Okay. You for example, are going to Iraq or whatever soon(so you say). How the fuck will you vote while you're gone?

Torian is obsessed with his gaming more than anything, and last time I tried to prove myself to him, it ended up shit.

Arti is the invisible creator. Created site, kept it going, and now his excuse is the "update." I've seen the update, I'm no coder, but how the fuck is it taking MONTHS? I mean, I understand, people have lives and shit, but MONTHS?

Plobby is rarely on. Great mod, rarely on, nothing bad to say about him.

Google would approve of almost anyone. Which is a good and bad thing all in one, but oh well.

Our programmers, Bman, Chad, and Sk8er are perfectly fine. Sk8er rarely gets on nowadays, but it's alright, I know they're doing their best and shit. Bman and Chad can actively vote on who to let in, but Sk8er(or Gamer or whatever his new username is)'s vote will be missing till... how long would you wait for approval?

The programmers, more active than most of the staff, aren't considered staff, says Bman. Why the hell not? They contribute just like you and everyone else, sometimes even more, when they are called to. The programmers aren't even allowed to see UG Gold, what the fuck?

If your not going to add anyone in underground gold, then why have it? If every fucking member of the staff has to approve, they wont. Plain and simple, something will come up, and it'll fuck up the chances for that member. Please tell me one member on LG who doesn't have a problem with at least one of the staff members.

There should be a Underground Gold application, as there was with UG while Omega had his position, and when VIP was around. An application stating what is required, and in what ways the member has went above and beyond the requirements to be allowed in.

Souleater, please tell me, do you think you contribute to this site? Do you think, that after all your contributions, that EVERY staff member will vote yes, if you met the requirements?
I agree with some parts, but not all. Arti's coding of the site is different then it was with previous sites. Remember, this is vBulletin 4.0 now. I'm not saying Arti doesn't have the potential to do it, in fact I can guarantee you that he has the code 90% done if not finished already. It would just take longer because of the conversion + he's having life problems from what I've heard (which since it's taking months could quite possibly be very bad). And he's not only coding one thing y'know

Programmers don't count as staff, Site Programmers do (there's a difference).

I don't have a problem with the staff @.@ the last problem I had was in 1.0 with Arti when some dude hacked me and then 1pdfhj4w29qrw happened.

Worry about UG Gold later anyways, if Silver has nothing working at all then we have other priorities. And since nobody's getting in Gold anytime soon, they have plenty of time to create it/things for it.

Premium members also get access to exclusive features such as a chat box, being to change their user title, they get to test new site features etc. Users cans still get into UGS via a application process, the main purpose of the premium member system is donations.


This part is for Torian.

Admin cp>Paid subscription>New Subscription

Change the settings to what you see fit.
This is good, this what put in place in LG 1.0 for UG (as opposed to VIP). It was like $8 a month or something... I wouldn't know because I was in UG anyways.
