support in code? docs? moderations? votes? money? sexual favors? chocolate?

Nyght
;) I don't want to clarify. I want it general and as broad as you feel it should be.
2006-05-05 12502, 2006
Nyght
again, if there's clarification it leads to a hierarchy that I don't think is perhaps best.
2006-05-05 12541, 2006

agreed - whilst programmers and developers are crucial, so are the foot soldiers
2006-05-05 12511, 2006

Just, a generalized highlight of those that aren't in the light enough, and should have a bit of light shone their way. Currently I have ruaok, luks, g0llum, donredman, yalaforge, shepard, and countless others that built the database, refine it and help make it a great place to visit and tweak.
2006-05-05 12557, 2006
Nyght
but, I wanted to make a quick list of those people in this "summary" of the chat. Sorta highlight, and go on to the subject at hand. (and I don't want to leave anyone in specific out due to lack of knowledge on my part!)

nyght - don't forget nikki
2006-05-05 12520, 2006
Nyght
I was thinking strongly of nikki, especially for her chocolate bribes and multi lingual abilities, and aesmodai? seems to work hand in hand with her
2006-05-05 12535, 2006
Nyght
not positive on the spelling of that irc name's spelling.

Nyght: dave evans, who has written tons of code and is playing a major role on keeping our servers running needs to be added.
2006-05-05 12529, 2006

I don't currently know who sexual favors from from, save for my whippings. :D
2006-05-05 12534, 2006

reference the top moderators list, too, please.
2006-05-05 12544, 2006

thank you, yes, exactly, that type of thing I don't know about!
2006-05-05 12545, 2006

Nyght: that would be my GF. :-)

here is anohter thought I've had, but lacked the time for it: a thank you blog
2006-05-05 12518, 2006
ruaok
there are countless people that the MB community doesn't know about.
2006-05-05 12522, 2006

our board of directors.
2006-05-05 12525, 2006

2006-05-05 12528, 2006

our lawyers.
2006-05-05 12533, 2006
Nyght
That's sorta very minorly what this is.. and .. well, I can send it to you in email if you want a brief glimpse into it.
2006-05-05 12536, 2006

or, whatnot
2006-05-05 12540, 2006

2006-05-05 12527, 2006

Nyght: we have cool lawyers on our side.
2006-05-05 12529, 2006

lawyers - bah
2006-05-05 12535, 2006
ruaok
I used to think that too.
2006-05-05 12538, 2006
Joan_W
no such thing as a cool lawyer
2006-05-05 12502, 2006
Joan_W
and if there is, they are an endangered species
2006-05-05 12516, 2006
ruaok
But Dan Appleman, Fred von Lohmann, Randy Heinig are cool people who have put in serious hours for MB.
2006-05-05 12522, 2006
Nyght
First of all, I would like to take the time to say thanks to ruaok, luks, g0llum, donredman, yalaforge, dave evans, shepard, teragon, nikki, the board of directors and those on the top moderators list (both voters and editors) as well as countless others that built the database, refine it and help make it a great place to visit and tweak.
That page should go away and be replaced by the thank you blog.
2006-05-05 12516, 2006
ruaok
Nyght: yes!
2006-05-05 12550, 2006
Nyght
even as a response?
2006-05-05 12502, 2006
Nyght
I'm not blog flagged.. or whatever that is.
2006-05-05 12512, 2006

huh?
2006-05-05 12519, 2006
ruaok
you want posting privs on the blog?
2006-05-05 12524, 2006
ruaok
I'll give you those.
2006-05-05 12535, 2006
Nyght
If you want to give me those.

I need to add wolfsong, might as well add you at the same time.

pmsg me a login/passwd and I'll do it
2006-05-05 12507, 2006
Nyght
:) okay, but as I said before, I can and will say shut the f--- up, if I get too heated.
2006-05-05 12527, 2006
Joan_W
you are not nearly heated enough for that yet
2006-05-05 12502, 2006
Nyght
no, and I try to walk into irc and get a more focal point before doing that.. but, I'm highly protective of people I feel are being snapped out at.
2006-05-05 12507, 2006
Nyght
that's when my hackles raise
2006-05-05 12552, 2006

no - but I work voluntarily for our local council
2006-05-05 12505, 2006

when Jim and I got married in 2001 he insisted I gave us work, but it was driving me crazy sitting at home so now I sit on the Board of Directors for our local authority
2006-05-05 12533, 2006
Joan_W
gave up
2006-05-05 12534, 2006
Nyght
well that's good for getting you out of the house and active. :)
2006-05-05 12545, 2006
Nyght
I know it drives me crazy to work at the house and live here too.
2006-05-05 12534, 2006
Joan_W
I thought it would be just one meeting a month - it has turned into about 10 - but as you say it keeps your mind active. I think that's why I came on here too. At times it seems like being at work.

is a solo project a "group" or a "person"? does "person" imply a real name of the performer?
2006-05-05 12545, 2006
tro
like, obviously "shania twain" is a person, but what about "pink"?
2006-05-05 12547, 2006
Nyght
that's still "up in arms" in a lot of ways
2006-05-05 12512, 2006
tro
oh good. person it is then :p
2006-05-05 12521, 2006
Nyght
I feel they still fall under "person" others feel they fall under "group". Often times I feel it's best to leave them uncatagorized, others disagree
2006-05-05 12524, 2006
mudcrow
person
2006-05-05 12552, 2006
mudcrow
depends
2006-05-05 12554, 2006
tro
just sounds silly when you know that there's just one guy who plays/records/performs. like, there's NO ONE else involved
2006-05-05 12517, 2006
Nyght
exactly mudcrow, it's a very debatable circumstance and very dependant on the fans, and the presentation.
2006-05-05 12531, 2006
Nyght
usually it's best to put Pink is a performance name for "person"
2006-05-05 12544, 2006
mudcrow
Duretti Column is one person, but could be described as a group as he uses guest muscians, same for current 93
2006-05-05 12554, 2006
Nyght
it's bad, because person has a birthdate, and the person behind "pink" was born a lot earlier than their group Pink

Nick Cave solo shows are billed as solo shows, yet he always has other musicians playing with him (usually The Dirty Three)

nikki, they suggest only remaining in bed for fifteen minutes, or a half an hour. So your body knows you mean to sleep when you lay down. (just a future suggestion for you from an insomniac. :D )
