Since Malus is always so mean, it was decided that he would be involved in a picture drawn by a talented friend of mine.
Hope it brings a smile to your faces! ^_^

BoxTorrents! Gotta Download Em All!
I have WAY too much time on my hands. I blame people on IRC entirely for encouraging me. -Points at Ayukawa and TCLe-
I wanna be a Staff member,
Like noone ever was.
Stat hackers are my real test,
Trolling IRC is my cause.
I will travel across the site,
Banning far and wide.
Teaching members to understand,
The power of the ban!
BoxTorrents!
Gotta download em,
It’s you and me!
I know it’s our destiny!
BoxTorrents!
Oh, us otakus have no friends,
But it’s a world we must defend!
BoxTorrents!
Our lives are blue,
The otakuness will pull us through,
You leech me and I’ll seed you.
BoxTorrents!
Gotta download em all!
Gotta download em all!
~Nyaaaaaaaaaaa!
Every torrent adoption along the way,
With dismay I will face.
I will bitch about users every day,
And put them in their place.
Laugh at them with me ~ The time is right,
Go Go! Staff Team!
Arm in arm, we’ll clean up the site,
Quality is our dream!

How not to PM Staff: Part 2.5
The user in question from the previous blog post (the one who questioned mods’ competence) was given a one week warning (not by me), and is unofficially barred from ever adopting torrents (“Hi there, I’ll adopt this torrent, but I won’t fix it because that would mean I’d have to do some work”). Adopter blacklist is in progress.
Yet, he still keeps trying again and again to request ownership of the same torrents.
You’d have thought even someone as stupid/dickheaded as him would have got the message to fuck off by now, but this guy just takes the cake.
EDIT: he’s still trying.
New Staff.
I’ve given the new staff members with blog accounts Author access to write and edit posts here. Let’s all hope they’re not all as deeply traumatised as psyren. =D
How not to PM Staff: Part 2
Received in one our our PMs:
are you competent
From ________ on _____ on ______
From ________ on _____ on ______
apparently [moderator 1] and [moderator 2] aren’t :unsure.gif:
[… rest of message …]
It might not have occurred to some users yet, but we staff members do talk to each other. The last thing you want to do is try to bypass a mod/admin’s decision and get things done your way by asking another mod/admin.
We may get on each other’s nerves once in awhile, or crack jokes at each others’ expense, but that’s not the ticket for you to try to pit us against each other. In fact, doing so is likely to produce the opposite effect, i.e. putting your request on lower priority, or on an unwritten blacklist.
Here, I’ll ignore the obvious foolishness of questioning a mod/admin’s competence and writing off the competence of other staff members. If you’re asked by a staff member to do something, do it and don’t try to ask another staff member to approve/grant it without resolving the issue. We don’t bypass each others’ decisions (except occasionally, by accident), so just don’t even think about it.

Subject: (no subject)
i no longer have any of these what am i to do now?
I can’t say I have absolutely no idea what he’s asking, but I can’t give a helpful, clear response until I’m sure of his situation (assuming too much isn’t a good thing). So learn from this and don’t do it to other staff members (on Boxtorrents or other sites) as well 😉
Heck, don’t even do it to anyone, staff member or not.
Misplaced Content >_>
Yeah, for once, it’s not Cubensis55 who’s made the big blog posts late… It’s me.
I hassled him for his contribution and saved it somewhere, but now I can’t find it.
I’ve looked on my desktop, the folder it should be in; my pendrive; recived files and many other places but it’s just vanished.
I promise to post it as soon as I find it. >_>
MarchHare probably stole it. <_<
In other news…
It’s about time for me to have a haircut.
Box Idol judging part 2
It’s now 7:50PM, and judging is done.
EDIT: I should also mention that cube still isn’t done. Yesterday was supposed to be the deadline <__<
Box Idol judging
So, here I am, at 5PM, after staying up until 2AM this morning doing BxT Idol judging. I’m nearly done, and I have to say, we have some real gems in the entries.
I feel the other judges need a mention. Not an honourable one, though. They’re all useless. They’ve had plenty of time to at least make a start on judging, and only cube and I have done anything at all so far. More on cube later.
