"Forum team" groups question.

[Edwardo Piet]

Just wondering why donators are part of the "forum team" groups along with staff but ex-staff aren't.

I understand ex-staff aren't part of the staff anymore (although that's not always permanent) but then donators aren't either(the ones who aren't also staff I mean, the purple ones), so why are they part of the forum team but ex-staff aren't? Especially when the ex-staff sometimes return, like I have.

Just wondering what others think, both my fellow staff and other forum users.

So should we perhaps include ex-staff for a fourth group of the "forum team"? Perhaps only including the active ones rather than the ex-staff that may never return?

What about an "active ex-staff" group?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Because they're filthy quitters and should be cast into the pits of hell?

Do we need to be considered part of a "team"?

I don't know about the rest of you but it's not like I'm contributing in some meaningful fashion.

[Minimalist]

Don't sell yourself short, Sweetie.

[thesummerqueen]

Prettying up the sarcasm isn't meaningful - I call a spade a spade.

[Faith No More]

I had never noticed that I wasn't part of the team, but now that I know, goddamit, I want in!

In all seriousness, I don't see this as a big deal. There are probably better ways for the staff to use thier resources, like smiting all those fucking spam bots.

[Edwardo Piet]

Oh it's definitely not a big deal.

Oh and that is a point, that donators are contributing more especially than ex-staff members, as are current staff members.

But still, active ex-staff seem closer to being part of the 'forum team' than standard members is all, and sometimes they return to staff.

I dunno, I guess I just expected the 'forum team' to just be staff and although including donors make sense, I just thought why not include ex-staff as well.

I guess part of me just expected all the colors that weren't the standard light blue to be included?

Because they're filthy quitters and should be cast into the pits of hell?

This is pretty much the reason. People who get special treatment: Admins, Moderators, people who give us $$$. Everyone else can fuck off.









</joke> (if it wasn't obvious)

It was obviously a joke but either way I nearly pissed myself with laughter lmfao.
