Ok, starting a new thread, because I'm a practical optomist. If you don't know what that is, it'll be in a Lumiere story at some point.
Yes, that implies that there will be Lumiere stories.
I called Nick (didn't have his phone number before). Despite what it's looked like as of late, he's VERY excited and adamant about the site. He also wasn't kidding about the BIG PLANS he mentioned...not that we thought he was blowing smoke, but it turns out there's a reason we're being kept in the dark. He can't talk about it at present, which probably means I can't mention what little he was able to tell me. (I don't mention this to tease you or do the "I know something you don't know" peepee dance, I'm saying it to counteract any blargness I imparted on it in a previous post. It's looming on the horizon, and its size is indeed impressive.)
Communication lines are again open. An admin board is in the works. Dave Davis is going to be a proxy updater, which means stories should be arriving soon. He has my respect again. (If this seems sudden and two faced on my part, bear in mind the main problem was feeling like he was ignoring us, which was due to lack of communication and follow through. Talking to him cleared up much of this...gee, imagine that...in a very short time. It may be hard to piss me off, but unlike the cliche, I don't stay mad.)
Said BIG PLANS also ellicited the comment of seeing what an editor is in the future, but he still wants Hastur to do what she's been doing, and to that end, she's going to call him tomorrow if they're both available at the same time.
Nick also has other plans to give the site alot more admin attention. The timing just sucked, and when you combine this with the site having been launced a little early and lack of commincation (which he freely admits was there), it looked like he didn't give a damn...but he really does. Seriously.
