I'm just curious as to what you all think would happen to INTL if I were to die or somehow got amnesia or something equally absurd.

What do you think would happen to INTL?

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

Would anyone really care if I died?

If no one took over the primary responsibility of paying the bills, would you pitch in to help raise the money to run the site?

I'm just curious about all this. Please try to answer honestly, you're not going to hurt anyone's feelings.

No.

I'm not sure anyone could keep up the work that you put into this. I'm also not sure of the programming skills of the people here, so this may also be the last version of INTL too.

I don't know if I'd donate more. On the one hand I'd like to see this place live on. On the other, I'm not sure I'd want to put money forward to what might be a dying cause.

As long as it were run well, I don't think it'd be too horribly different.

I'd care MAGUSMAGUSMAGUSMAGUS

Depends how my next job interview pans out.

I'm not sure how one would go about taking over paying the bills. It seems to me that there would be a few people who would be willing to do that, but I just don't really understand how they could pay for the bills when you're the one being billed.

I remember, back when we thought INTL was going to be shut down, that Mingan said that he could manage forum code, and I think NNY (not sure about this one) even set up a server.

>>a great deal of resentment.

well, if you were to die suddenly, i think it would take a while for anyone to notice, unless someone like dramamine found out and told the forum. if she didn't find out, i'm sure intl would just disappear and no one would know why.

Ice: Sanity Overdrive, I believe. It was okay, but not as great as INTL.

I guess I might as well, for the heck of it:

Quote:
What do you think would happen to INTL?

It would likely stay on, if somebody could keep it up. If you died, someone close to you, likely Dramamine or WI would probably tell the forum very soon, so there wouldn't be much of a delay in finding out. Most people here have grown close. I would expect someone would likely make another forum if this one couldn't survive, or just move to IRC full-time.

Quote:
Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

Quite a few would probably offer, though I'm not sure how someone would take over. Like Ice said, you'd have to set up a system where it would pass into their name.

Quote:
How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

I would feel different, considering it is your work, and it seems only appropriate that people in general would feel different. Despite the numerous other admins, you're the creator, and it wouldn't be the same. The person taking over would lead it differently, and they'd run it differently.

Quote:
If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

If I, well, I highly doubt I'd ever take it over.:monocle: That job would probably go to someone who is an admin and doesn't feel awkward using paypal or paying over the internet. LOL IM SUCH A FAG!!

I probably wouldn't change much if anything, unless events (dramarama) arose where I needed to change rules or such. Perhaps I'd recruit people who could do advanced PHP work, as I'm not that acute in it, (which would be another reason I'd probably not take over), in case any bugs needed to be fixed, or additions are requested to be added. Overall, I don't think the current forum community would last if I ran INTL. I'm not really that funny, nor do I have the charisma you, and the rest of the Admins, seem to have. Nor am I you in general, or any of your admins, Sandy.

Quote:
Would anyone really care if I died?

I would, despite how corny that may sound. I'm not that great with absolutely fully commiting to the internet like I do offline, despite the jobs I do on it. I know one day it will disappear, and unlike books, there probably won't be remnents of it. However, I've gotten to know you, and I would care if you die. I'm pretty sure most INTL people would care if you died, or infact if anyone they knew well online died.

Quote:
If no one took over the primary responsibility of paying the bills, would you pitch in to help raise the money to run the site?

I'd likely get over the awkwardness of paying over the internet, and eventually put in some money, even if it is a dying cause. I already risk money on stocks, and on numerous other ventures, why not on the absolute survival of a forum I visit?

If I may ask, what drove your curiosity about this?

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

I'm sure someone would.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

Depends on who it is. For instance, if it were someone like Mingan, it'd be cool...if it was me, I'd be outraged and never post again.

id try to at least help with the bills. but how would we know you died, at least before everything went down from non-payment? i guess sarah or somebody would find out soon enough.

if id be cool with someone else in charge depends entirely on who it is. of the current administrators brad is the one id prefer being promoted to Fearless Leader status.

sanity overdrive sucked because it was some lame ass freeboard, we never finished making the real thing. its still on my computer, with the server ready to go incase of some untimely disaster.

id care if you died, i think you're [img-kick'n rad].

I hate yankees and this is one reason why. Just because you can't pay for 3 hot dogs doesn't mean that the economy is bad and ya'll think that bush is an idiot because he's from Texas.

I'd help out and pay the costs, but I am nowhere near capable enough to code a site like this.

What do you think would happen to INTL?

The first ever mass-INTL meet would occur at your wake MAGUSMAGUSMAGUSMAGUS

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

I'd bet someone would at least be the guy to mail in the checks, you know.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

It'd be a lot to get used to, honestly. I probably wouldn't post much toward the beginning, then I'd slowly be sucked back into the addictive nature that is forumming.

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

I can't even fathom that.

Would anyone really care if I died?

Sure MAGUSMAGUSMAGUSMAGUS

If no one took over the primary responsibility of paying the bills, would you pitch in to help raise the money to run the site?

I would. I mean, I plan on donating a bit after I get a job secured and stuff. I wouldn't stop a flow of donations because you died, or something.

It'd probably disappear after awhile. I bet someone would try to take over responsibility, but eventually would give up on it. I'd still come here if it were run by someone else, because if it was someone who had been here awhile, they'd probably keep it mostly the same. But I don't think it'd be quite the same, because for the most part you seem to generously and fairly run INTL, much moreso than I think other people would. Not to mention there would be no one to add cool features. I'd rather you didn't die, but, in reality, it wouldn't have much effect on me or my life. It would disappoint me a good bit, but that's about it, since I don't really know you and I never talk to you or anything. If possible, I would do anything I could to help keep INTL afloat, but it would be hard for me to pitch in money. I think I have like $6 right now (I've been meaning to contribute to INTL for months now, but things keep coming up).

Quoted from Sandamnit:

What do you think would happen to INTL?

I think INTL would have a community exodus to your funeral first, then we'd try to rebuild.

Quote:
Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

At $1000 a year, I can take them over completely, but I'd probably be able to put in about 40 bucks a month.

Quote:
How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

It would depend. I wouldn't want someone who wasn't a good contributing member. Say if Mingan ran the site. That I could "get with." I couldn't however "get with" someone who was a complete idiot running it. As long as the new manager knew their way around INTL, so to speak, it would be fine.

Quote:
If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

I'd be too immersed in my newfound abilities at first. Afterwards, we might have a look at some policies or elitism towards newbies, but not right away.

Quote:
Would anyone really care if I died?

I'd do my best to be at your funeral. So I think it's safe to say I would.

Quote:

All I could.

Honestly, I think it would die. It's nice to say we'd all contribute to save her, but the bitch is just too damned expensive for an age group which primarily consists of middle-class teenagers/early 20's who either already have University/College bills to pay, or soon will.

I'm sure someone or a group of someones would try to put together a replacement. The idea has been done once, and discussed amongst a group of us a few other times.

Quote:

See above. Unless one of the rich kids with uncaring parents did it, I doubt it'd be done.

Quote:

I pretty much echo what's already been said. It all depends on who. Of course, were INTL to survive, I'd feel weird for awhile not seeing your name attached to updates and such.

Quote:

Nothing at first out of respect for your death, except maybe some sort of E-Memorial permanently etched into INTL's Code. After awhile, maybe some small changes to consolidate forums, change around moderation some and such things. Nothing major.

Quote:

I'd imagine those who get their daily dose of forumming from INTL would care a great bit, as well as the rest of us, since the death of someone you know--even online--is rather striking.

Quote:

Again, in all honesty, probably not. I just don't have the cash. With 12 years of University ahead at about 14k a pop, I'm going to be so far in debt I'll be able to chat with the Enron folks, so although I can donate occasionally, I couldn't even help on a monthly basis.

What do you think would happen to INTL?

The collective effort of the people here could keep it running, they'd surprise me if they did though.

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

you're the only one who can answer that, unless the above situation aplies.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

probably still the same, unless the person would change a lot about the site and rules.

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

That depends on how much time I'm willing to put into adapting the INTL php, and how much changes I got inspired to make because of that.

I'd probably juggle some mod positions around, just for fun.

Would anyone really care if I died?

I would prefer you didnt die, or get amnesia or whatever. Really caring is asking too much.

If no one took over the primary responsibility of paying the bills, would you pitch in to help raise the money to run the site?

Depends on the person who's running it, like said before, I dont like investing in a lost cause.

Why is everyone mentioning me as the person taking over?

INTL would probably be thrown into some swirling dark abyss. I would try to help INTL survive any way I could, but I am very financially limited. I don't know how I would feel if it were run by somebody else, it depends on who that somebody else would be.

If I were to take over, not much would happen because everyone would promptly leave.

Probably a similar episode with Nova attempting to make "donut land" on some shitty proboards site would take place if INTL were to shut down on account of Sandy's death. Maybe there would be an influx of INTLers into OD, as there kind of was last time INTL "shut down".

Even if Sandamnit were to die, a lot of people would not believe it until INTL actually physically shut down because of lack of payments from a dead person.

What do you think would happen to INTL?

Everyone would probably collectively chip in whenever. Or it could die.

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

I'd try and fail miserably. See last question.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

Like everyone said, it depends on the person. Mingan? Yes. Boo? God no.

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

I wouldn't be able to handle that kind of power. I'd pass it onto someone else with better judgement. Brad or FA, most likely.

Would anyone really care if I died?

I would. It's like the death of my overlord, except my overlord is cool.

If no one took over the primary responsibility of paying the bills, would you pitch in to help raise the money to run the site?

I definitely would.

What do you think would happen to INTL?

Well for once everyone would be united in one sort of feeling. Even if people don't specifically care for you, they'd respect what you did/do for the forum and feel bad about that. Though I don't know who those people would be. If the forum was kept up, I think posting wouldn't be hindered too much, as there would be background forumers finally coming into action to discuss the issue and provide condolences, surely.

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?

I have no idea, I couldn't, I can barely pay rent. But if someone could, but barely, I might find a way to pay a few dollars a month, and maybe work to give more in the future. If you specifically said "Danielle I give this responsibility" then I guess I'd have to sell myself on the street because I would respect your wishes after you were dead. Thinking like this is weird.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?

Totally depends on the person and what they would do. Maybe new fresh ideas could help, maybe someone would get power happy and ruin the forum, who knows. It would be interesting to see anyway. I am more than satisfied with how it's being run now, though, so if admin team that are in power now were in power, then that'd be fine.

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?

Well, I like to think that I'd go powerhungry psychobitch and ban anyone I think is a negative effect on INTL, like I guess Boo, not really people like Surt because, though he's negative, he is overall somewhat funny. But realistically, since I would have the responsibility of the forum on my hands I'd feel compelled to make the responsible decisions, and only ban if it seems necessary. Though I'd probably watch like a hawk those who aren't in my favour to wait for them to slip out of line.
I don't know if I'd change anything, as I said I like it around here. The one thing I would definitely do is make it so people can get voted out of RS. As in, if they're horrible, the mod of RS at the time can vote for them to be voted out of RS. Because a lot of people shit up the place, y'know? So I'd make it so the people who were voted out either couldn't view or couldn't post there.

Would anyone really care if I died?

Oh Jeff MAGUSMAGUSMAGUSMAGUS

Let's face it, if Jeff died the forums would turn into a memorial for him for a little while...someone would try to kick it back up but like a star its light would gradually fade until nothing is left. A new star would be born and we'd all hang out there until the founder died. Repeat process until we're all 60 something and empty inside.

I think it would die after a few weak attempts to keep it running.

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?
At first, probably. In the long run, I don't think so.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?
Well, it'd be different, but if it indeed survived I guess everybody would eventually adapt and it wouldn't be very different after all.

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?
I have no idea. I'm too lazy to even think about this.

Would anyone really care if I died?
I think so. It's quite a shock when someone you know dies, even if you only know that person because of the internet.

If no one took over the primary responsibility of paying the bills, would you pitch in to help raise the money to run the site?
I wouldn't count on that.

Best guess is that it would keep rolling for a little while and then sputter out and die.
Then one of the big wigs would create a new site called interestingnonethemore

Would anyone take over paying the bills for INTL?
Depends on how the billing company found out who the new person was.

How would you feel about INTL if it were completely run by someone else?
I probably wouldn't notice, considering I haven't been paying much attention.

If you were to take over, what would you change, if anything?
I wouldn't deliberatly change anything, but if I took over, I'm sure the site would rot and die all the faster.

Would anyone really care if I died?
Count on it.

It would probably die after a few months. I'd try and take over, but I have no money. NNY and Mingan would probably ressurect Sanity Overdrive or something.

The only people I can see doing that are Mirthalac or Brad.

Depends on who it was. If it was somebody like Jota, I'd probably hate it. If it was somebody like Brad, I wouldn't mind.

I'd change the name to "Flaming Arrow presents a Flaming Arrow forum, The Flaming Arrow Extravaganza."
