Roll up roll up - who wants to be an ADMIN?

Although comments of "indie/octy + tech guy" are a bit odd because by implication it assumes I've not been able to handle to tech side (I have)

That's my fault, I think. Having perhaps over emphasised my feelings of being a tech-dunce, people are responding to that.
 
VOTE INDIE 2020

There's not a massive lot i can say here that you don't know already. So i'll just do some bullet points:

  • You've maybe heard that i'm admin already. I am. I've been an admin here for probably nearly a decade, moderator since the start of Moopy and stretching back all the way to dotmusic days. I'm certainly relably here. I've been in the POTW chart for like 4 years straight. Beat that if you can.
  • Obviously, i'm a bit of a minority here as one of the 'straight' ones. But don't let that put you off. I'll still wade through threads of Vespertine's cumshots or Kylie's new record (about spunk) to come to a fair judgement on matters.
  • Uptime of the forum really matters. Thankfully i've not had to do it for a little while (there was an overnight back in March, but other than that) - i've spent good chunks of time trying my damnedest to keep Moopy online when it looked like we'd be down forever.
  • Community! The community is important here. The role of admin (and moderator) in my eyes is not to be your fucking mum. It's perhaps sometimes to facilitate, but it's generally not to make decisions on your behalf. But where some matters do need a little bit of authority, such as something which might have legal ramifications or actual private matters of a poster, i've no problem with stepping in and doing something. But on the whole we are community, and the admin isn't the same as it is on some forums.
  • Unbiased - Well, nobody is perfect. But i do try to be fair and impartial in anything.
  • No doubt, i'm still getting stuff done and not resting on my laurels in the role. Giving up my own time to spend days looking at code (e.g. tag-gate) cleaning up the emoji tabs or getting the new emojis (coincidence on timing, but y'know, whatever). Of course i'm not going to be tinkering with the forum in all my spare time (i know, right) but I do put an awful lot into this place. And i'm not just talking of my bankrolling of the place (I put in £5 a month, lolz)
  • Technically proficient. Alright, i'm not *that* well versed in HTML and the specific language, but i do know other programming languages so i can piece stuff together. I've got us this far.
That was a bit of a wine-induced ramble, but whatever. VOTE FOR ME

Having been re-voted as admin with 100% of the popular vote, it's fair to now point out that nobody noticed my hidden message in the capitals of each bullet.
