I have seen much sniping around here as of late about the state of the forum both technically and moderationally. Simple groaning and complaining doesn't solve anything, so let's pool our ideas for the site: Here are some of the concerns I've seen voiced, and I encourage you all to weigh in on them: 1) Money paid to support the site but no actual changes being made. 2) Lack of moderation and, in particular, the absence of the owner of the site. 3) An increase of death threats. 4) DubTurbo. I know this list isn't exhaustive so please feel free to add as you go. |

1) Money paid to support the site but no actual changes being made. How much money are we referring to? Hosting isn't free. Just keeping the site 'as is' costs money. 2) Lack of moderation and, in particular, the absence of the owner of the site. You should see how they wail when we do moderate. It appears that unless three moderators are here, about 16 hours a day, the overwhelming majority think that we don't have the "right" to impose any control. I suppose it's likely laws that are never enforced; when you get stung by them, you feel hard done by because "all my friends do it all the time and they never got in trouble for it". You know, even though it's just a privately owned site on the interwebs and it's not like your civil liberties have been harmed by being given a time out. Oh and Phobiazero still observes. 3) An increase of death threats. Online death threats are great. They're one of those things where someone they're targeted at can be a really vindictive cock and contact the police and claim they thought it was real and before you know it, some man in his mid twenties with bad acne is getting a sudden visit IRL from the rozzers. Given the light-hearted nature of this place, even the most paranoid chain-joint-smoking freak would never imagine this actually happening, so they never bother to anonymize their connection to Zilty. 4) DubTurbo. Damn, thanks for that, you reminded me. Before I spend a lot of time and effort and call in some favours unnecessarily, please can people (ideally those who were most upset by the DubTurbo offer) please give their opinion on Ohm Studio? I happen to think it's good and would love to do an XLT vibes using it. Phobia and I have been in discussion with Ohm Force, but I'd rather sound our wonderful community out on it first, before proceeding. |

RE: Ohm Studio, It sounds like a great idea but I would want to see a video of it in action before I'd spend the money to download a crack. |

btw, about the money, iirc it would cost next to nothing to run xlt as is, but phobez keeps saying he wants to do so much more with the site which is where the inflated costs come from. and prolly going on somewhere close to a decade of false promises about a new version coming, it's pretty fucking hard to take any of that on good faith. the only actual change the site has seen so far was a newsletter blasting dubturbo, which is.... BAD |

maybe he just listened to 2/3 of the members and decided to leave it as-is. that's my vote. i think it's easy to forget this board has been running solidly for over a decade. a few bad mustard seeds aside, it's a fun little hotdog stand, and i didn't feel right refusing when the plate came around, even if i sort of suspected this is how things would pan out. |

been using pirated copies of ohmboys, ohmforce, and predatohm for years. i pirated them when i was a poor student, and i might consider a legal copy at this point. |

1) Log In. 2) Do some moderating. 3) Repeat 1 and 2 regularly. |

At least post a pic of the drugs bought with the donation money that was meant for xlt v 10.7, to let those who contributed know that they were loved. Or post a heartwarming, wine-drinking scene with Phobz and Mr. DUBturbo; candle light glistening in the background like stars. |
