Hello Guys. As I'm sure most of the long running members of have noticed, I have not been nearly as activate on here as I once was, and as for modding I simply don't have time, energy or ambition to do it anymore. I partly feel bad about this, souly based on the fact that this community needs another head admin who is highly active and has time and energy they would like to sink into the community to make it better for our members. I am not retiring as an admin myself, I just want another person with full admin powers to make changes to the community as they see fit.
The question is...who? And this is not to disrespect any of my moderators, they are moderators for a reason, but I wanted to open our horizon to everyone. Ultimately it will be my decision who I will be direct partners with on here, but with a change this big, I want the community as a whole to come together and voice your opinions on who you would think would be a good fit.
I want this thread to stay on topic, no flaming of other peoples opinions.
Andddd...Go!

IMO, I believe ΛLISTΞR should be one. He's been a active user for a long time. He isn't rude to anyone. He's just a great guy in general. From how well I know Ali, I believe he'd be a amazing admin.

You always have something to say about ZA no matter what its about.

This is a different approach Wizard, normally it would be a good idea to promote one of your moderators to that spot so I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I personally would not recommend myself, but I do think it should be a current moderator who gets the admin spot, maybe DarkSamus for instance while we also should promote a member to fill DarkSamus's vacant moderator position should be be made admin, just my opinion on this.

My vote goes to Beefy Busch. He's a decent guy, posts quite a bit and I've never seen him coming even close to offending someone.

I agree DarkSamus is an extraordinary moderator and i think he should become and admin and you should replace his moderator spot instead so the replacement isnt getting to jump straight ahead cause if you ask me DarkSamus has earned his right to be an admin And after Everything that amazing man has gone through it would be nice to see him with a nice shiny red name!

I'm not sure if he'd want to take the post again tho. JTegh would be a good canditate, however I'm quite a good friend of JTeghs so my word would be biased in the matter. I'm not too familar with some people on the forums, I mostly know people if I've seen mods from them or remember other posts so I wouldn't know who to pick. And also I myself would love the opportunity myself but seems like a lot of power to wield, being a moderator would seem less stressful but hey, not the position your asking about. I would try to keep order but there's probably someone here better to take the position. Saying that could you expand on the power such person would wield? I'm assuming the same as you here. Edit: Excellent point ToCool74 I agree, Dark should most likely take the position. He's an excellent moderator and I'm sure he would gladly help you out!

I agree DarkSamus is an extraordinary moderator and i think he should become and admin and you should replace his moderator spot instead so the replacement isnt getting to jump straight ahead cause if you ask me DarkSamus has earned his right to be an admin exactly. Wizard if I recall you where promoted straight to admin yourself where you not? Although it worked out for you I don't think this is the kind of thing is all that common on forums for a reason, I think a person should be staff and know how to be staff on a forum before just jumping to such a important position. Once again just my two cents.

Not to speak against the guy, I'm sure he'll voice his opinion soon enough, but shouldn't we cut DarkSamus some slack in terms of extra responsibilities? I think he may have more important things to worry about....

I think he may have more important things to worry about.... Its not exactly a huge leap from what he already does around here to be honest, just a few added perks and responsibilities that I think he would be capable of handling. Then again he can speak for himself once he gets on, and this is assuming Wizard will rethink his stance on promoting a member straight to admin.

You two would be a nice candidate for that XD i agree about Darksamus but lets not forget he is quite busy with other stuff Not sure about Teimurazor but hes a cool guy and he can do well with pressure but i cant tell if he would want to be a admin in this situation xD Anyhow i think its not up to us but Up to the actual Admins and staff members of this site do diced who the new Head admin should be we are just pawns in the hands of the masted mind who ever that may be XD

Yes ToCool I went from a peon to the head admin on the original community, that was back when I still lived with my parents and I had more time then I possibly knew what to do with and I had a huge passion for the community.
Initially I thought about just upgrading both moderators to admins, but seeing how my road was paved that I was just a peon to an admin, I thought it was only fair I gave someone else the same opportunity that I was given. I am not saying I am against making DarkSamus an admin, I am more than okay with it, I just wanted to hear the community's feedback on it as well.

My vote goes to Beefy Busch. He's a decent guy, posts quite a bit and I've never seen him coming even close to offending someone. Awww thanks Rtoo for the vote of confidence! I believe I would not be a good candidate as I am going to be busy outside of the forum (My studies and the Gym are my priorities) and the forum is a place for me to escape to and be carefree (within reason). I also a have to tendency to offend people outside of the forum via Steam hahaha. Another factor is that it would be a learning curve that I myself could not devote time to. I do have a few suggestions though that the admin/moderator could be within a time zone that mediates between other the moderators and admins, that way the forum always has someone on "watch" as it were. A requirement is that they should be very competent in the English Language as this is primarily an English speaking forum (Just voicing that out there because that is a no brainer) I understand that Wizard is looking for someone who is involved and has the time to commit to making changes where needed in the context of the situations. I will however say that if something is not broken there is not need to change it. I think the rules are pretty clear and the community is pretty solid at making this forum function for the most part. Anyway I would recommend DarkSamus, if he has the time and wants to be admin. I'd also recommend ΛLISTΞR and Snipz, since they seem willing to take on the new responsibility.
