It's not Christmas.

[LoverDemon]

Well aware. I had a New Years banner planned well before Christmas.

Just contacting Humbug about it was what delayed things so much, and still somewhat is having trouble with that. Next I speak with him, I'll see if there is a way that I can quicken the process so things like this do not happen again.

[BackupAlt]

Omg learn how to do your job.

[LoverDemon]

Learn to do my job? Considering you don't know how the process and everything works, you have no idea what happens.

I am doing my job, I have contacted him with the situation, him contacting me back is out of my hands, Admins are BUSY people, and can be hard to contact a lot of the time, Humbug is the same way, and he is the only person that I can contact for this, this isn't uncommon, there have been plenty of times where you have to get in touch with him weeks in advanced to get a response, which I did weeks before Christmas, the holidays however got in the way of all of that.

Before you say I need to learn my job, you need to learn the process of communication and how everything can't be done at the snap of a finger and that things do get in the way.

I sent Humbug a PM telling him that you're not doing your job right.

Learning his job? LD is doing all he can. He has been trying to contact Humbug all this month. I should know, since I work with LD on these banners. Humbug is probably a busy guy trying to deal with people who like to whine and complain about everything.

What do you expect LD to do? Go up to William Street to Humbug, and tape it on his forehead?

anyways, relax just a banner, internet isn't serious business bro.

I want the Halloween banner back, because of the cute Ghost Mikado

[Wonderstatement]

I agree.

Nearly a month since Christmas and still the banner not change?

Someone's not doing their job right.

[LoverDemon]

Honestly don't know what the heck you guys expect.

The banner, for those interested, is here.

It is my understanding for anything involving GIF banners, has to be run through Humbug in order to be placed up on the boards, this allows him to look it over, judge whether or not it meets size requirements before it can be placed up onto the board. That is how things work.

GIF banners I reserve specifically for holidays. If this was a normal month, you guys would be getting a normal banner, but I thought, "Hey, why not give them something cool to celebrate the New Year?"

There are things that we are told and things that aren't a lot of times, the reason? Because that's how it goes. If we find an issue we discuss it with Humbug and work it out from there.

I have the power to do a lot, but not without permission from Humbug to do so, if Humbug says no, then it's no, if it's yes, then I go through with it. If I do not get a reply, I don't do anything without his say so, that is apart of my job, it's all about communication, sure I have the power to do so, but I can't touch anything that otherwise is out of my power without his permission.

It is my job, and I firmly feel that it is respectful to do so. I take my job very seriously, to ensure that things go how they must, if I didn't care about the banner I wouldn't have kept everyone updated in the Banner Contest thread and I would have ignored this thread entirely. I am trying to get this straightened out, trying to get Humbug attention to this.

This is a process, things happen, things conflict, once I speak with Humbug I will set up an arrangement so that this doesn't happen again, if possible get his permission so that I don't have to run these gif banners through by him, if he allows it. But for now I will have to wait to discuss this with him. It's not about, this person or that person isn't doing there job, everyone is doing there job, everyone is trying to fix the situation to prevent this from happening, this is not the first time that contacting Humbug has been difficult, there have been plenty of times before this that this has happened, you can ask any helper or any person who has PM'd him for a response it could take anywhere from a week to 2 weeks to get a reply. The guy has a life and a job, can't expect him to wait by the computer screen every single day to moniter every PM that he gets, not everyone can do that, nor should they have to.

tl;dr: It's nobodies fault, Humbug is a busy guy and has always been difficult to get in touch with.

[BackupAlt]

At this rate it'll be February before you get the go ahead for the banner, anyway.

Why not just change it for the time being?

In fact, why haven't you changed it for the time being?

You seem to lack the critical thinking skills required to do your job right.

[LoverDemon]

Talk all you like Bucket, but honestly, you speak like you know everything about the 'job' that you say I know nothing about and am not 'doing right', considering you don't know anything about it other than the classic 'list' of what we do. Changing the banner might be part of our job, but we do have the choice to change the banner if we wish to do so, it is up to us if we want to, at the same time it's up to us if we wish to have banner contests, which is why Bleach has banners changed when the helpers feel that it is best to do so.

Just be glad that I'm actually taking the time to changing the banner period.

[EYEBREEL]

Trolls are so sexy... Makes me wanna rip 'em apart.  Literally.

[BackupAlt]

I got LoverDemon to get off his lazy a** and change the banner.

Tell me how that's a bad thing.

[stardust_whispers]

LD isn't lazy at all. Done a fine job with these boards. The banner has to be okayed by Humbug.

Be glad we can have banners at all.

[BackupAlt]

Actually, if you read LoverDemons thread, he says they don't have to anymore.

All I did was get LoverDemon to be a little more proactive.
