Title: I hereby offer my letter of resignation
Post by: dalebert on January 30, 2014, 12:37:11 PM
Since Ian won't install the most basic spambot-blocking software, I find it rather tedious to be a moderator.  Also because banned people somehow think I care and will reverse the decision of other mods(??). Not sure how they got that into their heads. I have demoted myself and have no power to help you even if I did care. I'm not sure if "FTL Creative Team" is appropriate. I didn't see anything that looked just right. I will not be offended if mods feel the need to change it.

You mean besides what's actually on the show itself?

Haha! Seriously?

Googling with Bing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYVCk10AzS0#ws)

It's harder than it sounds. Believe it or not, there are a lot of actual porn stars named "Archer".

Yeah, this website is starting to show it's age..

Plus it tries to piece together like 8 pieces of software to create a unified experience - which it does actually pretty well..

But since social media is changing so fast..

I once thought about ripping all the FTL material and building my own website.. I didn't because:

1) Writing a script to rip the whole page would be disruptive..
2) I would offend countless people..
3) I am a pot head and then I got high.. (hehe j/k)

... but the fact that it's advertised as a "BBS" means that anything aged on the site is acceptably "retro", and actually kinda cool. See?

Umm.. a BBS was very progressive in it's day.. I knew people who ran them - they changed the code and scripting almost constantly..

And Retro is cool as long as it is usable.. if Dalebert quit because the software sucks that's not cool..

I posted a convenient addon that would have handled most of the spambot spam and got crickets. So it's not that the software sucks. There is obviously free stuph available that would have drastically improved it.
