OK I looked around the FAQ and could not find out, who is in charge of news around here?

NightViper is the site's News Manager. Check the "Moderating Team" link at the bottom of the main forum index and everyone's staff position is listed in their profile when you click their name. Or, it's right there

Wayyyy better than the last guy...

Regarding the news and the front page, out of curiosity, is it possible for the Allspark's front page to have a uniform policy on links for stories? Like, if I click on a story/news link, I expect it to open a new window or tab because 9 and a half times out of 10, all of the other links on the front page for stories and news do that ... except for Fwiffo's bits that are direct links. It's just ... annoying, I guess. I mean, nothing against the guy, just those posts, that's all.

Okay, I take that back, annoying probably isn't the right word and is also probably too strong. Bothersome? Odd? Something like that and along those lines. Anyways, sorry, had to get that off of my chest. Thanks.

There is a setting that they can manually choose when posting the story. Fwiff probably forgot to check that.

Heck, I didn't train him. Did anyone actually train him, now that I think about it? I think I had to put it off and he just started posting news on his own.

I'm going back to my original assertion, this is Bush's fault.

ChessPieceFace gave me a quick rundown, but I guess I wasn't properly trained...

So, is there a red button that I'm supposed to not push? Cause I think I pushed it.
NightViper
That's the button that makes the Allspark taste like oak. But it only works on .005% of the population.

Then they go crazy and start eating people.

Well that explains why I had problems getting on this site for about a month awhile back. icon-fire.gif

However, the idea of the Nuclear Vikings delivering Allspark news is a hilarious one to me.

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about news. It seems like so much responsibility!
