The state of TQ.net forums

[GWarrior]

ok i was looking thru the site leaders yesterday . it seems to be a sad state of affairs .

90% of our Admins have never posted , same with our super Mods , the game developers post more ?

it is my suggestion that Batman & Gene be bumped up to Admin status , ps thanks for the great jobs you guys do on a daily basis .


and then we need some volunteers for Super Mod status , not nesseccarily me as due to my job it can sometimes take me 1hr to finish a post .

doing this i see the forums becoming easier to access and proliferate .

only problem i dont know who to contact to start this process , with out stepping on anyones toes .

so what does everyone think ? or is there any other better ideas?

Thanks for the kind words.

In order to do what you intend you would need to buy the site. And, seeing as this would mean contacting the current owners, this seems unlikely.

Personally, I enjoy doing what I am doing. Being the Forum Janitor suits me.

[GWarrior]

cool , sorry i didnt realise that my wording was that way , thanks for pulling me up .

but cant the powers that be just wave a wand and make some new admins/mods ?

I believe it takes a little click of the button. But I am not quite sure because I have never owned a site before.

hehe...Batman, you should change your descript to "King Forum Janitor"

Hello TQerz,

Hi, my name is Mike and I am a game junky.

Like my colleague LanLocked, I am part of iEntry, Inc. here in Lexington and one of your new admins.

I was quite excited about the TQnet acquisition. I have not managed to get a copy of TQ installed yet, but I am going to try to remedy that today if **possible.

Insofar as my gaming CV goes, here is a list of games I play or still have. An ** means I'm currently playing/working on it.

iEntry Incorporated is a privately held American email newsletter and Internet media publisher based in Lexington, Kentucky. Founder Rich Ord started the company in 1999 as a resource for small and medium sized businesses seeking information on electronic commerce and technology topics.

The ascent of search advertising has influenced both mainstream and online media, and has become a focal point for coverage in iEntry's newsletters and Web sites.

[edit] History

In the dot-com boom days, iEntry published email newsletters carrying a variety of content. Many focused on technology, while some ranged into topics like humor.

When the dot-com crash took place in March 2000, iEntry retrenched afterward and shifted to a more technology-centric model. The shift proved successful, and unlike many online businesses, iEntry survived the economic downturn. iEntry is now one of the largest B2B email newsletter publishers and owns popular eBusiness websites. iEntry owned sites includes the popular news site WebProNews which covers eBusiness and search engine news. WebProNews has recently (Oct 2006) pioneered video news coverage of search engine conferences.

iEntry Web sites receive continual updates from its staff of writers and contributors and cover issues related to the search advertising, e-commerce, and technology industries. iEntry has approximately 40 employees based in Lexington, KY. iEntry also has over 100 blog partners which it republishes content from and over 500 contributing writers.

Any volunteers to phone them?

I ain't doing it from UK. Sorry.

[Potpie]

What would we say?

Do realize this: this site represents a revenue source to them.

The ads running here are probably a nice little worry-free revenue stream.
