I'm sad to hear your family's going through something bad ...or maybe its something good and your presence is simply needed more (guarding lilly from boys?) whatever it is I hope you're all safe and everything turns out well =)
As for the need for a new admin team, I agree with fire and pacman (sorry aeon) that the server would be best handled not by just 2 but a group of about 5, maybe have a few superOPs with custom titles have powers they specifically are good at (like box and his configs ...cept he wouldn't have OP powers besides that x.x). I see aeon's point that there may be conflict with so many admins, but two superOPs with admin powers aren't gonna fill the amazing work fishy has been able to do. I, for instance (since I was given as an example by him to be admin), while I do work hard to help others on a fairly daily basis, don't like having a list of things I have to do daily before I get to settle down to my pixel art. It's alot of work that fishy selflessly took on. I also have a fairly awkward sense of vacationing ...I leave for a week or month at a time without any word and come back as if nothing happened xD
That being said, I'm not saying I won't be one of the admins if need be... I understand I'm awesome and may be needed. I don't have the equipment to replace fishy's hosting though. And until someone can, it's great that we're able to just be promoted to the admin rank and take over the in game stuff you do, but what about server tweaks? Are we able to change stuff console side from far away or will we have to turn in our (not me... coding people) work to you and you'll just enter it in and go back to whatever you need to do?
From how you've explained it, we don't have to change the location of the server for until we're good and prepared for it, so all we have to sort out at the moment is the group of admins we're gonna have and adjust to filling your ...umm fin caps? while you adjust to your own business. As said before, I think we should just make the most trustworthy SOPs into admins... five or something near that, as well as making a few custom ranks with specialized permissions for those trusted (not the rank) members that have the ability to do crucial functions for the server. I, for one, am not technologically sound and think those who are should decide what permissions that the group of admins won't be able to understand fully should be given to custom ranks and who should be given those ranks. ...good luck :D
We can't all do this on our own, this is a team effort! As much as we'd like to think making someone admin rank gives them the ability/time to do it all, it doesn't. The future admin team needs a strong backbone of specialists to do the jobs that they aren't exactly competent at doing! ..that being said if there is a trusted superOP that knows how to configure the server files for example, then we don't need to give box a special rank. That's just an example though, I'm not sure he even needs special permissions from a rank to do all that. That's how ignorant I am xD so this is just a suggestion

Those who fight for justice must walk a narrow path, for those who complain about the injustice of the world usually end up being the ones committing those injustices later on.
