Happy 4th!

It should've been on there already, I don't know why it got disabled. It's back now.

Congrats to all! And a HUGE thank you to @XeNo for all he has done for the community. It's been a real pleasure working with you these last several months, and I wish you the best of luck in the future. As Caution said, I too am very sad to see you go since you have done so much for SG, but take care and stop by when you can.

Welcome back Jager!

Welcome back Drox, see you around Escape sometime

Dood!

psh.. no ;)

I'm changing a few things with it, it will return shortly.

Prez is well past due for a promotion for his work on the MiniGames server, helpful input, participation, and constant interest in improving the community. For several years, he has had a strong dedication to SteamGamers and also served as an Event Coordinator back in 2010. Without further ado, please welcome Prez to his new position of Administrative Officer. His duties will include: Verify that servers are operational Reboot Dead/Lagged servers Manage Player ban appeals Assist in training new admins Handle admin disputes Monitor the TeamSpeak 3 server Grant access rights to TeamSpeak 3 Search for new maps for all servers Upload maps to server and fast downloads site Edit map lists and rotations Issue player perm bans via request from SA's Teach admins how to demo/ban/screenshot proof In the last month, a few of our CAs have decided to step down as well so we've decided to promote somebody large enough to fill all of the vacant spots: R3TROATTACK is moving up to Community Advisor! In all seriousness, his efforts on the DarkRP server have been appreciated and we're giving him the opportunity to help out with some additional responsibilities. His duties include: Advise the higher staff in important decisions Manage Player complaints/bans Give awards to members Moderation of the forum Keep servers clean from rule breakers Issue warnings/kicks/bans Manage the maps played Record demos proof for perm bans Request perm bans via the forum Post in game server problems on forum Help in any way to make the servers fun Congratulations, gentlemen. Let me know if you have any questions about your new roles, and we're looking forward to seeing you guys in action!

GL Potatoes. Been a pleasure working with you. You've done a phenomenal job as an AO (both times ) and we'll miss you up there. Take it easy, and keep in touch.

Just updated it. Good to go!

All members can now play the arcade. Just so you all know, there are issues with most of the games that I'm going to try to fix, but there are at least 5 games that I know work: Asteroids, Space Invaders, Tetris, Snake, and Chopper Challenge. The issue with the other games is mainly scores not getting saved at the end of most games. Just making you aware we are having issues, but we're looking at a fix hopefully soon. We'll let you know.

Thank you for everything Spartan, and good luck in your future. Glad to see you'll still stick around some. Seems like only yesterday you had all neg rep, ahaha Welcome to the President's suite Caution

The BDs/AOs have come together and made a decision to improve our current admin system and open up the opportunity to more members. Here are the changes we have decided to make: Anyone can apply for admin. There is no longer any postcount or rank requirement you need to meet to apply for admin. Even if it's your first day on the forum and you feel that you should have admin on our servers, you may apply and as long as you have no recent bans, no member has anything negative to say about you, and you receive generally positive feedback, you have a good chance of being approved. Applications will stay open for roughly one week, during which time the community members/admins will offer their opinions supporting you, or suggesting a way to improve in order to get their vote next time you apply. You need to have at least 10 votes for your application to be considered for approval, and at least 80% of those votes should be "yes" votes. After you've been given enough votes and/or the 7-day application period is up, a Board of Director (BD) will post Approved, Reapply, or Rejected. If you've been approved, you've gotten enough support from the community and a BD will get in touch with you to get your admin set up. If you were told to reapply, you will be given a reason why your application wasn't approved this time, as well as how to win more votes so you can get approved the next time you apply. If it is your first or second time applying, you will likely be told that you can apply again in 14 days or so. During that reapply period, you should try to get to know more members and admins who can vote yes on your application the next time. If your application was rejected, which happens very rarely with anybody, you will most likely not be eligible to apply again. 95% of the time the outcome of admin applications is either Approved or Reapply so you shouldn't have to worry in most cases. In addition, applications will no longer be sent to the Advisors section. Applications will remain in the public forum for all members to see during the application period and after. If an application has been approved, feel free to post "Congrats" or offer advice as an admin if you wish. For members posting on other admin applications: Keep your posts on topic and polite. Off topic / worthless posts will be deleted. You can vote "yes" if you know the person and think he/she would be a good admin. You can vote "no" if you do not feel this person will be a good admin right now, or if there is something they should improve on before getting admin (e.g. activity, attitude, recent ban, etc). You should provide a reason for your vote. Votes not accompanied with a reason will not count. Some things to keep in mind when voting on others' admin applications: Is this person active in the servers, and can he/she remain active on the forum? Does this person play by the rules, and can he/she enforce them? Does this person have a ban within the last 2 months or so? Does this person get along with other players/members/admins? Do I just not see this person because we always play in different servers? If you have information about someone lying in their application, it's best to PM an AO or a BD so it can be dealt with. These changes will allow more members to become admins without spending months upon months on the forum racking up their postcount to meet a requirement. We're simplifying the process a bit to be more fair to more people and give them a chance to participate in the community as a server admin. Althought postcount isn't a requirement anymore to be an admin, it certainly still helps in the application.

Pretty much. Zriot may be looked into for the future however, depending on how things go.

I'm pleased to announce that Extreme Potatoes will be returning as an Administrative Officer! He did a great job as an AO previously until he had to take a leave of absense for a short time. He has once again found time to contribute to the community so he will be helping us manage our TTT and DarkRP servers. It's good to have you back Potatoes, let me know if you need anything. We would also like to announce that SilentGuns has decided to step down from his AO position, but will still stick around in the community as a RS. We appreciate him for the time and work he's put into the community and we'd like to salute him for all he's contributed as an AO. Give both of these men a round of applause, and please join me in welcoming them to their new ranks and change of color.

Merry Christmas!
