AO System's Committee

I was Just Wondering, Would it be a good Idea to form a Committee, a team of Seniors (aprox 10) that JP Trusted, and give them Accsess to change and edit the website to conform to requests and complaints by users, of course, there would ahve to be a vote on all things to maintain the right balance of good functions and avoid stupid one's.
Using sutch a system would take some load of JP and would speed up the time for bug fixes and also the quality, not saying that things are bad not, coz they arn't but one thing I have learned in computing is that perfection is never reatched...
I think this would be a good Idea, any feed back would be good....

I also have some other ideas:
* User Pref's and Skins (Standardized and Special for Seniors)
* AO messanger
* AO File section Arciver (to keep thing in the right place)
* Several changes and astetic modz to the AO point system
* Different ways of Viewing Posts (Standardized on the server)
* Post and Forum filter (For those who don't want to read some of them)

Let me know what you think...it may seem like I'm moaning, but I just wanna make this site truly as good as it can be.....

...Just a suggestion...

:D :D :D

I think its a bad idea. I like things the way they are. I think JP is pretty objective.

Just came up with this one:
* Moderators can makr a post :Flame post, which can then be filterd out if a pearson wants it to.

True, he's doind a good job, but I feel that this site could grow so MUTCH more, and has so mutch to offer...
but it's not up to me.

If I had a site as extensive as this, I would not want people messing with the code.

I'm sure JP has his own designers at the office that probably take care of this. Also accidents do happen when it comes to coding, and it would be ashamed if someone broke part of this site.

I know if this was my site, and if something broke, I would want it to at least be my error, not someone elses.

Just my two-cents.

That is true, so why not make backup's and run offline tests?
and offcourse, new code would have to b confirmed by JP first.
that way, everybody wins. :D

I agree I think JP is doing a good enuff job on his own. And if you have any issues with the way things are around then you can allways ask jp about them. He is fairly reponsive in chat.

I know that each forum has their own moderator to take care of the threads there-in, so that would be who you would go to with a specific complaint about a forum I would think. And also, somewhere in another thread here, they specifically addressed the issue of an AO instant message service....I think the prevailing opinion on that was that there are enough other ones available, they don't feel it neccesary here. I have also seen the fact that they are currently undergoing numerous changes to the website mentioned several times, and are holding off on new ones for right now. :)

I think its a good idea, becuase it spreads the trust out knowwhatimsaying.

Ummm.....it's JP's website. I think he pretty much gets to decide where the trust goes. You want to spread out the trust.....open your own website ;)

I think that doing that would not be a good idea. There is really no need to have anyone else involved in the making of the website.

good idea, but prolly jsut too much right now. No one really has any major complaints, and things get fixed when they get strange, so why go threw all the extra trouble.

JP does a good job, he's very responsive to comments such as my suggestion for an FAQ and gives reasons for rejecting ideas too. It might make life easier for him if he allowed senior members to moderate, edit etc. but we're talking about complete strangers here who can't be held to account if something goes wrong.

Jp responds well to his user community. Why don't you pm him if you feel it is viable?

The idea was to allow the site to grow faster, not to take the controles away from JP, he's doing a great job and has created a site worthy of paise, but as more and more people start to join, posts will get crowded, and eventualy (if we'r lucky) this site will become one of the world's larges and most used web sites. We have all these exsperts and geniuses siting at home, loging in, posting, why not start of a few group projects, combine our efforts, we could make almost anything with the combined resources we have...

If this was to b done, then JP would be the ultimat leaded...(No d'uh) and every thing would have to go through him, although this seems radical, It would eventualy have to be JP's desision who sould be alowed to change things and write code for the site.....

We'r wasting so mutch, althoug the site is already above amazing, it is not near what it could b, there are alot of small details and things that users would like to get changed, the trick is to stay one step ahead, unlike M$ who's alway a mile behind....

pwaring: Yes, he's doing an amazing job, but the site will grow out of hand, even for him...
SarinMage & uraloony: It's ok now, but will it stay like that for ever?

....Just a though......

:D :D :D
Tanx for the input ppl :)
ps: debwalin I wish I coul, but I can't....in not good enough... aww well, thats what I'm here for.

I like it just fine the way it is. You can add more functions, bells, and wistles sure. In the end that just means more bugs and loop holes to jump through. Right now it's unclutered with a touch of wow.
