Thanks for replying Mossy.
Well, I don’t think I really need permission from anybody as long as we’re still operating under the charter. With the charter this board is a democracy and so there should really not be any ‘benevolent dictator’ one way or another. Should this board vote to chuck the charter out and start from scratch, well, then they could also vote on a new governance. In any case, it can no longer be me. I can no longer stand as the administrator of record due to personal reasons.
My solution was as I posted before, see the first page of this thread my post dated 5Dec05.
I know Jny is/was worried about the possible implications then of the phpbb TOS vs our rangers. But actually I don’t think it will make an impact, especially since the
phpbb TOShave recently been updated.
- Failure to comply with our Term of Service will result in removal of your account without any warning
- All members are responsible for everything inside their own website
- All members can be held legally accountable for the contents on their website; including for example; material protected by
copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret law.
- All members are required to keep their email address up to date on the system. Failure to do so will result in your account removal
phpbb was tough before… now they’re even tougher. Underlines by me.
So you see, the responsibility never lies with just one single admin of record but rather with the whole membership. Just one member, regardless of their status, could bring the whole house down – theoretically speaking that is of course.
No impact really on the Rangers per se.
So please Mossy (after reviewing this perhaps with your colegues) do change my username to *Alandriel*, the rank to *Ex-Admin of record* and then change the password on it. Then note this information somewhere and shoot me an email to alandriel_e-b77 at yahoo dot co dot uk if possible – then I can create a new account (which will still be my handle just minus the asterixes).
Thanks!
