I doubt he would ever make one any time soon (Admin) unless it is if he is away like he was last Fall making a temporary Admin.

As of right now there's not really a need for another admin.

Although it could be a possibility in the future, when we get more members.

You're one to talk. >:0

You are right though. Maybe introducing more members to the forums will increase one's chances of admin-ship.

PS: I know I'm talking to myself.

Are you ok? Lol

I am, but Eagle might want to see a psychologist.

.....I'm regretting the time when you made a second account now...

I'll try to stop talking to myself.

What are some requirements to be an Admin?

Not that I am asking to be one, of course......

Yes you are. I think he answered your question already though, he wants to wait until there are more members, like 200 or something. I also doubt he would choose so fast to one but you have helped out a ton (except for last November....) and would be a choice IMO if he did choose someone.

1. Being totally trustworthy is the biggest requirement, because although the founder of the forum has abilities even higher than the average admin, a rogue admin could still cause a TON of damage if he/she wanted to (like mass deleting threads, changing the forum layout, or banning accounts).

2. A decent amount of computer knowledge is needed, because it would be very easy to accidentally mess up the forums. Also, if an admin didn't know enough about how forums and websites work, how would they really help as an admin anyway?

3. An admin needs to actively work towards the maintenance and development of the forums (as in managing behind-the-scenes issues, and producing forum updates), not just master-moderate everyone (that's the job of the moderators lol).

4. The capacity to handle power and responsibility in a mature manner, not going power-crazy or demanding respect but instead using your abilities to improve the forums and help others.

Some other basic requirements are: Being active, having a positive attitude, following the forums rules, being helpful, etc.

I doubt I would ever want it personally (Unless it would be just to be a Mod to every section. LOL) because I wouldn't know how to run the web layout and such. I think the only cool stuff is being able to mod every section and have a red legend mark which looks cooler than the green legend mark. These are the only good things IMO as I would never do good at the web layout. Parrot here has been to classes for things like this and trainings.

Yes, you saw a little bit of the administrator controls when you came to my house.

I think your ambitions are wise (becoming a moderator of every section rather than an admin). Moderators have about as much power as anyone would need under normal circumstances.

And yes, we don't really need another admin at this time. I would say get to the point where we have around 30-40 people logging in every 24 hours and a couple of users online almost 24/7. As of right now we usually have around 10-20 people logging in every 24 hours and at least 1 user online almost 24/7.

When I say someone on 24/7, I don't mean a specific person, I mean just any account (not the same one).

According to current statistics, I'm guessing we would have to get over 200 members to achieve that, possibly 300. Right now we have around 150.
