I can see Christmas' points; it would be more work for Zero when he already does a great deal managing the server-side of things. Re-uploading and fixing GG, something about hells-demon in WCS (wierd ass mofo's), and two more servers to upgrade and streamline are some of the examples on some of the things on his plate that I don't want to see postponed for an admin forums when he could just be working on that check list of his.
That being said, I must disagree with Christmas -- an admin forums would be a nice addition and a welcomed thing for discussing server rules and such before bringing something final to the community as a whole. Beyond this, we are essentially share holders in this server, and incidentally the community. Whereas the clan members provide the leadership within the community, admins provide a financial base without which the community would dissolve. This is not to mention we likewise provide a very important leadership role within the community as well. In many cases admins are better known than some of the IBIS members on the various servers from which a lot of the community comes from. Do we deserve something out of the way of the community as a whole? I would wager a yes; not a dividend from our contribution to the server but the ability to propose, discuss, and update server-side policy then bring it to the community as a whole as a more finished version.
In addition, we could have a spot where console command lists for the server, examples on demoing hackers, simple guides for new admins (what not to do, etc), and in general anything else that really has nothing to do with the community and tends to clutter the boards as is.
I think it's a solid idea.
Yeah. I'm an admin. What of it?
