I am definately absolutely the worst possible option for taking care of anything. But I feel like that when Leste will be ready, that would be the right time for organizing a gathering for making plans and decisions about the forum, delegating jobs, making maybe a maintanance page with restricted access which would have all information concerning the managing the forum well organized. Goal would be to make it fool proof, ready to move kind of set, easily passed to next generation or people interested.

One concern is that sometimes people who are eager to take responsibility may be unable to bare enough people not living according to rules. Rules and guidelines are needed but so is freedom. On the other hand well organized and maybe a more controlled forum would serve better people searching for information.

And then there is a question what do people want this forum to be. For years this has been a place to share information and look for, but this place has also been a living room / a club, a place to hang out with friends. Now it seems that some formerly active members have step back a bit maybe because of some new members and the way they work (I for one has managed to post a lot off topic and also used pm to get info of things which could have been found by other means).

My personal hope is that Leste would get good wikipage in the forum and it to have someone looking after a bit that the info people post would start to find their right place from the start. Leste will possibly bring a lot of new users and to make things right would serve everybody. At the same time I love the atmosphere and freedom on this forum. There is the kind of kindness and politeness I like a lot, people not being besserwisser and baring noobs.

A gathering, that I think is needed. Maybe to start own thread for that. Maybe I will do that.
