I cannot log into ST.com :blink:

I think this was a long time coming really.

I kept getting this vibe that the mods needed to be more streamlined, and it sounds like it may have helped a bit but not entirely.

Sadly galaxy was the most reasonable admin there. This still seems a little extreme to me though. If it is really gone I will certainly miss it.

Lots of very strong personalities in that group of people.

It seemed inevitable that at some point there would be some sort of thing like this happening.

Yes, I liked Galaxy, and I know he did loads.

This is why I thought there should be a more formal chain of command there.

If he handled all the "tech" things, then that's what his title should have been.

The other mods should have been over other boards and there should have been ONE person to make all final decisions when they couldn't agree on things.

Exactly i think there has been an abuse of power on some mods over there

Crap... If I had know that was going to happen, I would have posted more with a link to my own forum and started a SF table under "Eternity Road."

I'm still thinking about having a table for SF, and I would like to pick someone from here or the Nexus board to moderate it. Any suggestions?

Great idea Ren :)

Someone can post a pointer over at ST.com for you once their server settles and go from there. As to moderator.... well someelese can work on that problem.

But why bring the entire Nexus site(s) down because one person is dissatisified? could not that one person simply walk away and allow the site to continue? does he fathom how many people he's hurting by selfishly bringing down Nexus so no one can enjoy it?

Nexus was up and growing in popularity. It had some really interesting threads, including the Trial of Enterprise. For the most part, posters were treating one another with respect.

So the management could not work out their differences? that is very sad.

If I were to volunteer, what would be expected of me as far as "monitoring" the site, Ren?

If "monitoring" does not require staying on line all the time, I might be interested.

Can Wissa do it AND manage this board at the same time? So far I've had a personal rule that someone who's a mod or admin on another board shouldn't be a mod on mine because of time.

Wissa can tell me if she wants to do it if she wants to.

It has alot to do with the way people have been treating each other and taking advantage when certain admins want things done.

Though some of the admin are working to get the site back.

No, I would expect to have more then one mod on that table because I know people have other things to do.

I would expect mods to start threads about other aspects of SF, introduce other sites that would be of interest, and keep the ST/SW fanboy drooling to a minimum.

Ah yes good point

It wasnt Tib that bought the board down but i do think he was the final straw before it all happen. Apprantly its all the admin being horrible to Galaxy so McClain got fed up and shut it

From what I gather it was this.

There were power trips amongst the admin and mods.

Not all were friends, and couldn't set aside their differences in managing the boards for the good of the members.

Tib made a thread that contained porn and it was moved to an area for ADMIN only because it's against the invision free rules.

He didn't like this and so he decided to leave.

He blamed Darren for this.

Kai, Rajiin and I think one more party were working on getting Tib back, but somehow this involved something negative happening to Darren.

Locuteness, who began the site was on Darren's side in this matter early on.

Apparently the infighting with the powers that be got so great that the plug was pulled.

Got this message from Rajiin today

Quote:
 
We removed Darren as Admin at Nexus and Joel got pissed and destroyed the board beyond repair. We are trying to get a new Nexus up and running.



So they are attempting to get nexus up again. I suspected as much since none of the remaining admins were anywhere today. Wonder if McClain will be a member of the newest nexus.

I'd be surprised if he is. I know of another person who has said they probably won't return there!

Kai is on st.com now 'explaining' but in honesty i dont think ill go to nexus trek if they make a new one. But i doubt they will let Galaxy or McClain on to the new forum but i dont think they would want to
