I'm confused. What's the about? Who is that? I'm so lost. Wondering if I'm privvy to an answer.
 
I have added Reeve as admin, he will take over running QCDN as soon as hosting issues are sorted out.

Reeve has years (decades? :smile: ) of experience running forums, and has a vested interest in FFXI as such as he is running one of the larger FF forums out there (http://www.shinraonline.com/).
 
So sculli, are you still gonna be around, or is this gonna be like the last Hiadus where you put another Admin in place that can't handle the constant insults, criticism and ungreatfulness and eventually just leaves? (no offense pupusa)

I think what you mentioned is really what it's all about. There were a number of people who offered to continue to run QCDN. However, while I am sure all of them have the best intentions, none of them have ever been an admin of a site of this size. Running a forum of this size is no trivial task, and even the most enthusiastic and committed person can burn out quickly.

Reeve has been running large forums for years, he has the admin experience, the technical knowledge, and experience in how to work with a community such as QCDN.

QCDN is too well known and well used to just let it go to someone who can not guarantee that it will still be here tomorrow. Reeve is someone who can ensure that continuity.
 
Also does rev play FFXI most mods do not any more :(
 
Are we going to have to deal with Cait Sith??
 
Why are you leaving Sculli? We were so glad to have you back..

Does he play FFXI? We dont need another admin who treats it like any other fourm.
 
Well isn't this an interesting turn of events
 
I really don't see the logic in inviting someone who hasn't established respect and recognition with the community, let alone someone who hasn't even set FOOT into the forum before, to run the whole place. It's just not representative of the people who this guy will have administrative power over. Okay, fine ... he plays FFXI. Does he even play on Quetzalcoatl? Why on Earth would he have the slighest interest in investing so much time into a community he's never participated in, unless you were paying him? ARE you paying him?

I mean, it's like yanking someone you saw carrying a pair of binoculars off the street to govern over a long-established club of bird-watchers.

Are you really that uncomfortable with the thought of one of your own members running the place? Does the fact that the new administrator will have the power to temporarily go against the grain of some of your more ... recent ... decisions have anything to do with the choice to hire a complete stranger?

It's just, I really have difficulty buying that "job experience" explanation. -_-

I think there should be more than one admin if Sculli is giving it to another person, just in case.
 
Sculli would have never made any of the members here an admin, anyway.

He seems to trust random people that give him offers more for most everything.
 
I'll hold off on serious comments until something more official is stated. I'm hoping he has some sort of "transition period" or something planned and isn't just ditching us cold turkey. So again I'll just wait for an official announcement.
 
I'm sure there wasn't a single person who's already a part of the community that could have done the job. It's a much better idea to get a total outsider who knows dick about the game and the Quetz community, that way they can be totally impartial because they don't care about anyone or anything having to do with us, amirite?
