Pick the next Underboss

I've just waded through all those posts and i must say i am surprised at some of the suggestions.
Personally i don't particularly want a popular member as UB i would much prefer an Active UB who is level headed.
There are very few characters on the boards and i would not want one of them stifled by the responsibilty of the UB job.
We also need someone mature enouth to handle the post without upsetting the masses.
The whole emphasis of the forum should be on like minded people furthering there tech knowledge not gossiping about BS. We need a UB who is Genuinely interested in Games, Gaming, Systems, Tweaking and clocking etc not one who is just sat in a bedroom bored.
Whether it be for GD or any other section our UB's and Dons should be System heads or gaming heads. All this lifestyle crap should be way over on the sidelines for times when Tech stuff stagnates.

Haly was without doubt a dedicated Gamer who not only played but cared about gaming she will be Very hard to replace. I would like Haly approached and reinstated please. She has/had a great style in control and was odviously dedicated to the gaming section. A Stealth UB with a lot of respect amonst the community without it leading to over familiarisation.

I would also like Gilly approached and reinstated. I posted a while back that i was worried that there is Knowone that could replace the Gilbot in overall coverage and standard setting. Even if Gilly was made a UB again i am sure this would help raise standards again.

I know you have said you cannot reinstate but Spie you know as well as i do You can do anything you want.
Read through and look at the suggestions and the praise for Dons and UB's passed. I think you will agree that the new suggestions are hardly suitable and the old are Highly respected and regarded.
Apart from Gilly and Haly the only other person i know on these boards to be level headed and mature enouth for such a post would be kell-ee01.
It's consistancy i want not spontaneous characters.

Mickey_D would be my choice too although like myself he seems to spend the vast majority of his time in the motors forum where most posts are mature and don't need a lot of RTMing.

Haly was also excellent, I dunno what happened with her but she was an top quality UB from what I could see.
 
I would put a vote in for Fatiain, nothing to do with me owning him and taking 10% for agent fees.

New - Seriously Fatiain and Thesnipergecko in Console section as a UB (I don't own him).
Old - Haly for PC Games and Consoles and GD as UB and stick MatBlack back in.


---------------------------------------------------------------------
VOTE for FATIAIN, THESNIPERGECKO, HALY AND MATBLACK - they will make your wildest dreams come true


and now a skit by the happy hands club.

'Who wins, you decide'

Haly and Thesnipergecko for PC and Consoles section

I think kreeee for the gaming section would be a good idea, he has some opinions that I may not agree with but then its always gonna be like that with games. He posts in a lot of threads which suggests he must read a lot of threads and I think he generally knows everyone in that section. He is almost becoming the tolien of the gaming bit.

No disrespect to him, but I get the feeling that it wouldnt be a popular choice with some PC&CG posters.
 
After thinking since this topic appeared I've come up with:

Haly
Mohinder
Matblack
Mickey_D
Kell_ee001

All have their qualities from what i've observed since i've been a member and the several months before joining, but i'm not going to pick just one because I don't believe in favouritism, I think they would all do a great job.

That's right, you can choose the next Underboss or two. So who will it be and why?

Respectfully, what the benefits of a member becoming a UB. All they seem to be is just messengers, RTMing etc. :confused:

Don - "Tea boy".
UB - "Yes bwana".

Well something like that, it's not like it's a worthless position or anything, you do have responsibilities, but you can't go on a rampage with the banhammer just yet ;).
 
I'm not sure who to recommend but I wouldn't like certain ex-mods like Gilly to return personally - I think it's a more pleasant atmosphere now he isn't a mod any more. I expect he won't be able to resist taking the position again soon though :)
 
My first choice would be dmpoole for Don in the Music section but he obviously doesn't want it. Quite funny that most youngsters in there treat him as though he knows everything and he's a know it all but watching him in real life is fascinating. He walks in a pub and all the musos want to talk to him, he sits down and watches the band and when they come off they come to him. They'll often be pointing at the stage asking for advice on stuff and I've never seen him buy a pint. You young fellas should listen to him. I've also seen him at a music quiz and there might have been nobody else in the room. Some people think I'm up his bum but I know a genuine person when I see one.
 
My first choice would be DaveMac. He almost single handidly keeps an eye on Members Market for me.

Top lad.
