (Member # 1) on
:
i may only appoint a few admins, but the mods that are appointed can only use their powers in their selected forums.
If any admins start abusing their power, i will take action.
I am what an old friend calls an "uber-admin", which means if anyone gets any admin password, they cannot shut the forum down like they did to the other one, nor can they block me from accessing admin functs.

:
But when you say that the squad forums would be shortened to just one, does that include the flamers forum, or will that become part of your forums?Nemesis
Posted by arkan (Member # 1) on
:
i think the flamers forum will stay separate, cus you see some people have to flame.
Also we can ban people from all other forums apart from the ff.
The ff was a good idea
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
But who will mod it? The squad or your admins?
Cause it was the squad's idea in the first place...Nemesis
PS: Why am I trying to negotiate for them? I don't even know what they want! I'm just trying to get them a good deal as I see it!
Damn my stupidity!
Posted by arkan (Member # 1) on
:
the majority of the mods will be squad 600.
But youve gotta understand the more people i get to help me with the site, ive gotto retain the favours my makin em mods, but dont worry, you guys will be mods aslong as u want, or unrill you go crazy.
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
Well, I've tried getting the best deal possible, so now it's up to the squad to decide...But what I meant is who will be listed as the mods for the flamers forum?
Nemesis
Posted by arkan (Member # 1) on
:
let them come across and we can negotiate properly
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
Although to be honest, if I had to choose between shared admin, less forums you want, but more you haven't decided for, and it no longer being a solely squad forum may turn them off.I mean, why come here for control of one or two forums and shared rights, when they've got their own forums(which are being rebuilt) in which they can have as many forums as they like, and total control, so they don't have to worry about trusting people...
Sorry to be blunt, but trying to put myself in their position...

I'm afraid none are on at the moment, and it doesn't look like they will be for a while...Nemesis

hmm... we will have to talk. I am not sure I like the part of only having 1 forum, is there a specific reason for this?
i am interested.. we will have to talk more.

Squad600 should be allowed one section of the forum, like Cossacks is on CDV, but one forum on its own is not enough.[ May 19, 2001: Message edited by: my_name_is_not_important ]
Posted by my_name_is_not_important (Member # 5) on
:
what will the domain name be?
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
What will the site mainly be based on, I mean, what type of game, etc?
And how would it make profits?Nemesis
Posted by pdykstra600 (Member # 7) on
:
we will need to talk more before squad600 will accept any deals.
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
Arkan, if the squad decides not to come here, will you remove their name and the flamers forum(which was their idea) from here?
Also, the forums are back up, and the squad is calling for all loyal members to return there, as well as the one's who hate it.
Ifyourwondering, you are to be made a moderator of the squad forums if you return...Nemesis

pdykstra600, i understand that you may not like teh idea off having just one forum, and im sorry for the lake of consideration on my part.
This software allows up to 100 differant forums so theres no reason that i can see why you cant have your own set of forums (10 or so) like there was on the old forums you had. Sure, dont think im holding all the cards, i said lets discuss the beginings.

Arkan, why have you spent so much on a UBB board? Is it to complement your website?
I mean, those prices were astronomical!Nemesis
Posted by hellsatan (Member # 2) on
:
Yeah. This is a bit expensive.So, Who will be the Mods?

so what do you squadd 600 guys think about the above (^^) then
Posted by arkan (Member # 1) on
:
ive got the technical know how, and the many contacts needed to make this site, or project as succesful as we can handle.
Ive got internet design companies on my ass for my skills, no joke.
I just need as much help as i can get.
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
Well the fact that it's a UBB board is swaying them, I think, as well has a larger number of forums...Nemesis
Posted by Ray Soroka (Member # 8) on
:
Can you make us our own adress for the forums, like on a different page?
Posted by uknemesis (Member # 3) on
:
I agree that it should be separate from the main forums...
Apart from that, I'm beginning to quite like having no adverts, etc...
Anyway, what are all the new forums for, Arkan? And will any private forums you make work better on here, as in the last one mods couldn't post in the staff forum...Nemesis
PS: Good job I have long lie-ins! 
But also bad, cause then I can't get to sleep and end up on here for an hour until I eventually begin to feel sleepy...
