10 Questions for misual.com

September 2nd, 2008 3:15 pm by perek

misual.com ‘about’ ah hian information duh ang tawkin ka hmu lo a, ‘guideline’ pawh hi PDF format anih vangin browser thenkhat hian a support loh vang leh display chiangkuang loh thin avangin, heng zawhna mawl te te, mahse members tam takin kan hriat chak si ( a bikin members thar deuh te), te hi kan pu te ho hi kan zawt teh ang che u.

  1. misual.com hi engtia lo piang nge anih leh engtikah lo piang nge?
  2. misual.com hi mimal ta nge a nih, group ownership? If individual, who’s the boss? :)
  3. Ads on this site is so minimal I happen to believe that you guys are doing this as publice service rather than profit (in contrast to old Mizo sites like zoram.com and izawl.com.) Am I right?
  4. Regarding its popularity and membership, many people believe that misual.com could serve very well as a channel for sharing and distributing files (forget youtube videos, quality sucks). Have you ever pondered on this?
  5. Will misual.com be ever up on sale when you guys retire?
  6. Please define “objectionable”, “offensive”, and “explicit” when submitting stories and article.
  7. The above being asked, why not a separate, age-restricted section?
  8. Since some other popular Mizo sites have been nicked or abbreviated (such as LK for lawrkhawm.com ), why don’t we do the same for misual.com? (I suggest “MC”. Plain “misual” is too general, easy to confuse with the actual Mizo word.)
  9. Have you ever banned users? If yes, on what grounds?
  10. Has the site ever been hacked? By whom?

Khang zawng te kha a ni e, tuna kan zawh theih te chu. Ka lawm e.

    3. Ads chu mamawh ve tho na in, tum ber leh poimoi ber nilo. i bet the admins r tryin their best to minimize ads on the site.

    4. well. regarding file sharing, users r REQUESTED not to share explicit, offensive or objectionable file … but cant stop anyone though. …

    5. when the admins here retire, a new group of admins will takeover. and NO, Misual.com WILL NEVER B ON SALE… kan phal lo user ten. kan ui. poisa poh k thoh khawm hrehlo. thawhkhawm a ngai anih phot chuan.

    6. as for those expression above, u might considering use of zahmoh trongkam which might offend other users/blogrs/ etc. our admins r tryin their bet to keep it clean as possible.

    7. need a seperate, age restricted section? go join some porn site. hehe.

    8. No, i like misual.com just as it is now. i guess others have the same opinion too. MISUAL.COM foreva.

    9. users ban k hrelo. umm.. anyone can join, so long as they behav in their speech…. or woteva … tenawm, zahmoh leh uchhuak tak taka an awm emo, an post/comments chuan Admin te an post/comments an remove sak thei. …. or more…

    1. misual.com hi engtia lo piang nge anih leh engtikah lo piang nge?

    the idea
    what if is there was a place to aggregate
    good stuffs from mizo websites,
    contents about Mizo/Mizoram from the net
    inspiration – Slashdot
    when?
    the idea was conceptualized in summer of 2005, when starring at the ceiling :-)

    thu.com
    thats the domain that came to my mind first
    already taken, the owner asked 1 million!

    misual.com
    I wanted it to be a Mizo word, short, easy to remember
    and something people should think “Eeee” when they hear
    it was registered on Aug 9, 2005.
    whois query shows Aug 5 becuase of domain transfer to godaddy on Aug 5 2006

    wateva
    intially misual.com didnot have a slogan
    this was inspired by virgochhas who kepts saying whatever…
    it kinda match since it was fundamentally an aggregator

    drupal/WordPress,

    It ran on Drupal for a year. And then WordPress
    that kind of changed it from a new aggregator to a community blog
    since many user self written posts came.. and even now.

    mi(sual)

    2. misual.com hi mimal ta nge a nih, group ownership? If individual, who’s the boss? :)

    – The best answer would be, it managed by a group. technically, the domain is in my name.
    for every operation in WordPress or in the hosting account, there is at least two persons who have access.
    we dont have boss :-( the group does have something called guardian, current father. He is still a student
    and I am around online/accessible more, so you tend to see me more.
    we have (and I have personally) discourage the usage of admin which is popular in forums.
    boss -> Zoramthanga

    the group came into being on this day
    https://misual.life/2007/08/.....-guardian/

    3. Ads on this site is so minimal I happen to believe that you guys are doing this as publice service rather than profit (in contrast to old Mizo sites like zoram.com and izawl.com.) Am I right?
    – we have more than enough money from the Ads to run the site. hence, we are not profit driven.
    we have actually used the services of LiewCF.com for some WordPress tasks for a fee.

    4. Regarding its popularity and membership, many people believe that misual.com could serve very well as a channel for sharing and distributing files (forget youtube videos, quality sucks). Have you ever pondered on this?
    – It would be nice if we have the resources. there is also a legal question and where to draw the line

    5. Will misual.com be ever up on sale when you guys retire?
    – I don’t think so. volunteering is always open. as long as people volunteer, it hope it runs.
    with the amount of incoming submissions and the quality that we aim, it is a tough job to keep it fresh everyday.

    sometimes, it feels like a fire you started and can’t stop.
    lines of people with firewoods coming
    if you just throw in all the woods, either all hell broke loose or the fire dies.
    somebody needs to place the woods at regular intervals, at the right position
    to keep the fire burning and at the right temperature all the time

    that is what we are atleast trying to do. it is not easy

    6. Please define “objectionable”, “offensive”, and “explicit” when submitting stories and article.
    – we don’t have any list. decision is made among the group case by case. we often write to the submitter.
    this is also a tough job, since we are responsible to an extent. this also one of the reasons, we publish
    some post late.

    7. The above being asked, why not a separate, age-restricted section?
    – don’t think so. again, there is time and resource issue. many ideas do come even among us.
    honestly, it is difficult to be many things.

    8. Since some other popular Mizo sites have been nicked or abbreviated (such as LK for lawrkhawm.com ), why don’t we do the same for misual.com? (I suggest “MC”. Plain “misual” is too general, easy to confuse with the actual Mizo word.)
    – yea :-) well misual seems short enough, I think

    9. Have you ever banned users? If yes, on what grounds?
    – two were banned but only for a short while. they were banned
    because they were menace to other reasons. They also ignore our warnings.
    And one guy thought he was banned simply because his comment (which was by the way none sense)
    got caught by anti-spam and it didnt appear.

    Interesting questions and thanks to x-man for the answers as well. its a long one and there will be typos.
    if you can’t follow, please point out.
