Hey everyone, I have some major news regarding EODK!
If you're not aware, we haven't had active staff members for a long time. The staff members consisted of Scott who made the Proboards version of this site, Spica an admin, and Casey a moderator. None of these people have been on the site for a while, and as the owner Scott was the only person who could appoint new staff members. Meaning that we had no way of moderating anything that happened, like when we had those spam posts a little while ago, or even adding/changing aspects of the site like creating new boards.
I got in touch with Proboards about the situation and after a thorough review they had determined that the staff had essentially abandoned the site and agreed to give me, the oldest and most active user, administrator powers! So I now have all the powers that Scott the owner had, meaning that we now have someone who can help run the site when things go wrong or we want to change or add things.
So what does that mean for everyone else? Well, really nothing. I'm not going to go change the whole site and, like, become a dictator or anything. I'm just going to keep chugging along like normal. As far as other staff, I personally don't really see the need because we're such a small, close-knit site that there isn't really any rule breaking going on. But, I would like to hear from you all and if you want to see something change on the site that we couldn't do before, then I'm all ears and I want us to decide on things together.

Yay!
So shaneofthebeach (left for Europe and quit the site) was really Scott in real life or are those two different people?
I asked ProBoards a while ago and there was nothing that could be done by them...so yay for you for asking.

I asked ProBoards a while ago and there was nothing that could be done by them...so yay for you for asking. Shaneofthebeach was different than Scott. But I can see how they could be confused. Cause Scott was moolah_beach_(some numbers). And Shane was from like... Norway but Scott was also interested in Swedish or something.

I know I'm about 3 weeks late on this, but congratulations! Those spam posts were really annoying and I'm glad there is a much more immediate way to deal with things that like now.
I would suggest that one or two other staff be chosen by you in case something (such as a personal emergency, although I 100% hope it doesn't happen) keeps you away from the site for longer than you might otherwise expect. The one or two could be others who have been on the site for a while, but have also been around very recently and frequently.
Basically, the only responsibilities of the staff would be to respond to spam-like events in case you can't, and to let you know if they're leaving the site so that you can choose someone else to take their place. Not a lot, but obviously it's enough such that it shouldn't be forced on anyone.
