KWWHunction Blog

Not a single reply after Loget asked who would be willing to "really" contribute, I guess it's best if the blog was not created. Better to NOT have a dead blog than a dead blog.

What did you expected? You put 2 comments that kill the will of contribution, with prejudice and then, it looks weird to you no one responded?
Loget asking for contributors, is like going on fishing, asking fishes: which one is willing to get on my hook. Contribution doesn't work that way. You stimulate people, to contribute, you give them reason to do that. You don't squeeze the shit out of them, asking for something, and not giving anything in return. As long as there is mutual benefit of linking back and forth, there will be contributors. And it's the only real benefit for both, not some 'respected' rank.
Even if there isn't, you don't ask for them. You just allow everyone to give their share. And, from 30K members, there will be diamonds.

Most of you are talking about contributing but when the time comes, will you actually contribute? I remember when certain members stated they'd help with the magazine with Mindy but started to make excuses. If you say you can contribute, then contribute if you can't then don't say you will.

We all have bad days, we are all busy, that is where you failed to understand a 'contribution'. It's free, and it's volunteer basis. I can give up whenever I want, without need to pardon myself to anyone. I give it on my free will basis, without pushing, demands, time schedule. Just like you are mod here, you are not paid to do it, you can quit whenever you want, it's not an obligation to you. Even if you are being convinced in that, with the set of rules you have in front of yourself. You are free to leave any time, and whatever you decide, rest of us can only say: Thank you for your contribution and free time. (I am not saying you should leave, don't get me wrong here,lol)

That is why I've suggested to transfer complete NEWS/TUTORIALS section to blog, where everyone can contribute, like they are already doing, not just a few 'picked', with new group name. Separating people in groups is always a bad idea. That is how you are losing rest of contributors. So, I am right here, against new 'publisher' group, or 'editor' group. We have admins on this site, it's their job to be editors, so if they want shit running better for them, they should recognize their opportunity to raise this site on a new level, and move their asses doing something themselves.
If not, then, well, fuck it.

So, how I see this model is like this:

1. Everyone is liable to submit article, which is then held for a moderation.
2. Article submitter can link back to his own site from the article, and get something in return. This model works for article directories, why it wouldn't work here?
2A. Article submitter COULD put any link/banner that points back to KWWHunction or KWWHunction blog, or the article itself, so both KWWH and contributor can pull the best out of this situation, regarding SEO.
3. It's based on free will and time, without any special ranks, so this can grow. Once you put a 'publisher' rank, or any other imaginary rank, you've killed it.
4. Editors / article moderators will be staff members (administrators themselves), because, no one should be running this site and have that obligation, except administrators. It's their site, their responsibility, and if they want people contributing, administration should take over some hard working on themselves. (like, reading articles, hitting publish button)


Stop talking about blog that was like few years back, when this forum had 10X less members, and 10X less popularity, and was all about warez. It's just ridiculous.

You want to gtfo of warez? This is the chance.
