Custom BIONICLE Wiki:Board Meeting/Archive B/Session 5

Log of BMS5B 21:16	Shadowmaster	Since Chicken Bond is not here, I shall officially call this board meeting to order. 21:17	mibbit	#Wikimetru: No such nickname online. 21:17		+++ Shadowmaster set the channel to mode +i 21:17	J97Auditore	Right, what have we to discuss tonight? 21:17	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:17	Shadowmaster	Well, first off, I'd like to introduce to the rare visitor who actually reads the logs our guest, former admin SubAqua. 21:17	Varkanax	Yes? 21:18	LuctoretEmergo	Thank you very much! 21:18	Shadowmaster	Now, to the business. 21:18	Shadowmaster	One matter that has come of concern to a member or two is SlicerBot. 21:19	Shadowmaster	TheSlicer has, or had, the password to access SlicerBot even after his return. 21:19	Shadowmaster	Hold on, I'll be right back. 21:19	J97Auditore	I'd just say change the password. 21:20	LuctoretEmergo	It would stand to reason that a normal user does not have any acces to SlicerBot, so therefore I advise doing what J97 said 21:20	Shadowmaster	Well, the password is changed, yes. 21:21	Shadowmaster	I'd just like to hold a vote on whether he should be able to use the account or not, since TDG seemed to have wanted this. 21:21	J97Auditore	I'd say no. 21:21	J97Auditore	SlicerBot is for the admins to use. 21:21	Shadowmaster	I, personally, say no, because Slice is no longer an admin and it isn't his position to be using an administrator-level bot even for maintenance. 21:21	J97Auditore	Yeah. 21:21	Shadowmaster	Your word, SA, Varkanax, Jmanliciousness? 21:22	LuctoretEmergo	I agree with Shadowmaster aswell 21:22	Shadowmaster	Alright, so that's 3 no. 21:22	Shadowmaster	That's already a determined vote. 21:22	Shadowmaster	Varkanax, Jmanliciousness, do you have any input for this matter? 21:22	Varkanax	No. 21:22	Varkanax	I agree. 21:22	Varkanax	I GTG now... 21:22	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:23	Varkanax	Off the internet. 21:23	J97Auditore	See ya. 21:23		*** Varkanax quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 21:23	LuctoretEmergo	I've tried talking to Jman aswell, on skype 21:23	LuctoretEmergo	but he hasn't replied yet 21:23	J97Auditore	I'd say that motion is passed. 21:23	Shadowmaster	Yes, motion passed. 21:24	Shadowmaster	I'll assume Jman is idling and move on. 21:24	J97Auditore	I just realized that I'm saying "I'd say" a lot tonight. 21:24	Shadowmaster	Ugh, it looks like we may have to cut this meeting short. 21:24	J97Auditore	There's still a matter I want to discuss. 21:24	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:24	Shadowmaster	Go ahead. 21:24	J97Auditore	Main page updates. 21:25	Shadowmaster	Yes, that's been a pressing matter recently. What about it? 21:25	LuctoretEmergo	They seem to be behind quite severly 21:25	Jmanliciousness	Back 21:25	J97Auditore	What do you all think about the vote for a specialized team for the updates? 21:26	Shadowmaster	I'm somewhat opposed to it. 21:26	Shadowmaster	Because it requires a security decrease for the main page. 21:26	Shadowmaster	But since it'll allow faster updating, I voted for. 21:26	Jmanliciousness	Well, that's the admin team's own fault for never updating it. 21:27	Shadowmaster	Well, we try. We've got our own matters to attend to. 21:27	LuctoretEmergo	I am wondering where you would even dind a team dedicated enough for the task 21:27	Shadowmaster	And I'll address that. 21:27	Shadowmaster	Well, I was thinking maybe Jman, the rollbacks, and maybe some others like M1. 21:27	J97Auditore	I'm leaning towards having a team to do it. 21:27	J97Auditore	Because we're seen how fast the admins do it. 21:28	Shadowmaster	By the way, if anyone is reading this, don't be offended if you weren't mentioned. 21:28	Shadowmaster	I think we should hold a forum vote on who to do these tasks. 21:28	Shadowmaster	I'll choose some people and we'll do it like we did the BoT member vote. 21:28	J97Auditore	Right. 21:29	J97Auditore	I'm all for a vote. 21:29	LuctoretEmergo	alright 21:29	Shadowmaster	Alright. I'll start one after the motion passes. 21:29	Shadowmaster	Are we agreed on this? 21:29	LuctoretEmergo	I'm with the formation of the team. I think it's good to put in faith into your users 21:29	J97Auditore	I am. 21:29	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:30	Shadowmaster	I'd think of implementing only the amount of users as there are main page sections. 21:30	J97Auditore	Alright. 21:31	LuctoretEmergo	Very well 21:31	J97Auditore	Anything else on anyone's mind? 21:31	Shadowmaster	So, 9 users, I guess. 21:31	Shadowmaster	Yes, I have a matter to bring forth. 21:31	Jmanliciousness	Hmmm 21:31	Shadowmaster	I think we need to do 2 things. 21:32	Shadowmaster	1: We need to advertise Mibbit more. Guys, can you try your best to advertise Mibbit to your fullest extent? 21:32	Shadowmaster	Mibbit's somewhat of a connector for the community and the administrators. 21:32	Jmanliciousness	I think we should advertise the YouTube channel more, if I say so myself. 21:32	Shadowmaster	That, too. 21:32	Shadowmaster	And CBW itself. 21:32	Shadowmaster	I'll try to put some videos on the YT channel, perhaps when I get my laptop back. 21:32	LuctoretEmergo	You need to fix the link too, as the CBW link gets you towards a channel we're not using 21:33	J97Auditore	I'll do what I can. 21:33	Shadowmaster	Which should be tomorrow. 21:33	Shadowmaster	Yeah, I need to update the toolbar. 21:33	J97Auditore	The link was changed to Wikimetruth I believe. 21:33	LuctoretEmergo	indeed, J97 21:33	Shadowmaster	Yeah, it's the right link. 21:33	Jmanliciousness	Also 21:33	Shadowmaster	Other things are wrong links, though, like the voting center. 21:34	Jmanliciousness	I think it should be known that users /can/ submit their own videos to the channel. 21:34	Jmanliciousness	More info on the Director's Program page. 21:34	Shadowmaster	Yeah. 21:34	Shadowmaster	We need to advertise things more is my point. 21:34	Shadowmaster	2: I think we need to expand the staff. 21:34	Shadowmaster	Of course, not too much. 21:34	LuctoretEmergo	That page would certainly benefit from advertisement 21:34	Shadowmaster	Not like 5 admins. 21:34	Shadowmaster	Maybe 4 admins max will do, maybe 3 or 4 rollbacks. 21:35	Shadowmaster	If I can find enough people trustworthy enough. 21:35	LuctoretEmergo	I should work, certainly in the summer-months where the activity is kind of downed 21:35	LuctoretEmergo	It** 21:35	Shadowmaster	But the staff has kinda fallen apart as a result of CB's moving (not his fault, really) and the Mibbit channel's fall (I blame the move to Purplesurge, but that's just me). 21:36	Shadowmaster	So I think we need to expand. 21:36	Shadowmaster	I can't really name a time where 2 admins are on at the same time, usually. 21:36	J97Auditore	Who might you have in mind? 21:36	Shadowmaster	Varkanax is the only very active admin for the "day shift" EST, and TDG for the "night shift". 21:36	Shadowmaster	PepsiCola, for one. 21:36	Shadowmaster	I'll probably nominate him tonight. 21:37	Jmanliciousness	PepsiCola is definitely someone I'd like to see as an admin. 21:37	LuctoretEmergo	I would love to see Echo1 get a nomination for rollback 21:37	Shadowmaster	I'm thinking Echo 1 for rollback, perhaps, and maybe, let's see... 21:37	J97Auditore	I support PepsiCola for Admin and Echo for rollback 21:38	Shadowmaster	Who knows, maybe Roden for rollback? 21:38	Shadowmaster	He's been somewhat active. 21:38	LuctoretEmergo	That would work 21:38	J97Auditore	I don't see him editing much 21:38	Jmanliciousness	Roden would work as a rollback. 21:38	J97Auditore	But I don't check in as oten 21:38	J97Auditore	*often 21:38	Shadowmaster	Well, he just returned recently. 21:38	Jmanliciousness	Maybe M1 as a rollback 21:39	LuctoretEmergo	Roden's a thrustworty guy, who also has other staff-duties on other wikis I believe 21:39	Jmanliciousness	Nah 21:39	Jmanliciousness	He retired from TBW 21:39	LuctoretEmergo	He doesn't? 21:39	Shadowmaster	I thought of M1 too. 21:39	LuctoretEmergo	Oh, I see 21:39	Shadowmaster	As for the fourth admin, if we'll even have one, I'll need to do some serious thinking about it. 21:40	J97Auditore	I don'y really think we need 4 21:40	Shadowmaster	I wasn't too pressed after I moved to b'crat because 3 seemed to be enough. 21:40	Shadowmaster	But I think we do need to ensure the admins are a bit more active. 21:40	Shadowmaster	3 will be enough then. 21:40	J97Auditore	Right. 21:40	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:41	Shadowmaster	So before I cut this meeting to an end, let's make sure I have these straight. 21:41	Shadowmaster	I'll nominate Roden and Echo for rollback, Pepsi for admin, maybe M1 for rollback later? 21:41	J97Auditore	Yes. 21:41	Shadowmaster	Again, I'll have to check with both of them. 21:41	Shadowmaster	All three of them, I mean. 21:41	Shadowmaster	Four counting M1. 21:42	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:42	Shadowmaster	So, I think we've exhausted our topics here. 21:42	Shadowmaster	Anyone else have something to say? 21:42	J97Auditore	I don't. 21:42	Jmanliciousness	http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_BIONICLE_Wiki%3ADirector's_Program 21:43	Jmanliciousness	just posting that link since it's shown nowhere else on CBW 21:43	J97Auditore	I think we've exhausted all discussion topics. 21:43	Shadowmaster	I'll work on that. 21:43	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:44	Shadowmaster	By the hand of the Makuta, I officially call this Great Convocation (or just Convocation, or grand, I don't remember) to a close. 21:44		*** LuctoretEmergo quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 21:44	Shadowmaster	Before we go. 21:44	Shadowmaster	I'd like to say to anyone reading this - don't be offended if you weren't mentioned. 21:45	Shadowmaster	We just had some particular choices. Who knows, maybe you'll be seeing your name nominated. 21:45	Shadowmaster	And I'd like to thank SA, who just left, for attending in place of our absent admins. 21:45	Shadowmaster	So once more, I call this meeting to an official close.
