I am now at liberty, and am pleased to announce, that I have been named the new Director of Operations of the GameStats News Network. However, I am maintaining my position as Co-Owner/Administrator at Apolyton.

Hmmm, there has to be some kind of evil conspiracy here. Maybe Markos is really on the take from Activision...just need to figure out how it all connects together...

Umm, btw, congrats Dan.

Congratulations, DanQ! I'm happy for you.

Now what does this new position involve in terms of tasks/duties? The title director of operations is a bit vague to me as a non-English speaker.

So that's why you've maintained this fruitless association with a dud site. Why not take Apolyton one step higher (now that you can, er, control Gamestats) and become a proper UGO affiliate (like fellow fansite The International House of Mojo)? You see what that site has developed into, considering it covers considerably narrower games than Apolyton... You could do great things with this site with the right kind of backing. And a considerably better-looking design.

Hey squiddie,
That Spink thing is all your fault. You started the trend by invading CTP OT and AOE/K. Dan got reprimanded for the first AOK invasion and when it happened again...Gamestats took action.

Hey, that Mattsmigs bloke comes from where I live, namely Hull.

Oh, and Da, with your position of extreme authority, make sure we get no more of those annoying pop-up ads, eh? And remember, absolute power corrupts absolutely, no you have 'absolute power'. All genuflect to the Dan

Thank you for the well wishes, everyone!

"Now, about Spink and YYYH....."

While I am the new Director of Operations, I do not own the network nor am I in charge of any technical issues pertaining to GameStats, so the Spink/YYYH thing is still out of my hands.

"Tell us, it was the audio newscasts that won them over, wasn't it?"

LOL

"make sure we get no more of those annoying pop-up ads, eh?"

If they do re-appear again, just send your formal complaints to me (if you have any) -- in as civil a tone as possible -- and I will pass them onto UGO once the number reaches ~30.

Does the same thing apply to the offensive banner adds? Or do we need more than 30?

I would say

Who did you bribe, to sleep with, to get info about, to kill, to alienate, to steal from, to get this job.

Good job, hard work pays off occasionally.

I give you a thumb up!

Interesting way of looking at things...Maybe it's your fault for coming to this forum, since that helped make it an important Civ2 forum which then brought Spink and YYYH here which then led to them meeting me which then led to them invading Gamestats. Or maybe people should all be responsible for their own actions.....

(PS: I didn't start the invasion trend...I believe the SMACers did)

Oh well, i'll stop being cute. I just like teasing a little too much.

You actually do have a good point about responsibility for own actions. Rich and Stew had been pushing the limits and had already had a previous ban or two.
