Eruname, I'm sure Din was de-admined. Not least because all his permissions went AWOL at the same time. ;):P He also shows up as the same colour as the rest of us when he's logged in. Do go and check though!

Eru, I registered at the experimental board.

Truehobbit, I see you're already there. :mrgreen:

Alandriel, well I said some time ago I'd do it in spring, so I guessed you either forgot it or you saved me up for later. :Q

I have another thought on the admin situation, not so much for what is happening right now but for the future.

What if you had current admins, 3-4, and then had a small group of admins in training that could work with and learn the ropes before they actually take over the postition.

It could be simular to the reserve admin that was suggested but a little more formal. This would give the boards a reserve pool so to speak. Both for when a term is up, but also a source of some trained people to draw from if another emergency comes up and someone needs to leave suddenly.

I for one have absolutely no idea how the behind the scenes of a message board works, and would find the idea of stepping blindly into the postion quite daunting. But if there was some type of training or mentoring process in place, maybe others like me who aren't so computer literate could learn the ropes before stepping up to the actual postion.

Rho, the admin panel is very straightforward to use. It takes far more time to learn all the possibilities you can do than to learn how to use the controls. You can check that in the experimental forum if you want; in fact, as I'm pretty sure that someone has pointed out already, that would be an excellent admin training boot camp. :mrgreen:

Just to clarify - my idea of having inactive admin was for the people who wanted to experiment, not for emergency purposes. It was inspired by Ro, who wanted admin status so that she could look around and get idea's.

Now that the experimental board has been set up, that idea is redundant.


My idea for emergencies was in the techno geek thread - completely different idea ;)

Oops.

Well, some "reservists" could be around, not only for techie emergencies, for which I know I would be worse than useless... I'd be a liability. :oops:
But they could come in handy to let n00bies in, or do some routine operation, if there were no other admins available at the moment.

But if we get more than 3 admins, I don't think that should be a problem.

Voting is over, so I'm locking this thread and making Estel an admin.
