8/4 Is it just me or is the current Politburo a bunch of unresponsive
monkeys? Turned off kchang, have not been responsive to creating
and official motd repository, do not answer email to root etc.
\_ If the day ever comes when the CSUA Poliburo are not jackasses
you'll know: that will be the day they stop calling it the
"Politburo."
\_ How about this proposal: ask kchang to donate a license of his
archive program to CSUA, which houses it on its own site. (Or
maybe he can donate the source code to all of us sodans.) This way
everybody will be happy. Also, in time of crisis, the poliburo
can still exert emergency power and keep motd from being world
readable like 3 years ago to protect the organization.
\_ Um. Why should he? The CSUA got him squished twice already.
As for '3 years ago' the organization did not need protecting.
The then president's gf complained about feeling 'threatened' and
he squished the motd. As if that made said gf feel any safer...
\_ What eventually happened to her? Gang banged?
\_ afaik, no email to root has gone unanswered. if you think we've not
responded to either an email to root or a request in that email, feel
free to email me personally. -erikk
\_ why did they turn off kchang?
\_ It was overheating. -John
\_ It's still the summer. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
\_ First of all, no one except the old boys cares about the motd.
Secondly, it is evil. It has been the focal point of many
squishage and controversies (kchang writing a script to
modify it, paolo abusing his power to render it completely
useless, emarkp using an auto script to take out profanity,
tom partially nuking threads that make him look
like a moron, ilyas using a script to taking out active but
old threads, twinks cursing at each other for not using
motdedit, asswipes writing politically incorrect statements
and really REALLY offensive remarks on the Jews and
minorities, blah blah blah the list goes on and on.
Now imagine this. If there were no motd.public, then
there would not exist any controversy. Therefore, I propose
that the public motd be shut down for good. It's a bad
tradition to keep and it needs to go. Thank you.
\_ it is, and always has been, the only point of the CSUA.
fuck off. |
