With the forum being a thing, I believe we should have moderators dedicated to it.
The HUGELOL mods are already busy enough with the main site (maybe not so much now with the lack if posts),
so why not have a team of forum mods?

I would apply to. There is not much to do on HUGELOL itself atm, so I could handle this, too.

Meh, I'll give it a shot as well. Helping people out, moving threads to the right board and keeping the trolls in off-topic.

I'd like to be a Moderator too... but i'd procrastinate a lot, so i think guys like Rosetta or Gandalf are better choice than me (Humbleness Lv. Up!)

But still, you're a bigger influence on the site, i guess i can say you guys make Hugelol's culture or something like that :x |

I see the admins/mods like the police... they have to execute the law, but they're humans (users in this case) too, i guess as long you don't harm the community in a major way they won't "dislike" you. Don't worry Gandalf-chan, i'm at your side. |

The problem is that any time I bring up the problems that the admins have caused, they seem to reflect on it as "We HAD to do it this way, even tho another way may have been beneficial for both parts", even though they shouldn't have done it their way. In my latest thread, they completely ignored it, me, and the rest of this community. They are currently banning us old members for no reason at all. Instead of listening to us, they ignore us, and have probably started growing a little hate for us as well, seeing as how they're banning the more known old members of this community. |

Ok, i don't have many arguments to defend them. As we have seen, the site's in a tense situation (Ads, Reposts, Lack of Content, Unhappiness), that may create a bad atmosphere between users and admins, as you know, they're also humans, they're most likely nervous about the actual situation, we just state our opinions and suggestions... but they HAVE to actually fix all the problems. I seriously don't know how the servers and the management of the site works, for as i know, they have a lot of limitations, budget and staff, so they can't do as they please, but i think they're trying to fix the situation. I know they're wrong and presumably they've come to hate some of us a bit as we can't really help... but i guess we can't do much to help, i just hope that the community survives this tense situation and we can have some relaxed lols again. I really like HL, i'm here since the beginning, my account got deleted on that server crash with the posts, so i don't know how much time it has been... i know that i don't comment much (probably because i'm an introvert and diffident about my English) so i'm not "famous", but as i saw the situation aggravating i couldn't remain silent (my shyness isn't cured... YET!), so i'm trying to help as i can, that is commenting, reporting reposts (even though it looks hopeless, damn... they should find a better way to Repost Search) and trying to make some OC... i've seen some people saying "Hugelol is hopeless" or "I give up trying to stop reposts"... But this is the time were we most need people's help. (damn... i'm looking like an admin) I don't even know why i'm defending them like this, maybe i'm tired (6:32 AM here and i haven't slept [damn you anime]), but this is what i think. I'm not very good with words, especially English, since i lack experience writing (i can read perfectly), and i think i've lost the meaning of this conversation... but i hope you understood my point Gandy. (I hope that they don't ban us  )

I understand your point, but the only problem I had with them was that instead of listening to the community, and their better ideas, they split the website in 2, thus killing fun and activity on our site. Since then they have only made it worse by banning our old, and active members, and they basically stopped listening to us (for the most part). They have now also started censoring us (http://hugelol.boards.net/thread/62/ridiculous), and they've also simply ignored the problem. The HUGELOL admins are shooting themselves in the foot, and if they keep this up, they'll either be the new 9gag (which they'd probably like) or they wont be anything. Personally, I'd like the site to survive, but if we can't keep the sites funny, then hugelol is dead to me. Since the split, the quality of our posts have lessened a lot. Even though we're in the middle of a OC spike, it can only last so long. If HUGELOL won't start listening to us, and our critism, they will only ruin the site in which we all know and love. |

The split was a dangerous bet that failed, even on cartoon, things like that doesn't go well... Censoring is specially wrong, the only reason that comes to mind would be the admins getting pressured or trying to maintain a "nice" facade. While i was reading and thinking how to answer, the first thing that came to my mind was "The HUGELOL admins are shooting themselves in the foot" but you've already wrote it ;-;... it's unpleasantly accurate. Hugelol turning to 9gag is a strange topic, since the beginning, HL was made by unhappy 9gaggers, even the site's layout is similar... but the main difference and the selling point of Hugelol on my opinion... is the community. We've obtained a "culture" and a "We" concept, we can see the best example as we try to mold the "newfags" to our culture... we even got Religions ^^ (HelixCageHarDalfism FTW) I guess even if Hugelol turns into a second 9gag, i will continue to visit it (and dislike all the shitty posts mwahahahaha), because i've grow to like this site and it's community. Those quotes seem appropriate for the moment...
Our conversation should be a whole new post :xAh... and thanks for discussing this with me, i'm getting some Writing EXP here |

Our conversation should be a whole new post :xAh... and thanks for discussing this with me, i'm getting some Writing EXP hereWell, after a year, hugelol started to find it's "funny". Most of us did indeed come from 9gag, but we also found a new element of fun. We jumped the edge, and started posting the more uncommon, and darker humor. Thats what made hugelol amazing. But now, after the split, all our fun has gone away. But I digress. Our community is still amazing (all thanks to members like Rosetta, thor123, Matrix, etc.), and yes, it's what makes the site even more amazing. However, with the constant banning of these members, the community is gradually becoming lessened. When t o p - k e k launches, I guess that most of us old members will go there. |
