i guess out of your descriptions the closest one would be "creators of the site". The admins keep the site going and make the decisions that decide on the direction that it takes.

I reckon BECAUSE they can actually spell, and put punctuation in the right places....oh yeah, and put capital letters where they belong. :-)

I can't believe how many idiots there are on this forum who find the need to comment on other user's grammar. What is the point? I really dont understand, but you see it in every single topic. I find it even funnier when the person commenting hardly provides the best grammar skills in their own post of critism.

Dodgy grammer is fine.. I'm one of the worst offenders.
SMS style posing is NOT fine.. and will be deleted after a warning is given.

As for Admin, they are the ones who started the site, paid for it all and spend massive amounts of unpaid hours working on the site (and behind the scenes) to make sure we all have a place to play

Spammer.

And as mentioned before ... post count has nothing to do with it ... I'm just a lurker (NOT).

I'm like one of those after-hours bots on IRC ... just to keep the channel open
