Come to think of it what happen to our admins and mods??

This was to prevent excessive spamming of the forums. Didn't like seeing all of the recent posts on the home page was done by the same person...

But ya, it is set to 30secs now. Your feedback would be great.

we admins are busy. with us getting older, our respective lives are getting more demanding. we simply do not have the time and patience anymore to troll thru the forums everyday babysitting; check all the different sources, japanese sites and news feeds everyday for the latest Hikki news.

our responsibility to the site has scaled back. The responsibility that we have taken now is to ensure the site stays up and running, this includes a lot of maintanence from blocking or deleting spam, software updates, to defending against hackers.

there are 6000+ of you (maybe not all exactly active posters) and that is much more man power to update news than us admins. I have always hoped that this site would be able to harness the power of the community to keep each other updated on the latest happenings in the Hikki world, much like some japanese bbs', but I have only seen complainers.
There have been examples of people doing great jobs of news updates for a while. But those are few and not permenant.

i know jj has said this time and time again a while back and i know how busy you all are..but if youre busy and you cant monitor as often as you did...dont you think its better to pick someone who is often active and professional about being a part of this site to monitor for you all in your absence...no offense or anything but i wouldve figure one new admin wouldve been appointed by now...im not saying that i should be one..(honestly i could care less being one or not) but wouldnt having someone to police this forum stop all the complaining and keep this place going strong as it once did...its fading slowly but users around are posting to keep it active...that way if you have an active admin who can answer questions or anything else an admin can do...they can do them for the users...i just some users arent as active because well if users request something...its not answered so they just dont bother...so yea..

I've been meaning to say this for a while, but would it be possible to strip down the site to just the forums? I don't think many people check the other sections of the site and most people come to browse the forums. It's clear that it's difficult to maintain the whole site so I think stripping down the site to just the forums would be more straight forward.

All the information about Hikki(lyrics, biography, etc.) can be made into stickied forum posts. The latest news about hikki could be seen through a rss feed from ublog.net.

What do people think of this idea?
(To admins: Would stripping down the site helphacking/spambot prevention?)


However the short term problem is getting
moderators (not administrator) on the forums. Would it be possible to do a secret poll via pms to a moderator to decide who would be the moderator(s)?

I have two quick suggestions:

1) Passing the baton to those willing and those who have the time

2) Making the site user-editable. Somewhat like Wikipedia.
