Custom BIONICLE Wiki:Board Meeting/Archive B/Session 3

Log of BMS3B 21:49	Fezmaster	I officially call this meeting of all current members of the Board of Trustees into action. 21:49		+++ ChanServ has given owner to Shadowmaster 21:49		+++ Shadowmaster has taken owner from Fezmaster 21:49		+++ Shadowmaster has taken owner from Shadowmaster 21:49	Fezmaster	Everything from this point onwards will be recorded for record purposes. 21:49	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:49	Fezmaster	Now, let us begin with ongoing an current affairs. 21:50	Fezmaster	Does anyone have anything to bring forward before I begin? 21:50	Shadowmaster	Yes. 21:50	Shadowmaster	I do. 21:50	J97Auditore	Let's hear then. 21:50	Shadowmaster	There's a matter I need to address. 21:50	Shadowmaster	Look at Category:Outdated Template Pages. 21:50	Shadowmaster	Ugh. 21:50	Shadowmaster	Look at Category: Outdated Template Pages. 21:50	ThatDevilGuy	(Click on the to remove it) 21:51	ThatDevilGuy	We have two options: 21:51	Shadowmaster	http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Outdated_Template_Articles 21:51	ThatDevilGuy	Mass edit and get fatigue and fill the RC. 21:52	ThatDevilGuy	Or we log in as SlicerBot, get fatigued, but hide the edits. 21:52	Shadowmaster	I think that's the best thing to do. 21:52	J97Auditore	Yeah. 21:52	ThatDevilGuy	Option 2? 21:52	Shadowmaster	Since otherwise, it would just fill up the RC 40 times over. 21:53	Fezmaster	It would take too long to progress through all those articles ourselves. 21:53	Fezmaster	The list is always getting bigger. 21:53	Fezmaster	What's our second option, SM? 21:53	ThatDevilGuy	We can all use SlicerBot at the same time. 21:53	Shadowmaster	Very well. 21:53	ThatDevilGuy	I think. 21:53	Shadowmaster	Unfortunately, I don't think I can use AWB. 21:53	Fezmaster	Is Varkanax and Jmanliciousness present? 21:53	Shadowmaster	I am getting a new laptop that might be able to, though. 21:54	J97Auditore	Me neither. 21:54	Shadowmaster	Yes, both are present. 21:54	ThatDevilGuy	We can't. Manually is the only way in this case. 21:54	Varkanax	Can't use AWB 21:54	ThatDevilGuy	Hence the logging in. 21:54	Jmanliciousness	I am. 21:54	Shadowmaster	We'll have to risk filling up the RC, then. 21:54	ThatDevilGuy	Wait. 21:54	Fezmaster	Do we want to risk clogging it? 21:55	ThatDevilGuy	If we use SlicerBot's account instead of our own, the only change would be a non-clogged up RC. 21:55	Shadowmaster	We could lock the database, but that would be absolutely pointless. 21:55	ThatDevilGuy	Unless someone here is epically good with AWB. 21:55	Shadowmaster	Hm.. 21:55	Shadowmaster	I might be able to get my own Bot soon. 21:56	ThatDevilGuy	There is no need for more than one Bot on CBW. 21:56	J97Auditore	Guys I'm going to be partially AFK during this because I'm working on something else right now. 21:56	Shadowmaster	True, but there isn't anything saying there can't be more than one. 21:57	ThatDevilGuy	But it's pointless.... and SlicerBot is in ownership of /all/ the admins, not just me. 21:57	Fezmaster	Alright, J97. 21:57	ThatDevilGuy	Makes life easier. 21:57	ThatDevilGuy	Would anyone here like the password for SlicerBot? 21:57	Shadowmaster	Via PM only. 21:57	Shadowmaster	And I'll be using ShadowBot mainly. 21:58	Shadowmaster	For icon purposes. 21:58	Fezmaster	We'll hand the password out to all BoT members after this meeting is complete. 21:58	Fezmaster	Right, so what is the final course of action we wish to take on this matter before we move on? 21:58	Shadowmaster	To all admins. 21:58	ThatDevilGuy	Uh, sorry, but isn't it an admin Bot? Because it has admin powers...? 21:58	Shadowmaster	Not all BoT members, all admins. 21:59	Jmanliciousness	I agree. 21:59	Fezmaster	Very well.... 21:59	Shadowmaster	My word on the matter is to use a Bot for it. 21:59	Fezmaster	All in favour of this course of action where the admins use SlicerBot to clear out the outdated template category say "Aye".... 21:59	Shadowmaster	Aye. 21:59	Jmanliciousness	"Aye".... 21:59	Fezmaster	Aye. 21:59	Varkanax	Aye 21:59	J97Auditore	Aye 22:00	Fezmaster	TDG? 22:00	ThatDevilGuy	Aye. 22:00	Shadowmaster	Okay. 22:00	Fezmaster	Okay 22:00	Shadowmaster	On a vote of 6 - 0, the motion is passed. 22:00	Fezmaster	We have an official 100% approval. This course of action will be carried out in accordance with the agreement between the members of this board. 22:01	Fezmaster	Now, moving on to other matters... 22:01	Jmanliciousness	What should we put on the YouTube channel? 22:01	Fezmaster	Now, moving on to other matters... 22:01	Jmanliciousness	What should we put on the YouTube channel? 22:01	Fezmaster	TDG, I believe you have plans on re-writing the Wiki Policy. Would you like to elaborate on what you would like to re-write. 22:01	ThatDevilGuy	Yes. 22:02	ThatDevilGuy	Sm said he has done the blocking policy? 22:02	Shadowmaster	Yes. 22:02	ThatDevilGuy	I have done the image policy. 22:02	Fezmaster	Whoops, sorry Jman. We'll get to you after we discuss this topic. 22:02	ThatDevilGuy	Deleting needs to be redone. 22:02	ThatDevilGuy	I will probably do that today... 22:02	Fezmaster	Okay. 22:02	ThatDevilGuy	That doesn't leave much else to changed... 22:03	ThatDevilGuy	Unless you guys want the equality policy to be revised. 22:03	ThatDevilGuy	? 22:03	Shadowmaster	Nah. It's fine as is. 22:03	Fezmaster	Hmmm. 22:03	Fezmaster	I agree. 22:03	Shadowmaster	I can change it if need be. 22:03	Fezmaster	We'd have to change the equality policy after consulting the wiki. 22:03	ThatDevilGuy	I think it needs to be rewritten completely. Like burnt and rewritten to make sense. 22:03	ThatDevilGuy	OKay. 22:03	ThatDevilGuy	Not really. 22:04	Fezmaster	What needs changing in the changed? 22:04	ThatDevilGuy	If we alter the way the message is said, we don't. 22:04	ThatDevilGuy	That is all. 22:04	Fezmaster	Ah right... 22:04	Fezmaster	Okay. 22:04	ThatDevilGuy	Moving on to Jman's matter. 22:04	Fezmaster	Okay.... 22:04	Shadowmaster	BRB 22:04	Fezmaster	Jman you may speak.... 22:04	Fezmaster	Jmaliciousness! Your issue has been brought forward! 22:04	ThatDevilGuy	Jmanliciousness. 22:04	Jmanliciousness	Hmmm 22:04	Fezmaster	*Jmanliciousness* 22:05	Fezmaster 22:05	Jmanliciousness	I'm just wondering what is and isn't allowed on the YouTube channel 22:05	Shadowmaster	Well, that depends. 22:05	Shadowmaster	What do you have in mind? 22:05	Jmanliciousness	Since, it's obvious due to the other admins delays that the Podcast isn't happening anytime soon. 22:05	Jmanliciousness	I was thinking that we could have some sort of weekly series. 22:06	Jmanliciousness	Around 30 seconds to a minute long. 22:06	ThatDevilGuy	I have an idea. 22:06	Shadowmaster	I don't see how that wouldn't be allowed. Could you go into further detail? 22:06	ThatDevilGuy	Someone makes all the admins/whoever self-MOCs and makes a stop-motion. BUt that could be a little difficult... 22:07	Jmanliciousness	What TDG said, that's what I was thinking. 22:07	Fezmaster	Hmmmm. 22:07	Fezmaster	I dunno.... 22:07	Fezmaster	That could put a bit of pressure on the person who's doing the stop-motion 22:07	Jmanliciousness	Well 22:08	Jmanliciousness	It would be two people kinda, one writer and one the producer. 22:08	Fezmaster	We could ask certain members of CBW with YouTube accounts if they wanted to upload their material onto the channel. 22:08	ThatDevilGuy	I don't think that's a good idea... 22:08	Jmanliciousness	Like Community videos? 22:08	Jmanliciousness	Eh.. 22:09	ThatDevilGuy	The channel could just be a bunch of videos from TH, Ihu, etc. 22:09	ThatDevilGuy	Nothing really CBW-ly. 22:09	Shadowmaster	I think that's what we originally had in mind. 22:09	Jmanliciousness	No-ones really been posting anything, though. 22:10	Jmanliciousness	Which is why my new idea was set in mind. 22:10	Fezmaster	Maybe we should get organised and do the podcast.... 22:10	Fezmaster 22:10	Fezmaster	And also utilize Jman's idea to add more variety to the channel. 22:10	Fezmaster	Varkanax? J97Auditore? 22:10	J97Auditore	Yes? 22:10	Fezmaster	Any say on the matter? 22:11	ThatDevilGuy	I say we get off our buts and do something with the podcast. 22:11	J97Auditore	Yes 22:11	Jmanliciousness	Yeah 22:11	J97Auditore	But I still do not have a mic. 22:11	Jmanliciousness	I have everything set up. 22:11	Shadowmaster	I can't do anything on the matter. 22:11	Jmanliciousness	But, no one's been wanting to get up and actually do it. 22:11	ThatDevilGuy	If I do recall, CB had an issue involving privacy? 22:12	Jmanliciousness	Yeah, but we asked him to make a public account. 22:12	Jmanliciousness	On Skype. 22:12	Varkanax	Working on that 22:12	Jmanliciousness	He just hasn't done it yet. 22:12	Varkanax	I don't have a private account 22:12	Varkanax	Will do soon 22:12	ThatDevilGuy	But that's understandable. 22:12	ThatDevilGuy	We can just use voices, by the way. 22:12	Jmanliciousness	Podcast is /only/ voices... 22:12	ThatDevilGuy	Derp. :S 22:13	Shadowmaster	Hm... 22:13	Shadowmaster	Speaking of CBW. 22:13	Shadowmaster	(XD) 22:13	Shadowmaster	I think we need some more promotional things. 22:13	ThatDevilGuy	that goes without saying. 22:13	Fezmaster	Agreed. 22:14	Jmanliciousness	That's a given, actually. 22:14	Fezmaster	I was actually about to bring that up. 22:14	J97Auditore	Don't look at me, I made the best advertisement THERE IS. 22:14	Shadowmaster	For example... 22:14	J97Auditore 22:14	Shadowmaster	Oh, right. 22:14	Shadowmaster	I forgot to make my advertisement. 22:14	Shadowmaster	I've been lacking in that matter. 22:14	Fezmaster	Quite a few people say they are planning to make ads, but I have not noticed any progress as of late. 22:14	Shadowmaster	But I think there should be some CBW shorts. 22:15	Fezmaster	SM, if completed, BIONICLE: Collision could be used as an advertisement. 22:15	J97Auditore	I think my advertisement actually succeeded in getting some YTers to join CBW. 22:15	Jmanliciousness	Yeah. 22:15	Shadowmaster	That's true, but without Phyrrus, Collision's progress has been greatly slowed. 22:15	ThatDevilGuy	Getting users from MOCpages may also help. 22:15	Fezmaster	Ihu is going to get involved in the project once all the issues of his move and housing are resolved. 22:15	J97Auditore	Indeed. 22:15	Fezmaster	Oh yeah.... 22:15	Fezmaster	How has general advertising on other wikis been going? 22:16	Varkanax	I'm on BZP now... 22:16	Varkanax	Posting the XMS 22:16	J97Auditore	MOCpages and deviantArt especially. 22:16	J97Auditore	I can handle MOCpages well, since I am fairly popular there. 22:17	Shadowmaster	I am going to make an ad for Collision too, and that will also advertise CBW. 22:19	Shadowmaster	So. 22:19	Jmanliciousness	Hmm 22:19	Fezmaster	Right, any other issues on the subject on promotion we should all know? 22:19	Fezmaster	Or shall we move on? 22:19	ThatDevilGuy	Move on. 22:19	J97Auditore	Yes 22:19	Jmanliciousness	So, are we doing the stop motion thing? or not? 22:19	Varkanax	Yeah 22:19	Fezmaster	Oh, right..... 22:20	Fezmaster	All in favour of the stop-motion weekly update say "aye". 22:20	Jmanliciousness	Aye. 22:20	Fezmaster	On the CBW YT channel. 22:20	ThatDevilGuy	Aye. 22:20	Fezmaster	Aye. 22:20	ThatDevilGuy	Shadowmaster. J97Auditore. 22:20	ThatDevilGuy	Varkanax. 22:20	J97Auditore	Aye 22:20	Varkanax	Yeah? 22:20	Varkanax	Aye 22:20	Shadowmaster	Aye. 22:21	ThatDevilGuy	Motion passed. 22:21	Jmanliciousness	Now... 22:21	Jmanliciousness	Who's to produce? And who's to write? 22:21	Jmanliciousness	Or who's to do both, if they're really committed. 22:21	Varkanax	Too busy. 22:21	Varkanax	:S 22:22	Varkanax	Sorry... 22:22	Fezmaster	Aye. 22:22	Fezmaster	I can do the writing... 22:22	Shadowmaster	Hm... 22:22	J97Auditore	Me or Jman can produce. 22:22	ThatDevilGuy	I think Jman should do the stop-motion. 22:22	Fezmaster	Since these scripts are only short, I can write them quickly and easily. 22:22	Shadowmaster	I do plan on making some STARS MOCs of the CBW users... 22:22	J97Auditore	Agreed with TDG. 22:22	Shadowmaster	But I suck at stop-motion. 22:22	Jmanliciousness	@CB: Yep. 22:22	ThatDevilGuy	He seems to be the most dedicated. 22:22	Jmanliciousness	Oh thanks guys. 22:22	J97Auditore	(not because I don't want to do work. ) 22:22	Jmanliciousness 22:23	Jmanliciousness	Hmm 22:23	ThatDevilGuy	And the best, but I don't want to offend anyone. D: 22:23	Jmanliciousness	Now, the thing with me is...MOCs. 22:23	J97Auditore	How so? 22:24	Jmanliciousness	I may not have the parts to make the self MOCs of the admins. (I'm counting minis as well) 22:24	ThatDevilGuy	Use other MOCs? 22:24	J97Auditore	If not I can do it.. 22:24	J97Auditore	I have enough pieces for everyone. 22:24	J97Auditore	Let's see. 22:25	J97Auditore	Jman, TDG, CB, SM, Varkanax, myself, SA, B1202, and Lio. 22:25	J97Auditore	Right? 22:25	Jmanliciousness	Yeah. 22:25	Jmanliciousness	That's 'bout it. 22:25	Jmanliciousness	I mean, usually I'd just use my own MOCs. 22:25	Jmanliciousness	But that'd kinda be...eh. 22:25	J97Auditore	Yeah. 22:26	Jmanliciousness	Since most users would be like "Why only Jman's MOCs?" 22:26	Jmanliciousness	So, I think J97 should produce. O: 22:26	ThatDevilGuy	So, J97 is doing the stop-motion? 22:26	Fezmaster	J97 are you happy to accept this challenge? 22:26	J97Auditore	Sure. 22:26	Varkanax	GTG 22:26		*** Varkanax left #BoTMeeting 22:26	Fezmaster	Maybe you and Jman can swap every now and then. 22:27	J97Auditore	Maybe. 22:27	Jmanliciousness	Maybe I can just do random shorts, while J97 does a primary series. 22:27	J97Auditore	How about we release them every sunday? 22:27	Jmanliciousness	Hmm 22:27	J97Auditore	So I can have all weekend to work. 22:27	Jmanliciousness	Yeah, that's sounds good. 22:27	Fezmaster	Okay then. 22:27	Jmanliciousness	Maybe I can just do random shorts, while J97 does a primary series. 22:27	Fezmaster	That sounds good. 22:27	J97Auditore	Sounds right. 22:28	Fezmaster	Your BIONICLE shorts can go on the channel. 22:28	Jmanliciousness	Alright. 22:28	J97Auditore	I guess we begin next week? 22:28	Jmanliciousness	Hmm 22:28	Jmanliciousness	Yeah. 22:28	J97Auditore	Or whatever sunday is closest to when I finish the MOCs 22:28	Fezmaster	Alright, then this movement is offically approved. 22:28	Fezmaster	*officially* 22:28	Shadowmaster	Hm.. 22:28	J97Auditore	Would there be quest stars every now and then? 22:28	J97Auditore	*quest 22:28	Jmanliciousness	So, the primary series is written by CB, and produced by J97. 22:29	J97Auditore	*guest 22:29	Jmanliciousness	*guest 22:29	Fezmaster	Yes. 22:29	Fezmaster	You are correct. 22:29	Jmanliciousness	Alright 22:29	J97Auditore	Was that to me or Jman? 22:29	Jmanliciousness	And I'll just do my usual routine on the shorts. 22:29	Fezmaster	Jman. 22:29	Fezmaster	Now, is there anything else we wish to discuss? 22:30	Fezmaster	Or do we want to wrap this meeting up? 22:30	Jmanliciousness	Does the series get a page on CBW as a normal page? Or a Project page? 22:30	Shadowmaster	I say normal page. 22:30	Fezmaster	Normal page I'd say...... 22:30	ThatDevilGuy	Yeah 22:30	Jmanliciousness	Agreed. 22:30	J97Auditore	Yes 22:30	Fezmaster	Anything else to talk about? 22:30	Jmanliciousness	Nope. 22:30	J97Auditore	I guess we would upload them to YT on the CBW account? 22:30	Fezmaster	Does anyone have anything else to say? 22:31	Jmanliciousness	@J97: Yes. 22:31	ThatDevilGuy	yes. 22:31	Jmanliciousness	Hmm, when do you guys assume the Podcast will be released? 22:31	ThatDevilGuy	Admin colours = blue = the admin wikicon colour 22:31	Shadowmaster	I say the colors remain as they are. 22:32	J97Auditore	Admin colors? 22:32	ThatDevilGuy	Fine, moving on. 22:32	Fezmaster	The podcast will be released when all members have their communication problems resolved.... 22:32	J97Auditore	Indeed 22:32	J97Auditore	Actually. 22:32	J97Auditore	I wonder if my iPod has a mic. 22:32	ThatDevilGuy	It does. 22:32	ThatDevilGuy	Download the Skype app. 22:32	J97Auditore	Okay, then that's solved. 22:32	Jmanliciousness	Yeah. 22:32	Jmanliciousness	So, we can probably do it soon. 22:33	J97Auditore	Correct. 22:33	Jmanliciousness	Since, TDG has a mic and Skype, correct? 22:33	Jmanliciousness	All we need now is for SM, SA, Lio, B1202, and CB to get accounts and such. 22:33	ThatDevilGuy	I have my iPod. 22:34	J97Auditore	I don't think B1202 could do it 22:34	Jmanliciousness	Oh, right. 22:34	J97Auditore	Since he can't even come on Mibbit. 22:34	Jmanliciousness	B1202 already stated he couldn't/ 22:34	ThatDevilGuy	*Lio is now PepsiCola99 22:34	J97Auditore	Easier jsut to call him Lio. 22:34	Jmanliciousness	No u. 22:34	Fezmaster	I have no matters left to discuss. Other than the fact that we have had a small increase in new users, which is pleasing. But there is not much we can talk about in that field, other than we have gained more users. 22:34	Shadowmaster	I can't do it. 22:35	J97Auditore	So... meeting adjourned? 22:35	Jmanliciousness	I guess so. 22:35	Fezmaster	Right then. 22:36	Fezmaster	I officially call this meeting to a close.
