Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

Netjet, quit playing messenger for the admins. This is the second or third time I've seen you say you were going to forward something onto the admins which makes us normal community members feel unimportant.

You don't need to bring anything up since AJ just brought it up himself.

I'm not, he brought it up and it seemed like he wanted it taken off. If he did, I just said I could ask if he wanted. In retrospect he could do it himself, so I understand where you're coming from.

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

Those who voted no, what reasons make you think Tass should not have legend status?

And Middie, I think you should give more explanation of why you voted no. What did he fail to accomplish? Did he fail his standards as Admin?

Absolutely, he did a bunch. So specific

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

@NetJet! - I don't care for it to be removed; I'm only quoting Zageron, that's all. If it is, that's fine. If not, that's fine too.

For those of you who don't think Tass is deserving of it, consider a lot of the things he brought to the plate.

1.) simfile overseer - yes, we don't agree with all of the files, but there's no doubt that he did his job.
2.) widgets - he was the one who went out of his way to make sure that stepartists made content for the embeddable widgets (which REALLY need to be brought back, just a side note)
3.) activity - 26,000+ forum posts in the forums themselves, plus actively moderating other areas of the site
4.) motivated - he kept doing his job even when things got rough.
5.) long standing member - member since 2003, and held activity for quite some time

I don't know about anyone else, but he definitely possesses the attributes for someone who deserves Legend status.

He also did a lot of site events don't forget those.

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

I miss his Spontaneous Contests I'm happy to see that front page posts are more graphical now though, reminiscent of Tass era.

EDIT: The guy has an era named after him, therefore, he deserves legend status :P

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

As most said, although I don't agree with (many) decisions he made, he is more than deserving due to his longstanding commitment and dedication for this game.

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

Guys, we lived during the Tass era!

I believe he should receive legendary status. Sure, he was kind of an asshole at times, but he was a chill guy nonetheless. He practically coordinated everything and imo contributed most to the site than anyone. Regardless of his infamous rage quitting, rejecting everything FFR related (or maybe just the Synth man), the amount of good he did should not go unnoticed.

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

Has anyone turned the question around and considered whether -TASS- would want FFR Legend status? He left on pretty bad terms with the site, opened a directly competing site, and so far as I know, has never come back.

He has posted at least once from what I remember, I think for a bet of AAAing Tell v3 that dossar won. He said he wouldn't be returning though.

Re: Poll: Does Tass deserve legend status?

I'm voting that Tass should be legendary for his efforts to bring FFR to the masses. Not just through widgets, but for introducing it to Kongregate (and vice versa, introducing us to it, kicking off a beautiful rivalry between himself and Rubix).

He also did a hell of a job with stepfiles, personally playing every one of them before even putting it through the converter. Also, Biggest Postwhore 07-08. Yikes. Above all, aside from holding himself to what others expected of him, he did the same for others. Now that FFR's a non-profit, I don't see Tass ever getting the money he says Synth owes him, but by the same token I don't think he's going to press charges.

Yeah, it was an ugly split, but as long as he was here he did some amazing things. Tass for legend.

He's not with thirdstyle anymore either. Just wanted to throw that out there.

I don't think Tass would turn down being honored for his hard work in as small a way as getting legend status. It's not like it would affect him in any way and, if anything, it might make him feel less at war with FFR.

Besides, isn't Legend status just a way to show the current users, 'hey, this person has done a considerable amount for FFR and deserves some respect'? That's certainly how I interpreted it.
