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*

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.

I can tell you all what I'm doing with my life if you like... but I'd like to know what an0ns on about, since I am quite obviously here!

You stepped down, but you're still here admining.

Fineus · **Reply #24 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

an0n · **Reply #25 on:** October 14, 2002, 11:59:48 am

Okay, so you're here, but half-not?

Fineus · **Reply #26 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...

an0n · **Reply #27 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?

diamondgeezer · **Reply #28 on:** October 14, 2002, 12:21:43 pm

One can only hope so

Fineus · **Reply #29 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.

*head explodes*

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?

Fineus · **Reply #32 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.

Hmm... Steak and Sandwich... both can be eaten...

Stryke 9 · **Reply #34 on:** October 14, 2002, 01:45:21 pm

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.

Evidently, you don't

an0n · **Reply #37 on:** October 14, 2002, 02:50:20 pm

So you're a super-mod?

Windrunner · **Reply #38 on:** October 14, 2002, 03:04:18 pm

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

Fineus · **Reply #39 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.
