A question to Zok.

[The Duke]

Well Zok, now that totse is in it's last day, I have a question for you. You might have answered this before on some occasion, but you tend to forget things over a span of 5 years.

How was it that you became an admin of totse? How did you feel being made admin? What were the good/bad aspects of having such a responsibility?

[cronic5]

Zok USED to have a bio about himself on this site and how becoming an admin on totse was.

I think it's been removed so I'll let Zok chime in here.

[Zok]

I became an admin because there were too many things on &t that needed to be changed and too many users that needed banning which Jeff and JC couldn't take care of. JC still posted at the time - being a mutual friend to both me and Jeff, JC suggested me to Jeff as a possible candidate. Suzie (wintermute) was also made admin at the same time.

I enjoyed it at first, after a while it grew tiresome - especially since Jeff rarely posted or fixed problems with the sites. I intend to be an active admin here.

J.C. Stanton was always more mysterious than Jeff Hunter. To me at least.

Again, thanks. One of the things that killed Totse was the lack of interest by some in the administration. It's good to know we have a dedicated person in charge of things now. But seriously, if you read this, go to the New Forums thread. Lot's of people, me included, have contributed good ideas. If you're not too busy, it'd be nice if you could check up. :)

I'm on my way!

[The Duke]

Yeah, I don't think I was around for J.C. Stanton, or maybe I just wasn't paying attention. I sure hope you're an attentive admin here, it is your site after all!

Zok and Wintermute Were/Are the best. Hello Duke!!!

It's nice to see an admin who actually responds to members. Imagine, leadership who treats us like we matter, on some level.

Fittingly, it's the obsessive interest many users have with the administration that could potentially be killing Zoklet right now.

I know this is an 18 month old post, but it's an interesting parallel that's arisen over these 18 months.

[-SpectraL]

I find it very interesting that Zok was quite... errr... frustrated with Jeff, and yet we have a parallel which indicates the same kind of thing happened here. I guess history does actually repeat itself, don't it?

The only reason history repeats itself, is when different people go through the SAME tactics/behaviors. Hearing Zok post......

I intend to be an active admin here.


...is downright laughable. Having those words roll through your head after witnessing the last 18 months makes that some of the most comical/insincere/unfulfilled text ever put up in the history of the internetz.

A parallel from your perspective, perhaps.

Perhaps you should post a perspective that is NOT parallel, because in case you haven't noticed you are in the vast minority of ONE person who isn't scoffing at the empty promises/actions from Zok's keyboard. :cool:

You have individually asked every user on this site, and discovered every single one disagrees with Lovecraft?

lol, an active contributor would have been more better IMO.

Nah, just witnessing all the posters who posted on this thread in 2010, and are actually making topical comments about Zok and his adminning skillz(?). On a side note, since you decided not to make a topical comment yet on this thread.....would you like to give your opinion?

What exactly went through your mind when you read Zok's old post of....."I intend to be an active admin here"..... now that everything has played out the way it has?

Don't worry Qhost, from your recent history since you've been modded...I don't think many people expect an HONEST answer to that question, so indulge to your heart's content. :p

"I intend to be a active admin"

Yes, this was true when it was said, Zok posted often and did a good job, and I see no reason the statement is wrong.

However, now, Zok has taken the step back, allowing Fish to comefoward, so if you take activity as actually seeing him on the forums, then no, he is no longer active. In terms of behind the scenes, he still works on the website and keeps the server running.

Thats my honest answer.

Edit, this was the 290,000 post in GS, WOOOOOOOO

[Former_Member]

Whatever issues you have with Zok (I have only a few, but that's neither here nor there), you can't exactly claim he wasn't active. I wasn't so ingrained in totse, but the admin staff there were nowhere near as accessible and pro-active as they have been over here.

[poast-bortem!]

I was referencing to how inactive he is currently. :facepalm:

[zombo.com]

aww, maybe he realized that he's under no obligation to lsiten to or respond to...well pretty much fucking anything?
all you little bitches have this odd sense of entitlement, like a motherfucker owes you, because you're doing him the honor of posting on his site.

Post, don't post. it's on you, and if you post shit, then that's on you too.

christ you lot are pitiful.

I don't know, all his butt buddies he decided to mod will still blindly agree with anything positive said about him and reject anything negative, no matter how true.

[Virus]

You'd be surprised how often people disagree with him over policy.

In terms of him being active? If the site bugs keep on getting fixed in a timely manner by him , I'm cool with it.

Yeah, he does owe us.

Not in legal terms or whatever, but as the host of the community we are well within our rights to demand a shit load from him. This is our community, not Zok's website. We're entitled to demand anything, you're the one overstepping the boundaries by asking us not to.

Don't get all butthurt at the troubles now, grow up and realise that this isn't as simple as "this is Zok's site, end of". That current butthurt childishness you just pumped out is a serious risk in terms of alienated the people who've stayed faithful to the current administration and stewardship; if those were the words of Zok himself I'd certainly lose faith in it.

Our community, make no mistake.

What does Zos care, he'll always be mod, thus he'll always think he's better than all the regulars, cos he's one of the people modded simply because he guzzles on Zoks e-cock, not because he's sensible or wants to make this community better.

The whole 'wires controls zoklet' thing is a myth as far as I'm concerned. In terms of moderators decisions getting overturned, they are usually done by kite-- (I harass her because I disagree with her frequently) but 9/10 I can follow her logic for a reversal. She was also a big proponent of the warn first system (something maybe 4 of us in the start used) and now it's an official policy.

Tbh I'm half joking with it now.

Tbh totse.info has made me realise Zoklet is quite good, it just needs some serious tweaking. Totse.info is all right n'all, it can be good, but at the same time.... it's lacking a feeling of longevity. I get the feeling totse.info is guna fail or become real slow and everyone will slowly migrate back to here anyway. I'll still post and browse there, but I'll be here a bit more too. I realise I'm guna achieve jack in helping make Zoklet better cos none of the admins will listen to me, even though I'm blatantly right, and they'll carry on making retarded decisions, just using Fish as their public face, but still holding his chains.

lmao, i never spoke to zok before i got modded, i ended up mod because i pushed for a grow forum and sharp and SMU needed someone who had the interest and enough knowledge to do it.
I seldom spoke to him after...no real need, the boards up, i can post shit, people can post to ask questions...really as long as the joint runs, i'm satisfied.

I just think you kids are hilarious.

I think i've opened irc a grand total of a half dozen times.

Hilarious enough to make two embittered, and one highly defensive, post(s) about the whole situation. When you start chucking shit like 'kids' around you've lost all credibility, and are frankly acting extremely childish.

Thank you sir(?).

Shut up Tree, nothing you post ever makes sense. Fucking retard, literally. Oh but wait, that's probably because you're somehow more enlightened then my underdeveloped mind, right? You're trolling is so over-done and exhausted. Just fuck off.

Ryan, I think of you as a kid, too. Rather you see it or not, the majority of your posts come off as very childish. You remind me of a little shit brat constantly arguing for no reason and trying to prove irrelevant points to make you seem smart and grown up. At the same time, you also come off as snobbish and overly-arrogant. You suck.

You remind me of some star treck geek whos aunt has a yeast infection. but worse. like extra lamesauce.
