Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Knight Templar on October 13, 2002, 07:47:44 pm
Out of curiousity, what do you think happened to our missing Admins:

Kier
   
Fantomeye

Hammer of HLP 0wnage
   
CobaltStarr
 
Delphinia
 
_______________________________

Ok so there's really only 3 in there.. Kier is aparently some guy from vB but nobody bothers to bring out the hammer anymore.. although threads are locked all the time. I never see Fantomeye or Colbat anymore.. never seen Delphina...

Cobalt pops his head in from time to time. The Hammer of HLP 0wnage is merely a pseudonym used by the admins for locking threads so they can claim they didn't. As for the others... they were before my time.

Delphinia was made an admin, then disappeared like 4 weeks later.

BTW, Tiara, she was a girl, too :D

As far as I know, she was making a SW database of sorts, and vanished into thin air, I think I'm one of the few SW pilots left here.

maybe that's cause she was a "she"? :wtf:

the hammer is a joke admin.

cobalt starr made the front site, but he took a job or something instead.


I should be admin. :)

....

"joke" :)

hmm we should have a new "Admin Election" once every 4 months or something.. hehe get rid of the "fake admins" and have an Election for who gets to be an Admin for a month, as long as they are qualified and whatnot. Over 35 and all that crap
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Blue Lion on October 13, 2002, 10:26:31 pm
Over 35 would eliminate a lot of people

Against HLP policy.  Only admins get to decide who joins up.  We take up staff to fill holes in our ranks, not 'just because'.

Well, you seem to have some "holes" at the moment (the "dead admins" people are talking about), so why not put one or two others in... :D (especially for doing website updates and such, so there can be someone maintaining the site at all times of the year)

An interviewing admin perhaps (kill two birds (well, threads) with one stone (well, Admin. Shut up with your damned nitpicking will you? It's a figure of speech! :mad2: )

Cobalt = Doing other stuff, occasionally lurks.
Fantomeye = Dunno, occasionally lurks.
Hammer = Used during forumite riots
Delphinia = Was making SW database, has departed for parts unknown
Setekh = RL issues
Shrike = Issues
Thunder = Here, but apparently not.....meh.
Sandwich = Here, enjoying sporadic lack of other online admins and using that time to smite threads and ban users covertly
Styxx = Dunno. Probably LW stuff.
Maeglamor = Off doing stuff. Doesn't seem to lurk.
Carl = Here and he's......err......he's......erm.....What does Carl actually do?

*runs*

Post by: Galemp on October 14, 2002, 11:51:14 am
Seems Windrunner or Cobalt could be handling the news updates, Pic O the Moment, and interviews since they're the web page guys. The moderating admins (Thunder, Styxx, Shrike) are quite busy here on the forums.

You stepped down, but you're still here admining.
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Fineus on October 14, 2002, 11:57:43 am
I stepped down from official duties such as forum monitoring, requests etc... so that I could work on personal projects which have since become integrated (and slowed) by college life. I'm still here, just not in the capacity that I once was :)
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: an0n on October 14, 2002, 11:59:48 am
Okay, so you're here, but half-not?
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Fineus on October 14, 2002, 12:09:44 pm
I'm not here as an admin - but as I'm the co-founder of the site I agreed with Shrike to keep my staff powers and admin the forums if/when necessary. However I'm focusing on what I do and not giving people avatars etc...
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: an0n on October 14, 2002, 12:15:46 pm
So you're a non-admin founder who's here and has admin powers, but doesn't do anything except close threads, ban users and issue warnings?
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: diamondgeezer on October 14, 2002, 12:21:43 pm
One can only hope so
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Fineus on October 14, 2002, 12:26:05 pm
Pretty much, but it's not like I'm abusing that power... so Shrike and the others are happy for me to maintain it. I've also got a hosted site in the works, but like I said college has slowed that somewhat.
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Stunaep on October 14, 2002, 12:48:27 pm

The idea of getting people for interviewing and general page update stuff isn't bad though. This site doesn't consist of only forums, ya know.

you could've fooled me!

oh well, i guess it's good to have a secret admin.  by the way, has any admin that's "left" ever gotten his/her moderating powers removed?
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Fineus on October 14, 2002, 01:34:14 pm
No. The other admins would decide that amongst themselves, it's never been necessary - all it's ever taken is a quick word saying "calm down a bit on that" or whatever and no more of an issue has been made.

Mmmm, food...

So, what you're saying is that, like an admin, you have admin powers, but what distinguisnes you from an actual admin is that you don't abuse said powers.

I get it.

Thunder is like all of us admins, he has no more or less power than any of us that maintain HLP. if there is any trouble or if we have to decide anything its done by voting, noone in the has more power than other
Title: Where are our admins?
Post by: Fineus on October 14, 2002, 03:17:48 pm
Like the man said really, I have no supreme power - nor do I want it. I also have no less power than the other admins of the site. I've simply stepped down from "adminning" and have moved to personal projects. Since I retain hosting and the fact I co-founded the site - I still have admin powers, and when it's clear that something must be done - I use them.

That's all there is to it really, If you insist on labelling me then call me an admin for that is the power I have. But my first sentence is what I really am, and that falls under none of your catagories.

The End :)

Because if we were going to be doing a full update of the site it would involve a lot of work and probably more than just one person working.  Which is why we're holding off for the time being.

It might as well just consist of forums.

Thunder: Anyone I can't make fun of and get away with it is an admin. Thus...

Why is this back on the interview thing? I thought that idea died in the first thread.

But you CAN make fun of them and (maybe) get away with it. Observe:

That's what I did.....err.....Except I think they made Shrike an admin. I'm still unclear in regards to that part. And I kinda leeched onto a previously existing idea. Other than that though........
