Well Mahakaal i aggree but what can you do its there server now
That's why it's in this forum :D
hehe you know what i mean they will probably allways have that amount of AP's now though its a shame people who have worked hard arent even near there level
I couldn't agree more. Get rid of the list. What purpose does it serve besides boost ego's?
well... true I can't disagree with either of you... not that it's really my place to comment. But thats what happens when some members tried banning the new management from the first day. I think it would have been better if the new management had given themselves gold dots and made themselves immune from AP's rather than give themselves masses of greenies but...
Jupman and co... what about this suggestion? We all know you run AO now and I can understand why you gave yourselves lots of green dots in the first place... but what was wrong with the gold one?

<edit> Ck beat me to answering with another suggestion :)
I can't see a need for it. Beats me why JP ever put it there...
If we can slowly steer the site away from trying to promote some individuals as better than others we'll all benefit....
That particular list should be removed, it's corrupted, not to mention that it get's people into a state of competition....something that only leads to badness....just like the Most viewd profile list was removed coz some one ran a scipt to keep clicking on that same profile untill it was at the top, at which point, the use of the list and it's validity had gone out the window.....
How ever, the thread starters list is really cool I think....I miss the posts from some of the old memebers in AO....they had alot of good input and alot to share and I owe alot to them...any how...to draw towards a conclusion...I think, that a new list should be made, one that lists some of the oldest and most contributing members AO has ever had...oh well
my 2 cents spent.
- Noia
I see a good 5 people on the list that don't deserve or shouldn't be on it. The list when I left was Waaaay different and had some deserving people IMO. The owners totally owning the list defeats the already beaten purpose of it. Might as well get rid of it if you ask me.
I will not post a reply in this thread untill I see someone from management add some insight to this subject.
Ooops!! Don't ya just hate it when you think out loud and yer puter takes the initiative to post yer thoughts on AO?
Anyway.....
i dont care about a list ill never be on, most the people here hate me anyway, at least thats what im getting from my nice constant incoming nega, i never had any before i made like 3 posts that people really didnt seem to like and now they keep coming, oh well. like i said before havinga buncha greenies isnt gunna help me get laid or win any money.
It's too bad that this site has already started the fatal "screw you little people" attitude. But then we choose to come here, don't we?Quote:

'Here Comes The Boss' kind of says it all, right?
(Oh, 'scuse me; it was 'Meet The New Boss'.)
Hmmm, how to answer this thread...it's a bit of a sticky wicket for me because it has been expressed to me in many ways that a lot of people don't appreciate my posts and the fact that I'm on the top ten list, and I'm not sure I deserve to be there either. However, that having been said, it is intended to be a reflection of members that have earned the respect of other members on this site. For whatever reason that respect was earned, it WAS something that was worked towards. I never really thought it was neccesary to know who the top ten AP earners were, but somehow IMO it makes a mockery of the entire system to have the five members mentioned in Mahakaals original post to be on the list. It's easy enough to get there when you just give yourself the points. I'm sure this post is going to be regarded by some as me complaining because I'm in the number 10 spot again. But that's really not the case. What I am complaining about it the fact that members like soule and Neg, who have made numerous contributions to this site, have been bumped so far down the list by those who haven't earned crap. I've heard rumors over and over that the AP system is going to be dismantled anyway, so why piss everyone off beforehand? Go ahead and get rid of it, and stop making a mockery of the way this site was run before your purchase.
I have to say that I've been having some problems with the way things have been handled anyway, and this has caused me to lose a lot of respect for the owners of the site. However, the feeling I've gotten so far is that they have no respect for the members of this site, so my lack of respect for their operation so far is probably inconsequential to them.

/me wonders.....
If one of the afore mentioned "suits" (new operators) posted a tutorial (say on, ohhhh.... "How to alienate an entire online community in 30 days or less") would they automatically become members of the top ten tutorials list also?
[edit]
From my AP center...
Bwaaahahahahaha....maybe JP could burn some cash from the buyout ;) and get Paul Simon to redo "50 ways" AO-style. Good one d00d!!Quote:
Or hows about 50 ways to screw your users? LOL
[/edit]
I'd trade one Negative for all five of those green bean smuggling hippies. I'm gonna start my own site called AntiAntiOnline.com. ;)Quote:

Yep, although most people seem to complain, look at the bright side of this, the remaining five people on the list that do 'earned' thier Ap's are now top five in stead of top 10 on the site! ;)
Has to feel great to be a top 5 member out of more then 100000 or let's say 25000 cause some own 5 accounts.
Ahum... what the **** are we rambling about? bleh. If the list was like before people compalin and assign neg's cause they believe some people don't belong there. Now many people think some people don't belong there. Well, what's the difference perhaps those people are right. But speaking about earning ap's... it's not fair, yes I know. But who of us (members) would have payed the $$$$ Jupiter Media payed to get the site? They really 'earned' it, or better purchased it. There are other worse things you can purchase these days, like president of a superpower country, a woman from Ukraine, a false master degree from a major university, those things do have impact on our daily lifes. This list? ok, it's at least unfair and not completly decent, but who does not want to be the greatest? To be number one? Well buy yourself a site like this.
[/ironic]
Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't ever remember seeing JP with his little gold dot on the top ten list...
plus, i don't mean to butt into the conversation all off-topic... but i'm sure that there are much cooler things that we could be using that space for for?
00h, i have an idea... i'll post in the suggestions forum.
i jsut think its retarded they they feel that they ahve to be on the lists and have to have points...
i think the mods and **** shouldent recieve any antipoints at all.
they have all the power to begin with, why give them the illusion of more?
jsut a question, is my sig really ****ed up or is it jsut my machine... here i see every word on one seperate line......
note i diddent write it like that,
This is what it looks like to me Sarin:

Your sig is ****ed..... :)
Using Opera 7.02, your sig uses a different line for each word....takes up nearly a whole page....
Guys: we didn't do it to be on top of any list.
We're mainly sweating away in the boiler room here trying to fix things and make the site run faster.
Point taken: the admins points aren't hogging the top 10 list any more.
LOL....Now we look like a bunch of whiny wankers.........Just get rid of the entire list...
Hey Jup, thanks. It's nice to know you're listening. It may not seem like a big deal to you guys, but it was kind of a slap in the face to us. It's good to know we can get your attention ;) Thanks again!

Yes...please get rid of the list. I enjoyed a brief vacation from all of the abusive comments and name calling when the top 5 positions got gobbled up by management. Less than 24 hours after being put back on the list the abusive comments have begun to return. The top ten is nothing but a waste of resources that could be better used somewhere else. I'm tired of seeing f*** you and you b****rd and all that other childish crap in my comments section. This "toy" has been a source of abuse and turmoil for quite some time now, and it is time that it was taken away from the "children" who refuse to play with it the "right" way...even if that means scrapping the entire system.
I don't know what you are all winin' about. They are removing the AP system, so this thread is kinda useless as this site is in a state of reconstruction anyway. Just have patience, and stop asking for things that are allready bound to happen anyways...
damn and i was going to sell my green filled account on ebay... :( guess ill be broke again.
Eh, do what others have done, Fiend. Put a riddle up there and sell the answer. (I wish I was kidding) :DQuote:
