Re: The Official Talk About Whatever Thread

[dostoevsky]

Can't put both and they didn't put up a pirate flag option. Anyway, I don't really consider it that important.

The admins + Kizz are carried over from the goal.com forums, they were posters who gave up their time and effort back then and who created these forums as instant response to goal.com randomly closing their forums without warning. I'm the only new mod since the move since the Milan section is huge and the admins decided it required a moderator.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Yes, well who picked them on the Goal forums?
I WAS ON THE GOAL.COM FORUMS, YOU KNOW.
The only downside to these ones is that it's blocked at school ==

[dostoevsky]

Not sure about the initial admins, though I'm pretty sure it would be the same process of popular election that JD, Kizz and moi went through. At least I'm fairly certain JD was an election.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

JD?
Is admin or mod better?

RealGunner (Y)

[BarcaKizz]

dostoevsky, you don't happen to be Australian, do you?
.__.

Who else goes on this forum? lol

Anyway Dost...Italian-Australian?? Well in my books if you live in Australia then you're Australian. What is Australian? In truth... Australians are Australian Aborigines... the rest of us are just the modern day inhabitants of this land. It doesn't matter if you're family has been here 200 years or 10.

I think its cool that people like to hold on to their identity as having a nationality other than 'Australian', but I don't think they should be seen as conflicting. This has led to disgusting things like the Cronulla Riots. Part of being Australian in today's society for many people is having your own cultural identity.

I think you should see yourself as Australian and Italian. Have pride fella!


Interesting hypothetical: If you had the choice of playing for Italy or Australia in football, who would you choose? (Disregard sporting matters and history etc. I want this done on a matter of feeling.)

[dostoevsky]

Admins can ban people.

But Kizz and I deal with fewer crazy people because we have less responsibility.

Also Kizz, I'm an Italian citizen and I'm an Australian citizen, so Italian-Australian seems about as official a description as I can give. If what youi mean is I should say Italian and Australian without the hyphen, then fair enough. Unofficially though I'm totally Asian.

For feeling, I'd definitely play for Italy. It would depend on who gave me my chance though, I wouldn't believe on turning my back on those who believed in me. If I had the talent to be noticed by both though, I would go with Italy on feeling, even if I knew I'd be turning my back on the more successful team. Italy resonates with me more, though I love living in Australia.

Actually there hasn't really ever been elections for moderator positions.

On the Goal.com forums the Admin was Morpheus who worked for Goal.com. There were a few other admins, but they were virtually non-existent. Morph pretty much chose RealGunner, McLewis and Redoranje as moderators (I'm sure they were nominated and backed by popular approval) once the forum became big.

There was also a poster called Larisano, a Barca fan, who was one of the earlier mods. He had to leave so I was asked by Morph to take over as the mod of the Barca section. Considering I rarely posted in the general section (pretty much never), I just was a Barca mod. I guess this is why I was not made an admin here lol I went away for a while so Barcafandani (The Franchise) replaced me for a bit, but then I came back so we were both mods.

JackDaniels (Kantutan) and DeviAngel were made mods quite recently by Morpheus but they were key in making this forum so basically that core of people became admins... I continued as a moderator and Dost was excellently chosen for mod on the Milan section.

Interestingly... I lobbied Morph for a Socceroos section for a few months... and thats why we're here

[dostoevsky]

^^^

So pretty much ignore everything I just said about choosing mods because it was horrifically inaccurate.

I miss Larisano's presence, he's a wonderful poster.

I'm going to get some study done before a few hours sleep, good night fellas.

Excuse me if I wish your team terrible luck and say that whenever you close your eyes tonight my signature shall haunt your dreams

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

THE FRANCHISE IS BARCAFANDANI?
D:

It's just moderator sounds cooler than admin, so I was disappointed that RealGunner was 'only' an admin.
I mean, he's only got two stars on his profile or whatever :L
What can moderators do then?

Fair enough.

What really annoys me is some Italian, Serbian etc. etc. communities in Australia often boo Australia... or worse, swear at them etc. I really don't like this hostile attitude and I'm not sure why these people do it. It goes the other way I guess, as some other Australians are hostile to these communities. I just would like everyone to be proud and thankful of the fact they live here, and get along. I want peace and pride man

Completely different, but it also annoys me (though I don't blame them if its genuine feeling of course) that we lose so many good players to other countries. Ersan Gulum was a good recent example. Cristian Vieri is probably the best... Vieri is not as extreme as Gulum though... Gulum sounds Australian, he is Australian and practically the main reason he isn't playing for Australia is because his grandpa or something told him to play for Turkey... This is sad...

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Well you won't get peace and pride by smoking (:

On the old forums I could also ban people... but on here I actually haven't even wanted to ban people... so its fine.

We edit posts, threads... make things stickies... can merge threads etc. Pretty much we have complete control over the actual forum in terms of discussion. Maybe I shall demonstrate my mod powers shortly...

[BarcaKizz]

Depends on what you're smoking...

But for the record... I smoke neither... but there's that idea of the 'peace-pipe' no?

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Oh no, that's just crap ==

I go to school, then stay at home FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. NOT ALL OF THE DAY .__.
I'm rather boring.

Kizz, you are a god though. Thought I'd just let you know.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Don't worry Beatrix, in 9 hours ANY Barcelona avatar is probably going to be painful for me.

Well that wasn't that bad.

Wish I was Australian.

That is all
