Subject: A new Admin's come
Date Posted: August 29 2014 at 22:51
After three great PA souls - Bob (Easy Livin), Jim (Garten), and Dean - left the Admin Team, we (Andy Webb, Guldbamsen, and me) three inexperienced young (I'm a bit elderly thou ) Admins have tried to keep moderating the large website and forum, with being pressed with our real life and works.
And today ... we're very delightful to announce we can invite a new Admin http://www.progarchives.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=36097" rel="nofollow - finally.

Great to hear a new admin team is shaping up, after the old guard went on pension (and deservedly so).

Don't know who that is, but he has the Doctor as his avatar, so he can't be all bad. We'll break his spirit slowly then.

Congrats Ian. I think you will handle this very nicely; judging from what I observed about your forum presence.
Posted By: Tapfret
Date Posted: May 08 2020 at 10:08
Thanks everyone.
Bummer to see that Greg(Logan) is stepping down. Hopefully I can be as fair and unflappable. Sadly, I have already had to suspend myself for posting discussions in the review reporting thread. I think I've learned my lesson.
Congrats to Ian, who will do a sterling job, and many thanks to Greg for all he did during his tenure!

True!
Greg, I hope you’ll still have chance to post to the forums, you would be sadly missed.

you weren't paying attention I think, though there more Admins retiring (dean, Angelo, Iain and more) than promoted (George)

I may have missed something (indeed not paying attention to this the early days), but most of these were apparently announced in the first posting of this thread, which is from before I joined the forum.

I'm just curious. What are the duties of an admin? No i'm not interested in becoming one. Sounds time consuming. Just curious.
