This question is aimed at any Administrator willing to answer.

#1. Are you willing to answer and say an accurate annual net worth of The Tech Game?

#2. Do you guys have plans to revamp the site again meaning a new version anytime soon?

#3. If a member here takes part in illegal activities such as fraud or scamming another user, have you ever contacted a local authority regarding that user and the offense they have committed(Only if it was illegal and was subject to arrest)



#1. Are you willing to answer and say an accurate annual net worth of The Tech Game?
You're only worth what someone is willing pay. Instagram made no money but Facebook paid 1 Billion for it. acquisition attempts have been put forward before to take over TTG by large corporations. I can't name them just know its happened every year since 2011 and some of them are very big.

One offer was totally insane at the age of 22 I made one of the biggest decisions in my life at that time and that was to turn it down based on my principles. the company wanted to merge TTG into another one of their gaming sites a very large one. the reason I turned it down was because they were not clear to me about how user details and data would be handled. The way I look at it people signing up here put their trust in me to look after their data but not only that its the platform they've used to invest sometimes days of time creating posts or threads that's without things like gifting users.

I'm not driven by money I have no interest in being rich I just want to be happy and running TTG makes me happy without the users who have put their time and money into here TTG would not of been able to stay independent and that's a very rare thing for a site of this size.

#2. Do you guys have plans to revamp the site again meaning a new version anytime soon?

We will comply with valid court orders.

Gavin- wrote This one is for Sean ,

What were your first steps/approach in creating TheTechGame and what was the most challenging part?


I really did not have any steps I just set it up for fun and shit happened. The most challenging was scaling TTG to deal with its rapid growth. when me and telli started working together what he had to work with was total dog shit the site was never designed to handle large numbers of users so it would lag and crash really often this took sometime to overcome.

Sean- did you expect the site would grow this tremendously when you first had it designed?

Matthew- wrote How many people have you banned?

What does a users profile look like when you view them?

What is the best thing about being an admin?

This is to all admins



    I can't say that's something I kept track of. But it's probably a good amount.

    There's everything there as usual as well as the additional admin options

    The best thing has to be the amount of things you can use to handle reports, viewing suspended account pages is really helpful as well.


PapaLarge wrote Can i have ninja?


We have a competition running right now here.

ZTG wrote Is being an Administrator, a full time thing?


Nope it falls under the same category as mods, we're all volunteers that love TTG a little too much just like how we all have that uncle that loves drinking a little too much.

-Silky wrote Have you ever banned a staff member?
Do any staff members argue with eachother frequently? ( if so who?)
What does the average user profile look like?
Why not make the TTG YouTub channel more frequently used?
Who is the most superior Admin


    As a joke I have once, hasn't been an occasion where we have to.

    The average profile has a section of the admin tools that we can use on that account

    That's the big man's decision, don't have access to that.

    Everyone loves me so me.


RepBandit wrote Have any of the admin met in real life?

@Naggy how did you gain such a great username? Are you a hidden Jedi master?

I'll have more later guys


My name stems from the days when I had the user name "Nagisa" , one of my friends didn't want to call me that so he called me Naggy instead cause I complained or something. So that's where the name was born from.

I haven't met anyone yet. Some of us were going to head to LA and write on the E3 expo coming up, but plans never really came to light.

RedWood wrote Can u show us some of the things that you have access too that we don't? Like the report system?

EDIT- Also what does it look like to give out a badge?


The report system is very simple, has the requester on one side, the reason close by, and the post ID with a link to the reported post on the other side along with the delete report button.

Giving a badge out isn't all the glamorous.


Greg wrote If you got your way, who would the next bunch of staff be?


I don't have any sure fire targets but one thing I look for is flexibility with time zones, so it'd have to be an EU/UK member so Mortar can rest up with some anime when he's the only one on.

Miss wrote Did Casca escape on his camel?


It's a sore subject.

Rabbi_NASA wrote Can I be staff again????


No.

BPM wrote Great TTG bake off.
Who wins? Members can be used as ingredients.


I was going to say me. But, if the ingredients are human beings then Suhpose would probably be the only one competing.

Mr_Robot wrote Is speed really a woman?


No but he's Madeline's boo.

xJet_Coder wrote Applies to all staff members.


Which other staff member(s) do you best get along with?

What member(s) do you beat get along with?


Right now I think I'd like to think I'm friends/acquainted with all the staff.

I best get along with the level headed low ego members on site, sprinkle a little anime for taste as well and some basketball and you won't see me stop talking.

-Elizabeth- wrote How does someone become a mod??


Really determined on if we need any, and if we do it needs to be someone we can trust so 9/10 it will be someone that plays staff just so we don't have someone that we don't even know on the team.

Thespian wrote What did you get for Christmas?


Mad clothes

Boss wrote Applies to all Administrators.

What's it like being an admin?
Do you like being part of the staff?
What does it take to join the staff team?


    Big step from being a moderator, more abilities but like my Uncle Ben said something about responsibility. But for real there's more things to do.

    Yes its mostly all I've known being on here.

    You just need to keep doing the grind my man. Think of it as you're trying to get max level in a mmo.


I'll be answering these in bulk.

@Naggy

How did you feel when you were asked to become admin?
Did you jump around in circles?
And if any other admin wants to share their feeling too go ahead nerd
