.... Juni: DDA is officially gone. His life has been getting steadily hectic and has now reached a breaking point. In short so Angil won't be confused: he's homeless. I won't go into more details but I think it's fair to say that. I think there's going to be a plan for the remaining Quidditch games. What's left is how should we do this in the future?

Angil that's okay with the lists. One of your house members seems to have done the count and uploaded it. I'll post it for you that way you won't have to go through trouble to do that.

Yeah poor DDA. But we're going to have to figure out a way to do Quiddich successfully next term.

In order to run a successful Quidditch season next term, we'll need to make sure to work out all the kinks in the system, DDA worked hard to get that thing where it is now, but I'm not convinced it doesn't need a little more tweaking. I'm sure we'll know what needs changing by the end of this month once the term is over.
The second thing we need is to equip a bunch of people with pre-made games next term so that if one person isn't able to set up the next game, another person will. I don't think this necessarily has to be a referee, it could just be all the mods or something. Those games need to be stored in a safe place so that somebody can update the subforum on time.
And the third... well I guess we'll need some referees. I think it's pretty obvious at this point that we can only trust that role to members who are dependable and active. Not to mention the fact that they probably shouldn't be quidditch players.

So... after having mod powers for a little while and observing the mod life, I've noticed something... is it just me or does this guild need a separate place for moderator communication? I'm sure it'd be easier on everybody's inboxes (especially if you aren't around all the time to check your messages) and alot easier to communicate things if there was.
I mean talking in here about projects and things that need to be updated is nice and all, but wouldn't it be better if there was a separate subforum to dump all the ideas in? That way we can talk about things separately without needing to squish them all into one place. It'd be a bit more neat and organized at least so that if we gotta put things aside we won't forget about them. And we could sticky the projects we prioritize. (Good god, I think I'm turning into a neat freak...)

(Good god, I think I'm turning into a neat freak...) One idea that I presented to KT ages ago and was really developing was that we use ADonis's journal as our communication. That won't be happening in the near future though. A separate subforum isn't needed.... a separate thread maybe? KT was really really strict about having anything Crew Only. I agree with her now after being part of this guild for some time. Quidditch really needs a whole revampment. I put blind faith in someone because he had good credentials. It's not happening again soon. I want to suggest Celestial Archer for the main position

Why'd the Adonis journal fall through anyway? Maybe we don't need a different subforum, but I still feel weird sticking everything in this thread and PMs. This thread seems to be less of a place for member feedback and more of a moderative type discussion. Actually, maybe we should just be more liberal with the Care-Taker's subforum... Have a different thread open for a different subforum's upkeep (including the main forum)and if there's any event talk it should be placed in its own thread? I mean we may as well make this place look as Care-Takery as it possibly can be razz

I think in Addition to having more threads open for various topics, we need to have a separate moderator only subforum. then we can prepare things and just have them ready to move into their respective forums when the time comes, like the quiddich games, why not make them, have them dated, and when the time comes to play them, move them to the quiddich pitch, whoever is online at the time can do it.

Eh, that'd only work if all of us moderators weren't quidditch players ourselves. Letting us see the games before them going up kinda gives us an unfair advantage don't you think?

Hm, that is a problem...well, we'll just have to set up games that don't concern our house or devolope a new quiddich system.
The other subforum could be useful for setting up new threads that we're not ready to have members see yet, be easier to surprise people with.

I like feedback threads. There's one already for the QUidditch subforum. (Mainly because of all those issues with activity and times with DDA. I was actually going to remove it when Quidditch got settled and stable) There can be one for every subforum, but are they really needed?? I like to use the least number of threads possible to get messages across. Our subforums aren't very large anyway. In the format I envisioned ages ago when I first suggested the Discussion subforum was that it would be our largest subforum primiarly for discussing or getting to know members. The second largest subforum would be games based on how many we can create. (Speaking of... we need TPAM game!) The other subforums are really orderly.
Anyway I agree we should develop a new Quidditch system. The last one was confusing to me anyway.
The Adonis idea fell through because.... well just know it was an idea that really could have worked, but it won't now.
I like the fact that there are no Crew Only subforums because it always gives members a voice. If they see all these discussions going on and they want to know what's happening this is a perfect place to be heard and add some feedback. Mods don't have all the answers. Not only that but primiarly mods discuss ideas in the thread in the RG forum, so that's our development topic too.
Just to clarify: I am opposed to Crew Only because I think it privates things too much. I'm all for locking a subforum temporairly while we prepare threads but lockign them out of something permanently is something KT never did. I loved the way she did things. I'm all for modernizing and updating ideas but to completely revamp them isn't ideal for me. I'm not for the SFQ threads for every subforum, but I'm not against them either. I just don't think they are needed at a time like this, when our subforums aren't that large. We only have 100 active members and about 7 subforums already. That doesn't add up.
I see no problem with this being a moderation type thread. When people have a question, we answer them. Most people who PMed me get their answers from this thread while we discuss. The more open a guild the more trust we can gain and therefore more activity. I don't want to leave anyone in the dark. I like this being the one thread everyone can discuss in. We don't need (at least not now) a bunch of threads about everything.
There. That's my opinions I think I've covered everything.

I like thid thread fopr mass topics, but it's easy to get lost in here as well, with the mini S.F.Qs, we can address major topics, like in the quiddich one right now we can revise the way we do quiddich, it'll also make it easier for members to go and give their inputs on specifics rather than sifting through this big thread. When you're not a mod, sometimes it's hard to know where it's appropriate or when to bring up a topic. I think the other threads can be mostly for member feedback.

This thread was really supposed be for members' feedback. Then after the summer's hard work it turned out there were lots of problems so we started discussing here. I guess I can see where people can get confused. Juni?Love?Alutian?Anyone else?

It's exactly why I felt we needed some separation in the first place. The S.F.Q. didn't feel like an S.F.Q. anymore with all the discussions going on. I just want some separate threads where we can have our discussions and not be changing the purposes of this thread.
I don't really want a moderator subforum anymore, its not a great necessity right now I realize. I just wanna make sure we remember what this thread is before we end up turning it into something it isn't.

Right. So are we changing the name of this thread? What are you guys going to do? This is the best place for us to decide issues and it's also a good place for someoen to get their questions solved.
