Where'd all the admins go?

[psisar]

Are you the only one left, abran? I know just because we don't see them they're not there, but I haven't seen anyone but you post in months. The only other admin I've seen post is Elegantly Wasted, and I haven't seen her in months...

Just curious.

[Grant.]

yeah, and what happened to Laura Moncor and faerielink?

[Sinistar]

Laura might not post too much on here anymore, but you can always follow her fitness tips and info over at www.starling-fitness.com.

[abrannan]

Laura wasn't an admin, per se, she and Sinistar had agreed to me flagging them as Live workout coordinators in recognition of them going above and beyond by setting up Xbox workouts for members here on their own. She left the site (and writing in general, I believe) for Lent, but has continued her blog as Sinsitar noted.

Faerielink3 left over a year ago, before I became a moderator. It was due to time constraints, if I remember correctly.

Elegantly Wasted has logged into the site within the last month, but she does tend to stay fairly quiet. I know she's been getting a band together and that has taken up a ton of time (as all things do/should if you want them to be successful).

quadrollersk8r hasn't posted since August, and was primarily providing updates and information on Stepmania. Jamesgonly never posted a thing here as far as I can tell.

That sums up all of the people that I'm aware of who have admin privileges. Other than that, it's just me. Though it's not like moderating this site is a monumental task, you folks are extremely well behaved for an online community, and most of the drama is stuff that I start (really something I need to work on). I am going on vacation next week, but I'll have net access and will check in from time to time, just not as often as I do currently. The real killer will be later in the summer when I'm away for two weeks with little/no net access. I haven't decided how I'll handle that yet (and I need to talk with the RO folks about that)

Aww thanks! You're right though, I have never seen an online community that didn't require the constant attention of an admin. To be perfectly honest, we'd probably be just fine without you for a week (although what would we do without your replies, you have an answer for everything lol)

Maybe you could appoint an honourary admin for the time you're vacationing? Actually you said you could log in every few days, Im sure we'd be fine for that time.

Btw, I can't think of a time when you ever started drama...

[Grant.]

The only drama i've seen here was that "wonderful persom" ryanddrfreak xD

and of course the SA article

[psisar]

Shhh... if we don't mention it, it never happened...

As for the SA article, that didn't even stir up much drama, everyone found it kinda funny. I found it sorta inconsiderate, but everyone took it with good spirit. Besides, your "centerfold" was hot Grant

[Grant.]

ahahahahahaha

[agent709]

I thought abra ran the place. I dont know this sites history too well at all

[SSC]

I think I've been on this site since about last July or August. It's always been a bunch of nice, friendly, supportive people, as is now.

I've seen mods and members come and go.

I know that I definitely get agitated sometimes on these boards, but that just happens.

Abrann does do most of the moderating, but we all kind of keep each other in check by being polite and respecting other people's opinions.

[abrannan]

Well, after tonight's little episode (Which I happened to catch fairly quickly, thanks to some lucky timing), I definitely think I need to deputize a few folks, vacation or no. Some of you may be receive PMs from me shortly.

[Grant.]

what episode did I miss tonight?

[abrannan]

Don't worry about it.

[xstatic]

okay - OBVIOUSLY there was a lot of nastiness last night - cause I keep going into where it says there are new posts - and there are none... So I take it you had to do a lot of deleting.

[Grant.]

So yeah. I went through all that too. Were they basically being shallow children trying to get some attention or will we never know?

[SSC]

Basically just to sum it up, no questions asked, it was a few people that decided to get nasty and profain.

[Grant.]

ahhhhhh, well that's not as bad as I thought.

[SSC]

Perhaps I stated it wrong...

They, according to Abrann, posted a lot of nasty pictures and who knows what else.

I can imagine what kind of stuff they may have posted.

They also made up new screen names and stuff just to do it.

Case closed.

[Grant.]

ahhhhh, still not THAT bad, or were they directed towards certain people?

[SSC]

I honestly don't know.
