Post by: {AP} on April 12, 2010, 08:13:52 am: I've been root admin of several forums and the only time my PMs were THAT bad is when I had a girlfriend. D=

Post by: SirCmpwn on April 12, 2010, 08:32:00 am: Woah, geez!
I have about 15 pms, and I've been here for two months.

And do you have any spam in all that mess? :P

Post by: Zera on April 12, 2010, 12:11:08 pm: Clear your inbox once in a while. :P

I tend to be OCD about that. I can't stand having a ton of messages accumulated in my e-mail, for instance. I frequently delete things I've already read and responded to.

Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 12, 2010, 01:27:27 pm: Same as juju here. I think on Gmail I got 7203 msgs (altough this includes notifications of PMs, FB, my old Youtube account and new members joining Omnimaga/TIMGUL). I sometimes enjoy going back through old calc e-mails and sometimes it brings me back old memories, especially when I land on an old version of a calc game somebody sent me or that I sent someone.

As for forum PMs, keep in mind two or three of them are rickrolls I received, though :P, and I think about 10 are from Nerd83+/Ideasfactory83+ (all within the same hour, IIRC)

Post by: nemo on June 11, 2010, 10:27:54 am: i wonder how many quigibo has about axe parser..
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: ztrumpet on June 11, 2010, 12:19:37 pm: I have 205 total PMs. 91 of them are from DJ, including two rickrolls. ;D
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 11, 2010, 05:07:16 pm: I wouldn't be surprised if Quigibo had a lot. I hope he isn't overhelmed too much with questions, though. That's one thing I've been worrying about Axe success x.x

Fortunately, since a lot of people here are experienced with it, they'll be able to help too, though, but still, I remember when I got 10 emails a day about ROL3 and Zelda DLQ on how to install it. If it was like that with just games, imagine with a new programming language

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 10, 2010, 01:44:03 pm: 977... it's getting close...
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: Michael_Lee on November 10, 2010, 02:24:09 pm: :c
Do you really need to personally go through each and every pm?
Surely you could delegate a lot of the questions/requests...
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 10, 2010, 02:27:17 pm: Oh I don't get as much requests anymore. The small red notice in my sig kinda helped. I can't imagine how many PMs I would have now if I also got requests. O.O

Post by: Netham45 on November 10, 2010, 02:35:54 pm: Totally off topic, but what does 'Perdidisti ludum' mean?
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 10, 2010, 03:39:59 pm: It means "You have lost the game." in latin.

Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 10, 2010, 04:01:02 pm: Cool
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: TC01 on November 10, 2010, 04:21:37 pm: I noticed that a while ago, since I knew what it said. :P

It might be better as "Ludum perdidisti", though, as in Latin verbs tend to go at the end of the sentence or phrase.

Post by: MRide on November 10, 2010, 04:47:07 pm: When I saw the date of the first post, I knew there had to be a necropost somewhere in here. :P
But, that's seriously a lot of PMs.

Darn you :P
(Translates as "I have lost the game again", btw.)
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 11, 2010, 01:05:28 am: I think like 300 of my PMs are from the same person. :P
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: TIfanx1999 on November 11, 2010, 02:30:25 am: Sorry, I'll quit spamming your inbox with Rickrolls.
Spoiler For Spoiler:
Just kidding! :P Also... THE GAME
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 11, 2010, 02:47:09 am: I think I sent about 15 of those so far. :P

Also, one of them was kinda unexpected, because it was after JoeYoung/Metagross111 got banned, I sent a PM to the entire staff called "IMPORTANT!!! About Metagross ban!!" , but the PM contained a rickroll. :P

I think these situations gotta be the best moment to rickroll people. J/k :P

I remember that, that one was particularly sneaky! >_> and yea it did work really well actually. ^^ But then i got Rickrolled. XD
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 11, 2010, 03:10:44 am: Oh wait wow I remember you were staff too. How could have I forgotten that?? I think at one point I should write a new About page, listing all staff that were part of this team at one point.
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: TIfanx1999 on November 11, 2010, 04:36:09 am: I dunno, life's busy sometimes and we forget the details. :P Maybe a History of Omnimaga section? It could be sticked and possibly locked so it doesn't get over 9000 posts. =) There could be a section where former staff could be listed.
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 11, 2010, 09:48:37 am: I would most likely put it in the Misc->Articles section or directly as Misc->About as a page like the rules.
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: ztrumpet on November 12, 2010, 07:37:09 pm: That would be neat. I like that idea.
Would you include the Non-Staff IRC ChanOps?
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 12, 2010, 08:15:17 pm: I'm not too sure. Eventually I might and I might include the staff from the old board and the IRL Omnimaga team.
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: yunhua98 on November 13, 2010, 08:10:00 pm: I think theres a not complete list at brandonw's wiki.
btw, who was in the IRL Omnimaga team? do any of them still frequent calc forums?
Title: Re: The price of being root admin of a forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 14, 2010, 05:25:31 am: They never actually made it to forums. One guy helped me work on Mystique: La Larme du Dragon (most of the story and design) and my bro helped me on Illusiat 9 and designed Mana Force 2. That was before we even had a site. And yeah the list on BrandonW wiki isn't complete and up to date. On the old Invisionfree board, I included most retired staff who actually contributed signifiantly as staff.

Nah, it isn't. I indeed have that many PMs. :P I bet if an admin still have my account password he could even confirm by himself. :P
