There will be a public meeting to discuss the board here and a few other things. Members can give their input and let us know how things can be improved.

The meeting will be held over IRC in #christianfurs on freejavachat.com (aka web.ircstorm.net).

You can use our web client here if you do not have your own: http://christianfurs.net/chat/cf.htm

 

The discussion planner (with notes form a staff only meeting) can be found here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/98598/plan.txt

 

I invite you all to come and speak.

The meeting will be held Saturday, May 30 at 6PM Mountain tme (1 hour before church service in #cff). I will be surprised if it goes over an hour.

 

Corrected the typo in the topic title -- it was bugging me. ~HoboFawkes

Ugh, yeah, I am always 6-7-8 hours a head of you. I think that would be around midnight over here when it starts. :-/ But I can probably make it if I stay up late, good thing its on a Saturday.

Timezones have always been somewhat of a problem for me. :dodgy:

[Flechmen 0]

Its not too late to move it up, it would probably be better not to run it so close to service in #cff

[Golden Fox† 0]

Well, I usually stay up late at Saturdays anyways, I can make it.

Maybe its not ideal if you change it, since you've set a time.

Don't worry about me, I'll be there.

[Jaden_Yote 0]

Not offend any of our resident rodents but... Oh rats! I'll be working during that time. *flails*

Oh well, I'll catch it next time.

[Alsek† 0]

Yeah, I've got a commitment that day. Not sure what time, but i don't think i'll be able to make it to the meeting. =\

[17:00] * Alsek[Anthro] sits in a chair and faces the pulpit

[17:01] * Wolfin didn't knew we even had a pulpit...

[17:01] * Flechmen sets mode +m for #christianfurs

[17:02] Of course

[17:04] The ~ indicates the results from a staff-only meeting last week

[17:04] First topic, the website.

[17:05] How it is being run. Do we have any recomendations or suggestions?

[17:05] (Remember, PM me if you have something to say so I can voice you)

[17:05] * Flechmen will wait one minute

[17:06] * Wolfin is now known as Wolfin2

[17:07] Alright, moving on

[17:07] Does anyone have any recomendations for making the overall site better?

[17:08] Something we should change (can be anything), something we should drop something we should add?

[17:08] * Wolfin ([email protected]) has joined #christianfurs

[17:08] * RPG sets mode +ao Wolfin Wolfin for #christianfurs

[17:08] Actually, I'm controling this meeting a bit too much

[17:08] * Flechmen sets mode -m for #christianfurs

[17:09] If you have something to say, just say it

[17:09] * Momcat ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: Momcat )

[17:09] what can we do for recrution/retension?

[17:09] * toochaotic ([email protected]) Quit ( Ping timeout )

[17:10] Not a whole lot I don't think other than word of mouth

[17:10] If you look up the site through Google, you can increase our rank on there. That seems to be how most people find us

[17:11] Yeah, that's about it...

[17:11] Anything else?

[17:11] * Momcat ([email protected]) has joined #christianfurs

[17:12] Alright, moving along...

[17:12] (stop me if you need to )

[17:12] * Jude ([email protected]) has joined #christianfurs

[17:12] * RPG sets mode +o Jude for #christianfurs

[17:12] Other recomendations

[17:13] The staff of CF.net thought it to be a good idea to drop the wiki. It isn't really used for anything and is just takeing up space on our server

[17:13] Do the users think this is a good idea?

[17:13] some of the articles could be transfered over to furry wiki?

[17:13] or at least go to add to the one already there?

[17:14] So far, the only articles there are made by spam bots

[17:15] It was intended to explain things for RPs and such but most of that is done in the thread for the game and the wiki is largely ignored

[17:15] Any other input?

[17:16] >.>

[17:16] * Flechmen punds the gavel on his pulpit

[17:16] * Wolfin2 had his say at the admin meeting

[17:16] Wiki terminated

[17:16] * Wolfin ([email protected]) Quit ( NickServ (GHOST command used by Wolfin2) )

[17:16] moving right along.

[17:16] * Wolfin2 is now known as Wolfin

[17:17] recomendations for staff aren't really up for public debate

[17:17] For the size of the forum, the staff we have is more than enough

[17:17] And none of the current staff with to leave.

[17:18] However, we do need staff in other areas.

[17:18] The wiki is terminated, so we obviously don't need staff there

[17:18] None of the current staff know how to use the gallery software however

[17:19] Kail seems to have used it the most, and the staff agreed that he should be asked about manageing it

[17:19] But Kail isn't here so we'll have to ask him later

[17:19] (Kail is at Church this evening, btw)

[17:19] Aye...

[17:20] * Flechmen nods to Wolfin

[17:20] * Wolfin feels like he should be doing *something*

[17:20] Moving right along...

[17:21] * Flechmen feels like there should be more audiance participation

[17:21] * Syruss is kinda shattered

[17:21] * Wolfin pats Syruss

[17:21] I am here, just don't have much to add.

[17:21] * Flechmen nods

[17:21] That's fine

[17:22] It isn't a requirement

[17:22] So, the server that the site is running on. If any of you know about webservers, your input would be apriciated

[17:23] How it is being managed

[17:23] There are no complaints form the staff (including the one who's in charge of the server)

[17:24] How the server is used..

[17:24] * Flechmen looks through his notes on the pulpit

[17:24] Several other projects are on the server that don't have anything to do with CF.net

[17:25] Including a site for a game being made by the CFF community

[17:26] So, if there are no complaints there (I forgot where I was going with that)

[17:26] * Wolfin has no complaints

[17:27] If, and I'll have to talk this over with Wolfin as well, you need a resource on the server you can PM me. Right now, I would only offer said services to staff and those who have a rank in the IRC channel

[17:28] * Flechmen me shifts his weight from one footpaw to the other

[17:28] * Syruss nods.

[17:28] The last bit about the server, it is my understanding that Wolfin was going to look into optimizing it for speed. Has that been done?

[17:29] * toochaotic ([email protected]) has joined #christianfurs

[17:29] * Flechmen waves to toochaotic

[17:29] Not yet, I did research for it yesterday

[17:29] hi

[17:29] hi

[17:29] I might be able to run the tests tomorrow afternoon

[17:29] Alright, should we expect any downtime?

[17:30] Not during testing, I'll let you know what stuff we can do to speed it up

[17:30] Alright, thank you Wolfin

[17:30] Some of that /will/ require short periods of downtimes

[17:30] *downtime

[17:30] * Flechmen nods

[17:30] Other than that, shall we move on?

[17:31] Alright... >.>

[17:31] * Flechmen twitches his tail behind him

[17:31] Other sites

[17:32] We disscussed the possibilities of affiliation with other major entities in the Christian side of the fandom

[17:33] we thought it best to remain our own seperate entity as it would benefit nither party to be affiliated with each other

[17:33] Any words otherwise?

[17:33] None here.

[17:34] * Wolfin yells "Aye" for no apparent reason

[17:34] I second Syruss

[17:34] * Flechmen nods

[17:34] * Alsek[Anthro] has nothing to say

[17:34] ALright. Is there anything else you guys thought should have been discussed but was not?

[17:35] * Alsek[Anthro] shakes his head no

[17:35] >.>

[17:35] <.>

[17:35] * Paralys|GW is now known as Paralys

[17:36] Well, we finished this up much faster than I had planned

[17:36] I can't think of anything.

[17:36] Alright

[17:36] * Flechmen whacks the pulpit with a gavle

[17:37] The meeting is yours, please stick around for service in #cff. Tea and cookies down the hall. Thank you for comming

[17:37] * Flechmen kicks the pulpit and watches it shatter on the ground
