Just a couple rough ideas.

Community Admins - These are the folks who run the site and forums. Someone else can flesh out what the heck we do, I don't know anymore. I would venture to say this rank combines all aspects of the other two ranks, and then some.

Currently that consists of Kaz/Oli, Gili/James, Teanos/Brian.

Community Moderators - These are the folks who moderate the day to day goings on of the community forums.
Duty's include helping posters who may encounter errors with the forums, answering questions, the moderation of all the community forums. Editing posts which may break the rules, removing spam posts which may break the rules, and temporarily assigning a posting ban to users who are in violation of the rules. Posting bans will be reviewed by an Admin. Community Moderators have no additional authority in the game.

Game Admins - These are the folks who perform certain functions within the game and may have access to portions of the game that are not playable/viewable by all registered users. The duty's of the Game Admin may range from answering bug report/information request emails, to accepting Guild Applications, to handing out Turn Awards or making other kingdom/account modifications as assigned. Game Admins may or may not also be Community Moderators or Community Administrators.

Sounds logical. What about the identities of the mods? Public, or hidden?

Its all looking good! been too busy to look to much at it, will make my profile etc. later. Some of the themes are good too :)

As for admin.. i think some admin should be hidden, some shouldnt. REALLY i think it comes down to if the player base increases. For now, i dont see a reason for hidden admin names, but later, it would make sense because people could think those of us who know each other are getting preferential treatment.

Looks good so far, excited!

added a poll to this thread.

i'll probably change it every now and again, so make sure you have your say while a poll is up.

Polyethylene is just damn cool. Shame it isn't fully developed with logo and title info.
And I never even got my own damn posting title!

Ok, I have removed any options from the vote that didn't make it to 3 votes. That leaves four remaining options for the theme.

Dark Grunge (5)
Dark Fantasy (3)
Hestia (3)
Melankolia (6)

You should be able to vote again. Please pick 3 like before.

I did mention that I'd be changing the vote in here every now and again :)

Sorry about TwilightBB owly, but it received either 0 or 1 vote when up against all the current test themes. The more themes we have, the more work we need to do with regards to any mods we add (eg the account switch) and board upgrades.

Dont worry dude, the polls are to help decide which ones to work on... we'll obviously be thinking along the lines of having at least one light theme.

Goths don't like gray, dude. Just black, stockings and random fluffy things.
