The Design Crew

We have always been open to people submitting skill signatures at any time.

Please, we'd appreciate them.

Lmao, you deleted ALL the sotw trophies too? **** am I fixing thast for you after this.

Laters, I'll be willing to tell anyone why MQ was removed from the DCC later, since I really don't care if it's leaking info now.

You had left the DCC, and Matt was as good as gone from it already with him resigning. MQ was moving forward with the DC, going to get something up and running for the crew to work on right away.

It has been months since a design crew site project was promised for the graphics crew, and the last site design did not involve the crew at all, although it did showcase some of the talents of the members. The site was produced by the DCC only. There was also a forum skin project handed to the DC, which is also only being worked on by the council.

I know it is hard to divide these kinds of projects up between members, and that is one of the reasons why the design crew never should have existed in the first place.

You have to admit, other than the odd signature project, and a few extras like wallpapers, and tutorials (which were all very nicely produced), the design crew did not have much to work on, and they were left wanting more when there is nothing to give them.

Shane and I allowed this crew to be created with the condition that Shane and I would have no part in this crew and that there would be adequate projects for the crew to work on. This however never really happened, and the amount of members have slowly died over time.

Everyone who was in the design crew was very good at what they did, and we very much appreciate the work they did, but the crew was just not really functioning with the lack of projects, and ideas for new projects were sparse.

One does not need to be in a "design crew" to contribute to the site, and this design crew rank was starting to become a joke because of the minimal appearance of the design crews work around the site. Shane and I do not have anything to give the DC to work on, it's not that we don't trust the DC, it's just that we have lots of stuff in the works already and we don't really have a need for graphics that much. The only graphics work we really need is the tedious work of cutting out backgrounds of images of Runescape items, npcs, and objects for guides, and that is not in the spirit of the design crew.

I would like to thank everyone who was a member of the design crew for their support and submissions to the site. Thanks for the skill signatures, SOTM/SOTM trophies, wallpapers, graphics tutorials, and rank images. I encourage you to continue your support to the site. If you have suggestions or comments for what the site needs or should be changed, use the RSBANDB Site Section forum, that's what it's for. Any submissions for site graphics such as skill signatures can also be posted there or directly PMed to Shane or I.

Sorry for the quote, just a habit when i'm in a discussion with someone because people have gone back and editted their post after I post making me look like an *** in the past. But yes, sorry I did not reply to your comments properly.

Personally, I've always wanted the design crew gone, it never really had a purpose other that to make this community more graphics oriented. This site however is not a graphics site, it is a community for the discussion of runescape. I did not care what the design crew was doing as long as I was not involved.

When i see that there is problems with leadership and sudden changes in leadership, and decisions I see that as an oppurtunity to remove a crew that to me serves no purpose. The same could be accomplished without a more or less organized crew. When there is no crew, there is no expectations of projects and people will help when they want to instead of being forced to do something to keep a rank that basically has no meaning.

The design crew was removed by mine, and Shane's decision, although you and matt don't seem to mind that it's gone all that much. In fact you seem more relieved than you do angry or disappointed. MQ didn't seem to care what happened to it, and I never talked to Nate, but I believe Shane did.

I'm very grateful for the hard work you guys put into managing it, but as I said the lack of original projects, and the lack of work (none, basically) that SHane and I have for the DC to work on for the site is the main reason for our removal of it.

Sorry for the confusion, I know it was a kind of spur of the moment kind of thing.. we maybe should have discussed it a bit more first. I kind of wanted to just get rid of it before anyone could change my mind again though, and I hope people will agree with the decision...

Lets look at those points for a second shall we?



I take it you mean the rank change, woopey do. It was needed, it was done for a reason and i fail to see how the chat room should be affecting the DC and it's decisions in anyway. Also, if it was down to me there wouldn't be a chat admin rank at all, it's not needed.



So? I've yet to see -any- proof of this but the reasons I've heard for her doing it are legit and i would have done the same. People have tried to have me removed from Mod, i don't go out and ban them for it.



From what i heard and saw, none of you supported each other.



Shes living in a foreign country, trying to deal with uni and being away from friends and family, i think she had a bit more on than you guys and she STILL seemed to get a lot done here and to tell me she only works when she feels like it, when i can guarantee every single admin and moderator will tell you otherwise because we see how much work she does moderating is just rubbish.

And if that really was a good reason to kick someone then the majority of the DCC would have been kicked long ago, cause there just as bad.
