Custom BIONICLE Wiki:Board Meeting/Archive B/Session 6

Log of BMS6B 21:17	Fezmaster	I officially call this sixth meeting of the Board of Trustees to order. 21:18	Fezmaster	All members are present, so we can reach full consensus on this matter. Anyone have anything to bring to the floor first? 21:18	J97Auditore	What is today's topic of inquiry? 21:18	Wide_brimmed_Rotaxian_hat	Not sure. 21:19		*** Wide_brimmed_Rotaxian_hat is now known as Varkanax 21:19	Shadowmaster	Well. 21:19	Shadowmaster	TDG, you said you wanted to discuss something? 21:20	Todunga	       Yes. 21:20	Todunga	       I recall now. 21:21	Todunga	       I think we need more rollbacks, for one. (Most of the other points I wanted passed in the fifth meeting). 21:21	Todunga	       Two is fine, but I think having more would not hurt. 21:21	J97Auditore	At the moment we have.... 21:21	Todunga	       We could use as a merit badge. 21:21	J97Auditore	Echo and Baterra? 21:21	Shadowmaster	I agree on a third one. 21:22	Shadowmaster	I discussed Roden last meeting. 21:22	Todunga	       Like, "Be a good editor and get rollback if you're lukcy" or something. 21:22	Varkanax	I think Rodan should be promoted. 21:22	Varkanax	And Echo. 21:22	Todunga	       Echo already is rollback. 21:22	Shadowmaster	Echo's been promoted already. 21:22	Todunga	       Roden yes. 21:22	Todunga	       All in favour Roden's promotion, skipping the voting? 21:22	Fezmaster	Echo should be given time to fill in his new role. 21:23	Fezmaster	We can't promote less than a month after allowing him to become a rollback. 21:23	J97Auditore	Yeah 21:23	Fezmaster	That's too quick, and we have enough staff administrators for now. 21:23	Shadowmaster	... 21:23	Jmanliciousness	I concur with CB. 21:23	Fezmaster	But more rollbacks would be an idea. 21:23	Shadowmaster	CB, do you think we're talking about promoting Echo to an admin? 21:23	Shadowmaster	Because that's not the case. 21:24	Shadowmaster	XP 21:24	Fezmaster	Ah whoops. 21:24	Shadowmaster	I just think Varkanax didn't realize Echo was promoted to rollback yet. 21:24	J97Auditore	We're talking about promoting Roden to rollback. 21:24	Varkanax	Whoops... 21:24	Fezmaster	But I'd just like to bring that point up when it comes to discussing promoting new rollbacks. 21:24	Varkanax	Echo is a rollback already. 21:24	Jmanliciousness	Oh CB. *sitcom laugh track* 21:25	Todunga	       All in favour Roden's promotion, skipping the voting? 21:25	Fezmaster	Aye. 21:25	Jmanliciousness	Aye. 21:25	J97Auditore	Aye. 21:25	Varkanax	Aye 21:25	Shadowmaster	I'm in favor with his promotion, not skipping the voting. 21:25	Shadowmaster	But Aye, I guess. 21:25	Todunga	       Motion passed. 21:25	Todunga	       Anyone have any other issues? 21:25	Varkanax	Ninja'd 21:25	J97Auditore	Hm. 21:26	Shadowmaster	You all knew you agreed on skipping the voting, right, though? Just checking. 21:26	Varkanax	http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Varkanax39/The_XMS_Guide 21:26	Varkanax	This. 21:26	J97Auditore	I know. 21:26	Varkanax	Same. 21:26	Jmanliciousness	Yes, I know what I voted for. 21:26		Varkanax is self-promoting again. 21:26	Fezmaster	Anyway.... 21:26	Todunga	       Huh? That's in the BoT meeting? 21:26	Fezmaster	Does anyone else have anything to bring to the Board's attention? 21:26	Jmanliciousness	Self Promoting? CHECK OUT MISGUIDED ON JULY THIRD EVERYBODY 21:26	Jmanliciousness	Anyway 21:27	Jmanliciousness	I think we need to promote the YouTube channel more 21:27	Varkanax	Same, 21:27	Fezmaster	Jman, do you have anything to bring up from our YouTube channel? 21:27	J97Auditore	Someone needs to make a blog about it. 21:27	Fezmaster	NVM. 21:27	Varkanax	also, can we agree to all attend the podcast on July 30th? 21:27	Varkanax	*June 21:27	Shadowmaster	I have something to say. 21:27	J97Auditore	Someone being Jman 21:27	Varkanax	June 30th. 21:27	Todunga	       Maybe have an updated videos section on the main page or portal? 21:27	Jmanliciousness	I did. 21:27	Shadowmaster	When will aforementioned podcast be? 21:27	Todunga	       I can attend. 21:27	J97Auditore	CB won't be able to make it. 21:27	Fezmaster	Indeed. 21:27	Jmanliciousness	Literally nobody paid attention to it. 21:27	Varkanax	I know you can, but it looks like CB can;t. 21:27	Varkanax	*can't. 21:27	Fezmaster	It is impossible for me to make the podcast. 21:27	Varkanax	Okay. 21:28	J97Auditore	I can get there. 21:28	Varkanax	Let me know when internet guy fixes your modem. 21:28	Fezmaster	TDG or SM can take my spot as a host. 21:28	Jmanliciousness	http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Jman98/Submit_Your_Videos_to_Custom_BIONICLE! 21:28	Shadowmaster	When is it EST? 21:28	Fezmaster	Will do. 21:28	Jmanliciousness	Blog Post I was talking about earlier 21:28	Varkanax	8:00 EST. 21:28	Shadowmaster	Hm... 21:28	Shadowmaster	I probably won't be able to make it. 21:29	J97Auditore	Unfortunate. 21:29	Varkanax	Well, as long as we have at least four admins there, it works. 21:29	Shadowmaster	What time is 8:00 EST in PDT time? 21:29	Varkanax	Someone should PM Ids. 21:30		*** Todunga quit (NickServ (GHOST command used by ThatDevilGuy)) 21:30	Jmanliciousness	About what? 21:31	Jmanliciousness	I usually talk to him a lot. 21:31	Jmanliciousness	Oh wait nevermind 21:31	Jmanliciousness	I see. 21:31	Fezmaster	Hmmm. 21:31	Jmanliciousness	I'll ask him about it. 21:31	Fezmaster	Okay good. 21:31	Fezmaster	Are there any other matters we wish to discuss? 21:31	J97Auditore	I can't think of anything 21:32	Jmanliciousness	We need to emphasize that you can submit videos. 21:32	Jmanliciousness	Maybe it's because of people seem to like using copyrighted music, though. X_X 21:32	Shadowmaster	Wait. 21:32	Shadowmaster	Don't close the meeting yet. 21:32	Shadowmaster	I still have more to bring forth. 21:32	Varkanax	I"m thinking we really need to promote the site more. 21:33	Varkanax	I've been trying to advertise the XMS on fanfiction.net, but it's been basically ignored. 21:33	J97Auditore	I think we need to promote WMF more on CBW. 21:33	Varkanax	BZP's been slightly more successful, 21:33	Shadowmaster	I agree. 21:33	J97Auditore	Most users don't take part in WMF matters at all. 21:33	Varkanax	Indeed. 21:33	Shadowmaster	Of course. 21:33	Varkanax	I have a WMF account. 21:33	Jmanliciousness	That's a given. 21:33	Shadowmaster	I think we agreed on this and we never actually did anything. 21:33	Jmanliciousness	I'll work on making a WMF video on the channel. 21:33	Shadowmaster	I believe we need to promote Mibbit, WMF, and CBW itself more. 21:34	Fezmaster	Indeed. 21:34	Shadowmaster	We should make a blog post on it after. 21:34	Varkanax	Help on fanfiction.net would be appreciated. 21:34	Fezmaster	Of course. 21:34	Shadowmaster	Remember the main page update crew? 21:34	Shadowmaster	The one we agreed to support? 21:34	Fezmaster	Yes. 21:34	J97Auditore	Yes. 21:34	Shadowmaster	We need to pick who to nominate for it. 21:35	Shadowmaster	I'd say we need to pick about 8 people or so. 21:35	Shadowmaster	And 6 should win. 21:35	J97Auditore	Hm 21:35	Shadowmaster	1 for each major section and an extra. 21:35	J97Auditore	Roden for one 21:36	Fezmaster	PepsiCola. 21:36	Jmanliciousness	Maybe Matoro1? 21:36	Varkanax	Not me. 21:36	Varkanax	I'm pretty bad at updating the Main Page. 21:36	Jmanliciousness	PepsiCola's an admin, he has to do that now. 21:36	Varkanax	Though I suppose I could volunteer, if people want me to. 21:36	J97Auditore	I'd say maybe three staff and three regular users could 21:37	Shadowmaster	Roden, Matoro1... 21:37	Fezmaster	I think it should be a rule that all admins should still have to help with the MP from time to time. 21:37	Varkanax	Indeed. 21:37	J97Auditore	Right. 21:39	Varkanax	I GTG 21:39	Varkanax	It's late, and I have a bunch of work to do. 21:39	J97Auditore	See ya 21:39	Todunga	       Byes 21:40	Fezmaster 21:40	Fezmaster	Cheerio! 21:40	Shadowmaster	Who else should we appoint? 21:40	Shadowmaster	Or nominate. 21:40	Fezmaster	Let's see.... 21:40		*** Varkanax quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 21:40	Fezmaster	We've got PepsiCola, Roden.... 21:41	Shadowmaster	Well. 21:41	Shadowmaster	I'd think the admins should be left out of the crew. 21:41	Todunga	       Pepsi is admin. 21:41	Fezmaster	Okay. 21:41	Fezmaster	Maybe M1? 21:41	Todunga	       Appoint to what? The Podcast? 21:41	Shadowmaster	They already have the ability and pretty much the requirement to update it. 21:41	Shadowmaster	No, the main page crew. 21:42	Todunga	       Ah. 21:42	J97Auditore	Yes 21:42	Shadowmaster	Sure, M1 sounds good. 21:42	Shadowmaster	Echo? 21:43	J97Auditore	Yes. 21:43	J97Auditore	Lessee. 21:43	J97Auditore	M1, Echo, Roden 21:43	Shadowmaster	Hm... 21:43	Shadowmaster	I think we can have 4. 21:43	Jmanliciousness	Hmm 21:43	J97Auditore	Who do you have in mind? 21:44	Fezmaster	We need one more. 21:44	Shadowmaster	Hm... 21:44	Jmanliciousness	SubAqua maybe?

Since they may not even want to do it. 21:48	Fezmaster	Alright. 21:49	Shadowmaster	How about we message them first asking if they want to, then either choose others if they decline or appoint them if they accept? 21:49	Fezmaster	Yes. 21:49	Shadowmaster	All agreed? 21:49	Todunga	Aye 21:49	Jmanliciousness	Yep 21:50	J97Auditore	Indeed 21:50	Shadowmaster	Aye. 21:50	Shadowmaster	Alright. 21:50	Shadowmaster	On a vote of 5-0, this motion is officially passed. 21:51	J97Auditore	Right 21:51	J97Auditore	Any other topics? 21:51	Shadowmaster	Matoro1, Roden, SubAqua, and Echo 1 will be messaged asking if they wish to join the crew. 21:51	Jmanliciousness	No other topics from me.
