This is not at all an ad for myself:
I don't think the person who is chosen moderator of the forum should be the one who is most active in organizing meetups and the most 'social' of the bunch.
I feel the moderator should be somebody who is on the boards often, knows the dynamic community of TA, and knows what/when to sticky, what to promote, etc ...
Just my opinion.
* EDIT
I say this because me and jdat, although we might not be at many "TA organized events" because of whatever circumstances, know the board better than most. |

You're not aware of this cause I deleted it all but I brought up extremely valid points about the whole concentration around CHICAGO and all and well I was somewhat out of line for coming up as attacking porky publicly. In all respect to him I rectracted my comments. ( Others agreed to publicly .... )
But to put this shortly and not be as blunt as I was before, I think it's incorrect to chose a mod based on their local activity in the local scene. It is AND it isn't. Not to drag this out BUT this is an internet forum and if ones activity on the forum is not active then such responsibility should not be given to the person. It's only common sense. Now from a personal standpoint Porky's personal preference is relatively clear and I respect that; but as I indicated to him in private convos I have seen mods assigned to forums for "random" or unobjective reasons which made these forums turn dead due to inactivity from people in charge. Sorry if you want to call me a post whore ( which I clearly am not, I wouldn't think so because most of the posts I make are polite and well intended ) but I've been on forums ( not just TA ) for years and mod in many different ones and well ... if you make decision based on external facts well it's bound to lead to a 'situation'.
We are clearly faced with a tricky situation here that whichever way you cut it won't please all, that's life, but we have to make sense of what's realistic, and let me say this again this is NOT a Chicago forum exclusively.
Pardon my honesty Porky and people PLEASE do not take this as an attack against Porky he's like a bro to me and only understand such circumstances can I be this honest for his/our own good. Friends are there to be upfront.
I am out of the loop for numerous reasons I gues, so it's all go for UWM. |

The thought crossed my mind. I don't know if it's a necessity due to the size of this forum but for better operations that might be recommended. |
