These questions are for Ross (or anyone that knows the answer).
Is there a VF headquarters or is it just your house? also, are you the only Admin, or are there "behind The Scenes Admins?"
This is for all staff members.
How long have you been staff for VF?
How long have you been staff for VF?
I was modded on the 9th January. Ross made a GT thread saying he'd broken my profile
Did you belive he broke it, or did you know that you had been modded on purpose?

It came out of the blue - the thread cropped up and i noticed i had green stars, but didn't have any mod powers at the time, so i was a bit confusedA quick PM and i managed to work it out
After this question i'll wait for the other staff to post there answers and wait for other members to ask.
Ross-Can you maybe upload the other premade skins to this forum, so we have more of a selection?
@ DLG: The winner of the competition was the one who got his/her skin featured on the forum. It would defeat the purpose of having won the competition.
All the staff: Is Wrighty really a noob?
Is there a VF headquarters or is it just your house?
Depend on what you mean by "HQ"?
are you the only Admin, or are there "behind The Scenes Admins?"
I'm the only "admin" at this time. However other people have done behind the scenes work in terms of software development or other vF related issues.
Can you maybe upload the other premade skins to this forum, so we have more of a selection?
Eventually I might get around to adding one of the other skins on here to give more variety.
Is Wrighty really a noob?
Only sometimes
@ DLG: The winner of the competition was the one who got his/her skin featured on the forum. It would defeat the purpose of having won the competition.
The actual prizes were having your skin made a default skin avaliable for all forums to use. I only added slips on here as I wanted something more stylish than the old one
I mean like a base of operations, where all meetings take place, like a military base in a way.Depend on what you mean by "HQ"?
(sorry, i'm not sure how to describe it)

Ross made a congrats thread on February 14th. So its a about 1 month.
Is Wrighty really a noob?
Yes, a noob that pwns at coding.
@Ross
Why make a free hosting message board service?
Ross-Wat inspired you to make VF? or were you bored and decided to test your limits? Do you regret makng VForums at all?

How long have I been staff? I don't know the exact date; I didn't even notice I had been modded until I had been browsing the forum for about 10 minutes and noticed I had a "congrats" PM.
*Goes to find PM*
*Find PM*
December 30th, 2007...so that's just under three months.

No.
Well, there's your answer!
All the staff: Is Wrighty really a noob?
A n00b that knows where the ban hammer is!
Pah, you don't have a ban hammer...a "warn" hammer, but not a ban hammer
For the record, Wrighty's a noob sometimes, only during the mods late night chats on MSN where Marc and i pwn him
How long have you been staff for VF?

Feel special.
For Marc:How long are you going to keep the "look in sig" text by your name?
Twelve years.
To be honest, I don't know. Until I feel like changing it, I suppose.

Wrighty: What is life like being called a noob constantly? How many times has Graham, and Marc pwned you? And how?
To answer the second and third question, we've pwnd him numerous times; I believe there is currently a supercomputer in a government building hidden underground at the moment which is struggling to keep up with it; it's expected to explode within the next two days.
As for how we pwn him; if we gave that away then everyone else would be pwning him too, and that we can't have.
To all staff:Does anyone outside the computer such as friends, family, ETC, know your a VF mod? do they care? do you ever have a stranger run up to you and say "aren't you blank, VF mod?" (it may be 2 early for that)
Only one of my friends that I know of are into message boards, so yeah, only he knows.
As for your stranger question, no.

Actually, I never get called a n00b. My alter-ego does. I'm merely Ross in disguise!
They think they pwn me, I just then tell them I'm a n00b coder, and they agree!
They just prod me!

Family Guy FTW!
What something else would you call it?
it's 'v'forums not, virtual forums!
Anyway, virtual as in 'not real' as you never get to download it I guess, something like that anyway. Ask Ross!
To Any Staff: What is your favorite TV show?
To anyone that knows the answer: Why was it decided to name this place Virtual Forums? Why not something else?
Favourite Show: Family Guy
Why "Virtual Forums" ? Cause it can be.

1) People asking to be staff
2 + 3 = no
Well, I have two main stresses about being a mod.
For one, as Wrighty said, people asking to be staff. I get asked at least three times daily either "What are my chances of being staff?" or "Would you recommend me as staff?"
Tied for first with that is knowing what to do in certain situations. This is a support forum that sets an example for an entire service, and even the slightest mistake could negatively impact how all of vForums is viewed.
As for 2 & 3, not really. Would I still be active today had I never been promoted? Most likely, yes. Would I be as active? Probably not, but I would still be on every day.
To all staff:Does anyone outside the computer such as friends, family, ETC, know your a VF mod? do they care? do you ever have a stranger run up to you and say "aren't you blank, VF mod?" (it may be 2 early for that)
The only person that knows for me is my girlfriend, as i occasionally have to call her back, or quickly nab her laptop when i'm with her to check on things.
To Any Staff: What is your favorite TV show?
To anyone that knows the answer: Why was it decided to name this place Virtual Forums? Why not something else?
My favourite show changes, but it's mainly comedies like Family Guy, Scrubs, Teachers, Spaced, Green Wing, Red Dwarf etc.
As for the name, it was Ross that thought of it so only he can give the definitive answer
To all staff:Wats the most stressful part about being mod of a compny like this? Have you ever regretted being mod? If you could, would you go back as a member?
I think it's keeping a close eye on everything that goes on. We're fortunate that there's a strong mod team here and pretty much everything is discussed before a decision is made. As Marc said, it's the "spur of the moment" decision that are the hardest, and normally we poke each other via text or MSN etc to consult each other.
I've not once so far regretted being a mod - it's a wonderful opportunity to be a staff member at a fast growing forum service and while there are times you wish you could cut the reins and go nuts, we still manage to have fun and enjoy ourselves while getting the job done in a professional way.

I think giving that choice to individual admins is best. I know that a couple of formats don't get used much though so I'll either try to come up with some layouts which better incorporate them or scrap them altogether.
This question goes to Ross:Will you ever hire more Admins?
At some point in the future it may be necessary to have other people deal with either support, development or general administration duties. It won't necessarily be an existing member though depending on the requirements at the time.
To all Mods:Do you enjoy being green, or do you wish you were a different color?

As I said, it doesn't matter to me.
If I was ever asked if I wanted another colour I'd choose it, but otherwise whatever I have is fine.
To all Mods:Do you enjoy being green, or do you wish you were a different color?
Indeed, green pwns! Though 4AD77B would be better!
To all Mods:Do you enjoy being green, or do you wish you were a different color?

We should be allowed to choose our own colours for each of us.
If you could implement one vForums feature, even if not possible at this time, what would it be?
This goes to Blanka and Slip:I don't mean any offense, but both of you seem to be the least active of the staff, does this bother you at all? do you wish you were more active?
DLG, someone has to be the least active =/ Plus they can't go in depth with support, coding, etc. which are all prime places for the other staff to post ( Except Graham, but he has the General board which is generally pretty active. )
To Slip: Your staff on pretty much every forum I've seen you on.. doesn't it get a little hectic trying to take care of them?
No offense Anarch, but why are you answering my question? it was addressed to Slip and Blanka.
to Ross:Have you ever considered pulling a prank/joke on the members, such as changing your Admin color to blue to blend in, or to make 2 of the same board, or just some kind of prank/Joke?
DLG, he hasn't answered your question, just given his view on it
Plus they can't go in depth with support, coding, etc. which are all prime places for the other staff to post ( Except Graham, but he has the General board which is generally pretty active. )
Fortunately, the way us staff work is that we help out wherever is needed - yeah, we have our own particular places to mod but we'll all scan each area and add threads/posts/replies where needed. We've got each other's backs which i feel works well
This goes to Blanka and Slip:I don't mean any offense, but both of you seem to be the least active of the staff, does this bother you at all? do you wish you were more active?

Dreggie was first person i seen had added it. Anyway

My feelings on having set versions is that they waste time. Provided the code is written in a sensible, efficient manner then there shouldn't be any need to rewrite it all at once. Instead I'm rewriting it in small sections which means you get the new features like in a new version but you don't get the long wait. The only time I can think there will be a need to do a version 2 would be if the core layout was majorly changed; but until all browsers start to agree on some standards that isn't really feasible.

I recall Ross saying that there will not be a 'complete rewrite' any time soon (probably for a very long while) as the system is built to use 'addons' which constitute new features.
Anyway, something like that!
Ross beated me!

This goes to Blanka and Slip:I don't mean any offense, but both of you seem to be the least active of the staff, does this bother you at all? do you wish you were more active?
No frankly it doesn't bother me at all that I don't have 2000 posts within a month of joining.
As of now, the graphics area of this support board is not really the primary focus and isn't meant to be. Forum support and coding are. Consequently, staff members that are directly involved in that are more active.
Aside from that, yea I do plan on getting more active as soon as I can. This is just the beginning. VForums is gonna be getting really big really soon.
To Slip: Your staff on pretty much every forum I've seen you on.. doesn't it get a little hectic trying to take care of them?

Just to add to what's been said, all the staff do plenty of behind-the-scenes work. Almost every change, even small, is discussed by staff and everyone contributes to both brainstorming ideas for the situation as well as helping make the change happen; thousands of posts or not.

You should make it templating tho *winks* and there were plans you even were gonna add the templating system for board mods! Sides IC, Mini Proifle and Main Profile are the sexiest to have templeting on, lots of advantages.

Ross: How do you go about making a Forum, And its Servers?
I know this was directed at Ross, but this is a pretty general question so I'll give it a go. Ross can still reply if he pleases.
vForums is coded in PHP. First he coded a base which allowed for modules to easily be added on. From there he went ahead and did the posting systems, private messaging systems, etc. After he had it done for the most part, he opened it up and got to coding a few hundred suggestions into the software, which is an ongoing battle, so to speak.
As for the servers, vForums is hosted by Big Wet Fish. Currently it operates on two servers; one for mail functions, the other for the forums.
I see. i totally don't and wouldn't understand if I were to maker one, But thanks
Anyone that isn't an Adminstrator: Why do you think you were the "chosen" ones to be made Moderators, Or others? Was it because you were talented in something or another?

Anyone that isn't an Adminstrator: Why do you think you were the "chosen" ones to be made Moderators, Or others? Was it because you were talented in something or another?
So anyone that isn't Ross?
I think it's because I was contributing quite well to the forum. I offered lots of coding support, and also regular support. As well as suggesting new things and reporting bugs. I guess my lack of talent as a coder got me somewhere.
But as all the other staff will say. I'm the n00b of the team. You gotsta have a n00b!

Is ross the only one who works on the coding and server/stuff of VF?
Yes and no for both questions. In terms of the forum software itself I'm the only person who does work directly to it. Having said that, someone else is writing a new feature which we will implement into the software together. As for the server, most of that is handled by the hosting company.

They do this on some forums..
Are you going to ever delete members that don't post?

No, what would be the point? The members may return.
If this forum ever got to the stage where either the member count or # of old topics were causing problems then old records could be removed. I don't see there ever being a real need for that though.
Some people just say there won't be too many members with 0 posts on it.
vFS only has a total of 38 members with 0 posts. =)
Some may be test accounts though!
Wow, that's a lot of 0's for one forum. But there are a lot of people with over 50 posts still.
How old is vForums?
Actually compared to other forum services support forums they have many more members that have 0 posts. Just the people who want to codes or what ever and then leave.
To Ross: Do you think you'll ever have meet ups like other support forums of forum services do?
Umm wondering this can be answered by any staff, but what would you say would be the best place to advertise?

I think we would. However, as for it to be official an admin will have to attend. I don't see there being many official US/Non-UK ones

Signature. On any and every forum!
Also, put it in the directory if it's a vF Forum!

For that I suggest you Google: 'Reviews of Website Promoter Professional' See if you get anything!
i tried that but nothing comes up, thats why i asked because maybe a staff member here had heard of it

I'm going on vacation to London for two weeks next March, and am already planning a staff meetup; maybe we'll spend one day for a staff meetup then another official entire forum meetup.

Can moderators see invisible users or only administrators?

Depends. Is someone invisible when it displays: (Invisible) next to their name?
If so, yes. If not, yes!
Can you see me online right now?

Wherever it is allowed I suppose

It's 97% done, so you'll know soon enough.
ah i haven't asked until now but its driving me nuts ah well i guess i have to wait...my heads going to explode wondering what the hell it could be.
It is very smexi, we've all helped out with bits and bobs (mainly testing etc) and while it's been infuriating at times, it's soooooo fantastic

Stupid project. It'll be cool when it's released. For now though, it's called Alpha12351234262-2340236234 ok? That's its production name! ^_^

Hey, no.
*Just made up sexy code name for it*
But yes, Project DarkHawk is just about complete.
I'm testing it at the moment!
so give or take how much longer for this and the AI (or is ir IA) systems to do done? I know there both in the testing stages now.

API?
Well this one I think is nearly done. But you have to wait for Marcy to talk about that. As for the API - No idea.. I haven't been involved in the testing of that so I wouldn't know! :_)/
ah ok, its just that i need at API system to complete the full setup of my website

Project DarkHawk will [hopefully] be complete by the end of today, and if not, for sure by the end of the week.
For the API, I've been testing it whilst using it to develop a new site at work. Off the top of my head, I think there's only one missing feature and one known bug. Once they're done and I've sorted out cross-domain logins (at least for users with their own domain name) and I've finished the documentation it'll be ready to go into full open Beta.
Marc has his own rank now
Yes he does!
Is it the highest rank ?
No. Administrator is the highest Rank
Nope. It's his rank, and no one elses!
