Site is Going Unmoderated Right Now

I agree with the others that we should stick to this forum. A move to another forum is just not going to work out. I wouldn't mind chipping in a little for that payment either.

For now, everyone that hasn't, please do join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/jqYJBDr Use that link, and it should all work out! It's not a permanent solution, and certainly not everyone will join, but it's a way to stay in touch when things don't really go well here.

And I definitely volunteer to be a mod. I have the time and the vita-love for it.

All we need I guess is for Terra to become the owner of the website, for him to appoint a few mods, for those mods to get organized and divide the labor and then, finally, to collectively help Terra pay for the costs, right? So the first move is on Murphy to hand over the keys, but then afterwards we can get organized ourselves. Even if he doesn't hand over the keys, we just need a few mods that can organize things here properly.

 

Thanks Murphy, we appreciate that you've taken the time to address the issue, even though you're busy overseas. Thanks again for not giving up

 

Does this mean the one place i use to get all my new trainers at a bargain price will soon be over ? Bugger , Primark it is. What size are you Dojodan ?

ps who's been bumping and pushing up the normal threads most days .....

pps who deleted my secret Santa thread ?? As someone has with access before Murphy popped back ?

 

Oh man! ninty72 's spam wasn't just spam, it was counterspam!

Wait, secret santa thread's gone?? Noooo...

 

Good to have it all back to normal

 

Yeah, but it's still a temporary solution & what's worse - new members aren't allowed to register. That's pretty bad, since as we can see there are still new fishes to catch. The best example is Miroku . He is the newest member (registrated about week or two ago) and he charms us with more & more Vita love <3

Murphy:
1. Please appoint mods as soon as possible.
2. Please visit here from time to time to check if everything's alright.

 

I've already put my hand up for moderator.

 

It's fine Murphy, you've worked so hard and there is no need to sweat the small stuff we all appreciate what you did!

I'd also like to volunteer as mod should you have any positions left once you've made your decision.

 

*throws hat in the up for being a mod pile*

 

Whoa!! Thanks so much for the dedication, Murphy ! I've been on a few forums that went down thanks to inactive mods/owners and it's great to see that, despite being inactive, you spent a good amount of time trying to keep us up and going! Greatly appreciated!

 

Whoa nice, this is great news! Thanks for taking the time to delete all that mess. It was insane!

alf Awh....Thanks buddy!

 

We need more Mods or administration

Ppl waiting in limbo to join for months.....

mods please
Can I speak mod

 

Yep... We were going to get mods appointed but it never happened. I would still gladly take on the role

 

I'm afraid we could have 1000 mods but that still wouldn't rectify the problem. The only person with the ability to accept new members is the owner of the site, Murphy, and he has explained that he has little interest in this forum whilst simultanously no plans to hand the torch over to someone else.

 

Huh, really? Well that's some bollocks... Time to get Murphy back in to change things I guess. The way he talked about it before made it seem that a mod would be able to accept new members so that, with some new mods, we'd be able to manage ourselves.

 

If this place is not permitted to grow, then it will die and allready is. I'm personally getting tired of worrying about this place. I think it's due time we all jump ship to another forum. Maybe the official Sony Vita forum for Europe? I see really nothing wrong with that one.

 

I'd honestly miss it a little, but I'd be okay jumping ship if those that aren't on the discord would hop along. Primary reason to keep this alive is exactly for that, so if they wouldn't join us in the new forum, I'd have the same reason to stay here still.

 

It would be a real shame but I can see this site dropping dead sooner rather than later.

 

well that's a bit sh*te

 

Really glad we've got Discord after hearing Murphy has no interest in the site. As much as I'd be on board with another forum I think the time is past for making something brand new. I know theres a few holdouts but its really active and I'm trying to get it to be more structured like here with different spaces acting like the different threads we have here

I would suggest if people really want a forum to talk on the playstationcollecting forum would probably be a good option, they have a database too I've done some maintenance on that once releases settle down I'll help get back up to date.

 

It's really sad.

Sony won't allow the Vita to live, and Murphy won't allow The Vita Lounge to live.

Irony.

 

Maybe Murphy == Sony!!!
