Gaming tab administrator - Alexander - Jul 23, 2017

HF should have an administrator with the powers to create, rearrange, and remove sections under the gaming tab.

The gaming industry moves and changes faster than most other subjects discussed on HF, and while I understand that frequent structural changes on the forum jeopardizes the users' sense of security and how worthwhile it feels to post, among other things, I believe that the gaming forum is in need of more frequent changes to better mirror trends in gaming and stay up to date.

Thoughts?

I'd take a look at disallowed suggestion number 2: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=577653&pid=5494015#pid5494015

If you have a specific forum you want added or removed, suggest that instead.

You're suggestion to replace me.

I don't alter the section constantly because that's just madness. It is overdue for a new arrangment though. Realize that it's not so easy to arrange a gaming section.

Not to sound rude actual question, What will happen when you go to the grave? What will happen to HackForums?

HF will cease to exist, from what I've heard.

I believe there are measures in place that staff have been trained for? - Don't quote me on it.

Not exactly. Don't get confused by the word administrator. Whatever you call it, these powers would be exclusive to the gaming section, as I suggested it.

Of course you don't alter it constantly, but it should be altered more often than other sections, and having someone else do it may be a good idea to make your workload smaller.

I haven't used MyBB extensively, but I'm sure it would just create more work for Omni to put in a place a measure to allow a certain user admin access for the purpose of just altering a certain forum's structure.
