The old message board is back, a few notes...

I'm just trying to understand the chain of command a bit better.

All the mods are still here, but KR is focused on the new site. Some of us are admins, but short of some minor modifications, we have no say. KR is the site owner, which gives him higher level powers to make major site changes and updates.

If we are on our own, I hope KR gives a couple of us some added powers, but who knows if it'll happen. I'm hoping we get reincorporated back into the main BD site at some point in some way, but if not, we'll make do.

I doubt this will ever happen, since he is so entagled with his new baby. At least, he should give you mods the admin powers he has for the legacy.

I'm hoping killrobot gets another brand new board.

No. You can see that on the NSFW issues, they don't have the power to do changes on their own or better: they don't have the proper understanding of the functionality of some parts of the board.

I think one of the issues with handing it over to the mods is that KR still pays for the forum and I would assume that most of us aren't totally familiar with messing around with plug-ins and mods for legacy. It isn't totally difficult to do the basics. I did some random design work on another forum a few years ago, and it takes a little tinkering.

I would be down for someone messing with different aspects of the forum, if KR would allow it. It is a very time consuming challenge! I respect anyone who would want to take that on.

Shed, when I said I think killrobot should give mods more administrative power to change things on Legacy, if need be, you were the ONE I was thinking of...

You, Caustic, and Klown have been around long enough to know what needs to be done and what should be done. I think if KR were to give you administrative powers this board would run SO much smoother and a lot more functional. Hopefully, sooner than later, he gets the hair to let you guys run the board completely, because I'm sure you would make it member friendly with no bull shit.

I know it takes a lot of time and effort to run a message board as big as this one but I have total faith in ya. So *fingers crossed*, someday it'll happen, because I have a few suggestions of my own that I think could really help out and make this board more personal for members.

I really missed the old message board. So glad it's back.

It's been back for awhile, my man.
