Ramble ramble ramble
So I've got someone to take over or co-run the Mortals system and two temp Shifter STs lined up, so that situation is improved.
Sheesh.
My role as Site Admin is a funny one. I don't run scenes, so I don't do what is the most important work on the site. I'm not a programmer so I can't do much in terms of technical maintenance though at least it's set up so I can do basic stuff without making things fall over, go BOOM. For which I'm grateful to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lithium_doll and she is likewise grateful for the lack of boom-y things.
But for all that, anyone could do what I do. Whether anyone sane would want to, is another matter. I think my main role is giving everyone someone to hate and bitch about, thus leaving the STs free enough of that sort of nonsense that they can get on with their jobs. A bitch magnet, if you like, a decoy. All the complaints come to me, all the problems. And that's about it. I don't, as an admin, get any of the good stuff. LD, when she ran the site, at least got oodles of worship and praise for her RP scenes. Still does, though she rarely runs scenes now. Which is a great loss, btw. But now I can see why that just wasn't enough at the end of the day.
Maybe I should grit my teeth and try and learn a system well enough to run scenes for it. I think I'd be a lousy ST though. I can't plot to save my life, and I think that's a talent you have to possess, I don't think it can be learned.
Hrm.
Anyway, at least I have some bodge fixes in place so that gives me some breathing space. For now.
In other news, there is no other news. Although mild gloating was heard from the direction of my sofa earlier when Man Utd lost to AC Milan and Chelsea beat Barcelona. Good match, that Chelsea game, it finished 4:2.
Sheesh.
