I am El Borak, the new site Admin. The way transferring ownership of a proboards forum works is that I continue to keep my El Borak account and the Admin account is now assigned to my same email address as my regular account. You may have noticed that before I updated the Admin profile, I copied TPD's profile and mini-profile into the board status thread.
I am going to maintain things on as even a keel as possible and changes that were planned will be vetted with some of the stalwarts here starting with mormonyoyoman. As TPD noted he also has his health challenges and I will try to not to contribute to any additional stress.
My proposed course of action is to use the Admin account only for Admin things and to use my regular account for all regular posting. That way it will be clear when I am wearing the Admin hat.
Suggestion: try to make yourself as anti-fragile as possible. I get the feeling that TPD wasn't targeted in his own person, but because he was seen as a weak link. The external offenders are after something else.

I agree with randyb, the external offenders may just want a rogue rival community gone; but I hope that it doesn't come to that. That said, I hope that your tenure as admin is fruitful & I'll be supporting you as we as a community moves forward.

Thank you, I am going to run the Admin account as professionally as possible.

Somehow this reminds me of the time that Star Wars stormtroopers were firing at Star Trek redshirts. The stormtroopers kept missing, but the redshirts died anyway.

Welcome new Admin. in regard to the red shirts, I think the rest of you protest too much. Red shirts won't show blood like other colors will and it makes it harder to tell if you took a hit or not.
Admin and Staff: I love the Village Commons concept! Good job!
I am glad that you like it, though I can only take credit for the name for the Village Moot for our polls section & possible another (but I haven't check the full forums yet to see). We want to keep things fun & in the spirit that we hope TPD would approve of but put our mark on it too.

Don't let him fool you, the non-admin part of the staff is doing some heavy lifting with ideas and suggestions. I could not do this on my own and now that I am Admin I have no idea how TPD did this much work. I am having a very difficult time just juggling the Admin account and my regular El Borak account. I am so grateful for the Murkhill Steering Committee and for mormonyoyoman (who is quite ill), for our two energetic mods Hexenritter Verlag and ripx187 and our other committee member mao who also brings energy and ideas to the table. Running this forum would be impossible without their help.
But don't let that look like this is a burden to me, it is not. I am having fun doing this and I hope with the Committee help I will make good decisions that will keep this place fun and growing.
We are open to your ideas and suggestions, which we will properly mull over. It is like an old school D&D game, a good DM gets a huge portion of his ideas from things the players say and do, most of which they don't realize are contributing to the game to extent that it really does. The OOC "funny" comments players make trigger ideas that show up in the game down the road. It will be this way here too.
Admin Pete, I don't seem to have the abilities PD mentioned above. My sub is Evening Bell. Could I request the abilities to make subfolders, move threads, make stickies? Thank you!

I sent an email to our Admin. I don't think you can make subfolders/forums that is an Admin function and you should list what you want so he can add it, but you should be able to move threads and make stickies.

My apologies to both of you, but especially to hengest for the long delay in getting this done. I am sorry that I have not been online in forever.
