The Public Face of 9rules
Written by Scrivs on November 20, 2006
What is the Public Face of 9rules? Is it a professional corporation? Is it an elitist cult? Is it solely a place to find good content? Maybe it’s a place where you can post your thoughts and see what others think. How about a place to build connections and discover new friendships?
Do the people who run it represent it well? Is it okay to wear a purple hat or act like a fool in front of the camera? How do you approach keeping hundreds of people happy? What is professionalism? More importantly who are the people that have to represent the public face of 9rules?
We are:
- cocky
- humble
- smart
- idiotic
- ugly
- cute
- kids
- old people
- horrible singers
- bad dancers
- human
Most of all, we are ourselves and that’s how we will always be. We will correct our mistakes when they are made (and we make a lot of them, trust us, we know), but we won’t “fix” the idea that being true to ourselves is the only way we know how to operate. This place is run by humans, you can go find the robots somewhere else (there’s that cockiness). However, these humans will always strive to make themselves better and can only do so when people voice their opinions (there’s the humble side).

Wow, that was intense.

I would totally go with public face #2 (the superior, intelligent one). After all, 9rules is an elitist cult. But seriously, the 9rules public face should look like this:

I feel a contest coming on.
November 20th, 2006 at 2:18 pm
I liked it.
November 20th, 2006 at 2:26 pm
Yeahh!!!
You are all that… and then some!

That video is total comedy Scrivs!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Love the last one. Perfect. I say go with it.

I guess images dont work, so here is a link.

Josue: That isn’t a 9rules face, that’s a Pimp’s Face. Don’t try to trick us.
November 20th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
josue is dreamy.

I want the blowing raspberry cos it’s just water off ducks backs face
Or the meh, if you have to.
November 20th, 2006 at 3:00 pm
Definitely prefer the last one
November 20th, 2006 at 3:45 pm
Number 3, no question about it
November 20th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
Well, where are everyone’s faces? I tried and clearly even if I try I can’t put a face that’s not PIMP. Ha! Yeah right. No, seriously, where are everyone’s faces?

We’re all human. Plain and very simple. A lot of us didn’t join 9rules because we thought that it had a corporate hierarchy and everything. We joined it because we thought 9rules was human, right down to its bones.
November 20th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
I agree, where are the faces!? Don’t be shy.
November 20th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
There we go. Am I not ridiculous?
November 20th, 2006 at 5:23 pm
Gar. The things I do when ever so slightly spaced out on cough medicine…
C’est moi. Clearly a representative of the ‘goofy’ side of the 9rules family.

I’m only a reader….not a 9ruler….same goes with my daughter (whose face I hereby submit for consideration)….but my vote is that the public face should be a face that communicates a love for life, because IMHO, this site is a celebration of life.
Perhaps, the best “face” is a collage of the actual 9rules faces….celebrating the 9rulers and their lives.

Wow are you eating that? LOL
November 20th, 2006 at 6:56 pm
Here’s mine, especially made for the 9rules team:

Argh.
I keep on messing up the link posts.

Public Face #1 gets my vote.
I need to get a digital camera so I can participate with my 9rules face. :~(
November 20th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
Tyme should never get creative with symbolism…
November 20th, 2006 at 7:34 pm
Nice Scrives.
November 20th, 2006 at 7:46 pm
I think that everyone will agree with me that this is the true face of 9rules, a mix of all 3 of the faces.
November 20th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
That’s beyond scary.

Flashing my own 9rules sign and face. Little thug, little sincere, hint of badass, full of expertise and arrogance with a dash of unshaveness. Word.
November 20th, 2006 at 9:05 pm
HAHA Devin.
Looks like you’re making bird shadows on the wall with your hands.
I like what you’ve done with the headphones. Nice touch
November 20th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
Hah, they’re my 9 petals or something.
November 20th, 2006 at 11:33 pm

Isn’t it wonderful how new media is changing the face of American business?
November 21st, 2006 at 7:59 am
I liked the third one, go with that!.
November 21st, 2006 at 10:07 am
science h logic.
I think by default mine would be the official face of 9rules, since it’s constantly on display at http://leihu.com/ speaking the rules, literally. Of course you cannot forget that every public face has two sides, which I’ve covered.

Here’s my (quick and grainy) contribution.
I wanted to say something about staying true to yourself, cherishing the community and about improving where you can, never changing because you’re told to, but it didn’t work. I’m just human too, forget about all that other nonsense.

Dude. i took a sip of my coffee, and was swishing it around in my mouth ( Yes i swish it shaddup ).. when i played the video and saw your first face.
My brand new macbook screen is no longer brand new.
Honest to god.

[...] I am not writing this post to give an answer to all Brad Fults questions, or to question what Scrivs write here - I simply write to show you the true public face of 9rules: [...]
November 24th, 2006 at 6:20 am
Actually, this is the true public face of 9rules.. imho
November 24th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
Made me laugh till it hurts…
November 24th, 2006 at 4:26 pm
I got one.
November 24th, 2006 at 7:05 pm
Thomas FTW.
November 25th, 2006 at 6:24 pm
Is there an update about the next round for new members?
I noticed there are only a few writing on the list
November 25th, 2006 at 10:46 pm
The true face of 9rules should be the faces of Scrivs, Tyme, and Rundle all smushed together into one face, the final result, the one face of 9rules.
December 2nd, 2006 at 5:35 pm
At least 9rules HAS a public face… unlike the other blog networks.
December 4th, 2006 at 8:19 pm
I appreciate all facets of the public face of 9rules, and hope everyone else does, too.
