I agree, this is a good thing.
May I suggest (but I do not expect) PokeCommunity to have its own Serebii.net-like homepage?
 
Exactly! Now people have to work for there positions and get a fair treatment! Also hmm does that mean PC is 100% independent and can do as it feels without the approval of the community sites?

I'm pretty sure it could do that to begin with.
 
I think it's a good idea. I wasn't around when the idea was first introduced, but I believe it's for the better if PC is more centrally owned.
 
I agree with this motion. I don't really see anything wrong with this happening though I didn't see a problem before.
 
This is pretty interesting.

The sites of this forum wasn't that famous here (at least to my knowledge), so I think I know why this is happening. Still what is the difference when the Site Admins are reduced to normal Admin? They still have the same authority in the forum right?

i agree, I only ever visited Total Pokemon, and that as one to see what its layout was like.

There was a very large thread about this in the Community Questions & Feedback forum, it's just not going to happen. If you're interested in reasons, search out the thread in that forum.

Fair Enough, Just thought it was an idea.

Yes, but they aren't site administrators anymore because their sites aren't community sites anymore. If they were site admins now, the username colour and the usertile would be lying to you. I'm guessing that they've proved themselves to be capable administrators, so they still have the same responsibilities and jobs as they had before.

Anyway, this looks like a good move forward for the community. That's all I'm going to say as that's all there is to say.
 
While I agree that this is a step in the right direction, I am disappointed and perturbed that this decision did not get the deeper consideration that it deserved. It seems sudden to me to be quite honest.

All that aside, I think it's kind that you retained the CSAs as SAs. You could have very easily disposed of them without second thought. That much I do respect about this decision.

There really wasn't any difference between them in the first place--it's just that staff admins were the ones who earned their admin position from years of dedicated work for the forum itself and site admins earned their positions by years of dedicated work for their site, which joined PC. It's just now that the sites are outdated and PC is self-sufficient, it just didn't really make sense to keep that position there when the actual job descriptions end up being the same thing. So really, they weren't "reduced" at all, just switched into a different usergroup. In short, nothing's changed but the colour.

Er, I'm pretty sure this decision had a lot of consideration put into it before it was made. I'm sure only a handful of people know what went on behind the scenes.

I'm not going to say much, lest I reveal my sources, but I've heard otherwise Rekhyt. I have reasons to believe that there are more reasons than just the ones Jake has made apparent to us now. I've been with PC for 4 years now, and Even though I ain't staff, I've got my finger on the pulse of what goes on behind closed doors. (Much to the perturbation of the staff, but I try to stay out of things and say as little as possible unless there's something fishy going on)

But I digress, this was a good move. I belive it will make things a lot easier for the staff.

I can't help but think that if someone's leaking to you from that high up, they aren't a very model staff member, now are they? ♥

It's not so much a leak as it's just that I listen very closely to what's said on IRC and in public about things.
 
Well then if you're piecing together vague bits of information like you insinuate, then I'm not sure you're in a position of authority to make large assumptions like that.
 
Well thankfully nothing from your oh so precious staff forum has leaked to me, if it did I'd tell you myself. All I know is based off of opinions given to me about the new policies, as they are implemented.
Naturally I asked around when I saw m3 and bgt in red.
 
this change was in the works for some time, and basically is something we've (PC) needed to do for a while..

Now the only thing that's REALLY changed, is the ownership of PC.. It used to be pretty much a partnership between the various member sites, and now, we've folded that partnership and are 'privately' owned - an independent site. hopefully that makes sense..

as far as members and even the staff overall, there are no major outward changes.. aside from the lack of community sites being listed on the themes (they're now, for the most part, gone) and the admin usergroup change, its the same ole PC.. none of the rules have changed, and everything works the same.. it will, however allow for some possible future expansion and run smoother staffwise in the long run.

Just asking, not being nosy...
So they are okay with this right?

I suppose what I have heard is merely rumor. That's good to know in the long run.
I do agree that it will make things run a lot smoother around here, only having one or two, if kwesi comes back people in charge.
 
This is gonna be good I can just feel it.
