Lewycool Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 When I opened up zis topic, my immediate reaction was "Man Lewy, not you too. Did you turn into Maef or something?" except slightly less eloquent. The talk of sexism is practically the only thing new and interesting to me (and not really new, just something I haven't seen in a thread before). Well, the LC is dead more or less. Also, in some ways the LC was set up specifically to make mods not have to do anything but make moderation decisions whilst people responsible for other parts would take responsibility for those. It would be weird if the mods were to be expected to dip their noses into everything now, lol. Anyway: In most if not all cases of things not happening very fast on Fuwa, the cause is that the people involved are too lazy or busy to work on it. I'm not trying to raise a banner and create a rebel army I'm just making people aware of how Fuwa is recently and also to remind people we have projects we should go back to for the good of the community.... And to also get a more supporting admin team...
nohman Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Will be interesting to see what come of all this Spoiler: Nothing. Tyrael, solidbatman, ohiowar and 1 other 4
Soulless Watcher Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 The way it's going I doubt there will be a fuwa. Nothing will keep people interested and they'll move onto the next community. But I'm not just talking how toxic people are lately. I'm also talking about how inactive projects are and how tay is trying to be a one man army. We need a stable Admin group who always has someone who is active and keen to help and keep projects alive. I don't understand what you mean by "projects". If you were talking about translation projects the way I understood it, was that fuwanovel only promoted translation projects and supplied a place for mutual discussion on said project. I didn't think they were directly involved with the translation groups. Though I am a new member so I don't know much about how things worked in the past.

Are you aware of the Development Board?
Soulless Watcher Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Erm.. Are you aware of the Development Board? Well, again isn't that just a place for people who are working on projects to inform this community of their progress and to discuss current projects?
rainsismyfav Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Erm.. Are you aware of the Development Board? I don't think Fuwa can really influence what goes on translation projects. At the end of the day it's up to the team itself to make progress. Unless you mean to supply TL groups with recruits?? Or create discussions surrounding the translation project that would make people join?? I'm quite confused by what is it that you'd like the Fuwa admin team to do to support the projects.
Jptje Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 As for why projects are less active, I would think it's simply because of the time of year. I think most of the people here are age 15-25, I assume plenty people are busy with exams and such. In any case, I don't think it's something to worry about just yet... there'll always be periods where more things happen and periods where relatively little is going on, such as now.

Nah the lack of commitment and and activity on the LC has been around since it was created. It's just been left to sit there.

I'm talking about the LC if you was confused. Sorry
sanahtlig Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 There needs to be less sexism and more mature topics decrying the ravages of loli censorship and the evils of institutionalized ero-censorship (e.g., Steam releases) around here. Soulless Watcher 1
Eclipsed Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Tells everybody to go to DevBoards when talking about 'projects' instead of just saying 'I'm talking about LC which is a forum only LC members can see' ;p

Heizei_koukousei Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 As a project lead myself I can attest to what Jptje has said. Productivity fluctuates, you can't expect people (especially people who are pretty much volunteers) to be working like a machine on fan translating. Just because there isn't much happening right now doesn't mean that there a bunch of "inactive projects". You really have to be directly involved with fan translating to understand how things work. It seems like people are already forgetting about Majikoi Edit: Clarification has been made, but my point still stands.
Eclipsed Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Oh but yeah I'll agree with Lewy then that the LC should start being alot more... idk, communicative in their activities? Ever since Tay announced them 5 months ago we got absolutely no word or updates from them whatsoever which I will assume is due to everybody being busy™
Lewycool Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 Oh but yeah I'll agree with Lewy then that the LC should start being alot more... idk, communicative in their activities? Ever since Tay announced them a couple of months ago we got absolutely no word or updates from them whatsoever which I will assume is due to everybody being busy It's because Tay is only one man. He can't do everything on his own. We need an expanded admin who always has someone active.
Eclipsed Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 So you guys do have things planned, but need an admin to roll out the changes? Or nothing's been planned all this time because there's no admin around to discuss changes with?
Heizei_koukousei Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 We might as well just rename Tay King or God or something and then turn one or two global mods into admins. My vote is with Tiago.
sanahtlig Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Tay has been hard at work behind the scenes. If things pan out, Fuwanovel is in for some nice surprises.
Iseeyou Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I aprove of Maefdomn for admin. On another note lets hope those surprises are nice surprises
Lewycool Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 We might as well just rename Tay King or God or something and then turn one or two global mods into admins. My vote is with Tiago. We used to have a structure when aaeru was here and when she left.. It just seemed to of slipped away
Mr Poltroon Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Tay has been hard at work behind the scenes. If things pan out, Fuwanovel is in for some nice surprises. Oh yes, hype them up more. Like there's not enough complaints about the slowness of things. Tay the God King has a nice ring to it. What say you? But yeah, we need more admins. Tay can't do it all himself, and Nayleen is pretty inactive, or at least works mostly behind the scenes. I have absolutely no idea who admin or Checkmate are. That's a terrible thing to say. As you presumed, he just does behind the scenes works. And recently he has been somewhat busy as well. As for admin, I think it's probably some kind of dummy account that was created with the forums. And Checkmate would be the host of the old server (or something to that effect).
Heizei_koukousei Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Very serious Seriously, don't scare me like that
Down Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 To be clear, the only admin of the site is Tay. Nayleen has admin status because he needs full access to the admin panel and Checkmate is still admin because... idk probably as a honorary position considering him being our former host but he's never been involved with the administration of fuwanovel. I'm not sure what you guys are waiting for besides the front side (which is indeed going slowly but we can't do much about that). Moon is running and it's fairly successful, the blogs feature is a thing that keeps being used, including the highlight team, the blog is running although not at full capacity, the social media are working... and our PR is expanding behind the scenes and there could indeed be some announcements soon regarding that.
