And again I say...

Wow. Wasn't that proactive and helpful?

With all due respect, if you are going to 'moderate' a web forum, your $.02 should be more than an obvious one-liner.

I'll buy the whole site HAR HAR HAR!!!

That was'nt his 2 cents, he was stating a fact.

Off topic but wtf is $.02 mean?

jophassa · 03-27-2006, 07:43 PM

yeah, i know that was uttely pointless but i just wanted to write what i was thinking. the only reason i would want to be a mod is so that people look up to me and i could solve their boggles etc.

Brian · 03-27-2006, 07:47 PM

2 cents like someone says something to ya, and then they say "thats just my 2 cents", just a phrase like "all that and a bag of chips" or "thats cool.....and the gang" or "that's off the meat rack" or "thats wrong as 2 boys fucking" just one of those type deals...

As for the need of another admin I'm not sure. I think it would be quite a good idea for things to be done quicker, but at the end of the day Omar generally does things he wants quickly so maybe these things just aren't a good idea to him. Plus I can't really think of any member who would make a good admin (keep in mind that an admin can basically change the forum in any way).
If Omar did look for a new admin I'd throw my name into the hat since I've been admins at other forums, but honestly I don't think another is needed. It would need to be someone he trusted immensely since big changes could occur without his permission.

I don't know how old Omar is, but I'm guessing he's at least in college or (more likely) working fulltime so he can't be on the forum 24/7 unlike some of us younger members who don't have as many ties in life. I've been to forums that are awfully moderated and controlled by admin, this one really isn't bad at all. Very good in that department infact.

You'd be able to do your job in any forum as moderator, but your focus point would be on certain sections rather than all; making your job easier.

I think you would be a great admin. As you said, he is very busy, so the extra admin would be wonderful. As long as a backup of the site was sent to him on a daily basis, he could easily maintain the main control of the site. I don't know how forums exactly work, but maybe its possible to have a middle range admin that can do changes but also be banned by the main admin if he loses control.
