Which series of Star Trek are you crafting the zone in the image of. I recommend DS9 as that is the greatest of all Star Trek series. (waits for flames)

Kitsune openparenthesiscaretclosedparenthesis your "siggy" makes no sense at all.

@D1st0rt This takes placeafter Voyager, so this is a Series of it's own.

You know for certain that it is a year closer to being launched. we are actually hoping for New years but you cant really tell with these internet games.

newb, I think he was referring to making the ini and actual lvz file from graphics somebody else supplied.

UPDATE: Bad news. I might possibly lose my Head Sysop. Not much I can do since she's working on a populated zone. I can respect that she's working on many zones, but I need a Head Sysop who's dedicated to my zone, like at least stopping in for an hour once a day.

She hasn't shown up in 3 days now, hasn't answered my PMs via MSN, and apparently doesn't seem to care much what I decide to do, from what I've got out of her on PMs on this board.

It's just confusing. First she seems anxious to help me get the zone going, and now I never even hear from her. I mean how does that happen?

Anyways. I can't say I can blame her, not too mad at her, but I do need to think about whats best for the zone. And the zone isn't going to get very far with an inactive Head Sysop.

I've given her one week from now to decide what she wants to do. If she decides not to stay with this zone, i'll be looking for a replacement, nothing personal.

Default+ if you come across this, mabye you'll understand better as to why im forced to do this, if I hurt you in any way, i'm sorry.

EDIT: Didn't see your post above. Well it's because Contempt is having network problems atm.

Ok, just got back from a rather disturbing conversation with Default+. I don't even think it was Default+ but none the less, i'm taking her threat seriously.

For those who are interested, this is the chat log.

(13:30:05) Default+: hi, just got back from work, and it is your choice to fire me. why did you go to sse, anyways
(13:30:23) Jon: Highly recommended by people I knew.
(13:30:29) Jon: http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?p=53461#53461
(13:30:31) Jon: Page 2
(13:30:34) Jon: Read.
(13:30:44) Default+: i have read that alreay
(13:30:52) Jon: I just made a post.
(13:30:52) Default+: i can read also
(13:31:15) Default+: well, you do what you like
(13:31:21) Jon: So you dont care then?
(13:31:22) Default+: no hard feelings
(13:31:27) Default+: i do care
(13:31:44) Default+: but when you pm i am not at my pc
(13:31:48) Jon: Heck of a time showing it.. -_- I mean you could at least say hi once in a while.
(13:31:59) Jon: Well it says your online.
(13:32:06) Jon: And I see you afk in another zone you never told me about.
(13:32:16) Default+: pff my cat normally goes on my desk
(13:32:19) Default+: so
(13:32:23) Jon: O.o
(13:32:27) Default+: not me
(13:32:32) Default+: i am at work
(13:32:48) Default+: theres nothing else to say
(13:33:09) Default+: block me if you want to
(13:33:16) Default+: no hard feels
(13:33:23) Jon: All I ask is for somehting do be done in 1 week from now, that's next tuestday.
(13:33:38) Jon: And a little more activity.
(13:33:46) Jon: And why would I want to block you?
(13:33:46) Default+: i am so active
(13:33:57) Default+: pff boy do what you want
(13:34:17) Default+: its your zone
(13:34:30) Default+: i have nothing against you
(13:34:37) Default+: you just go on on on
(13:35:26) Jon: Oh really? Fine then. 1 week. After that I wont have any guilt left in firing you. I have to do what's best for the zone.
(13:35:38) Default+: lol
(13:35:44) Jon: And Sometimes being a zone owner involves making the tough choices.
(13:35:56) Default+: bye
(13:36:07) Default+: you zone will never be online
(13:36:12) Default+: no hard feels
(13:36:13) Jon: Whys that?
(13:36:19) Default+: bye blocked and delete
(13:36:28) Default+ logged out.
(13:36:28) Default+ has closed the conversation window.

The threat was made here : "(13:36:07) Default+: you zone will never be online "
#1 This person didn't even appear to talk like the Default+ I knew on these forums.
#2 I can't belive she'd say things like that, comparing her supposed personality now to the one I just got to know a few days ago.
#4 Nonetheless, this is a security precaution, and I will take action to revoke all sysop access immeditley. If in the event my zone is attacked via MSDoS, I got backup disks in a CD case on my desk. I make backups daily so don't count on me worrying to much.
#5 If it involves the SSC Council, bring them to this thread to see for themselfs if I have commited any crimes or not, It would be an honor to stand before the Council Mmebers. :)
#6 I guess i'm going to have to look for a replacement now.

Maybe her cat typed that.

cypherus · Novice Age:111 Joined: Nov 23 2005 Posts: 44 Offline

Yeah mabye her cat did all of that too.

But then the cat would still be a security risk. Mabye i'm doing something wrong to deserve this, but I really don't think so.

But if being a nice guy is the problem then mabye I should be acting more like Bill Lumberg from Office Space space and start messaging Dev Team members with stuff like: Hi there, whaaats happening? Look, i'm gonna need you, to work late tommrow, so if you could work all 24 hours tommorow, that would be greeeaat. We uh, lost some people this week, and um.. we need to sorta play catchup, mmkay? Oh oh, and I almost forgot!.. I'm also gonna need you to work late on sunday... mmkay?
Thanks...

Weither you want me as myself or Bill Lumberg, i'll at least have a poll for staff members to vote on what kind of boss they want

Ah, subspace politics. Back in the day when I ran my zone if you didn't show up for a week and didn't have an excuse you were axed. I never expected staff to spend every minute in the zone however I expected them to take 30 seconds and email me telling me "hey, i won't be here and this is why".

Whether that was or wasn't Default+ zone owners have consistently made the mistake of letting some obscure host have control of their zones. Gemini Dream, Confess, Lady_Death and now Default+. I wouldn't trust even trust these people with a news.txt based on everything that's happened due to their actions in the past.

I can tell you right now that the best option would to remove your zone and find a credible host. Most of these 'servers' are backwoods dsl/cable connections run by teenagers. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never leave the running of any type of server to a teenager. From the sounds of things, it doesn't sound like Default+ is a teenager however she sure acts irresponsible and there have already been several complaints geared towards her direction. I do not believe she has the knowledge nor the patience to be a host. She asks a lot of stupid questions on the forums that any host should have known ages ago.
