Guys, after reading to what had happened last night, I am very speechless on what to say. Good thing I missed out otherwise who'd know if I'd be posting right now. :noexpression:


@Jesse, I agree and disagree with you in many ways. Just ignoring it would probably be the best thing to do. However, when you say "kicking people off the staff is cruel", it is cruel because all it might just do is cause people to argue more and then there would be issues such as what happened here.

@Alex, asking Jesse if he had to swear at Molly just influences the issue.

@Jonathan, you have a point about saying there doesn't have to be admins online all the time.

@Martin, there are indeed people who do want to pick fights, but in all honesty, I think they do it just for attention.

@Tyler, you're absolutely correct! If people just don't like it here, then why the heck do they even visit this place?


So overall, I think Patrick is a great addition to the admin team and as for Gary, since he is the creator of the forum, I doubt he could be removed.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet. :lock: But I will stay out of everything. :) I like Patrick's "admin-sounding" voice, even after being raised to that status for a day. Good work. :thumbsup:

This thread hasn't been locked because I feel this needs to run its course and people need to get whatever is bothering them out. I will do my best to make sure everyone is happy. As I have said before the lack of TWC interest has caused some issues on top of others. I have a strong feeling that the next few months will bring out some more activity.

Another I should note is that perhaps people are misinterpreting the position of "admin". An admin does not necessarily mean they make major forum changes, policies, etc. Its more of a glorified moderator although some of us do other options as well. I am considering if I should revive the "moderator position" for some admin but quite frankly it never bothered me enough to do it. Something to think about at least considering the things I have heard.

You know, I think I need to admit to misjudging the administration of this site. Now that I think it over, Patrick is a wise choice for an administrator. In addition to having TWC knowledge and experience many of us don't have (I know, it does not pertain much here... but I'm making a point :P ), Patrick seems to have the firm but fair way at going about things. I must say I admire Martin's statement about letting this topic take its course. I do agree that there is quite a bit of administration here, but so long as no one rules with a heavy hand, I don't see what is wrong with the administration we now have.

I know I don't get a chance to pop up here too often these days, but removing me from my admin position? I think that's a little harsh lol.  :bleh:

Anyway, my real reason for posting here is to congratulate Patrick. I think Martin made a very wise choice in making you an admin. Welcome to the team!  :biggrin: B)

Thank you, Gary!  I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of it, but I still have a lot more to learn! :bleh:
