Changes

Hello everyone,

First off, we want to say thanks to the following members:
- PurplePoot
- Kimberly
- Ash
Due to varying reasons, they have stepped down from the Hive staff recently. Much thanks to each of them for their hard work and time spent moderating the Hive. Expect to see them around the forums and chat still.

Also, we are planning a number of significant changes to the site and resource sections over the next few months. Stay tuned. Some changes will occur this week.

Finally, if you have any suggestions or criticisms of how things are going please post them in the Admin Contact forum, or send them to the staff in a Private Message. This will help us deal with them directly and more effectively. Please do not post such things around the forum.

Thank you!
// Samuraid

As some of you may have noticed, new features in the Resource Section include the following:

  • Reviewed status for pending resources which have been reviewed by a moderator at least once.
  • Moderators and mini moderators can now see the moderator review on the general resource page.
And you may just see some more in the next few weeks.



Other general site/community changes have happened as well
  • New challenge layout and rules have been stickied in the Arena.
  • When someone enters your name in chat the area behind that message will be lit up to notify the reader that someone is talking to you.

You, by the looks of it.

You know the Hive's in trouble when we don't have any better-qualified candidates.

Not sure that was necessary...

Anyway, I think that the hive won't die. It's too good of a site for that. We just need to shift away from drama and user/moderator rage and back to what the actual point of the site is, modding. I also think that part of the reason this site has shifted away from modding WC3 is that WC3 is starting to die as well, but I believe the Hive will come back when SC2 comes out.

There is still hope!

Funny how you say that when comments like these are what make The Hive not as good as it could be.

I'll miss Poot =( I thought he was the best moderator ever!

I think it might be a good also, not just bad. The old hive staff have not done anything great in last one year(no offense, please don't start to spam). I hope now Hive will have new leaders that are positive and have lot of energy to do a lot of new changes.

Hmm, I'm thinking if I should join to this group too.

Will PurplePoot (and possibly Kimberly considering how long they've both been on staff for) get a Respected User thingy?

Being ex-staff does not automaticly result in becoming a respected user, being liked by Ralle does :P

So Poot should most likely become a respected user.
