| I'm gonna try and keep this brief. Basically, I know I haven't been around very much, which kinda leaves you guys without an active Admin. As sad as it is to say, this community (and LDD) have kinda fallen out of my view recently, as I'm getting much more into Minecraft mapmaking and general gaming. So I think it would be beneficial to make a few changes and start a few things rolling. 1. One new Admin, one new moderator. Because of the small size of our little community, we don't have many options for who can fill these roles, but right now I'm thinking ED for Admin, based on his relative activeness. As for the moderator position, I'm open to suggestions. Please post who you think is most qualified to be a moderator, even if it's yourself! If you guys have other ideas or want to suggest someone else for the position, say so here, I'm open to changing my mind. 2. Skype/steam group. I'm not the most active on Skype as I am on Steam, but I think both would be good places for extra communication. Please let me know if you'd be interested in either of these! Here is my steam profile, and look up "dragonsrule9" on Skype to find me there. 3. Getting the forum out there. Communities slump when new members haven't joined in a while. If you've got a friend who you think might enjoy participating around here, feel free to send them this way. If any of you still do MOCpages stuff and have a decent audience, maybe make a quick MOC letting people know about this place. I know the concept behind this forum was so we (as the Elite Mechaniers) would have a place to talk amongst ourselves, but I don't think it would hurt to get some fresh blood in here. If one of you decide to make a story-based RP, (talk to me on Steam about that, I've got some ideas!) that would surely be a reason for people to join. That's about it for now. I don't mean to say all this with a "I'm leaving but want to tie up some loose ends" attitude, but rather, I want to get this forum back into shape and equip some of you with what you'll need to keep it running. | |

| I nominate Rich for Mod based on sheer number of posts. Also, you can find me pretty much anywhere online as Klushots (including Steam). But my Steam profile is here if you want it. Also, I don't have a Skype account. Might get one eventually, but currently no. | |

| I don't have steam, and you can find me on Skype by typing in my username under Contacts>Search Skype Directory.
And you want to nominate ME?! As a MOD?! Based solely on my sheer number of posts?! Klu, April fools was over a long time ago! | |

| Well part of the basis of being a mod is how active you are and how well you know the community. I'd say you are a good choice for mod as well. | |

| Well, given the position, I'll do my best. You'll have to explain exactly what's expected of me in that position. | |

| Yeah, nobody wants Klushots. He is such a [explicit deleted]! On top of that, also a [explicit deleted]! Oh hey, Klushots, how are you doing? Did not notice you there. | |

| @TF, Instead of deleting your expletives, try omitting them altogether.
How am I doing so far, BiO? | |

| I wondered if something like this would happen. I also nominate Richie for Mod (if he can handle it). weird thing is that I haven't been getting activity alerts for months... I actually thought this place had really died... Good thing I checked to make sure, right? | |

Is it ironic that I went inactive before I read this post? My Skype is eroomdivad, original I know. My Steam is eroomdm, and is shared with my brother for reasons. I also haven't been getting activity alerts... is this just LTE and me or has it stopped for the rest of you guys too? | |

I think it has something to do with our own activity. If we don't post for a certain length of time, I think it shuts down our activity alerts. so post more and you'll see more activity. | |

| I don't even bother with email updates. I just have a list of sites that I check every day anyway so when I made an account here I just added it in. Hence why I usually respond to stuff within a day or two. But I will be going on vacation tomorrow for about a week to a place where I'm not sure what the WiFi situation will be. | |

Well that sounds ridiculously counter-intuitive... | |

Hi.
I'm really sorry I haven't been around to make people admins and moderators. I really have been forgetting this place, to the point where I kinda doubt I'll ever be an active member again. Not even sure I'll be around long enough to give the new people a proper introduction to admin-ing and mod-ing. Hopefully you guys can figure stuff out on your own.
I've decided I'll be making Richie and Klu the new admins, and Jak a mod. That should be a big enough pool for you guys to start running things on your own, assuming you think this place is still worth sticking with.
Best of luck to you guys. | |

| It's sad that you're not going to be active anymore, BiO, but I should probably be able to figure out most of the ins and outs on my own (if not, I'll just whine at Rich to help me ). Hang on... I looked at the bottom of the screen just now and WE CAN SPLIT AND MERGE TOPICS??? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS??? Anyway, hopefully we'll be able to keep the site afloat until we make landfall and take on more slav- I mean refugees. | |
