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.
