Transition 2009: Executive Changeover

[Asher]

Tip #1: Content content content.

Adopt a modern CMS system and use the hell out of it. Hire new content editors. Have a "Strategy of the Week" or something. Have round-table discussions published (perhaps pruned from interesting threads of the week). Put a spotlight on the content being generated here.

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Thanks -Jrabbit, DrSpike, Blaupanzer.

why havent you left yet

[DanQ]

why havent you left yet

I'll still be around!

[Dinner]

Seriously.

Ming may be a bastard, but he's our bastard. This is some weak sauce.

QFT. Poly's going down the tubes.

[Heraclitus]

I wish the new administration well.



I am however somewhat uneasy at this change, I have been following poly as a lurker or poster since early 2000 and have gotten used to the way apolyton feels to this day it is the primary internet forum I visit.


PS I am pleased to hear that polycast will continue to be produced by DanQ. It adds a lot of value to the civ community and apolyton.

Thank you for the kind words, Hera.

Thank you for the kind words, Hera.

You're a kind person DanQ, the kind of person I would think most all want to see succeed, I know I do

[Drake Tungsten]

Good luck to the new owners. Don't screw it up.

It's already screwed up; the old admins wouldn't be jumping ship if it weren't.

[Zoid]

Just what I was thinking. But I guess we'll never know what really prompted this monumental change. But I mean three of he former admins starting a site of their own? Wtf?? Something isn't right here...

Partial correction: Dale was never an Apolyton administrator.

[Zoid]

I stand corrected.

Btw, I wonder if his recent meltdown wrt Asher is somehow connected to all this? It's just one weird thing after another...

[Provost Harrison]

At last, the Europeans take control

[Provost Harrison]

Two Dutch people as administrators? It's shpecial cake all round, yesh?

[Bloody Monk]

Good Luck to you Dan!!

I hope your new endeavors bring you great satisfaction. You have (pretty much) spent half your life with this Civ-thing and you and Mark will always be held in high regard for nurturing and shepherding this Community. It's been a truly great run.

Whatever you do, have fun with it!!

Ming, rah...thanks for bringing me along all those years ago. Can't see how not having your guidance will be a good thing for the site, but whatev. One of my regrets in life is that I got too sick to travel before I got a chance to get up to your berg for a visit and a game. Good luck, fellows!!
