The Village Idiot Would Like to Make a Public Apology

[the Jester]

"For your crimes, I sentence you to ...22 hours of.... Synabarr!"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

"A-HAHAHAHAHA!"

D00d, save that one for serial killers.

 

[Krug]

Glad that it's been resolved MM!

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

"For your crimes, I sentence you to 13 hours of Tales of the Floating Vagabond, 14 hours of Lost Souls, and 22 hours of.... Synabarr!"

I'm so there. What crimes will get this punishment meted out to me? And can I invite MattyHelms?

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Hey hey hey!!

I thought I was the village idiot around here!!! Besides, a REAL village idiot would NEVER admit a problem. Which is why you rock, MM!

 

[DaveStebbins]

Like A-M Guard says, Michael can't be a village idiot. We never see him at any of the meetings!

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

Hey, at least you haven't posted a link to that Roman D20...

 

[Tom Cashel]

Where's Hammy McHamHam?

We need a greased pig.

 

[Tallok]

Hey MM, these things happen, you've been doing a lot of work for the site But, if you had entirely crashed the site...

 

[Gnarlo]

Yeah, it was well intentioned (even if I am of the 'if it ain't broke, don't break it school ), so I don't think Village Idiot applies.

Howzabout "Official ENWorld Tinker Gnome"? Too cruel?

MM, you are doing a hard job that is, I imagine, largely thankless and consists, for the most part of doing really cool stuff that's really hard and takes forever that nobody ever notices, and every once in a while letting one little thing slip and getting roasted over excessive numbers of coals for it.

Website administration is one of those jobs like software testing and sound editing -- nobody notices a thing you do until the moment you screw up.

Two things that are great about how you go about your job here, MM:

1. You're always trying new stuff. The boards are always getting improved, updated, revisited. Which is great.

2. You're always quick to roll back any changes when a problem occurs. We so rarely have to put up with excessive tinkering and little "Hang on a second, I'll get this!" delays.

Good stuff.
