work is needed on the forums.
On EN forum, there are 4 admins:
- imacat
- acknak
- Andrew Rist
- Hagar (me)
On the VI forum, there are:
- imacat
- vietnamesel10n

I understand that it can be painful to do so, but the fact that "most
forums seem to be without an admin" is scary enough that it's worth to
understand it better. Without looking at every single detail, do you have a
couple of examples like "on the Italian forum there is one admin and that
admin hasn't posted in 6 months"? (This is an example, I know that the
current admin is active).
What I would like to understand is if we do not have admins, or we have
admins who never log in, or we have incompetent admins (that is, these
people are active but you see badly administered forums).
I did not go as far as to check the admin bit in the user table, I simply
took a look at the logs for admin entries. I dont think we have incompetent
admins, and I dont know how often they login or post.
I think that there are at least 2 admins per forum, this was the rule we had
agreed on IIRC.
But if no task is needed, then no admin activity.
Also note that most day-to-day admin activity on the EN forum is done by
the forum moderators, not by the forum administrators.
As I wrote I am not familiar with the admin job on a forum, so maybe the
lack of activity I see is normal.
In fact, since the forums run rather well, there is very few admin task to do
(almost none).
All daily tasks can be done by the moderators (banning, post approval, ...).
Making forums read-only is pretty easy, its a matter of disabling login
and
not allow anonymous posting. But then I will also ask the these forums are
removed from the daily backup cycle.
Sounds perfect to me. I guess Hagar's concern is the same as mine, i.e.,
useful content should not be put offline. We can add a prominent note
saying that the forum is archived and that if someone is willing to
moderate it they can write to the dev list.
Somebody who knows how, need to add that...I think its a brilliant idea, if
is html that needs to be uploaded I can take care of that part.
That's it.
I can post a note and make it global if necessary.
But having vietnamesel10n cooperation would be better.
