but that's my point, gb9. if you were to disappear, the site would have exactly the same problem as MARP.

read what i said in the other post about management vs. investment. i fully support a limited, unelected/undemocratic group in management, but not in site control/ownership, because it makes everything a risky investment. follow me?

i was never going after you back at MARP for organizing a democracy--the only gripe i had with that, specifically, is that RRoO is a painfully slow way to get things done--it was rather that we apply the wrong systems to the wrong points. the more you spread ownership over a group, the higher and the safer the investment. the opposite, however, happens with management--inefficiency and misinformed decisions are made (look at what happened with the tournaments, LB, and voting at MARP--you got a taste of what i did, years later, when you tried to assert control of a situation that was getting out of hand (in my case, i mean the voting stuff, not the cutting Tommi off, which was a bad decision on my part and cost me))

one site 'owner' is a very risky investment for a player, since by absenteeism or 'burning the house down' (if they chose), they can effectively destroy hours of work/investment by their players.


(optional reading)***(what pissed me off in the RC debacle, all those years ago, is that Benjos *deliberately* took what i said in IRC Editor's chat about democracy out of context, and started misrepresenting my position. and that THAT all started because i said, of all things, that i didn't think his Pnickies clear should be on the tips and tricks page, since it wasn't either of those)

Yeah... I can understand all of that frustration. I've had my frustration too, and I definitely wished I didn't leave my editor post in 2003 or 2004 or whenever I did it.

All this being said, I think we need to learn from the past and apply that to the future. That being said, I really need to give Chad rights to the PHP files on my site. (assuming he still wants those rights) My issue is that I program for a living. When I program for 40 hours / week, I'm not really motivated to program anything else. Then we would have two people improving the site. Better chances of making things better, yes?

[Q.T.Quazar]

yes. and i totally understand the programming thing. i have the same problem with writing. nor is it easy to let other people into your baby. but i think the long-term gains outweigh what you lose in exclusivity--especially in terms of legacy.

That's a valid and very good point, I admit. But anyway, I think I'm ready to give you a username/pw to HARP if you want to help out, Chad. Let me know.

[Chad]

yeah i would love to help out, but i also don't have a lot of my time to devote, i found another bumpable issue maybe i can work on related to comments:

http://www.homeactionreplay.org/editcomment.php

this page should show previous comments so you can know more about what you are commenting or responding to in comments. I made a comment link click mistake and added a comment/response to the wrong game, if i knew that there were diffferent comments i might have hit back and clicked the right comment link before submiting.

where can I go to look at source, or just login with new username?

[gameboy9]

Login w/ the username/pw, then go into the homeactionreplay.org directory. All the PHP files should be there.
