    I'd be a little bit hesitant with backing a dramatic website shift without a clear end goal in mind. If the website is a facilitative vehicle to a particular outcome (e.g. to advertise a server), then we should probably settle on what that should be first. That being said, there are definitely slicker sites out there.

     

    As for what I'd like to see, ho-boy. A bit more colour I think. And can you explain what you mean by full forum integration, and how it's different to what we have now?

     

    https://www.uwsgaming.com/ - A google search for online community has these guys at the top. Instantly you get the sense they're a slick operation.

    Had a little trip down memory lane today, and had a look at my introduction from 2012. I thought I'd make a new one in the interest of actually meeting some more corners of the community, but for reference you can see below:

    Yeah, I'm Wist, I think some of you probably know me a little now.

    I always hate writing these introductions - I never really know what to put.

    I'm sixteen, I usually play by the name Harry, but I've been using Wist on steam. Most of you know me as a wannabe pro ct, I've donated a very small bit and tend to laugh my way through jailbreak.

    Currently doing my A-Levels, though I did my A Level English at 13. (Yay, I guess?)

    Play CSS, COD4, a whole host of PS3 games, I'm a sucker for rockband and guitar hero (expert on drums/guitar.)

    If I'm not being a potato on css, I'm cycling (I cycle 40km a day) or with my girlfriend. Or watching films with friends - we raid sainsbury's and buy so much junk food you wouldn't even believe. I also design maps, but for cod4. ? Might try css mapping one day.

    Peep that completely unnecessary A Level English brag - what the fuck was I hoping for?

    Anyway, I am (still) Wist, but my real name is Harry. I am now 23, and live in London. I work in Technology Resilience at Deloitte Cyber, specialising in Business Continuity and Catastrophic Recovery in Financial Market Infrastructures. In plainer English, I effectively help banks, clearing houses, brokers, securities dealers, repo dealers, payments infrastructure (and a whole host more) recover from IT failure of all stripes - minor outages to total disasters. If anyone is interested, read this story about the world's largest shipping company, Maersk, being hit by a cyber attack. It's about the kind of scale I'm aiming to combat.

     

    Prior to working in Cyber, I studied Political Philosophy at a place called Trinity Hall. I grew up in Somerset, where my parents still live. I think I've probably served in more roles than anyone else in Outbreak: from memory, Member, Mod, Admin, Head Admin, Community Admin, Co-Owner, Owner, Veteran and now back to Member again. I will always have a special place in my heart for this community - we really are a (dysfunctional) family. I think I probably know the OGs better than most of my real friends. Between my life's ups and downs, they're usually the first to know. I definitely hope the younger generation get the same bond - it's a special thing (and probably why the OGs are such an insufferable clique if you're not 'in').

     

    Don't have nearly enough time to game as I'd like anymore, but I seem to be playing CS:GO, Rocket League, and FTL as my 'go-tos'. I'm still running around as a fairly headless chicken trying to work out how to vaguely adult - no luck yet.

     

    I'm conscious that some of the younger folks are getting to that near-university application stage - If you ever need a hand, just yell. I'm happy to help with personal statements or revision advice etc. etc.

     

    Anyway, that's me. Hope to see more of you around!

    This vote will be closing in the next couple of days if you haven't already vote please do so. 

    As it's a new role not everything is fully confirmed of what the OB Rep role will do, currently I'd imagine OB Rep will have different responsibly that a mod. So keemy can still be voted for and whoever wins will be asked if they actually want the role and if they decide they don't it'll just to to the runner up.

    are you excited for your 1000th post

    To answer the question of "Mintlou, what is your goal with this?" : I would put myself forward alongside another long time member to run this community and try something new. I would not accept this job solo. This other person would have to be as committed as I am or I would reject. I have asked another member who has expressed interest  

    In light of how many flagrantly racist/homophobic/sexist soundboards there are of you, what now makes you a credible owner?

    One time my mother called me a son of a bitch, so I hit her because no one talks trash about my mother, then I hit myself because no one hits my mother, she then hit me because no one hits her son and then hit herself because no one hits me, so I hit her because no one hits my mother. cant stop me
