    I have noticed this forum was sorely lacking a place where we can focus on the truly important matters on PO. This is the thread where you can bitch and moan make well reasoned complaints unhindered by most of the stupid rules the "normal" forums use. Now you can demand anything, and be sure to tag a high ranking authority member before you post your demands!

    Also, when tagging Professor Oak, make sure you have your demands ready in list form. This is very important as he is conditioned to read them in this fashion.

    allow me to pull art out of my arse for you

    serious answer: go post in it and try and draw people in, perhaps helping out others in their threads, might lead to others doing the same

    no lead signature, no proclamation of independence, same shit, different day

    serious answer: you just got tiering admin, and Moogle isn't from Saudi Arabia.

    If my demands aren't met in full, I and many other (unnamed for their privacy) users will walk out of PO.

    We've also got nixeagle, Lamperi, Mystra, Viderizer, Moogle and everyone else helping us to code the best client in the world! PS will be outdated in 2 days!!!

    I know the post was a joke, but SERIOUS ANSWER TIME.

    We'd need to either:
    a) get the channel back from Eternal, something we've been trying to do for 2-3 years; or
    b) start a brand new channel from scratch

    In either case, we're struggling for activity in various areas. As a result, we've tried to keep our focus on the projects that we feel deserve the most attention to at least maintain PO as is: Tiering, Tournaments and Social Media (and Projects is included with Social Media). With each of these still struggling to regain traction, I'd rather not divert attention away from them by adding in a big, new project like YouTube.

    That goes doubly if we have to start again. Just over 5000 subs actually takes a long-ass time to get, and we'd have a significantly lower reach if we start again. As someone who has been looking into starting streaming or YouTube for years, the lower your sub count, the slower it increases, and I doubt we'd be able to reach 5000 subs again.

    Also, you need to remember just how long it takes to make a YouTube video. Sure, recording the footage can be pretty easy (if everything goes well), but you've got to think about commentary, art, social media, editing and other parts, and if it's a multi-person project, it takes even more time and effort to organise a single video than you might think it does. Of course, that's just assuming that everything goes well: corrupted footage, corrupted commentary, audio desync, lazy people not doing what you require of them, editing software errors, computer crashes...

    It's just not worth it in our current situation, in my opinion. This could change in the future, but I doubt it.

    Also replay viewer and webclient suck, but I can't really comment on either of those/

    But Social Media needs more people. Start recruiting? y/y

    Upvoting this because Victini was originally the banner for Channel Leaders, then Tier Leaders stole from us.

    and have even more people just sit on their arse and do nothing? What's the point?

    Considering that handling the social media involves passwords and personal information, and that it can greatly affect our image in the eyes of others in both a positive or negative manner, I'd rather we only had social media folks that are pretty damn trustworthy. That's why almost all social media reps have been notable members of staff prior to earning the position, with you being the only exception.

    If you can find someone who wants to do it who I can deem as trustworthy enough to handle the position, then I'll add them. Otherwise, we're gonna have to make do with what we've got.

    on a real note, I have 3.5k followers on ig, 2k on unnamed media, 8k on an unspoken media, 3k on fb and have owned a 30k troll group. i would like to assist with the media.
    maybe it will help get more recognition for po in general. and even a little is a big improvement.

    That works for me, though I'd wait for Oak to have a say to this. I see AO on FB often, and having him would be fun imo.

    Another person who had interest in smedia was @Jethalal . IDK whether he's still interested so tagging.

    The better question is why are people not tagging authority members? I mean ffs follow directions guys, geez.

    @Professor Oak I demand that you enforce this very clear rule of the thread. Absolutely no one has followed it. This is very serious business.

    It's like everyone left their serious pants at home just because it's Lake of Rage.

    is it debatable whether or not giving joeypals power was worse than giving trump power?

    Bring back private channel tournaments!!!!!
    Yeah I was seriously asked about it to bring it back, so why not?
    If you fear that push thing will be potentially abusive, just inactivate it.
