Masken,

Your suggestion about creating a crew forum & giving this group administrative control is both interesting & has strong merits but I must say personally that I have misgivings with this idea.

I have always though of this board as Henri's board & Henri is the administrator period. Henri keep this board motoring along during the 2 or 3 years it took to build a cliental & while he rarely participates in any forum he is rock solid as an overall administrator. I kind of feel uneasy about assuming Henri's role. Is this for us to decide?

Second, the growth of this board has been very organic & user driven. It has grown into a very remarkable community. To create an elite crew separated from the ordinary users seems somehow wrong.

Having given my personal somewhat negative opinion, I think your idea does have merits & I will try to work it into the poll.

Les,

After some thinking, I have come up with some random thoughts on your suggestion.

1) Do you think being a moderator in both the Scripts & starter forums would be appropriate?
2) With your proposal, it is possible for a non-functional moderator to become a moderator in 2 key forums without the support of the users at large. Is this a good idea? I think we might need something like Masken's crew idea to prevent this.

I believe the points you & jens are making are valid but maybe your suggestion needs some modifications. Do you have any other good ideas in this area?
