The reason I suggested not linking them directly is that the other one may be a free for all, filled with foul, harsh language in open forum. A free for all, as Joe put it.

The ape has been caged for too long!!!

It's about time! We've all been waiting to pop the lock on that cage and see what happens.

Not really...Atlantis4Life ran it like a gestapo on the rear end. Also, I think he did a horrible job selecting moderators and playing favorites. Can this Council be accused of that here? I dont think so. Since people from here will be on the Council, it will be not quite as lax as SGUS in some respects, but in all respects it will be different than GateFans.

A Council is needed to glue together the Moderators which are needed to keep threads clean of porn, ads, spam and trolls. At least an Admin, but frankly, I am just too busy, and I think I a too oipinionated to take charge of a site like that alone. Not my style. All Council members will be able to verify that I am fair and do not take a "boss" role here.

Hi Overmind!

I remember only too well what led to the demise of SGU Sucks. If you recall I actually got caught a little bit in the middle of it courtesy of a couple of the wackier admins there. I was more curious about what role you envisioned for a Council in the new site. What you envision makes perfect sense.

If I join does that mean I need to keep watching this boring show?

I wish there were good clean subtitles to some shows so that I can watch the shows in fast forward and still catch the dialogue, I can skim read kinda fast. I do it sometimes with foreign movies on vlc, they don't distort the sound as much.

Yep. And you arent just joining...you are on the Council automatically . It was your idea to buy the domain...CONGRATULATIONS!

Just created my user account.

I've started a conversation there. I hope others will feel inspired to join in.

 

[shavedape]

I'm tied up right now with a full day of stuff so I'm going to join tonight. I'm thinking about using a slightly different name there and would like some feedback. I'm considering using "AngryApe" or "EnragedApe". Or should I just stay with the old standby? What say you folks?

 

[Illiterati]

Ape...I like either one...but only because "ApeItsWhatsForDinner" might be a bit long. <evil grin>

I am in the process of setting up the hosting as I write this. I have purchased two years registration and two years of hosting space. Within 3 hours, there will be a parking page with Defiance Sucks there, and I will start preparing the forums. They will be vBulletin 4, since I have two unused registered licenses. This weekend, major work can be done.

OMNI...where are you? I have some work for you again...(paid, of course).

what do you need? i am on skype.

as for the idea? not really feeling it as i have absolutly NO intrest in defiance what-so-ever, having skimmed thru a couple episodes i know its awfull but i couldnt care less about it hating on it really.

 

[Overmind One]

I installed the new forums last night, but they need integration and OMNI will be making some graphics for us there.

I started up a thread under General Discussion in case people find it early.

OMG OMG...need smileys! They will need to be Defiance themed. Also, invitations will go out to those on YouTube and gaming forums where I am seeing rants being posted.

Administrators are easy to promote like it is here. We were gonna go vBulletin but Xenforo won out.

For the record: This new site is co-owned by Bluce and myself. He has invested in it financially as have I. Just wanted to say that!

Bro! That was just my way of giving a little something back, not to take co-ownership. You really didn't need to tell anyone. You've given so much of yourself between time and your own wallet without any expectations I figured I'd show my appreciation.

Okay, for those of you who are watching Defiance and hating it (or loving it), we have an opportunity to have some great fun. The show is guaranteed two years, and who knows...it might eek out a third season. Doubtful, but possible. I have committed to watching every episode until it is cancelled. To me, this feels like SGUS all over again.

The rules will have to be more....relaxed, of course. There will likely be new members coming back to speak in favor of the show, and others to chime in.

Looking for ideas! Should this be a completely different site, or should it be a public association with GateFans (eg: brought to you by GateFans)? I see its lifetime as being two years, so this is not a long term website we will be building. Like SGUS was.

Comments?

SPACKLEBABY is that you?

anyhow-how/where could it be "Adverted" so that more people sign up? How long-for example-do you think a post at the syfy forum for the site would last? And, more fun, just how much do you think it would make their mod's head's explode?

thats cool, thx

but wouldn't it suck if some hack at syfy counted the site as proof that "fans will pay for their love of defiance" type of spin job?
