No one seems to have heard from Ericl in quit some time. Until he returns, we'll need someone to stand in and captain our ship. I'm going to nominate a few possibilities. It's up to you to vote for your favorites. Who would you like to see with the iron gavel?

My vote is for FOREVER AUTUMN based on two reasons:

1. I would vote her for President of the US, but she is in Canada.
2. She is the only woman in the poll and it's about time a woman runs something.

(ahem, is this thing on?) My fellow, AR.com-ers...If elected your new leader, I promise to do my best to preserve the values we all hold so dear. Ar.com isn't about the individual, it's about community. As such, I don't want to be thought of as a leader - no, no, no...I prefer the term...

Ruler!

And as your ruler I shall decree unto thee 12 demandments:

1) Kex is always right - arguing with Kex is an exercise in futility. Even if you're right - I reserve the privilege of modifying your post to make your good points look silly.

2) All posts on Wednesdays shall include the words "Lost", "Dharma", or "Others"

3) Nobody shall use the term "all channels driven" as support for an argument

4) GM is to throw me more pool parties with the same hired catering service as before.

5) Posters responding to threads that are more than 4 weeks old shall be taken to the new Pillory Forum for public flaming.

6) In addition to "Quote" and "Go Advanced" buttons, forums will now be equipped with RTFM instant replies.

7) Using the words "Pace, Rythm, and Timing" to describe anything with lights on it is forbidden.

8) Using the words "Pace, Rythm, and Timing" to describe anything is forbidden.

9) Posters in "Fave Films" forum who fail to signal "spoiler alert" shall be taken to the Pillory for flogging.

10) Posters will visit Rave Recs each Tuesday to list their current playlists in the revived Tunesday threads...

11) Henceforth, Mondays shall be the day we all stop to appreciate the musical genius that is Styx.

12) I shall appoint Worf to the dual-role as my Minister of Polling/forum jester....

Vote for Kex...It's time for a change! (worked for Clinton).

You could have voted for yourself. See my, "write ins are welcome" notation? I voted for LJ myself.
But sorry, only one vote per person this time. Your vote for Feanor has been counted.
But at least you're in a tie with me for 6th place.

The standings so far.

FA - 2 votes - 1st place
John - 1 vote - tie for second
Kex - 1 vote - tie for second
Feanor - 1 vote - tie for second

I definitely spend more time in RR...I think I probably post there more too since speaker, HT, general, amp,etc split the rest. Maybe I read more than I post though, I try not post when I don't have anything positive to say, but I'm guilty of venting at times too.

Fave films gets more time too...I find the other forums a little dull to be honest. There's only so many which $350 receiver should I get threads a man can take.

OK, how about this question?

Do you think a RECEIVER is good ENOUGH for a PROFESSIONAL DVD reviewer to use to review MOVIES with? Let me explain. I am the OFFICIAL DVD reviewer in these here parts. And I have a RECEIVER. But it's an ONKYO. And MY system HAS been calibrated by a PROFESSIONAL calibrator. HE told me that it's BEST to always have the CENTER at plus 10 while all the OTHER speakers are at minus 5. The two FRONTS are book shelf SPEAKERS, while the CENTER is a different brand SPEAKER. The surrounds ARE in the ceiling. PM me if YOU want to KNOW what brand THEY are.
Don't YOU wish that you COULD write like ME?

Gotta question: It seems like most of the mods around here don't post that often. Since Woochie has largely (but not completely) faded Kex really holds down the fort. I would be severly disappointed if his presence became mostly administrative--disappointed to the extent that I might lead a palace coup to the tune of "Et tu, Bobsticks?"

Besides, maybe I'd feel more egalitarian voting for the young lady since I doubt I'll be able to force myself into HRC.

PeruvianSkies
08-16-2007, 04:31 PM
I think we should elect the person with the largest posting presence because if anything I think it's important for mods and admins to be involved with the site, and if you are posting with a higher frequency than that means you are involved, although we are not talking about short term troll posting, but rather long-term commitment posting. If you go by posts alone Kex would be one of the top choices, but this is also stretched out over the course of quite some time. Others have been around a shorter amount of time and have a substantial amount of posts. I am nearly 2K and will most likely hit that mark before this username turns 1 year old. That means I have an average of around 6 posts/day. GMichael averages around 7/day. Kex is around 4.5/day. FA is around 2/day. Wooch around 2 1/2 per/day.

I didn't see you in the top of the list, but I am not exactly sure how it does the 'active' ranking...I think it has to do with several factors: posts, # of pictures, # of visits to your pictures, and responses on pictures, etc.

I get into too many fights to be in admin anyway. I'm content being the unofficial AR goon.

It is. I don't want Ericl replaced. Just thought that if he was arround at all, he'd see this and chime in.

FA, I hope that you are correct about the vacation and that he's perfectly OK.

PS, There are still a few mods around who would most likely jump right in if we got out of hand. I even saw that Geof deleted a few porno posts last week. Haven't seen him post in a long time.

I miss the good ol' days when Florian and RGA would go at it. Or Florian and Geof. Or Wooch & Lex & Sir T. Or RL and most anyone else. Markw would keep the noobs in line. SVI would keep us all laughing our butts off. How about Soundideas? Anyone remember him and his crazy pixysnot?

I'm sure that we'll have a nice party with plenty of fun activities. We're going to start off with, "can you match up this driver?" Kex will be disassembling everyone's speakers. If you can guess which drivers came from yours, then he'll put it back together for you. If you can match up other drivers with the correct enclosures then you get to keep them after he puts those together.
First up, we have a 82" x 38" sheet of mylar. Can you guess where this goes?

It seems that no one who has the powers to turn the ship at this point really care if we crash and burn. Apparently this site can exist with or without this forum and therefore it doesn't really matter if we are here or not, we are just a bonus for the site if we somehow get people to come or buy stuff.

Now what is backwards about this is the fact that while they might not think that they need us, imagine what type of business this site could generate if they actually listened to our feedback and actually made this a cool place to come to...now that would be sweet, but I doubt it will happen.

Now that would take some serious masterminding and effort on all those involved, plus not everyone would want to disassemble their gear and transport it, but I wish that we could somehow listen to everyones setup...maybe we just rent out a huge van/bus and drive all over and listen to everyones stuff?

rule by commitee is painfully slow in the real world, its going to be even moreso in an online environment. i think 5 is too big, 3 should be the maximum, and they should be three people who rarely share the same opinion - "if two people are in agreement, you can be sure that one of them is unecessary".

What if a board was put together made up of 11 people who are frequent visitors, want to see AR thrive, have a solid reputation, a decent post count, have been around for at least 3-6 months, and are willing to take the position for a designated amount of time, say...1 year for starters. T

This way in order to ban someone it must be approved by a majority of the votes from the board.
