The whole point really of having plugins and such in vB 3.5 is so that one doesn't need to be an advanced admin...

I also agree with the poster who said hiring a rep for Jelsoft here fulltime would go a long ways in really getting this site to realize it's full potential.

Here's my suggested steps:

1. Hire a new rep for Jelsoft here
2. Expand the staff and cull staff members that haven't done anything or been here for long stretches of time.
3. Institute rewards for coders and their plugins
4. Stop the habit of closing threads when 1 poster gets out of hand - give them a warning and a .org time-out
5. Somehow change the coders vs non-coders caste system here. It really does inhibit any sense of true community if that is one of the goals of the site.
6. Hire a coder for a full month to get this site upgraded once and for all. Not a slag, yes, it takes time for people who have a real life, but the site just seems so outta sync with the rest of the vB world.

Cheers,
