Hosting Changes

[Renew Deal]

Today we are implementing the changes requested in the last hosting poll. I will be solely responsible for hosting decisions in this group. All of the other hosts will be removed.

Does anyone have an objection with me keeping on ZombieHorde as a backup? There may be a time when I'm away or unavailable and I might ask him to cover. ZH was part of the original hosting group and I trust that he understands what we're trying to do.

1. Let me make sure I understand what you are asking

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You and Zombiehorde will be the only hosts listed. However, you will be the sole person making the decisions unless you are away in which case ZH will act as your substitute?[/font]

3. Yes

And by the way, I like your font. I saw someone hassling you about that but couldn't respond at the time.

5. Thank you for the compliment

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]And I don't have a problem with what you are proposing at all.

I want to thank you, and all the previous hosts for all the hard work you put into this group. I don't interact with you much but from everything I have seen you have always called things down the middle and fairly.

I want to give you my deepest thanks for that.[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]

11. That was probably me you saw hassling her about it.

I find it really distracting and hard to read, but I am hypersensitive to things like that.

She very graciously agreed to not use it when responding directly to me, which I very much appreciate.

16. In all fairness to you

I think RD is referring to this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6014557

As always if anyone does not like it, let me know & I'll make note not to use it when replying.

17. As you say in that thread, some people like it and some people don't.

I think the key is your willingness to accommodate those that find it difficult to read, and I very much appreciate that about you.

2. Well done, hosts.

And a big thank you to the hosts that are stepping down.

I have no objection to ZH staying on as backup and I think that is a wise decision.

Kudos to you all.

4. I said I will support your decision, so I will.

No objections.

Thanks to longship and xchrom for their sevvice to this room.

Thanks to Zombiehorde for his continuing service to this room.

6. I have no objection

and I do think it is a good idea to have a backup, since you might actually have better things to do sometimes.

Thanks to all who have been hosts in the past, and good luck. I hope that your responsibilities will be minimal.

[Warren Stupidity]

7. That's fine with me.

The only thing I would like to add is that if you ever decide to stop hosting please just remove all (two) of the hosts and let the admins take over the hosting role, so we do not have to go through this nonsense again.

8. It's good to see that the poll results were respected. Thank you,

and good luck.

[trotsky]

20. +1 n/t

[longship]

9. I support ZombieHorde as well.

As long as he does not eat too many of our brains.

Now, the question is, can this group get back to respectful discussion without personal attacks?

I sincerely hope so.

[cbayer]

10. Get back to? You slay me, longship.

Thank you for hosting this group. Having been there before, I know it is not always easy, even though there is generally nothing to be done. It does make you a lightning rod to some extent.

BTW, I purchased some talismans which keep ZombieHorde a safe 5 feet away from me at all times. I would be glad to send you one.

[longship]

12. Thankfully he is one of the good ZombieHordes.

So our brains are safe... For now... So it would seem.

[cbayer]

18. Honestly, I don't think he's a horde at all, but just a lone zombie.

He just uses that horde thing as a cover so people will be seriously afraid.

[longship]

19. How can anybody be afraid of a good zombie...

Who has sworn off brains... Except his own.



I dunno how far I can stretch these posts.

[kdmorris]

13. I have no objection to that

Everyone needs a backup so that they can go on vacation.

At least that's what I'm told at work

[pinto]

14. Sounds good to me.

[Goblinmonger]

15. ......

[bvf]

21. Excellent calls--welcome change. n/t.

[ZombieHorde]

22. Hopefully the jury system will handle most of the situations that arise in this group.

[cbayer]

23. Thanks for agreeing to stay on as a back up, ZH.
