Or should I say, welcome to your doom? Well, at the least, thanks for helping out. Out of curiosity what will his responsibilities be as an administrator of the ASR? |

Thanks y'all  I have special responsibilities, including but not limited to:1) Silencing all members who have views that are not agreeable to the ASR status quo 2) Pretending to listen to all attempts at positive contribution, and then making sure they don't happen 3) Turning supportive members against anyone who would dare criticise the administration 4) Fixing game results to ensure I stay in Alpha And the big primary responsibility...: |

Actually I had hoped you (or someone) was going to be the superclass liaison. In that sense it makes sense that a new admin would be hired. I think it just helps if there are clear cut responsibilities -- in any organization. That's what I was hoping to see. More organization, clear cut goals and responsibilities. Vision. The ASR is moving up, if the superclass really "works" what would you do if membership jumped to 300? See thats why I was asking. I was asking because I wanted to know what exciting things we have in store for the league, to know what vision you all had. Not because I wanted you to mock my ideas. Well not that you are REALLY mocking my ideas. Just kidding! Right? It just feels like it's very clear how unwanted my help here is. At any rate now that you and the other admins have said many times you have absolutely no idea of implementing ANY of the changes I've suggested I'll pull back a lot from the suggesting business. Believe it or not I just do what I do because I want to see the ASR be the best it can be.. even if I am slightly misguided We're all rooting for you. |

Graham, I have to say I am really impressed -- not by this particular event but, you have what, four kids? A partner? You continue to improve your own game? You make the occasional video? You are an admin in multiple Go-related sites? You (presumably) have a day job? And who knows what else... Do you sleep? Do you remember your kids' names?

You mentioned advertising and getting new members. I think that's great. It would be great if someone focused on advertising and bringing in new members. I'd also hope that includes current member retention. One of my previous suggestions in the ideas thread was to have an admin talk to members in the league and take a somewhat more personal/interactive interest in member's progress. I hope you do that or something like it. Also now that you're an admin, am I to assume you would green light me talking to members / collecting data re:timezones/availability times? This is something you commented on before you became an admin, I think it would be something positive. Have you discussed it with stalkor or anyone? Let me know, I'd do it. |

I do try to sleep, but I find it is overrated  Thanks again, you're all far too kind. @Usagi: My first goals are 1) to update the pages, FAQs and descriptions on the ASR site a little, make the case a bit more for what exactly it offers right now. 2) to have some volunteers that will use up their daily advert in the EGR to promote the ASR .. perhaps once every 3 or 4 days per person. The idea of collecting that data is fantastic, and if you are volunteering, you definitely have the green light. I cannot guarantee what will be done with that data, as it depends what it says, but I will do some analysis on it when you have it. If you could collect availability and timezone from everyone for this month, and I'll have a look through for correlations between that and games actually played - many thanks! |

Is it? I'm not sure why ... the purpose is that those people that feel the ASR is worth promoting can do so. It's not like people can't effectively do this anyway, and it's not like I'm endorsing everyone spams the place with a message a day each I often see KGS+ adverts even though I'm not a KGS+ subscriber at the moment (though will renew at some point soon, as I miss it) and those even go into my PM windows, let alone every other room window I have open. I don't object to that, as long as I don't get 10 in the space of 5 minutes, it seems hard to be annoyed by it. I don't know, wms and glue both visit L19 every now and again - I'll gladly not do this if they feel this is abusive of their system. |

I will create a royal excel worksheet which contains the player's KGS username and the information abou timezone and availability. Fields will be empty if there is no information. If there's any other information you would like to collect let me know. I'll be starting from alpha and working top down. It may take a while. I will forward you the information on here periodically as it fleshes out. |

Also, rank (particularly for those with - and ?) would be nice |

I'll probably just do it myself once a week or so, and if other people choose to do it of their own volition, that's their prerogative. Thanks for flagging it
