What is the status now?

Since this is the last communication (only, really) we had from the staff on the changes being discussed of late:

And now Erwin has stepped down saying:

Being an Admin on this site has become impossible - it's one thing that I have to keep consulting Jelsoft as this is their site after all, but it's another thing that as an Admin I can't even implement strategies to get things done on the site because Mods disagree with it.

Could the 'staff' please confirm that Erwin's promises are still on track?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Leaving of an Admin don't change the plans and changes for the site.

[hambil]

Thank you.

[Revan]

Yet I somehow doubt it will be the same because Erwin did say that the changes he tried to implement was denied by the staff.
Therefore, this closely resembles square one.

Yeah, that's my fear. Can we hear from an admin, or a mod beside Marco? Since Marco's response is not clear to me.

The plans are stil there, at least to my knowledge as Admin, but as Erwins stepping down was a surprise for me as well, i cannot give any ETA on anythings

The main concern is to bring the staff back online, to be able to work on the next things. Sorry i cannot say more now, i have a lot to read since yesterday...

I dont meen to bee rude. But who is Ashley Busby?
I see he is one of the admins, but i have never heard about him.

[Wayne Luke]

Ashley Busby is the the Business Manager of Jelsoft Enterprises Limited.

Thank you, Wayne Luke.
Could i ask some more questions? *scrapes the ground*
How does actually vBorg system work?
Are you all togheter as a group? Does the 3 admins have more to say when you discuss someting? Is the moderators involved?
Im just trying to understand how things work here, cose i get confussed lately.
Does not anyone of you get paid fore administrate this site?

The Administration and Moderators of this site are volunteers only, except for those employed by Jelsoft (Wayne, Zachery, Ashley etc) - However I believe that they don't get paid for providing support or spending hours on end on this site...

Decisions affecting the site are made 3 fold - Normally, the staff are alerted and included in the brainstorming section of the idea for vB.org, then the Administrators decide how to go ahead with it - Finally, if Wayne's input is required, he comes in and has the final say...

That is how I understand the system to work...
