I would like everyone to congratulate LinkSkywalker on his promotion to the rank of Administrator. He will be helping Kaynil with the running of the boards, especially during her computer problems.
I told him he could select a replacement moderator for himself if he deems someone worthy. So I would like to extend a congrats to that future moderator aswell.
This is honestly very unexpected.
Given the site's relatively low traffic, I don't know if I'll be too aggressive about bringing another moderator onto the team. But I'll keep an eye out for anyone who seems suited to the role.
Way to start out being negative
I've never been accused of excessive optimism. =P
It's not as though the forums are moving at a snail's pace. They're just moving at a comfortable pace, which the current staff have been able to keep up with easily. I suppose it falls to me to pick up some of Kaynil's posting slack, since she's unable to be around right now.
Though I'm considerably less likable than she is.
ZC Forums have had drastic changes over the years.
YaBBSE, phpBB 1, phpBB2, SMF 1, SMF 2, MyBB, Xenforo
I also plan on buying a few Woltlab Burning Board licenses for trials to see if people like those.
Most iterations I have never backed them up....In those days I was bad with MySQL management and never bothered.
I have ZC forums backups from 2008 where we had hundreds of users, and thousands upon thousands of posts. But I chose to start fresh.
People will come back. They always do. People can encourage it by advertising and growing awareness.
Oh for sure, the forums are doing great. They've got a strong community that is growing at a steady pace. All signs point to continued growth. We're doing just fine.
Congratulations LS. I feel more tranquil on my situation with you on board. I will try to be around but my access is limited.
I'll hold down the fort until you're back at your post, mon capitaine.
Grats. I really wish I had more chances to be active on here, but, you know, Christmas.
Congratulations Linkskywalker :D
It's always good to see more staff members so it's easy to get anything solved at anytime :D
Oh good job. Congarts, man, makes perfect sense to me.
