I've had some time on my hands...

[Nupraptor]

Well, while work does consume a good amount of my time, I have been around pretty often (albeit at unusual hours). And as such, I was considering returning in an official capacity at this board. It's not that I think SWFans is short-handed, by any means. It's just that I'm more familiar with most when it comes to vBulletin and things like Template editing and implementing Hacks.

I don't believe that we need another Moderator, as I think 3 is plenty. And besides which, Moderators do not have the ability to alter the things I mentioned. Thus, if I returned, it would be in the position of an Administrator. But I didn't want to simply come back and declare myself anything. So I'm asking you guys (and ladies): What do you think?

Please don't be afraid to speak your mind on this - Biting your tongue to be polite now will only lead to problems in the future. If you think having me as an Admin would only be superfluous, or you think that I'm not responsible enough to hold the position (a large part of the previous situation was my fault, I'll admit), then please say so.

Actually, in all seriousness, I think it would be helpful having you on as an Admin and helping me and Davwj out with some of this stuff. Different and knowledgeable perspectives are quite helpful.

[Nupraptor]

I didn't mean more familiar with it than you are: I meant more familiar than the other Moderators are. (Hence why I thought I could help out, instead of just suggesting the promotion of another Moderator to Admin status).

And I realize that some things may be worded poorly, but it's 6:17am, EST and I still haven't gotten any sleep since getting home from work. :p

[TheHolo.Net]

I was just poking a little fun. It wasn't meant to be taken too seriously, hence the "in all seriousness" that followed shortly after. :)

Sleep you say! What is this sleep you speak of?

[Nupraptor]

Well, just clarifying what I meant, regardless: It could have been easily taken that way.

[TheHolo.Net]

I think it appropriate that the one who made the move here possible, have the access to the software that he should get, being the paying customer to the provider of it.

[imported_Eve]

Yeah, what he said. You paid for it, why the hell wouldn't you be?!?

I didn't even know you weren't an admin anymore, but that shows you how much attention I pay.

[Nupraptor]

It's just that I'm more familiar with most Also, that should read "I'm more familiar than most". My typing skills obviously are lacking at the moment.

And I don't think my paying for anything should be a factor in this: I didn't do it for any other reason than to insure that SWFans would continue to have a reliable home.

[imported_Firebird1]

I thought you were the admin?



Who the heck is driving?

:D


Yeah, it would be logical to see you return as an admin. Don't worry, your skills outclass me.

[Jedah Lynch]

:)

You can do a good job of being the admin due to your knowledge of the reasons you pointed out.

Just do a good job and what is right.

That is all that really needs to be said.

[Vega Van-Derveld]

I thought you were the admin?

Ditto here O_o

[Champion of the Force]

Nup's greatest achivement was convincing the world he wasn't already an admin when he wasn't. ;)

[Nupraptor]

I may be overtired, but that didn't make a lick of sense, Dave. :huh

Anyway... I made a post a while back stating that I was resigning my powers as Admin/Mod for an indefinite period of time, and cited the reasons then. This was well over a month ago, probably longer. It was just a single post in someone else's thread. I've never been one for much fanfare, so I don't blame you for missing it. But my name was removed from all the Moderator lists for a reason. :)

I really meant what I said, though: I hardly expect everyone to be overjoyed by this. If anyone can think of a reason why I shouldn't be allowed to return, please bring it up.

[Mhalbrecht Dalarsco]

I noticed that it didn't say Nup were an admin, and I wondered how he wasn't an admin.
He created the board, and I thought that auto made him a permanent admin.

[Champion of the Force]

... but that didn't make a lick of sense, Dave.

:: thinks Arrrgghh, he's right! Quick - an excuse ... ::

Ahem, it was ... uhhh ... never supposed to. Yes. :p

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:mischief Here's a reason it didn't make sense: His repetition of the contraction "wasn't."

It should have read:

" Nup's greatest achivement was convincing the world he was already an admin when he wasn't. "

I believe Dave meant it as a pun on the popular saying about the devil.

"The devil's greatest acheivement was convincing the world he didn't exist."

All better now?? ;) :)

[Champion of the Force]

Actually I took it off this:


The Beast's greatest trick was convincing the world he hadn't already been unleashed.
I got confused in my previous post due to my adding on of an extra part to the end. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Ah....all perfectly clear now. :)

[Nupraptor]

Just waiting for more comments. :)

[Admiral Lebron]

Moo!

[DarthNuriko]

:lol

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I think its a good idea. Nup should be an administrator.

:)

[Champion of the Force]

With Dales now gone, yes promote him already. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Dalethria is gone?!

O_o When did that happen? Who will edit out offensively large sigs now?! *panics*

[Nupraptor]

Dalethria has resigned, at least temporarily, becuase of a lack of spare time on her part. And, if there's not going to be any other replies, I'm left to assume that everyone who's going to reply has done so. Although the responses haven't been overwhelmingly positive, I'd still like to help out. I talked with Ogre some, and I think it'd make more sense for me to be listed as a General Board Admin (like Dave) as opposed to a roleplaying Admin.

[Champion of the Force]

Sorry - I should have said:


Dales is gone, but with possibility of returning in the near future.
That better? :)


... think it'd make more sense for me to be listed as a General Board Admin (like Dave) as opposed to a roleplaying Admin.
But I'm a Star Wars administrator, not General, unless that is what you meant. :huh

[Nupraptor]

"General" as in "the whole board". :p

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I thought you wanted a rank, like sergeant or colonel. GENERAL ADMIN! *salutes* ;) :p :lol

So Dale is coming back? (Just a possibility I guess..?)

[Nupraptor]

She said that it's a possibility, when she has more free time.

[DarthHERA]

Sure, Nup should be Admin, I see no reason for him not to be.

[BUFFJEDI]

Ditto.along with Davwj that would be cool.

[Leeloo Mina]

Nup is the coolest guy ever and should be an admin 'cause I say so!!!
SO THERE!!

...yeah.

okay, so he's not the coolest guy ever and stuff but yeah =]
