NyanNyanKoneko:
Why Vote for NyanNyanKoneko?

A) No Drama!
I believe in free speech, but drama doesn't help anyone.  I promise to do all I can to minimize drama the amount of drama on the board while maintaining Pixelopolis's high level of intellectual exchange.

B) Minimal Interference!
You have a right to free speech!  It's not the governing body's place to dictate what you can and can not say, nor should it edit posts unless absolutely necessary.

C) Encouragement!
I believe we should encourage new people to post here by creating a welcoming environment and plenty of opportunities to draw.

D) Capability!
As a programmer, I have the skills and dedication to maintain and add to the software of this board. 

About NyanNyanKoneko
I'm a 25 year old programmer from California.  I currently attend UC Riverside where I major in English.  I enjoy writing video games, drawing pixel art, and composing music.  Outside of computers, I enjoy reading, flying (I fly a Cessna 150), and outdoor sports.  I have served as a moderator on several other boards and IRC channels. 

Pixelopolis is one of the most important board on the Internet and on the the cutting edge of the modern artistic movement.  I feel we should all treat Pixelopolis as the important website it already is, and not just another chatting forum.

What are some of NyanNyanKoneko's ideas for improving Pixelopolis?
I would encourage the creation of online tools to make the exchange of pixel art even easier.  For example, we could come up with a cooperative pixeling java applet, so two people can easily edit a single image without sending it back and forth.

Often newbies don't know where they can upload their pixel art.  By either enabling uploads on the forum, or by designing an upload site on another sever, we can make the process of uploading our art even easier.

Of course, anything we add has to have the approval of all the artists on Pixelopolis.  So, before making any changes to the board, I would suggest holding a vote, open to all members of Pixelopolis.

Please feel free to ask additional questions below.

I appreciate your support in the upcoming election.

Dogmeat:
firstly, don't take this as a personal attack, I know how you like drama...

But I hope you don't honestly believe this is a moderator position, all we do is spend a lot of time coming up with creative ideas to challenge and grow the community. It's alot of thinking and writing, not a lot of programming and domination over the forum software.

And whats with all this thing about free speech and no drama, do you have some angst about something, did a moderator wrong you and you're out for revenge?

I'm sorry, but you're political spiel is really coming off to me with evil intentions.

Instead of talking about how you're the best programmer in the universe and how you're going to revolutionize the forum with mindbusting software that will make it so we can pixel using telekenesis could you describe to the community, what kind of ideas you have on activities, challenges, critique, etc.. that you plan to work on while you're in office?

Word up to the 909 by the way, didn't know you lived in the valley of the dirt people ;) all you so-callers out there know what I"m sayin, uh huh, uh huh.

Gil:
I have to second Dogmeat here. Pixelopolis is still about pixeling, and Pixelation has a long past of making things easy instead of complicated. These ideas remind me more of an oekaki board than a liberal pixelation board...

I agree on the minimum interference though. Pep will like it too :)

flaber:
I am fond of the idea of the upload feature to the site but...
you only haev a few months to do all these projects in that you have listed. However, the whole change to the board doesnt interest me. It works fine as is right now, everones happy, why change?

you want to reduce drama by not interefering on anything?? those kind of counter each other. But first lets take a look at our situation. There really has NOT been any true drama in here, comparitivly to the past, which means everyone is generally fine as to whats happening. People have been kicked out, people have made huge deals and such, yet now all old members have returned and the forum is generally happy. You also do not want to interfere on anything. Interference can be a good thing. You can catch a comment that may start something and delete it before it gets out of hand. If someone posts a useless 1 liner or a bump, you can get rid of those. Its not always a bad thing to do that. But at the moment there is no real need for that, so I dont see why you even brought it up. We arn't swamped with new people posting their 4min work and 30second crits. We arnt having wars between people at the moment.

lastly, we arnt being promoted to moderator. We are just Daijin. In comparison to those with power we really dont do too much. We are to help with forum etiquette, we are to come up with challenges, we are to come up with learning activites. We are not put into this position to make dramatic changes. We are there to fill in the cracks between the public and admin. We can be spokespersons for issues brought up by other members, but we may not be the ones to have the power to change it.
So just keep in mind, this position does not have revolutionary capabilities, but rather to help give a nice friendly fun face to the forum.
