It was April last year when I called for "expressions of interest" in taking on the role vacated by Spanner 12 months or so previously.  I think that it is pretty clear that no-one among our members has the expertise and/or the capacity to make required commitment.

Rather than steering Kruddler's poll off course, it may be worth running a poll on how to replace Spanner  :-\

Fair enough, although I'm not sure something like that is poll-worthy.

Some people might limit their activity due to a dislike of certain moderators or other posters that respond to their opinions. Maybe and nothing more. Maybe highly likely though. IMO.
Disagreements happen.
Best not to hold grudges. Life's too short.

If someone is honest enough in their dealings and participate in enough discussions, it's a certainty that sometime somewhere they will find a disagreement, whether it's with the ones you love or a complete stranger!

Id like to know whats involved in maintaining the site.  There's a chance I could pull it off, but I've got a bit to learn.

Send @Spanner a message and see what he says.

It would be great if you could Thry, but definitely talk to Spanner to see what's involved.

It would be nice to think that one of our own could step up to the plate, but don't do it if it would be too onerous.  On the other hand, if it's something that could further your career prospects ...

Suss it out Thry, it would be great if you could manage it.

I'm curious and surprised about the fact that the leading figure in the poll is "read daily but almost never post"
I'm wondering why that is the case.
Sometimes jumping into what appears to be a 'clique' group can be enough for folks to hold back.
I felt a bit that way myself at the beginning, but after a few posts it quickly becomes comfortable.

For some it might have been a bad or dismissive interaction with another poster.
It would be handy to know some of the reasons.

At different stages we've had these personal threads were folks could divulge as much of their personal information as they wished...real first name, State, Age, profession, favourite player, food, music genre, bank accounts and passwords....that sort of stuff, (seriously, nothing too identifiable) which was a bit of an ice breaker when folks found common interests.

I don’t post much because often by the time I get online and read a thread my view has already been expressed multiple times by others, and often more eloquently than I.
So rather than adding “me too” I’ll add a like and read on.

It’s a pet hate of mine where people don’t read threads (fb anyone…?) and just blurt out whatever’s on their mind, hours, days, weeks after the thread has moved on.
Let’s go BIG !
