Please don't take this as any kind of offense or a dig at any person or people..... it's just an observation of the forum over the last couple of months.
There seems to be a lack of forum management around these parts these days.
I know Stuart has his hands full with a new baby and all that, and good luck to him and his family, but there is also a noticeable lack of moderator activity and posting as well. I would have thought these positions might have come up to the front while Stuart has his hands full elsewhere.
There are bits of the forum that don't work very well (like the picture resizing and some odd random boxes down the bottom right hand corner of the home page), which in the past Stuart would have fixed pretty quickly in times gone by.
Is there not someone else who could help out with some of the technical issues while Stuart is changing messy nappies and feeding through the night, and if the existing moderators aren't feeling up to the job anymore or have other more pressing engagements, then fine. I don't think anybody will hold it against them if they decided to stand down to make way for some new blood with more time available on their hands.
And before anyone suggests it, no, I don't have the reasoning or negitiating skills to be a moderator - like a Bull in a China shop me! I do have some web-design skills but only really in graphics and html and know very little of php database scripts and all that.
For what it's worth, and only of course if they really want to do it, I'd nominate Mart61 and busterboy for mods, and robgt for site management and mod, leaving Stuart to (a) get on with the more important stuff in life (for the time being at least) and (b) to continue working on the RCHA stuff as he sees fit.
