I vote yes.

I think perhaps that yes, an extra admin or two may be helpful to the crew, you know, get more shit done. But I don't think that anyone should be going out on an admin search. If someone has the skills and dependency to be an admin they would stand out so much that they would already be one.

Someone who is worthy of admin would already be doing plenty of stuff for the crew, so much so that it would look silly to not make them admin. Look at cableshaft for example, he was adminned so that he wouldn't have to keep bugging the admins to do things for him in relation to his writing competitions and such, it just made sense to give him the job.

So more than we need to more admins, we need more people to get into it and start making sight features and heading off events without being a power hungry kind of guy.

Sure, but at the same time, we really need an admin, so we have to consider our options. I didn't mean for this to turn into "let's elect an admin", because that's not going to happen. I'd just like it if the current admins took a look at who is active and motivated and picked someone. There hasn't really been much serious discussion of this in the grid, despite my bringing it up a couple of times. It just gets brushed off, so I figured I'd make the point publicly so maybe someone will actually listen.

I wasn't really directly myself at you, more at those posting stupid "*****Clock for admin" stuff. But still, I don't think posting this publicly is really the best way to go about getting a new admin. If starting threads in the grid did nothing then perhaps direct contact with admins would be better. I realize you've probably done this before and it's probably hard to get in contact with some of them.

Really the only good way of going about getting an admin if someone up to the tasks really starts doing things, BIG things, for the community. It has to start at the user, not the community telling a user to do it.

Quote from: BootClock;1294638It has to start at the user, not the community telling a user to do it.

I think one of the problems with this is that if any old clock (say, me, for example) tries to start a collab, their success will be kind of limited. Even if their collab requirements are piss-easy (say, all you have to do is draw a 320x240 picture), these things tend to fizzle and die.

On the other hand, when you have an admin representing the site as a whole saying, "OK guys, let's make the Clock Crew TV Collab 2," people are all like, "Hey check it out this here collab is significant I want a piece of that," and all of a sudden, there are more submissions then there are collab slots!

As I'm a edgy teen as it may seem, sometimes it does take the promise of a dumb pixel award to attract some people's attention. Other pevcrclockple are more stubbornly idle, and then, I guess, it takes something bigger to hook them. Anyway, having an admin organizing sitewide events helps the community to maybe do something once in a while. Collab-wise, it seems like there's a lower rate of failure.

Golden speaks the truth.

Quote from: Fat Cop;1294646You know, I wonder...

Nice analogy there, however, if this is the case, the clock crew needs to decide on a direction it wants to take before it develops more(moves out of home). Which is where conflict lies, we are again brought back to the argument of what the clock crew is about, which is a long, irritable one with multiple viewpoints and zero conclusions.

Quote from: VCRClock;1294649I think one of the problems with this is...

I guess you're pretty well right with what you're saying here. Although I don't think it's just admins who are able to head these things off, Super Mods are also well respected and get most people's attention and if you aren't yet there, you can suggest your ideas to a super mod and have them help you head off your project but I guess that still isn't the same.

Phew glad someone's finally set the rules.

We simply wouldn't have known what to do if you hadn't just stated the obvious.

my vote goes to digital lemon and grey, they'd be pretty coo I guess

oh ya and nring goldie back

Well I don't want albino as an admin. I don't know about the whole situation. What exactly are the admins doing wrong?

I agree. The only person who sticks out in my mind for his constant contributions to site activities and such would be zombie lincoln, but he already does a lot and has enough on his plate as it is. I don't think he wants or needs to be an admin. It would probably even be counterproductive.

Signed, I have a feeling soon we are going to be taxed without representation, and we will have to have a meeting at Internetcult.org to declare independece and commence fighting.

Joliet_Jane has a great personality that is very neutral and nonbiased, I think she would be well for the job.

Not to mention she has been on frequently.

most new members now seem to be from some shitty spinoff thinking they'll be 'ambassadors' for their group to get them more recognition
