Ask and you shall receive; there are now 4 Ares web boards:
Ares Briefing Room -- post questions about Ares here (tactics, technical questions, etc.)
Ares Officer's Lounge -- this is where the dignified officers kick back with a cool drink and chat with their fellow pilots and wingmen about Ares, life, and love
Ares Trash Talk -- This is an unmoderated board; all seriously off-topic posts will be moved here, and if you want to talk trash about someone, here's the place to do it. Try not to let it get too out of hand...
Ares Engineering Dept. -- This is for people who are working on add-ons to Ares, such as new missions, plugins, etc. This will become especially important after Hera is released (Hera is a GUI editor for creating Ares missions/plugins).
Enjoy the boards -- oh, and I'd like recommendations of who from the Ares community we should promote to Overlord status to help moderate these boards. It should be someone who's around fairly often, and is level-headed. Post here if you have any recommendations.
We also have some other cool new stuff on tap for you folks... I think you'll really like some of the changes we'll be rolling out over the next few months. I'll keep y'all updated...

I would respectfully suggest Vegeta and Aithon as board administrators.
Flattery isn't my forte, so I won't spend time lauding either of their praises.

I agree with Pax's nominations, and also think Pax should be nominated.
I personally would also like to help moderate the boards.
I think Pax and Fleet Admiral Darkk would be good moderators. I also think Boba Fett would be a good moderator because he has no life and checks the web board thirty times per day.

hehe -- well, we'll need admins for a few things on the new boards, so it's great to get a few good nominations. I trust no one who was nominated would object to being signed on?
I'm more inclined to lean towards nominating axis members, mainly because they (sometimes) maintain another ares website. Pax and Veg would make excellent nominees for moderators. Ideally you don't want someone who's easily angered.

So, when will andrew choose our Overloards? It seems that everyone voted for Vegeta (Including myself!). I hope, and think that Vegeta will be an Overloard; He would be the best choice if we could only have one of them. Fleet Admiral Darkk would be very good, too! I also think that I would be an excellent choice, since I'm not easily angered by any means. And even when I seldom to get mad, it's light, and over quickly. Pax would also be a great choice! Can I get any backing up here?
I second Boba Fetts nomination for himself, he really rules and is the coolest guy in the world and is the sexiest guy in the world and all the girls like him and his posts are funny and he always posts at least 3-4 messages per day. I also think having an axis member for an overlord would be a good idea (but when will you guys update the page?).
Yes, the Axis hasn't been updated for like, what was it? A month? Oh, ya! Since before christmas! Update it!
Hey, I updated it yesterday!
Its not MY fault that no one submits stuff.
I wouldn't vote for someone who spammed to get to veteren stauts.
------------------ ~(^..^)
I wouldn't vote for any of the people who spammed (Dennis... i don't really know who else...)
Darkk spammed, along with many others... Soldier of Binki has been spamming a lot lately!
I'd love to be nominated, but I have BPD and would ban too many people for minor offences. :frown:

I wouldn't ban people for minor offences! In fact, I would barly do any banning at all, unless it is absoulutly nescerry! (And beileve me, I know what is) I think I would make a great Overloard! Back me up, people!
It's true, I get mad when there's someone particularly dense. You'll notice, however, that when a dozen gentle or semi-gentle reminders didn't seem to stop Rebel, the really torching flames made him realize how annoying his posts on already-discussed topics were. He has since changed his name and now really adds something to the board.
(heh... the politics of admin nominating roll on)

Rebel is not on the board. I know that. He hates us all, he hates Ares, and his life is R6. He told me on GR. He isn't on this board with a changed name. Who do you thnik he is?
Whoops... I thought he had changed his name to Admiral Sargatanus. Well, that's the point of changing your identity, after all...
It might not be as good as reformation, but still, Rebel is off the board... and I frankly think everyone can be happy with that.
