As you know, I think that's a good idea raven. I hope you will consider standing again before too long, though.

Will you stay on as sysadmin, meanwhile?

ETA: and thankyou for making the reboot work. TR is a great board IMO. I hoped it would be, but lacked your faith.

I think the current Trio of admins is near perfection. Could nothing ever change, please?

Yeah, I'd vote for the current trio. I think ravenscape could use a longer-than-regular stand-down though. And we could use a refreshed raven.

Resigning for Admin? I didn't know Raven had to sign a contract.

The way it's worded, I suspect she'll run for re-election in a day or two. Don't panic. And hang on to your towels.

I haven't decided about running for my vacated admin spot. if nothing else it's a way to personally support the idea of fixed terms. I'v been in favor of the idea since it first came up in 2009.

we also need to reevaluate the number of admins. having 3 makes it more difficult to do stand downs, which is a factor in short tempers, indecisiveness, shoot from the hip decisions, and other issues with how admins do their jobs.

earlier, I think I said 3 is probably enough. It isn't.

Fixed for life is a valid fixed term.

Ever think of having Admins assigned to the different areas?

2 for Community
3 for Discussion
2 for Formal Debates and the Town Hall

it's been talked about. informally it kinda happens because admins tend to pay more attention to the forum areas they already are involved in.

A problem would be in dealing for harassment/disruption as it can quite easily happen across several forums.
