Hey guys! Aust here!
So – while the D3P0 section didn’t get lynched – Dan kinda lynched D3P0 – so grah. NOT what I’m here to talk about though.
I’m here because, if people still check the SPOTM blog – we’re in a bit of a rejuvination. Local troll and resident asshole Asher, AKA bombmaniac – in the wake of getting IP-banned, managed to not only hack the admin account, but post as Dan and kick-start a rejuvination project. After a bit of a fumble and Zang getting demoted, the project is underway.
A new sub-section was made in Projects – Go check it out!
Also – since the rejuvination and the (promised) return of Dan will likely get us more active members and traffic – the management decided to hire new mods, and admins. Right now we are modless and the (active) Admin staff consist of Rob, Erin, Jean (aka UnfairBear – newly promoted), OtherRob (aka newschooled – also newly promoted), and RadicallyBlue (sorta newly promoted – he’s the new Webmaster).
Now, since we no longer have moderators, the management is currently holding moderator elections. That can be found here.
I’m not petty – so I’m not going to promote myself here – it’d be slightly unfair since I’m the only candidate with access to this blog’s dashboard. I will, however say this: You should vote for Asher.
In fact – Asher shouldn’t be on that list – he should already be a moderator. This who rejuvination and second life is thanks to Asher, and there probably isn’t anybody who cares about the moon more then him at this point.
Also – There’s been talk about renewing Triads – I joined the moon after they pretty much died – so I’m totally confused about them, and staying out of it until it sorts itself out.
Also, also – project plugging time!
- From Rob we have Charity Month
- From OtherRob it’s A Sketch a Day
- Finally – from myself: A Proposal to Update/Fix the Wiki
And that’s all I’ve got for now – have a nice day.
Alright PogoTribe – I’ve had the chance to actually think this through without the influence of painkillers.
Aust has some things to say.
Now, as is generally accepted, the Moon has died, risen, and is now lurching around very zombie-like. Christine O’Donnell has infiltrated our ranks, and is disguising herself as one of us. The Old Spice Guy is, well, he’s just there.
Dan Brown (not the author) started the forum as a part of Dan 3.0 – and as a group of people – like the Nerdfighters, but without the Vlog Brothers – doing projects to decrease worldsuck. A noble cause, sure, but at the same time, it seems, to me anyways, to be a Ning wannabe.
Dan has abandoned us – he may come back at the end of D3P0, but as it stands, he’s not a part of us anymore.
And he’s taken most of the forum with him.
All that’s left is us: The PogoTribe – the people who joined, for the most part, thanks to Dan’s influence – but who remained in the wake of the exodus of people leaving.
Just a quick roll-call – the people who I know are active, and hanging around all over the place:
- Aust (obviously)
- Alex (sorry!)
- Rob
- Eirn
- Zang
- Imposter Rob (newschooled)
- Jean
- Jackson
- Swim
- Flappy
- Ryan
- Imposter Ryan (aka ryan – change your display name and avatar man)
- Sara
- Nancy
- Freddy
and MAYBE Lex, James, and Bombmaniac
But there it is – the 14 of us are the most active members, it’s less a forum, and more a club. A very awesome club, but a club none-the-less. This isn’t to say that we aren’t the only actives – but we’re the ones that are in every section, contributing to pretty much every discussion.
We are The PogoTribe – and we are not a group comprised of Dan Brown’s fans and viewers. We are our own.
So, here’s my question – do we Keep Strong and Carry On waiting for Dan? Or do we take the Moon, and make it our own, and give up on Dan?
And if we make it our own, how do we go about it?
Either way – I say, as I have before, and will continue to say until it happens.
Lynch the Dan 3.0 section!
