New Addition To The Administration

[TWCToday]

I am pleased to announce our resident meteorologist, Patrick will be becoming part of the TWC Today administration team.  I want to express that he has requested not to be contacted on every issue including site/forum problems. Please respect his wishes!  I expect everyone to treat him as you would any other staff member.

On another note early this morning, the server on which TWC Today operates was breached and the site/forum were down for a few hours. Some items need repairing and its possible a brief outage may occur at any moment today.

Thanks for giving me this honor, Martin.  I'm well aware of some of the concerns presented by some of the members here, and I hope that I can help everyone with them.  Please realize that I won't be here every single moment due to my own personal life matters, but I shall do my best to keep in touch regularly.  If there any major site issues or problems, please send a PM to Martin or Stephen.  I'm acting to help keep the peace within the forum and try to be yet another resource for everyone, so I'll entertain concerns and questions over member behavior and other minor issues.  If the problems are serious enough, I will pass them on to the other admins.  Thanks to everyone for your time and understanding, and I'll do my best to serve all of you on TWC Today!

This is interesting but Patrick certainly deserves the administrator position since he's always done a good job on keeping an eye on things in the forums and focusing on any attention. But IMO, I think there are too many admins in the forum now. One or two of the exisiting admins should be stepped down considering they either don't do much or they're inactive. Of course, when they became more active you can bump up their position again but I'm sure many others agree with me here..With decreasing activity here 6 admins is overkill.

I agree with Molly. I see that there are admins who hardly come on here and others who don't do their jobs.

@Zach, Molly: Having 3 admins was great. Having 4 is greater. If something happens to the forum while 3 of the admins are away, the fourth will be able to be alerted by a user of the forum. And even if they are inactive, we can tweet most of them to get their attention. If not that, they're almost always online in the IRC channel.

I think none of the admins should be removed. Even if they're not here, they've always done an amazing job while they are here. So I think that this was a great move. I have more to say, but I'll stop there.

Yeah, I also have to agree with Molly. Three admins (even four) are fine. But having six admins is a little extensive, IMO. I still think Patrick should stay as an admin, but as Molly said, maybe some of the inactive ones should be moved down in status...just a thought.

Congrats to Patrick!

What happened to Brian's admin status?

What happened to Brian's admin status?

He only had it to try and integrate the emulator sign up in to the forums. It was only meant to be temporary.

Way to quickly remove Brian's admin status to prove me wrong. Maybe five is OK...I'll get over it.

4 is fine with me. I'd say either Kyle or Stephen get downgraded since Kyle hardly ever visits here and Stephen really doesn't do much unless there are forum errors

Stephen does behind the scenes website/forums stuff. By you saying "Kyle hardly ever visits here" is saying "Gary hardly ever visits here," which is true... I doubt they're going to demote Administrators like that. 5 is just a number. Why can't you just get over it and accept it? Why have you and some other users become such assholes lately? Sorry that I have to be blunt like that, but it's the truth.

Uh why are you blaming me? yes it is a number and fine I'll get over it but in the long term you'll regret not heeding my advice
