Though it's nice to be big (as it is a sign we do a great job) It also brings a lot of problems. Things like the forum get less organized, things start to slow down. Etc etc. We'll also loose a lot of personal contact with the members of the forum, because it will be to many.

Big sites / companies / generally everything that's big always seem to get bad reputations because of that. Think of Gamespy, Microsoft, The-underdogs.org, etc etc.

Maybe that will happen here too. Perhaps not that fast, but it surely will.

I take your words as the opening call for hunting. Let's get the sculls of the guests!

Being big also has advantages. The income from adds rises and with that it becomes possible to get a larger server. That then opens up new posibilites to upload bigger games.

As an admin I have realized that it has become increasingly difficult to keep reading everything that is writen on the site and I also realize that as an admin I have increasingly become more isolated from the rest of the forum. I regret that but it is the price to pay for both doing my job and the succes of the site. I think the advantages outway the disadvantages.

Can you explain why Picard...

I think admins just got more rights and that doesnt make them automatic isolated from others...

As long you`re fair to others they wont isolate you...so you can still be one of us k:
