There has been plenty of things to do on Audio Board since 2013. And as a member of the team, it is a problem for you. Currently, we need a sfx guy more than we need another composer, which Afilion already is covering at this time. If there is nothing to do (which is not the case), then you find something to do. Take the time to play the demo. Examine if there are any sfx, voice clips, etc. that can require some changes. Be suggestive at least on what can make audio in the game better.

As an Admin, or as a member of any productive team, you have to be observant. You can't sit there and wait for someone to give you something to do, which is not the ideal thing we would want an Admin or any team member to do. You sit around and wait for something, it will rarely come to you. There are plenty to do on Audio Board. If you can't take the time to view the list of sfx/voice clips needed within that one board, then how will you manage an entire forum?

SK has made some wise statements over here. Progress requires assertiveness. This applies to many things, including forum administration and content creation.

Yeah you're right about the first part. Maybe it's my autistic ignorance that'll be my downfall eventually.
The second part can't be fulfilled however. I can't run the demo on my current box at all, due to a lack of a suitable graphics driver that doesn't wreck whenever I use it. SOON tho. SOON. (whenever nVidia will get their act together)

I do. Every day. No new posts. Every day. The Smash Ball lights up but nothing is there. Looking through it it looks all done but no. I wrote a to do list. Something I can read and interpret. I can be more helpful now, at least I would think.

I'll never have as much time as I used to. I run dual web servers and an FTP server 24/7. I am doing a project called Melee Minus. I have an actual job now. (I make $10/hr fixing computers. Just the job I need! )

But I'm derailing this thread, so I'll shut up and open audacity again.

perhaps, instead of finding a random new admin, we can build one from the ground up.

it can go like this. to whoever is highly interested in being a forum admin, create a forumotion of your own. whoever shows the most impressive forum has a good shot at being an admin here on this forum. keep in mind that your reputation as a veteran forum member is taken into consideration. so if you got a bad rep in the community, which i know very few of you dont, i would not recommend taking this challenge. keep in mind this isnt official, just an idea

Jesus christ, what is that supposed to mean? I can't think of three hostile people on this forum.

BluePsychic, Blitz, and SuperKooparaider

they have no chance of... getting a chance

Yeah screw Blitz! That guy's the worst.

Never forget

Well, I guess I haven't seen as much knowing how new I am here.

well, if anyone is interested, let me know

I mean...
I haven't really wanted to say anything.

But I'm kinda sorta interested in being admin.

I for one support StayPuft as admin.

Caveat: The small smashballs are broken.

Currently, I think I am confident of either Kirby or Dust for Admin.

Dust for Admin 2014

I feel so loved

Do you mean mod or admin? Shouldn't mod be like, a stepping stone to admin?

dont think a mod can do what SK wants done with the forum

So dust will be able to ban people.

Uh oh...

I'm down for Dust as admin.

Dust sounds like the perfect admin.

Oh you mean this is all for when SK sent out job offers for someone to handle the site.

Yeah in that case Dust would be great. If he's up for it, though? So far he's only replied "I feel loved"...

He showed interest I THINK last night, hopefully he's just not going with what everyone wants and he does what he wants to do

I am 100% up for it, yeppp :>

Dusty for admin 2014
