Well folks, I haven't been active much, and Dain has been gone for the better part of a year. The mods and I have been discussing election of a new admin to handle things if (when) I am not around. Who should take the job? Please vote and be civil. Example of NOT being civil...

Billy Joe: I think Kralik would be a great admin. I mean... he likes to code... and... um.... stuff.
Thelma Sue: WTF Billy are you RETARDED? Kralik is never around and getting too busy with real life! You need to get your head out of your...
Kralik: AHEM.

Better just say what you think and leave it at that, without overly criticizing others' opinions.  :roll: :uh-huh:

Thanks! 8-)

Elessar's Socks has my vote.

Since joining this site, have always thought his avatar is the coolest.

I am not that familiar with forums and such, this being the first forum I'm active in. Can somebody explain to me the difference between the Administrator and Global Moderator?

TheJord, for sure. He's around as much as I am, and is a really reasonable fellow.
Title: Re: New admin
Post by: Kralik on September 06, 2010, 09:03:28 AM
Lurtzy: Yes.

hrcho: Global Moderators can edit, move and delete posts. Administrator can take care of that and more of the backend, such as setting up new forums, adding forum features, banning troublesome users, etc.

I never see you around anymore, FM! What are you implying?

I still log in daily and read posts, though. I just don't post that much anymore, specially now that I'm taking tests every other week, as well as also having classes on weekends.

I voted F_M, though I see I'm the only person to do so.

Reason- F_M's been around the longest and has been consistently active- he knows this community.

And ZOMG don't give it to SoP ever...

My vote goes to ES.

I'm not really concerned, but TheJord's avatar shows a king, therefore he has always seemed to me a very... administrative person. He gets my vote.

Being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch, like a safecracker or a pickpocket.

Or a guy who burns down a bar for the insurance money.

Yes, if he makes it look like an electrical thing. If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

I voted for Felipe Musco.

There are other reasons too. This is the one I chose to mention.

Too funny, and quite true. Thanks for the wisdom.

Dude, are you serious? Let's analyze this a little more:

Elessar's Socks is some dirty ranger.

Felipe Musco is a puss... in boots.

Lem0nhead is a lemon.

Sickofpalantirs is a hand above a palantir.

Thranduil is... I'm not pretty sure what that thing might be, but I'm pretty sure it's not something good.

TheJord is Elendil.

I think it's pretty obvious who should win here.

Thranduil is... I'm not pretty sure what that thing might be, but I'm pretty sure it's not something good.

It's a scene from Doctor Who. Amazingly enough, it is from one of 3 episodes of Doctor Who I watched.

Going to jump on the Felipe bandwagon. Always thought he'd make a good admin. :up:

Post by: Kev-La on September 09, 2010, 08:51:46 AM
I'm not sure what an admin is, but if he wants to be one, I vote for Thranduil. He's been exceptionally helpful and friendly.

May we know the people who volunteered please?

It might be better if only people who actually want the job are on the list to be voted for...

Post by: NappyKorn on September 10, 2010, 04:53:40 PM

In that case, I'm going for Thranduil.

NK what the #$&*@!, where have you been?

Real life type stuffs. Had to take a huge step back and refigure everything. I was putting to much worth in all the wrong things and not enough in the things more important. I won't troll this thread with off topic things, but I can say it's nice to be able to use the forums again even though I have little knowledge of what I've missed over the past........wow, I don't know how long it's been.

+1 for lem0nhead, even though I kinda want to vote for Jordy now so I'll give each a half vote if possible to maybe avoid a tie later  :P. +1/2 for Jordy and +1/2 for lem0n.
Title: Re: New admin
Post by: Kralik on September 11, 2010, 08:54:30 AM
Yeah, well... I kinda just threw this poll up without first asking which mods wanted the position. :roll:

"Congrats, you are now in charge of the site!"
"Wait, wut?"

Good to see you Nappy!

Love you too :P
Also removed myself from the poll since I don't actually want the position.  (read didn't have any votes and felt embarrassed)
Title: Re: New admin
Post by: Kralik on September 13, 2010, 06:46:17 AM
We have a tie! The mods will vote on the remaining two and we will get back to you.
Title: Re: New admin
Post by: Kralik on September 18, 2010, 09:06:09 AM
And the tie goes to TheJord! =D>

True, now that you have the power you could demote me, though that might not be the best idea. ;)
