Hey, guys! I'm Doug. You might know my from one of my various older threads scattered about the forum [particularly, my now dead/temporarily closed sprite shop and my contributions to the (apparently still actively used? o:) Establishments of the Glitch thread, which you can expect an update of soon].
Once upon a time, when this board had no more a half dozen active users, I was one of the pretty heavy contributors. I ended up working my way up to becoming a moderator, and, well, that was just a really rewarding experience. However, I had to take a bit of an unexpected, sudden, and uninformed personal leave and in doing so left a lot of holes where I shuffled away. Honestly, I still feel a bit guilty about the whole thing. But now, I'm back, and I am so immensely happy that The Glitch has moved along to where it where it is now, the playerbase almost tripling in size and with so many new additions, it's crazy.
That said, here I am now, returned to the world of the living! I'm still going to be dealing residual personal things, but I am immensely excited and honored to announce that Lady and Cicada have invited me back as a sort of odds-and-ends mod, specifically, a sort of board custodian. Summer's coming, and with that comes a burst of activity, and hopefully, a lot more players! I'm going to be helping the mod teams with extra, certainly more nitty-gritty duties. This means you're going probably going to be seeing a bit more of me on the board, but I'll also be doing a bunch of behind-the-scenes organization stuff. For your convenience, I have arranged such things I'll be assisting with in two handy dandy lists.
Things I'll Be Doing:
- Taking more of a 'back seat' role, at least as far as content creation and major plot events go along.
- Cleaning up character censuses.
- Updating the Open Threads Masterlist
- Replying to open threads in above masterlist.
- Updating and Adding to the Establishments of the Glitch]Establishments of The Glitch thread.
-Updating the LOSAL Auction Hall with a bunch of crap.
- Picking up Minor and Side Quests.
- Mixologizing excellent loot for you guys in The Alchemiter.
- Other behind-the-scenes goodies and odds-and-ends work.
That said, I just wanted to make clear that I won't be breaking the board, either.
Things I'll Not Be Doing:
- Personally roleplaying on my own characters, at least not for a period of time. When I've better transitioned into coming back and am comfortable with my duties, maybe!
- Creating a major schism in the staff in such a way that would incite an eons-long war that splits the board into two (three?) distinctly separate factions.
- Reworking the structure in which you losers shove your nerdy little swords and Kingdom Hearts posters into the Alchemiter in a desperate attempt to re-enact your Akuroku years.
- Posting pictures of Mami Tomoe.
- Posting pictures of cats.
- Posting pictures of food porn.
- Contributing to anything related to the band System of a Down.
- Killing off all of your characters, at least not yet.
Hopefully, this clears up some questions that are bound to come. Lose no trust in your favorite moderators, I'll not be replacing them! Hopefully, I'll be able to meet and get to know the lot of you guys in the coming months. This is a really exciting opportunity for me, and I'll be doing my best to serve you guys so that you have the best experience at your stay here on The Glitch. If you want to say hi or have any questions, this thread'll be the place to do it.
