I do not think i will support this community any longer.

I have no rights, no permissions, no extra boards, no badge, nothing other than what you see on my profile. Anything I do know about the team that isn't public is based on what I knew from January. I hear *rumours* but I know plenty of others hear rumours too.

What I do know, though, is that hints have been given out publicly. For example I had a feeling before Norv was promoted to co-lead dev that he would be given that status. Not because of any rumour, but because I said that only Compuart had the ability to publish builds (which, as far as I knew was the case), then Antechinus said that it might not be entirely true, at that point Norv was already in the dev team, so it wasn't a huge leap to do 2+2. This was all public, btw.

I'm just more active, and see the signs that are there.

I agree, a formal statement wouldn't hurt, but I'd rather see the team actually move on things - which they're doing - rather than worry about making a prepared statement.


Let's say an announcement was made when a couple of people had returned. Then as more people return, you're going to do another announcement? At what point do you make the announcement? Thing is: change changes things. If you make a statement about something that's in the process of changing day by day, the announcement is quickly out of date or else you keep editing it, which sort of defeats the point of announcements being milestones.

I can understand all the impatience, but please be patient. All will come in time and hour.

Oh well spoze new staff after the period of sod all staff and a whole heap of ******, lack support, lack mod and theme approvals isnt important to members, that smf staff are getting back on track and we should all wait for these huge milestone announcements rather than what is probably most important to most members on a day to day basis

Bored of hearing about the big things in the future and announcements being made when those big things happen -  most people are more interested in day to day as they ask for support on a daily basis, submit mods and themes on daily basis and run their sites from day to day and the lack of staff seriously affected that and it would just been nice to tell people hey look we know things have been a bit dificult lately but we would like to welcome new staff members - (which could be updated if after the initial bulk of new staff were added further names were announced.) - rather than having to rely on listening to rumours and gossip for any changes happening.

What might be small things to SMF and its management can be big things to members and isn't SMF about it's community and it's members - like i said we don't need or want to know who said what and what things have been discussed over coffee and biscuits in the boardroom but we would like to know about things that affect us from day to day, like a bunch new staff being added.

That's why there's a "Censored words" feature, Lizzy...

That may be so, but that doesnt mean it's a polite thing to do. Besides, all he's doing by adding "stop talking about it" is causing it to be bumped, thereby more people see it, and that will cause more talk.

[kat]

Yeah, I'm with that. 


I think we ought to vote on having this entire topic removed, now, don't you?

[Magestickown]

I'm posting because I'm sick and tired of having this topic bump my Show new replies to your posts box. I posted once expecting this to be a troll thread.

You shouldn't of posted in a thread you had no interest in then, that way it wouldn't keep coming up would it...... you're a victim of your own stupidity

[razor_edge]

I am sick of talking about this. How much longer you reckon we can drag this out for? lol

What I've heard is that Simplemachines is forming with another unspecified name to create a new SMF, once 2.0 is final. Is that true?  Please don't ask me to tell you who passed this on.



p.s Hey Jade!

[kat]

SMF will stand for Superb Machines Forum.

I wonder if that would be considered big

I sorta forget what other nick you went under razor_edge. I just remember it was a nick that had alot of history with SMF. With that nagging thought I guess you would not throw out rumors or stir of nonsense.

Not stupidity.

Also there's another word for it. It's called ignorance...

Causing a topic that you don't want bumped to get bumped even more does seem a bit daft...

Explain to me how I was supposed to know 17000 people were going to view the topic and post in it daily?...

[kat]

You weren't.


That's the joy of a good forum.


You never know what'll happen next!

[bullbreedluverz]

Well as its a forum, topics get started, posts get made in it, more people post, then someone else posts etc etc etc so sorry if we are just doing what a forum is intended for but if it's any consolation i suppose you've learned a lesson here......

don't post in topics you have no real interest in and that way it won't come up on the Unread replies because other people have the audacity to post in the same topic.....

Oh I thought I was an idiot though. What happened to that?
