Clownfish,
I am nearly distraught you're leaving. You're the best admin I have ever come across, not trying to brown nose, you are. I also know family should always come first, I respect your decision. I have hosted one server myself and helped operate another server (beside this one). I have been thinking about this a long time and a few SOP's threw a few ideas at me, including James and Mitchel. I would like to run them across you, see what you think?
Qualities and Requirements of an Admin:
1: Trusted and Friendly
2: Previous experience with Admin Role (debatable)
3: Computer specifications to handle server load (What are yours currently Clown? Need to compare.)
4: Good internet speed, at least 100MBPS or more.
5: Active Often
Perhaps, with all this in mind, you can pick an "ideal" candidates to "train" during your transition? See who works best on a list of the candidates?
I personally recommend Shpp or Pizza. I have known them for a year now and they are both very trustworthy. I am not sure how Shpp is with his computer specs, but I think Pizza has that. Perhaps two Admins is best? I don't know, I have been in servers where there is 3 or more, a lot of disagreement occurs and responsibility for running the server is put on one individual. I want CFEW to run smoothly like it did with you and Rose in charge. Two people to call the shots and make the place as fun as you had it.
I am not sure if I read your entire posts correctly. Maybe we don't need to pick an Admin at all for a few months? Am I being too hasty? Just trying to look for the future.
We'll miss you, all of us,
