I've been unsuccessfully co-moding Foobonic for a while. However, I now have no time. Therefore, I'm resigning as co-mod and choosing a successor.

Your responsibilities would be, essentially, to upload pics sent to you by fellow Hatrackers, make sure no one runs amok by spamming comments and being generally insulting for no perceivable reason, marking things as inappropriate for those under 18 if it hasn't already been marked, adding new albums for users and assigning privleges, and just keeping things tidy. You get all admin privledges, and the cool thing is you can put your album on the front page, top.

Anyone interested in being my successor, either post here or e-mail me at Antonia.Dodge@gmail.com

I'll choose someone very soon (as I have pics sent to me just sort of waiting in my inbox to be uploaded and don't have time, dagnabit), not entirely arbitrarily but not entirely discriminately, either. You can even tell me why you think you'd be a good mod.

As usual, pandering and bribes always accepted in the Dodge household. Check or money orders only.

When you felt you were doing the job as it needed to be done, how much time (per week, perhaps) would you spend on it? If it's not incredibly time-intensive, I could probably squeeze it into my schedule. Plus it will make me think of you.

Moose - It varies, of course. Sometimes I would spend an hour just organizing and moving stuff aboot. There were times when ten people would send their pics at once. Then, other times, I wouldn't have to think about it at all for a couple of weeks.

If you want it, Moose, it's yours. You would be perfect.

(Thanks for saying that lovely thing about it making you think of me. Look - pandering! It works! [Razz] )

Awwww....we gets no Ralphie lovin'. [Frown]

Thanks for all your efforts on Hatrack's foobonic stuff! [Hat]

Like Papa said, how much time do you think needs to be spent on it? I would probably have time to do it, but before volunteering, I'd like to have a better idea of how much time it takes to do it well. [Smile]
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Oh, man. Lusti would be great, too.

I dinnit think I'd get such great people volunteering, to be honest. I'll probably choose the first person who definitively says, "I'll take it."
 
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
 
Well, since Moose responded first, I think he has first rights. [Smile]

If Papa is unable to squeeze it into his schedule, I can do it. I'm sure I'd have time for an hour a week (but I couldn't commit to an hour a day [Wink] )

If lusti wants it, it's all hers. If she decides she doesn't want the gig, and nobody else is willing or able, I'll offer. But I'm definitely not lobbying for the position -- I'd pander to Ralphie shamelessly for no other reason than she's the shizzle with the rack.

--Pop

P.S. I meant of the 'Rack. Of. Yeah, that's definitely what I meant.

I would take it after the two of them (I have mucho internet time these days), but I'm making some huge changes in my life lately. Namely, getting married and joining the Air Force. I won't have any internet time in a few months.

[Confused] Glynn?
 
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
 
<shrugs> Sorry, I'm just not much for big hatrack threads all about how awesome I am and how cool the next thing I'm doing is.
 
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
 
[Eek!]

[Cool]

You go, girl.

With Ralphie gone, who is going to digitally touch up my pictures to make me look like Tom Cruise? [Cry]
 
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
 
You're in luck, Baren! I'm pretty good with Photoshop (not as good as Glynn but he's all getting married and stuff anyway) [Big Grin]

Oh and Ralphie, "I'll take it"! If I get your job does that mean I get your rack too? Pretty please! [Kiss]

It's good that ludosti desires the torch, since it has been determined that my schedule doesn't afford me enough extra time for this.

--Pop
 
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
 
And Pop wouldn't look as good with Ralphie's rack.
 
Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :
 
It truly is the end of an era.

Lusti, you go girl!

You will be missed in this position Ralphie.

Where does The D send his pics?

The D.
 
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
Yeah, PC doesn't make whole threads like that. He expresses how awesome and superior he is by putting down the conversations of others [Smile] .
 
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
And Zevlag is right, it is the end of an era.

But wait a second...nobody said anything about getting Ralphie's rack with the job! That just casts this thing in a whole new light.
 
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
 
Or a whole new shadow.
 
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
 
So do we still mail stuff to Hatrack at foobonic?
 
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
 
Good question....
 
Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :
 
I want back in the album. [Smile] Does anyone know where I mail my photos to?
 
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
 
I hope it's hatrack@foobonic.com That's where I've sent some that aren't uploaded yet.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Okay, I was simply awaiting a response from Andre.

Lusti - you got it, sweetie-pie. Thank you to the people who volunteered in this thread and via e-mail. Lusti, I'll get you hooked up so that the requests are automatically forwarded to you, and you're on your way. I'll send your e-mail addy to Andre to work it out. I'm using the one in your profile, and I'll have him touch bases with you.

And the good new is, guys, that once Lusti is at the helm, you won't have to wait for stupid, slow Ralphie anymore. [Smile]

Note to the above poster: insults to Ralphie are not taken kindly here. Please retract yours.
 
Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :
 
[Wave] Ralphie. Miss you.

I am the lizard queen!!!

Oh, wait, I'm just a second-rate Ralphie wannabe.... [Big Grin]

We miss you Ralphie. [Cry]

Ludosti, when you get a minute, can you please remove the picture of mine that is entitled "cousins"? Thanks! [Smile]

lusti, plenty of stuff to keep you busy in your inbox. [Smile]
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
FYI - Andre and Lusti are corresponding. The torch is nearly passed. We'll keep you posted.

rivka - The single advantage to being Ralphie is that you can slam Ralphie with impunity.
 
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
 
*sigh*

It's just not the same without you Ralphie. I was going to make a very risque joke about slamming you with impunity but my better judgement is stopping me from doing it.

I need more bad influences in my life.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
As I remember, it used to be me encouraging you to be naughty, and then playfully slapping you on the wrist with my fan when you were especially naughty.

Remember - CyberDan always has impunity.

(And, [Wave] Sandy.)

fan?

*glare* No, no you cannot. I'll impugn you!

*refrains from e-hug* Miss ya. [Smile]
 
Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
 
Shh, Rivka. Shh. Some of us are busy imagining Ralphie slamming Ralphie, with and without impunity.

Aw yeah...

I'm so changing my name to Ralphie.
 
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
 
Hmmm, I would have offered, but I haven't been checking forums recently. I do work 40 hour weeks, but I have a good amount of spare time.

I could put 7 hours a week in this, but ludosti's probably a better choice, seeing as how I would probably "edit" some of the pictures sent in.
[Wink]

picturesque fandom?

picaresque?

picker-risquededness?

Hi, I would like to know how much space is available for each user at foobonics, and how I could set up an account over there.
 
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
 
Ok, I think the torch should complete its passing later tonight (when Andrei gets my login all setup). The email relay has been set up and appears to be functional.

Ralphie - If you've got pics that haven't yet been uploaded, can you just forward them to me (or just send them again to hatrack at foo)? Or shall I have everyone re-email them?

And yes, hatrack at foobonic is where they get sent (to get relayed to me).

Man, these are some serious bra cups to be filling here..... [Wink]
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Eduardo - the last time I checked, Foobonic was not setting up albums for people temporarily. It had grown far too fast, and so Andre put a freeze on it.

However, as a Hatracker, you can submit your pics to be set up in the Hatracker album to be displayed. But you don't get permissions or the ability to edit them. You have to go through the mod. Which is now Lusti. [Smile]

Lusti - I got your e-mail, and I'll send you particulars later.

btw, guys - Lusti is going to be a far better mod than I. I can tell.

[Hail] Amanda

Congrats on receiving the full responsibility.

... and Ralphie, does this mean that since you won't be working so much on Foobonic, you'll be posting more here? [/hopeful]
