Title: All I Want For Christmas Is...
Post by: AngelFish on December 19, 2014, 02:54:42 pm
Merry Christmas everyone! Or, depending on your particular bent, glad Yule, merry Yalda, joyous Ashura, happy Hanukkah, and if you happen to be a time traveling Roman who has learned how to use the internet, merry Saturnalia!

As many people are aware, the administrative team has been discussing some major changes due to recent events. This post is the first of these, to announce the staff reorganization.

We'd like to welcome the following members as our wonderful new Coders of Tomorrow:



Unfortunately, promotions require room to be made. The following people have agreed to step into new roles as CoT Emeriti:


Our beloved administrator Shmibs will be stepping down alongside the latter group. She has decided to pursue her lifelong dream of opening a cupcake shop in Canada. Although we hate to see her go, Canada has long suffered without a proper cupcake industry. Let us wish them the best of luck in rescuing our favorite country from its cupcake woes.

Have a happy holidays! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZNi1qTOF_Y)

Congrats to everyone for the promotions! :D It was about time that the CoT group sees some refreshing to be honest, because only like 1-2 in there still posted on a regular basis >.<

I hope Shmibs still visits Omni from time to time tho D:

Have a happy holidays! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZNi1qTOF_Y)

Wait a minute. It's not the right color...

Why weren't Matref and I considered for CoT ? I mean, nKaruga and SSBO were quoted on external websites, and SSBO even brought 300 guests a day on Omnimaga. So why not us ?

How about this (http://www.theppk.com/books/vegan-cupcakes-take-over-the-world/)?

Do you have to request to be a CoT? It could also be because you two are more suitable to be CotFF (Coders of the Far Future) ;)

Btw, i hope you don't mind me pointing this out, but unlike French in English we don't put a space before punctuation (ie. question marks and exclamation points). I think that's the easiest way to tell if someone is French online, seeing a space before a question mark :P

Well, even if you have to request to be a CoT, I did it, on 06/05/2012 (or maybe 05-06-2012, depending on the way you write dates). And AngelFish answered me the same day that I was meeting all requirements and that I was added to the list of applicants.
So the only reason I see for me not to be a CoT is that I don't meet the requirements anymore, and I'd like to know why.

No problem ;)
I know it, it's just that when I type, I either don't think about it or only think about it after I finished typing and get lazy to fix it :P

Ah, then no idea. I think both of you have brought a lot to Omnimaga and to the TI community as a whole and deserve to be on the team :)

As honored hand happy I am to be CoT, I agree that Matref and Hayleia are very deserving of the title and if there is some sort of limit on the number of CoTs, then I would actually (but somewhat grudgingly) step down so that one of them could become CoT.

Well I am probably not a problem for you since I mostly code for z80 and you mostly code for Nspire :P

Post by: TIfanx1999 on December 26, 2014, 06:30:03 pm
There is no limit on CoTs as far as I know. Also, for the record; we are considering a few more people at the moment. :)
Title: Re: All I Want For Christmas Is...
Post by: aeTIos on December 29, 2014, 06:01:00 pm
I agree that both matref and Hayleia should get serious consideration for CoT positions, and if they don't get those, I'd like to see an explanation of the whynots.

Also, is the last part fake or not? I can't be sure of fakiness until the right brown color is used ~.~

Post by: pimathbrainiac on December 29, 2014, 07:19:41 pm
My guess is that they were considered, but ruled out for some reason, and I trust that the admins had good reasons.
Title: Re: All I Want For Christmas Is...
Post by: Hayleia on December 30, 2014, 01:39:53 am
Well Matref got reasons why he was not taken (reasons that have nothing to do with his coding level or his projects so yeah, I accept them as "good reasons") but I was not given any reasons for now.

And the reason why I posted here and didn't ask in PMs is that I can check that topic without logging in while I can't check my PMs this way -.-
Same reason why I never posted on CodeWalrus for those who are wondering (even though that has nothing to do with the topic).

Hum, my only explanation was "you lost by one vote", which is not really an explanation.
Title: Re: All I Want For Christmas Is...
Post by: Hayleia on December 30, 2014, 05:33:15 am
Oh wait, you were not given those reasons I was talking about. They were given to someone else who asked them. It's basically that you used to be a bit not so polite if you see what I mean :P
It's been a while since I last saw you say uncatholic words though (except swearing in appropriate moments).
Title: Re: All I Want For Christmas Is...
Post by: Matrefeytontias on December 30, 2014, 07:11:56 am
Ah okay. That's probably linked to the n2DLib / nGL argument thing. Though I find it a bit harsh to refuse the CoT title because of "being unpolite a few times", I agree that it's still a valid reason.
