K, it's uploading. Give it 5 mins.
5 mins to upload 9.5 MB. Depressing.

Wait, I don't remember that well, but in Camoon's thread about gamifying (or at least the one fake Dan gave) the thing just sorta died out, not because people complaned ot said it wouldn't work, but just kinda, died. unless I don't remember something which is perfectly possible and actually very likely). But I do agree that maybe some more transparency would be good. Tbh, I don't believe or can't accept (or am saddened) by the fact that only Dan could do something like this, I still wonder about it and think that anybody (or at least a semi-active/well known member) could have gotten attention and support too, but that my just be my naiveness talking. I think pretty much everyone still thinks the FakeDan's project is a good idea. I can't do much for it, but when it's ready I want to at least help distributing some posters.

You shouldn't assume that Dan's account got hacked because of a weak password. And the Gamify project was posted by me. So your project is the first two polls right? And to promote transparancy of staff?! Couldn't agree MOAR!

Lyserg: About why people still think Fake Dan's project is a good idea.
People don't want to look stupid. If they say "I don't like the idea anymore" it will show everyone that they only liked it because Dan presented it. Which is true for a lot of people I believe. Whether you like it or not, we all hold onto whatever Dan says. He has so much persuasive power over us it's scary.
I'm helping out, not because it's an amazing combination of two projects (which it is) but because the spark is going, and the projects future seems bright.

I'm not sure I can answer some of the questions, like the internal communication thing, that's a question a thousand times best answered by actual staff members =/ and any opinion I have about it can be severely uninformed, but I'm gonna go with it anyways...

I have given Zang the exact reasons for his demotion. It's more than the very recent events.
But it's up to HIM whether or not everyone is informed.
Regarding the real Dan's end of this: he's still deciding what to do. I mean, imagine that you had a mildly large following of people, some of which dislike you, and you find out your accounts were hacked into. It's a rough thing to figure out what to do with.
NOW, regarding this project... I still believe it's an amazing idea to go with. If people have somehow, some way gotten the motivation to keep it going, that's wonderful. I just wish it didn't take hacking the admin account and impersonating him to do so.

I just wish it didn't take hacking the admin account and impersonating him to do so. The alternative was Dan actually posting, which, let's face it, wouldn't have been likely. I'm not blaming the decline of SPOTM on Dan, but rather acknowledging that Dan is the ONLY way SPOTM will incline. WE NEED YOU DAN! This project could do some good though, I believe the momentum we have going could seriously do some awesome things. We all just got extremely pumped, and even the realization that it wasn't Dan behind it can't stop the motivation. In fact I think people are MORE interested after finding out it wasn't Dan. xD Maybe.

Oh, Cam, I misread what you said.
Anyway, YES, we need to continue working on Fake Dan's project.

I pretty much agree (except for the whole "reinstate Zang" part, I'll make a post about it later)

and you find out your accounts were hacked into. Sorry for off-topic, but i have to say something about this. 1) Does the staff know the person/IP that logged into dan's account yet? 2) Can we confirm that all posts on dan's account that still exist are all from the real dan? if not, can an admin/mod clearly put "This post was made by the fake dan" under every post made by the fake dan? preferably in bold red or something.

THAT'S my point. We have no idea whatsoever about how the place is run. We only know about stuff AFTER the decision's made and we don't have any input.
