Is This Thing On?

It doesn't matter where I say something - I feel like people aren't listening.

IRC
I try to be there as much as I can, though it seems like my time there is somewhat wasted. Sure I'll get into a good round of shooting the bullshit and hell I might even enjoy it, but it seems like there's just so much dead time there. Everyone is always "quiet" or "away". If people DO talk it's usually just sarcasm or general crap. I'm not saying I'm innocent. I'm well known for my bizarre interjections, but there needs to be more of a purpose to this communication. Meetings seem to be a thing of the past, though in hindsight I don't really see their purpose after the inital establishing of the DJB as its own entity, free of the chains of the EH.

This brings up another point that's kind of pissing me off lately. An incident came up with someone being a real jerk in the main channel. I have ops there, but I'm not sure what I can and can't do. Some say I just shouldn't have ops because I didn't really do anything. These are the same people who didn't really ASK me to do anything.

I was watching the conversation and though he was saying some pretty frustrating stuff he wasn't flat out attacking people until much later into his rant - which is where I stepped in. The majority of his bullshit fell under the general concept of Free Speech. He could say all he wants about how he felt on a situation as long as he wasn't offending someone (in the channel) directly. People might have been uncomfortable but they had every right to speak up as well. I'm aware he needs to be banned now, and I'll take that into consideration in the future.

Wiki!
Guess what? This was the Secret Project I've been working on for a couple months now. I hope you all enjoy the framework I helped build. Overall I made something like 250 unique articles, though I'll admit most of them are 'stubs' or tiny, somewhat insignificant articles that hold very little data. However, they were very important since they included nearly all the Acronyms in the Acronym category, all the Ranks, and a restructure of all the charinfo box templates.

I'm glad this is public now only so that I'm not the among only few people adding crap to the pages. The frustrating part for me (up until I created the Getting Started guide) was trying to get people to conform to the structure I was trying to put in place.

One specific person was being kind of a jackass about it, so I had to enforce my power. I hate doing that. I want people to have fun with this stuff - not shy away from it because they might get yelled at. Still - push my buttons and you'll get it back much worse.

Forums
I've posted a few topics lately - some in the DC only area - that have received zero responses. I swear, it's times like this when I wonder why the hell I bother writing anything down. I also threw an e-mail out to the Summits asking about their GJW stuff but again, no reply at all.

All in all the Forums stuff is going along nicely. The reconstruction is done for now, the Trash Can was cleared, Briana's Bar was reset and I can't think of any more I could do aside from clear the Spam Boards.

This Blog Thing
I haven't checked today but I don't recall seeing any comments. This makes me wonder if I'm the only one reading this thing. I imagine there's like 3 people... Oh well. If anything they can use this when I'm gone to show how active I really was as a DP.
