Just a quick announcement to make:
Pulse8 (Innis) has been promoted to be part of the Forum staff. It's not like the board needed an extra moderator or anything, it's more like an award to what he has offered so far and to his continuous dedication to the board and quality of posts.
Forum staff will be a group of members with limited powers but still enough to enforce a sense of order. For any help you need with the board you can either contact me directly or any of the Forum staff.

It's ridiculous, my posts are far more interesting than Innis'. ;D Be careful Michael, this is a dangerous route that you are taking, more forum staff could result in a mutiny!!! Be careful out there!!!!

Thanks, Mike. I would like to think that having more staff members than just yourself may attract more regular visitors to the forums; just looks a little more "professional", I guess... More staff to come, I hope. I feel a little alienated all by myself Paul, you be careful, buddy. I have my eye on you pulse8

I don't think the number of staff plays a big part in people's participation but anyway, it's good to have someone around (besides me) who can step in or help when needed. :smile:

A little late to join the discussion, I guess! But here I go anyway: Congrats Innis! Mike, I think it's wise to have a staff as I often wondered what would have happened to this board if something -God forbid!- happened to you. Will Innis be able to continue the board on his own, if you (f.i. ) get run over by a car tomorrow? Or are his powers too limited? If so; you should really consider an upgrade! Risk control you know ... Later! sAner

Well, I never thought of that but I'm sure if I'm suddenly gone then someone else can take over and create another forum anyway. The only reason I gave Innis this privilege is because I think he's worth it, nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks, Pieter. I haven't thought of Mike disappearing off the face of the earth either, and nor do I want to! And thanks Mike, I think I'm worth it, too pulse8

The only reason I gave Innis this privilege is because I think he's worth it, nothing more, nothing less. Michael I understand that Mike, but just realise what would happen if you would be gone ... Of course someone else could start a new proboard, but what would happen to the vast amount of information which is present on this board?? The gw-community would have a problem. They would need a new proboard with a new administrator who has all the powers (ban members, delete and move threads and even entire boards, etc., etc.) and they would have to keep visiting this board for reference and access to older information. The community would have a major problem, to say the least. If you trust Innis enough , you should really consider giving him enough powers so he could run the board on his own, if case you fade away. Just my 2 cents of course. sAner

Ah Pieter, you can understand that this is impossible. The Administrator has powers above everyone else, even moderators and I can't change that. Innis can moderate the board with what he has right now with no problems but without an administrator this board is doomed to be replaced by something else at some point.
If it wasn't me, there would have been someone else and that's why I think the community won't die without me or my board.. :smile:
