Dedication is always one of the most important factors. All the time I see people creating forums but they're not willing to put in the work necessary. I don't know whether they're satisfied with having a forum that's on the verge of being dead and if they're satisfied with only a few posts per week or month. In that case, they shouldn't create a forum. But support an already existing community. Maybe they expect it to turn into a thriving community by itself over night. But it's quite annoying to see. Maybe that's just me though.Your dedication as the Admin and the knowledgeable community you have formed.
My staff knows I take impulsive decisions. I don't wait and discuss changes for weeks until I implement them. If I like what I see or have an idea it's usually implemented overnight so to speak. So it's naturally you see me doing loads. In my opinion an administrator also needs to take lead at all times. Don't expect too much from others, take control and do what you like.Your attention for details, content quality, awesome people around here. Weakness: It is Cedric for everything, I am afraid you could get tired before implementing systems/mechanisms that run without you. You are a human and from time to time you need a break.
I do want to emphasize that the Service Team is epic. These guys put in so much work it's ridiculous. I have major respect for every single STM.
You said I can get tired. And I'll say I have been tired. It's important to take a day off, or a few days. When I do that, it's refreshing to come back with new stuff. New ideas and a new breathe of life to continue and pour in my soul. And there are still days where I don't post as much as I should, but that's okay. We all have ups and downs, good days, bad days. Productive days and less productive days.
I'm glad AJ gave you inspiration to come back! I've heard that before, and that is a great achievement for us in my books!Well, in my case, AJ made me feel the sense of community again and that let me to start again in the forum world.
I'm here for the long run!I can't tell much on this one, I don't know your plans and Ideas for the future.
