The Hive's Staff

[Meatmuffin]

I'm really glad Flux has been added as a reviewer, I had a smidge that that was gonna happen.

 

[fladdermasken]

Added Rufus as a Map Reviewer.

Welcome to the team!

 

[Roland]

Huzzah!

 

[Daffa]

That's a nice change for map section

 

[Moy]

They (Map and Model Reviewers) did a pretty amazing job on clearing their respective sections. Great job guys! <3

Staff Updates (May25)

BPower has resigned from the staff.

 

[Roland]

Knock Knock, Shar Dundred is now a Starcraft II Reviewer, Can someone update the thread? :3

 

[SeedinAethyr]

Hive Workshop, http://www.hiveworkshop.com/members/hive-workshop.253529/, is now an Administrator.

 

[Ralle]

LOL, don't add him to the staff. He's just a suit with no arms and legs .

 

[Moy]

I think that was made for the rules and others, to make it more a little bit organized. XD

 

[Archian]

We made this user, because there were some former staff sticikies around the forum boards made by inactive members who's no longer on the staff. We couldn't have such sticikies, made by former staff members who's inactive, around as people tend to ask questions in private messages to the creators of such posts and because the person who originally made the sticky no longer speaks for the staff. It created some confusion.

 

[IcemanBo]

Good decission!

 

[fladdermasken]

The user Hive Workshop is a lie. The fruits of his tree are sweet, but the seeds are coated with poison.

No life breathes beneath his mask.

 

[KILLCIDE]

The fruits of his tree are sweet, but the seeds are coated with poison.

Does this tree bear oranges that is not worth peeling?

 

[fladdermasken]

Does this tree bear oranges that is not worth peeling?

If it's not worth peeling, it's not an orange.

 

[Almia]

the tree bears durian which is worth slicing.

 

[KILLCIDE]

I can already smell the fruit just by looking at the word *gag*

 

[fladdermasken]

Staff Updates (July 12)

Shar Dundred has been promoted to StarCraft Moderator. He'll moderate the StarCraft forums and resources.

We have also hired KILLCIDE to help out as a Code Moderator.

Give them your best, plebians.

Green news, everyone.

Mr.Goblin has joined the ranks and will be moderating Art and Graphic Designs.

 

[Almia]

ahhh nice

Good luck KILLCIDE

 

[Heinvers]

You forgot to add Shar Dundred at Who to Contact tab, Starcraft Related part.

 

[fladdermasken]

You forgot to add Shar Dundred at Who to Contact tab, Starcraft Related part.

Don't feel like playing around with graphics, so I'll fix that later. There's a disclaimer that not all staff are part of the Who to Contact list anyways.

 

[fladdermasken]

Staff Updates (July 26)

Maker has resigned from moderator duties. Squiggles was also demoted becuase of inactivity.

Good night, sweet princes.

Heinvers has also been promoted to 2D Art Moderator. Best of luck in not screwing it up completely.

 

[fladdermasken]

Staff Updates (August 16)

Shadow Fury, Shar Dundred, Apheraz Lucent, and looking_for_help have resigned. Thanks for helping the site out, guys.

We have also promoted Rufus to Map Moderator. Good luck with the new gig.

 

[fladdermasken]

Staff Updates (September 5)

BlinkBoy has resigned after long dedicated years of service. Has been awarded with a Medal of Honor for his massive contributions to the scene.

MindWorX has joined the staff as a Tool Moderator.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Sad news, but life goes on, and so do people.

 

[deepstrasz]

The first post needs to be properly updated/edited.

 

[Heinvers]

HT's recruitment date is missing(again). Should be 2012 IIRC.
IcemanBo is once again a code moderator.

Reviewer's tab needs an update as well:

• Jesus Hipster - model reviewer
• Kino - map reviewer
• ~Nightmare - no longer an active reviewer
  
• Pyrogasm - spell reviewer

I also do have chat powers, that part should be updated along with much of the first post's formatting and information.

What's the point in picking up SC2 modding if there's no moderator (my work wouldn't be evaluated by officially approved authority, also who'd approve stuff).

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Just because something isn't there momentarily, doesn't mean it should be fully abandoned and recycled.
Or if you're into cliches, patience is a virtue.

 

[Dr Super Good]

What's the point in picking up SC2 modding if there's no moderator (my work wouldn't be evaluated by officially approved authority, also who'd approve stuff).

BattleNet is used as the primary distribution platform. Hence products such as maps or assets do not require moderator approval.

All your custom assets could be uploaded to BattleNet as a mod which people can then use in their own maps/mods.

 

[Heinvers]

What's the point in picking up SC2 modding if there's no moderator (my work wouldn't be evaluated by officially approved authority, also who'd approve stuff).

Currently, we haven't got the required sc2 forum related activity to justify one. E.g. we don't have that traffic for it as sc2mapster has.
We still need something for it to drive activity there and not just end up completely dead. Maybe in time it will require a moderator for it.

Still, it's not bad either to keep the section in case people need it or would show more interest in the future.

 

[Shar Dundred]

While the others have already said everything that needs
to be said about this, I'd like to add that we have competent
users like @Dr Super Good who help people with questions
and problems posted in the SC section.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Updated StoPCampinGn00b's title from Ambassador to Community Manager. Rank changed from moderator to admintrator.

- PROXY (models)
- JesusHipster (models)
- IcemanBo (spells)
- Pyrogasm (spells)
- AGD (JASS)

Reviewers Removed:

- Kino (maps)


~Thread is now up to date. Thank you for serving, ~Nightmare and Kino. Welcome, new reviewers!

 

[deepstrasz]

~Thread is now up to date.

What about VGsatomi? He hasn't logged for more than a year.

 

[Shar Dundred]

He will always be the Hive's pioneer, no matter how active or inactive he is.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Some people have earned a permanent rank by doing this or that, hence the permanent admin stat.
For activity, that's why his activity is marked with a question mark. Like many others, he comes and goes on most random cycles.

edit: Red bested me to the answer but yeah.

 

[deepstrasz]

Some people have earned a permanent rank by doing this or that, hence the permanent admin stat.

I thought that's what the Former Staff Member and Merit Badge awards were for...

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Merit Badge was a one-time idea that didn't quite work out as intended, and is therefore discontinued.

Former Staff Member awards are, as name suggests, given to former staff members. Even with his periods of inactivity, VGSatomy is still a permanent addition to the Hive's council.

 

[IcemanBo]

My primary task is jass, not spells. :}

 

[fladdermasken]

He will always be the Hive's pioneer, no matter how active or inactive he is.

Just to clarify, he is not actually a Hive pioneer. I don't know who put those titles up, but they're inaccurate. e.g. Ghan didn't even join the site until 08.

VGsatomi was the head admin at wc3search when they merged with this site in 07. He's as oldfag as oldfag goes, but he didn't pioneer the Hive in any way.

 

[IcemanBo]

Rufus's realm is probably not Spells & Tutorials.

 

[deepstrasz]

Rufus's realm is probably not Spells & Tutorials.

Yeah. It's easy to find out for everybody... just click their names in that list and look into the Information tab for the Staff Position....

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Thanks for pointing it out. Fixed.

 

[Flux]

Judging from IcemanBo's recent activities, I think adding "Tutorials" to his responsibilities make sense.

 

[Footman16]

I feel like Rufus does an excellent job of moderating the maps section however I feel it's a job best suited for 2 people or more just with the volume of work it entails, or if it could be split into smaller jobs like Melee Map Moderator, Campaign Moderator, Custom Map Moderator etc if at all possible to ensure the pending section doesn't get out of hand.

Obviously this requires that people accept the task but I feel like it's something that perhaps should be looked into and offered to people who we feel would be willing to accept such positions.
