Zoop 8,384 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 We've made a few changes to the administrative side of things over here. As you can see at the bottom of the forum index, we've made some changes to some of the staff groups. Tech Admins | Community Admins | Global Moderators | Section Moderators | Subscribers | Members More specifically, the Administrator group is now the Community Admins group, while the former Site Owner group has now been changed to Tech Admins. The Community Admins group - commonly referred to as the 'Oops' by Feld0 - consists of Swoop and myself*; we're going to be responsible for pretty much the exact same thing we've been responsible for in the past - acting as a point of contact for people that wish to bring up concerns regarding things like actions taken by moderators, and similar issues that they feel the need to speak with a higher authority regarding. No real change there. The Tech Admin group, on the other hand, is a little different. Tech Admins are going to primarily focused and concerned with keeping the site operating properly and dealing with the back-end issues that would make my head spin. This group consists of Feld0 (obviously), and administrative newcomer, Scootacool. While Scootacool may be a relatively recent addition to the staff, his extremely cool head, good judgement, and skill with weird technical codey things makes him pretty bloody perfect for the job. He's already been given his first project, which I think a lot of people will enjoy once it's good to go. * Yes, my break is over. Mourn me. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spas-ticShotty 3,584 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Hey look, Zoop is an admin again. How nice Anyways, I noticed how Scootacool had his name in blue, and I'm like "Wait, what? Someone at the same power as Feld0? (By the way, what does "Feld0" mean?)", but now I know, thanks to this tread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavelColt 22,881 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 (edited) I approve of Scoots becoming an admin. Of all the staff I've talked with him the most, and he seems like a swell dude for the job.

Guest August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 From the sounds of things, a potential wave of content is on its way! If what you've said is true, I look forward to what Scootacool's work entails. More admins means more fun, right? Welcome back to the fray, Zoop. Time to clean up after Swoop's reign of invisible tyranny. Just like the good ol' days...

Swoop 2,278 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Zoop, you win the prize for the most pathetic excuse for a break I've ever seen. Well done. As for the new administrative paradigm, I can comfortably say that I'm more than happy to throw any tech-related issues in the general direction of Scoots. Schadenfreude will ensure. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Lightning Da Cute 619 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Scootacool my old friend has become a Tech admin, unknown genius apparently.

Arylett Charnoa 4,919 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Zoop, you win the prize for the most pathetic excuse for a break I've ever seen. Well done. This. So much this. Zoop, that wasn't a break! That was just you parading around pretending to be a member. You silly admin. I don't get what goes through admin's heads. I very much approve of this change, anyway. I have been wanting Scatcoal (that's my nickname for Scootacool) to be an admin for quite some time. He is awesome, and totally like best mod with his magical codey Scatpowers. Scatcoal <3 Have fun with your new horn and wings! 6 Aether Velvet is the name of the OC in my avatar. Drawn by me. Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Gear 6,663 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Hello everyone, I just wanted to say that I am happy to be able to serve the community with my skills. Just keep in mind that while both of our names are in blue, Feld0 is still the Supreme Overlord and Sole Owner of MLP forums. I'm basically the resident backend engineer. My job is to assist Feld0 by doing anything that he needs me to do to keep the site running smoothly, add features, and other technical stuff. He's already been given his first project, which I think a lot of people will enjoy once it's good to go. Oh yes, I'm really looking forward to this project… 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohtty 1,775 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Oh yes, I'm really looking forward to this project… When will we see the fruit of this project... or more specific updates =,=?good luck anyways, It better be good I'm sure it will be good. 2 Legit signature made by Shift.

Just keep in mind that while both of our names are in blue, Feld0 is still the Supreme Overlord and Sole Owner of MLP forums. Yeah. Like, this isn't a secret takeover of the site at all! Feld0's still a pretty cool guy who can run an empire pretty smoothly. Congratulations on acquiring tech admin status - you very much deserve it. May your skills help this Forum in more ways than one! Have fun with your new horn and wings! He had wings to begin with.

Arylett Charnoa 4,919 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 (edited) He had wings to begin with. Silly, silly Devin! Scatcoal is/was an earth pony. He has no wings. You must be confusing him for Klopps. On a related note, Scatcoal is like... the Feldian Empire's official Assistant Commander Castle Repairmanmanman. He totally fixes the Feldian castle whilst Feld0 sips on little fruity drinks. Edited August 20, 2012 by Arylett Dawnsborough 3 Aether Velvet is the name of the OC in my avatar. Drawn by me.

moneyshredderofdeath 414 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Zoop rises from the dead. Of not really being dead. Grats to Scootacool to his new position! I enjoy your presence on the forum, you're quite friendly and well spoken. Silly, silly Devin! Scatcoal is/was an earth pony. He has no wings. You must be confusing him for Klopps. Gonna guess that Devin was making a reference to Scootacool's pony of choice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PegasisterTaco 318 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 Are there any rides in Admin Land? I was wondering why Scootacool's name was blue. I thought he overthrowed Feld0 from his rightful thrown and became the new ruler of MLP Forums. Now I know the real reason. Congrats Scoot! Have fun using your Techy Admin power stuff. 2 Life is an adventure. An adventure of mistakes, accidents, and misunderstandings. That's what makes life life.

Jokuc 8,174 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 All the things happening to the forums.. I'm confused hah.. New admin and new support system.. Anyways I'm sure Scootacool will do a great job as an admin. Now he will also have to pay $10,000 to the forums every month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbyboi 588 August 20, 2012 Share August 20, 2012 First of all, welcome back, Zoop! Secondly, welcome to the admin group, Scootacool. I hope you both do well in you mighty and powerful admin duties. You guys are like Celestias to the forums (And of course, Feld0 too!). Thankfully we've organized the groups a bit better. Now we know specifically the roles of each group and stuff. Hopefully the forums will be better as ever, especially with Zoop back in business. And again, congrats to Scootacool for becoming admin! May you rule the forums greatly, and make it prosper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3005 332 August 21, 2012 Share August 21, 2012 I'm sure you'll do the job justice, Scootacool. I'm particularly pumped for the upcoming debut project by Scootacool as an admin. Can't wait to hear more about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
