- Yop
Up until now, myself and X-Soldier have been the main administrators of TLS, however, X's activity hasn't been really consistent (as he indicated himself), and a single administrator on any forum is a potential risk - one could be away for an extended period, leaving the forum unattended (well, there's still the moderator(s), but you'd know how it goes, ).
The new administrator would mainly play the role of a community manager / overseer, One Admin to Rule them All, etc, where the extended access to the admin control panel would only have to be used for very specific issues, such as altering settings, staffing people, etc. As reasoned above, a backup with ACP access wouldn't be a bad idea (as long as they aren't batshit insane and shut down the entire forum whenever someone disagrees - mind I won't stand for that)
In the staff section, we've nominated the four above candidates. We've decided to go for a staff nomination (i.e. the current staff nominates the candidates) in this case due to the position of administrator being kinda important, and if it became a member vote, popularity would also become a large factor. Mind we've got nothing against member-nominated staff, and I'm personally in favor of having it all member-nominated if there's a need for more moderators, but that's something for the future.
We've come upon four potential candidates: Makoeyes987 (who should lose the numbers btw), who was nominated with the following reason:
Cookie Monster (aka Road) was self-nominated with the following reason:
Dacon was nominated with the following reasoning:
Finally, V was a last-minute nominee, probably due to his late entry into the site .
And his own nomination (note that this one was made without him knowing about the admin nominations):
The poll will be up for 14 days, after which the results will be made known. I've set the poll to not display the current standings intentionally, so that people wouldn't just vote for the leading candidate. With that in mind, I'd like to ask you not to post who you've voted for, at least not until the voting is done.
You lot have 14 days, which is kinda a lot, but whatever, . Vote or gtfo.

Makoeyes was Administrator of ACF before it shut down, and he did a great job during that time.
Cookie Monster (aka Road) was self-nominated with the following reason:
I always willing to help, I'm an Admin at FCF so I'm pretty familiar with the ACP
Dacon was nominated with the following reasoning:
I'd also like to nominate Dacon. He was a Super Moderator on ACF, and he's shown he has extensive knowledge when it comes to entertainment(in all fields), and an ability to remain composed and unbiased. He can obviously be ruthlessly honest, but I only see that as a plus, tbh.
Finally, V was a last-minute nominee, probably due to his late entry into the site .
Since it seems Aaron is to posting more often, I'd nominate him as well. He'll be able to help with any tech issues if Yop isn't around.
And his own nomination (note that this one was made without him knowing about the admin nominations):
V said:I'd probably poast a lot moar if I were staff on here. I can't promise to actually do anything other than poast however
