Hmmm, I've had the most exchanges with Martin (Trotsky) and Jody (TheProgtologist), so it's a toss up between them I guess. That being said, they all do a fantastic job. |
no doubt!

The Admin team have discussed this thread. While we are sincerely grateful for the support, we feel the poll element is misguided. We did not take on admin roles to be popular.
We are very much a team and work together for a common goal. The visible aspects of what we do are only a small part of the work the guys put in to ensure that the site is the best Prog site on the net.
As was mentioned in one of the posts here, a great deal of credit is also due to our special collaborators. They too do a lot of work behind the scenes.
The poll element of this thread has therefore been removed. For the sake of posterity, I will record that at time of writing Jody (The Progtologist) and Tony were in joint first place, and I was proudly last! 
For those so inclined, the thread will continue to be available for discussion.

Yes I must say that choosing one would be neglecting the others >> I have many contacts with all of them (I must say more with the more ancient ones) and they are all very much fun to relate to. Great sense of humour is a common trait ofcharacter
As for the two newer Admins, I hope I gat to to know them much better quickly, which does not make a shadow of a doubt it will happen
As foe what Bob says about popularity , Iagree that becoming an admin is not the way to go about it 
They have to deal with the more repressive side of things too and exclude trolls which automatically brings much anger towxards them! Something I must say has made me refuse the task when I was proposed it a few months back
Great job guys

agreed
however, the thread asked about favourite, not 'best' or sth like that, so it was a matter of fun, discussion etc.

Not to start a public squabble, but I was around when you removed this poll, Bob ... and I'm pretty sure we were joint last!  Anyway, thanks people, for understanding the kind of job we do for the site ... and just wanted to say a word for the "original" admin Maani (Ian Alternman) ... who did a pretty spectacular job often all by himself, for the first year and a half ...  BTW, I wouldn't have known whom to vote for, so I would probably have just taken the easy way out by voting for the young feller!

Trotsky brings up a thought thatI had forgotten
Maani's contributions were essential in the Archives and he must be not forgotten , (he still posts once in a while) for this place owes him a good debt.>> thanks Maani

... like any good (prog) band! Maybe we shouldn't rank band members either as the collective output is most important.

Jody's done a lot for me on this site. I would be unjust saying otherwise. All the admins and special collabs do quite a lot for this site, each in their own ways. I've really begun to appreciate their work since becoming a Prog Reviewer, I just know so much more about this site.
