I need you to be honest.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

Should I continue to be a Co-Admin.

because apparently I shouldn't. I've been rather blatantly told I'm horrible at the job and I've seriously asked to be made a normal moderator. I want everyone to give all thier honest opinions on the matter and say whatever they want. Apparently 'somebody' represents a large portion of TMA that thinks I'm not cut out for the job.

Be as harsh as you want, as long as you stay honest about it. I need to know what you all think. I've already been told that everyone thinks I'm not good for the position so I'm ready for whatever you say.

LI-WA: YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BE CO-ADMIN STILL! YOU ARE THE BEST CO-ADMIN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[L.A.C.R.I.M.O.S.A]

Alrighty then, here's the deal. =/

For a long time, you've been such a benefit to the site. You're friendly to new-comers, you're always willing to lend a helping hand, you're such a big help with taking in new students and stuff. Also, whenever we want to talk with someone on the Cbox, we can count on you to be there. Quite frankly, you've been a model memebr of TMA, and your activeness on the site is very much appreciated, so this is something you should pat yourself on the back for!

Not only this, but we all know how much you care for the site. lol I'm actually starting to think that you probably care more for it than even Shelby herself. x3 You represent us as a whole, seeing as you are one of the more prominent members here, and new members look up to you for it.

However, you have to hear me out on this part: TMA is an inanimate, non-existing place. It belongs solely to the internet world and will never ever be anything other than such. You can't go making this site your whole life. It's unhealthy (believe me, I know from experience). Crying or getting upset over people whole live hundreds, possibly thousands, of miles away from you is, well...silly. I think you need to acknowledge the fact that they will NEVER EVER affect you in your real life. That is completely in your power, your control, and no one should ever have to affect you in such a manner.

It's alright to fall down sometimes as a Mod., but just know that YOU have the decision to pick yourself right back up and start completely anew. If people don't like the way you're running things on here, that's fine! Assess the situation with a clear and open mind, and make changes where changes need to be made. It's YOUR duty as a higher power on TMA to run things, and you were given power for a reason- because the others thought you would be a good leader. Yes, of course we don't want you to abuse your power, because those who abuse power do not deserve the position they have been given. What you need to do is take into stride the complaints and suggestions you are getting, and take action upon it. You don't have to let the members make decisions for you or boss you around because you know what? They have no right to do so. YOU are the one with the power, not them. We are all depending on YOU to make, wise, fair and just decisions. If you are showing insecurity and weakness, others will take advantage of it. We need you to be strong, Liz. We need you, as a leader, to be strong for /us/ and make good decisions, for if you cannot lead us, who else will we turn to?



Now, this is what I think. You /have/ the potential to be the most successful Mod here. You /have/ the strength to make good changes for all of us. And you /have/ the charm and charisma and level-headedness to make this dull situation into something positive so that we all can benefit from this.

All you need to do is pick yourself up from the ground, take a good look in the mirror, and start over as a new and improved Co-Admin.


Think about it.

Once again, I agree with Vamps, but however...

I've been through situations where it seemed like all of TMA Hated me... Dain hated me, we got in arguments, and I was convinced I had no support, but it turned out everyone was just afraid to speak up. I left TMA for a short time, not long at all, but came back when Dain had left, and get along with just about everyone (Except Yorick XD)

It just seemed I left because everyone was afraid to speak up... alot of people are afraid to speak up... and I felt I had to be the one to say something. I was nice about it... I don't hate you liz, I just thought I needed to express. Reba backs me up 100% and a few others again, who don't want their names mentioned.

I suggest, Taking a break would be the best way to deal with this. Like Vamps Said, treating this site like a life is unhealthy, and it would be benifitial to take a break, stay away from TMA for a bit.. and come back.

You wanted to become a normal Mod again, but what you could do, it come back as a normal mod, and if they other staff members believe you are doing more then a normal mod should, you may even rise back up to Co-Admin again... and have the respect you will deserve.


Think about That

Here is my opinion...

I think you are a decent co-admin. I say that because co-admins really do not have to do anything different or much more drastic then global mods. You have been here the longest (except for Darishan) and co-admin should belong to a person who has been here long.


I also agree with Andrea on this. TMA is simply non existent. It is just a bunch of code and text. Sitting on your butt, not getting any physical activity, and staring at the computer screen all day is not good for anyone and I think, if you get too involved with TMA, it could potentially be very harmful to you.

If you feel like you are staying on TMA most of the day because you are co-admin, then I think you should become a moderator again. If you become and mod and feel that you can then be on TMA less, I think it would be better for you. Take everything in moderation. Even though Shelby is the admin, she is in no way as addicted to this site as you, Liz. You should take into careful consideration if the position of co-admin is hurting you.

TO DAN:
WTF, I WAS HERE BEFORE HER XD duhh lol

Anyway, no one should care so much over a random website.
I mean. Yeah I care about you people. And yeah I can't wait to meet you people. But. It's like Pokemon or something. Or neopets. Only BETTER XD
But it's not healthy to be IVed to the computer and overly concerned over coding and letters.
Maybe you should take a break, or be a mod or something.
idk.
Do what you think you should.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

Okay everyone... it's kinda funny that you're all telling me to take a break because you know what?

I already am. I'm going to Massachusetts for a party... and I'll be up there for a weekend. ^__^ so that's already on the way before it was suggested so you don't have to worry about that, okay? I'm going to go on a computer hiatus, don't worry about it!
