I remember the "The Mysterious Editor" thread. I was so anxious to know who the Editor was at that moment, and when the torch was passed, who that one was. I never found out :wall: OK here goes, time to set the record straight. When we started the Times back in August 2005, there was ONE Editor. And there was only ONE person writing as the Editor at any one time. For the next two years, anyway. I don't think it's a big secret that the Crew Leader at the time was the very first Editor, so I'll state it for the record here - it was Eeeediot. When Eeeediot left Tip.It and I took over as Crew Leader in September 2005, we needed a new Editor, and I found one. Don't ask me to name any other names, I won't. That editor was with us for a short while and, once again, had to be replaced when he/she left Tip.It. I then offered the Editor position in April 2006 to a new Editor, and THAT's the Editor that was in place when the whole "who's the mysterious Editor?????" discussion started. He/she was still in the job when I retired in June 2007, but obviously, he/she has since retired as well (and boy, can you ever tell). I think he/she stopped writing for the Times shortly after I left, based on the glut of "Letters to the Editor" that were published shortly afterwards. And NO, I was NOT the Editor, although I did help out on a couple of pieces with him/her. And I reviewed and proof-read every single article before I published it. Even the guest articles. No room for mediocrity in my house. I'm sure not many of you know that almost everyone at Tip.It had a blast in keeing the "who is the editor?" mystery going for the loooongest time, until the furor died down. That third Editor was responsible for some of the best Times ever...well, in my opinion, anyway. Some of the most memorable pieces were fictional ones that added to the mystery of who the Editor REALLY was. These "Who is the Editor???"-type articles include An Important Meeting Takes Place and A Midnight Raid. Please take a minute to read them. They're extremely well thought out and well-written pieces, written with love by someone who obviously had a talent for writing that you don't see much in the Times anymore. Which brings me to the state of the current Times. They're awful. I don't mean the content, necessarily, but they're not editorial enough - they're almost always about one specific aspect of game play or go on and on about some complaint the author has. That would be ok, I suppose, if they were at least well-written. Not all of the articles suffer from poor writing, but a heck of a lot do. Poor style, bad grammar, awful spelling, you get the picture. I stop reading after the first paragraph if it's obvious that nobody has even proof-read the article. Even when "the" Editor I so fondly remember was in the position, not one single article was published without it being proof-read at least ONCE. Now it appears that the articles are published as is, with no thought to the quality of writing and the resulting bad image these poorly written articles end up having on Tip.It. So PLEASE, Crew, take some time to read the articles before you publish them. Find someone on staff that has excellent writing skills and make sure he/she proof-reads every single line. You can't do an effective job of communicating without it. You may as well not even try. I've said my piece. Bottom line - articles are OK, but they need to be checked for spelling, grammar and style BEFORE you publish them. Not after a ton of people start posting corrections on the discussion topic! And here's the link to the famous "Mysterious Editor" topic, in case anyone's interested: viewtopic.php?t=559242 And for the second time, NO, it wasn't me. And the person who WAS the Editor at the time is no longer part of the Tip.It staff. And YES, there was only ONE Editor. There wasn't more than one person writing under the Editor title - we only kept that suggestion going to throw everyone off the track. Kiara
