The people have demanded change from their bread and circuses, and so the moopy administrators once again place destiny in your hands.

Will Indie reign supreme as KING OF THE NORTH? Will Kate finally show Rita she's more than just a mod? Will disneyteletubby finally turn moopy into a 100% enya hotbed? Will I forget to close this thread in a week because I've been in Ibiza? WHO KNOWS?

What we DO know is that prospective ADMINS should present a manifesto for the citizens of moopy in this thread, explaining why they are the perfect poster for the job. From these manifestii, we will elect THREE new administrators to oversee the 0s and 1s that power this glorious longe forevermore. Or until the next election.

BUT WAIT, I hear you cry. What the FUCK does an admin do around here exactly?

An ADMINISTRATOR is like the gatekeeper to Moopy who holds the keys. Amongst other things, they can:
Turn Moopy on/off
Install forum upgrades
Talk to the server hosts, fix issues like downtime and access problems
Change the structure of the forums, colour schemes, add new forums, change banners
Access the backing database and root forum code
+all the stuff a moderator can do
IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone can be an administrator. Technical knowledge is useful, but absolutely not essential.

Do you have a burning desire to delete the internet and sit in the dark? Will you provide the people with updates on WHO edited WHAT? If so, please post your manifesto here no later than 23.59 pm on Tuesday, 22nd September 2026.

We are looking to fill THREE positions. If there are more than three candidates, it will go to a vote. If the same three admins are the only nominees, we will go to a vote of confidence. The end.

Brought to you by the friends of big ron. Vote YES on Proposition 64.

Just had Guido Fawkes on the phone. Rumours are swirling that at least one moopy modmin grandee will NOT be seeking another term after this election 🫪

Also gutted that Zen is standing down. We did ask if he could be persuaded to stay, but sadly no. :(

Anyone with good tech knowledge please do consider standing 🙏

As for me, as I always say, I’m happy to stand down as I am almost entirely useless, but also happy to stay :)
 
Losing Zen as an admin is a devastating blow for Moopy. He has done SO much behind the scenes, in particular on the tech side. I really don't know how anyone is going to be able, or willing, to voluntarily put so much into it.

I really feel these elections now come at a huge cost. I hope all those who have pushed for elections will be standing to replace what's being lost.
 
Surprised to see ZG leaving. On the technical side he appeared to be very good. Although I suspect Indie is also pretty efficient.

The biggest goal for admins at the moment, is technical - make the site run smoother. It's becoming quite jarring at times. Although I have no idea what's needed.

So should we have no elections for fear of losing quality admin? I stand by the fact we have such longevity partly because we elect the teams that run the site. Popjustice should be a warning about this kind of thing.

I didn't say that, but I'm acknowledging that there's a cost to it. It just happens to be a cost this time that will have a big impact on the smooth running on Moopy structurally.

It was a personal choice, by all accounts. Not a cost of the election.

I assume he was planning to quit at the end of this term.

Unless I'm missing something.
 
The Reign of Terror (September 2026) was a brutal 2 week phase of the Moopy Revolution marked by mass executions and extreme political purges
 
Dark Carnival used a slur against ZenGiraffe, who has resigned as admin as a result. Dark Carnival is now a pro-Israel Ed Sheeran fan

You couldn't make it up.
