<looking just a tad...>
@ OTR: Don't even think about it :-P Never even *tried* to get audio input working on this thang.
@ Henesua: Agreed that the AD's work is a) incredible and
important. Disagree that he would be spending too much time moderating to create. That would be up to him, of course, but he strikes me as someone who knows how much to commit and can certainly handle multi-tasking.
To put it in perspective, I co-moderated the original NwN forums (2 of us, 8 of them, if I remember correctly) for a year. That was one of the most *productive* years I've had custom-content-wise (though I've been creating like a madman since joining in the CCC fun and games). And in those days we worried a lot more about trolls and off-topics and such. In that respect, as P says, we are pretty good at self-moderating.
But we could definitely use someone who is *here* to fix glitches. My opinion.
This wasn't TAD's idea, but I did PM him long before I proposed this. Unless he's changed his mind, he's willing because he sees that a local touch would help, and because he thinks he can handle it. I think it's pretty clear Aenea is his priority and he won't let it suffer. But I don't think the moderator duties are nearly that onerous.
@ pstmarie: I want to see TAD honing his CC skills, too :-) *Especially* now that I'm trying to MC the CCC :-P
But I really don't think it's a boolean proposition (see above). It's not one or the other. If it becomes that, he can do what the other moderators do, concentrate on what's important to them.
Which brings me to the point I made above and on the CEP & Q thread. Chris has fixed several things for me and always been polite and professional. But do you know how often I, TSL and others PMed him over sticky issues? Not just the CCC thread, which has been stickied twice, but the CC Tutorial thread, the CEP & Q thread (which has come undone like the CCC)?
Opinion #1: It's to *their* advantage to have a CC *poster* moderate the CC forum.
Opinion #2: It's to *our* advantage to have a CC poster moderate the CC forum.
Opinion #3: I can think of no one better, and few as good, as the Amethyst Dragon to do the job.
Edit: All *that* being said, I'm not married to the idea :-) I think it's a good idea, but it won't make me cry to see it shot down in flames <he's used to being shot down... ;->
<...wry>
