Well, that sucks.

The website serves it’s purpose just fine.  You’ve done a great job & I appreciate you taking the time to do this for everyone.  I work with websites so i know it can be a lot more time consuming than people might think, it can be very stressful.

Keep it simple stupid all that is required is access to the Swarm and the articles. I’m not very computer savvy, but I’m willing to help any way I can if that’s possible.

It’s not an archival site any more. We need to keep it updated so it attracts new members. There should be tabs for mini mantras and such, and a tab that sums everything up. A couple of additional site administrators would be of great use in developing this site to grow with the Swarm. I recommend six gun if she or he is up to the task. Six gun can probably get chat rooms up and update the messaging system, etc.

The where did you post the mantra thread should be private from non-Swarmers. Instead of current titles like “Subscriber” and “Contributor”, there should be”, “Trusted Swarmer”, “Pretend Swarmer”, “Visitor”, and “Probationary Level.”

New members receive Probationary status until they have proven their worth by posting the mantra x times.

Everyone who posts the Mantra is a Trusted Swarmer. Any folks who don’t post the Mantra would just have a Visitor status.

Only Trusted Swarmers able to view the thread.

Additional site admins will be able to safeguard the where did you post the mantra thread by assigning us each  into the right category.

And cheers to Brian.

Brian-The fact is Bugs HAS stagnated a bit recently and we all want to get it moving forward. You said yourself you don’t have the time needed to take Bugs to the next level. As i said in the first part of that post thanks for everything you have done.

David Joop,

I made the call on that one. It was a 50/50 proposition, were some rabbits did not want the links posted until we understood the changes that were being online on places like youtube. There were others that said it did not matter. With animations coming out etc. We thought we would sit back and look for a bit and understand the changes being made etc.

We now know the basics of what they are doing. I will be writing an article explaining and opening back up the Swarm for whatever goes. The Swarm came about after the Follow the White Rabbit podcast. So I always feel a certain responsibility to the new comers. The last thing we wanted was for some new Swarmer to go on Youtube and be frustrated because they could not get a post in etc.
We now know most of the rules and how they are enforcing them. Fears were somewhat overblown. But there are a few new things to know. I will be writing an article opening back up the Swarm.

And yes, all the back channel talk was…..that the Swarm (and all the other Pro Whites) caused the adjustment in policies. The Swarm is on a workable consistent message. So we will continue to be the cause of an adjustment in policies.

The Bugs site was NEVER intended to be the ‘focus’ of action

The ‘focus’ of action is OUTSIDE of Bugs on OTHER sites such as youtube etc.

Why do we need chat rooms here anyway ? We’ve got ‘Swarmfront’ at S.F in particular, and the whole of Stormfront in general to chat, and then we have all of WNN besides our own subforum there as well.

If that’s not enough communications potential then we can fall back on youtube P.M’s. The last thing we need to do is try to waste manhours and personal energy to replicate what is already up and available. If ‘chatrooms’ were really  needed things would be absolutely jumping over at ‘Swarmfront’ (SF) and ‘Bobs pro-White BBQ’ (WNN)

As for ‘stagnation’, well I don’t feel we have, I’m still posting, and I’m sure you fellows are as well, and the anti-whites haven’t been able to track me via the swarm or by my now disabled ‘view comments’ on youtube. I enjoyed throwing the anti-whites into a spin by ‘going dark’……anyway Horus is onto it so I’m sure everything will be Ok

P.S  I may not have mentioned it at the time but we caused au.news.yahoo.com to change their policy about 8 months ago. They banned ALL comments, entirely, from everybody.

Good point HD.  Having posts creates the image that we are getting things DONE.  It might be a compromise if we could limit it to members only viewing the links.  But anyway, I’m not sure that is how they are blocking our posts.  Mine are blocked IMMEDIATELY often times.

I may be guilty of complaining.  I can’t view Bob’s Blog or log in to post on the swarm from my phone.  Every time I get to a computer I post something about about that.

I guess that is a complaint of sorts, but I look at it more as a notification that something is wrong.  If you have new people coming in as I hope we do, they are going to likely be letting you know about the same things that are wrong.  This might sould like a bunch of continous whining if you are on the recieving end.

I am sorry if I came accross as a complainer.  I believe you do a great job.  I know how time consuming it must be and speaking for myself, I appreceate all you have done.

By the way.  Does anyone know why I keep getting redirected to porn sites when I try to get to Bob’s Blog on my android phone?  If it is my phone only, tell me so I can leave Brian alone.
