Changes to the Board of Director title

[Cypher 1,187 / 11,383]

Sadly, the Board of Directors has come to the conclusion that most of GFL lacks basic knowledge of the English language. Some of you get a pass, because we know that not all of GFL's members speak English as their primary language. The majority, however, have no excuse. We, the Board, are tired of being referenced as "BoD". Not because we think we're deserving of a better title, but because you guys constantly reference a single board member as a "BoD". "Cypher is a BoD, ask him.", or "Shuruia is the BoD with the best forum posts". We can't sit by and watch as you people take a title that refers to a group of 5 people, and use it ti singularly describe each one of us. Enough is enough.

 

We will be referred to as a Directorate henceforth, because we want to make it easier for you as GFL patrons to sound less stupid. Thank you!

 

(This means that if you're going to talk about a single one of us, we're a Director. Not a Board of Director, or a Directorate, just a Director.)

Yes.

What does ti mean? Also quick thing is this really what the BoD is stressed about. The problems in GFL are we have the title BoD. Should we not be stressing about maybe more important things. fyi I'm honestly not sure if this a joke because of how ridiculous this is. basicly what I'm asking is.

IS THIS A SHIT POST

being called a director is better than BoD because being called a BoD can confuse people thinking there is just 1 director instead of multiple.

[Shuruia 3,125 / 26,797]

Was this change needed? No.

 

Was this change beneficial for my sanity? Absolutely.

Heh, the management calling their members subtly stupid

[Auralanity 1,089 / 18,408]

Hey BoD, what's the name change for?!

[Snoopy 1,480 / 15,610]

I, Snoopy, refuse to be called a CA anymore. We can no long tolerate this because CA refers to the group of Community Adviser and not a single person. If you wish to contact me please call me Community Adviser Snoopy.

[Cypher 1,187 / 11,383]

You, Snoopy, messed up the plural and singular use of community advisor. You do get a pass because you're not a native English speaker.

 

"To the group of Community AdvisorS"

[Snoopy 1,480 / 15,610]

Not that I care, nor do I care about this announcement because it seems really petty and stupid. 

[BunnyFox 318 / 8,341]

I like it.

[syrus 1,000 / 15,155]

Call me an Advisorate.

[Cypher 1,187 / 11,383]

Advisorate isn't a word. =*(

Aha! This proves that you are merely masquerading as a Briton. A true Brit would welcome this decision with open arms.

 

Probably a Frenchman.

[Leks 2,304 / 26,618]

Seriously, I don't think half the GFL knows what a fucking directorate means, the other half doesn't even know that word exists lol

 

 

in general, that's a  from me.

Fuck this you all will still be BoD cause you are a Board of Directors 

[Deadpool 11 / 3,025]

Why do I feel like they are speaking as if they are kings and queens and we are just lowly peasants?
