    Skipping neatly over Pen trying to stoke the embers for some reason, the people DEMAND to know what's going on in your private Modmin Section. Are you fuckers hiding Mark in there?

    I don't wish to sound rude, but I'm not remotely interested in continuing this conversation so I'm not going to.

    In regard to Pen's line of questioning, sometimes there comes a point when even my arse runs out of grapes. As for the Office, nothing. Phonics has vanished this afternoon so it's still the graveyard it's always been. Probably for the best really.

    You do what you must. Just maybe ask a healthcare professional how they view this.

That said, we have Henry who is God knows where, John who is likewise, and ItalAussie who only pops up to pretend to be Italian when the situation arises about twice a year. At this stage what exactly are they adding and what’s to stop any of them rocking up and kicking out half the users or closing the place? I’m not even advocating for adding any more admins, the ones that are here regularly do fine and it doesn’t really need it anyway, but those few surely need to be removed at this stage.
    You raise a good point here. Most of the people that were made admins when we moved here no longer post. And even those that do very rarely do anything. Yev closing the other thread because people were being mean about his sitcom is probably the first thing he's done since we moved here 6 years ago. I can't see any reason for him to be an admin, so I've removed him.

    I've also removed Ital, Henry and John, none of which have posted in ages.

    But. Just to offer a bit of reassurance, noone can realistically kill the forum other than me. I have sole access to the hosting and domain, and we have automated daily backups. So any damage that a rouge admin could potentially do would be a headache to undo, but a few hours of hassle at the most.

    That wasn't why I closed it. Why is Kiko still a mod/admin?

    Oh and I now can't sort the new sitcom thread into order, so I'm afraid all of the shit in it will have to stay as it is.

    Fair. Look, it's no biggie, but expect some PM's from me to delete posts when I start posting in the new sitcom thread and the morons hijack it, as I now won't be able to delete any of that shit myself.

    SvN I think I should be an admin so I can delete posts from my Plane Tracking thread when morons hijack it by posting low-tier sources.

    I will give you 12 hours to grant my request or expect me to start posting baseball news in the cricket thread.

    Kiko is a very active poster isn't he, so there would be no reason to remove him as a mod. For the same reason as I wouldn't have removed Yev either, though in fairness he's going a long way to proving SvN right since he did it.

    There are two things at play here. What's written in your original opening post and your actual motivation for writing it. The two are not the same and we all know that's the case.

    No you don't, because it's not the case. It's something I meant to ask for a good while and then I wasn't about and had forgot about it, and you jogged my memory.

    Why would a forum have anyone looking after things, or even be able to, that isn't here any more? Like I said though, was SvN really wrong to make the decision he did considering how you've taken it?

    Well it shouldn't were there anything to actually look after, which there isn't and is what makes your point, such as you claim it is, so absolutely bizarre.

    Apologies, completely missed this post.

    There was nothing to be proven right on, as there's absolutely nothing to do here as a mod or admin.

    But, I've no idea as to the real reason SvN removed me. Maybe he was worried I'd go rogue and fuck things up.

    Since you asked, here's what I posted in The Office:

    1 - I didn't even realise he was one. He's done zero moderating or admin work since this place was launched in 2015.
    2 - It really didn't sit well with me that the only time he's used his "powers" was to lock a thread because people were saying mean things about his shitcom.
    3 - Given that he's basically Smiffy with a typewriter these days, I didn't feel comfortable with the potential headache if he went off on one and started deleting crap.
    4 - TTH is not his private blog that he controls. If he wants to start threads about his writing, then fine. But a personal secret forum that's invite only? Get fucked.
