Has anyone ever noticed that when you actually want to PM an admin to ask them something they're never on?
Quite a few admins are just on invisible, so they can lurk. Like sharks. :p
They are always on. One of the requirements for Adminship is to give up your entire life to serve the forums. Day, night, every single hour.
It is a blessing; it is a curse. With great power comes great responsibility.
And then they attack like sharks!Quote:

I would choose the first option and say that they never abandon me but it's grammatically incorrect. :p
Did you know that the Private Message system wasn't intended to be a real time chat? And your 30 second later replies are freaking creepy and remind me of when RSL would do that every now and then when he got into a hyper fit.
Yeah, I had to spam #eoff and several people on AIM when I needed a password reset back in April, and I also made my friends bombard various admins with PMs. I think I got a 12 hour response time. It was on my birthday too so I couldn't post in my birthday thread. Still, thanks for coming to my (Samur)aid, guys.
It's, not my fault a sing drop of sugar makes me go nuts :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:Quote:

You may send a private message to a Cid's Knight.
Regardless, it is not wise to expect that you can instantly reach an Administrator by sending a private message to them when they are offline. If you have an urgent issue, you may try to send one of the Administrators an instant message or contact a Cid's Knight.
No, but then again I don't nromally send pms asking about things. I generaly find things out by mistakes I found out how to change the settings to the fluffy puff setting by mistake.
(it was very cool at first I decided I wasn't going to post in this thread so I was lazy and I clicked the back button and then my computer was acting weird so I did the worst thing possible by clicking the back button a lot and then I ended up Avarice-ness's thread and I was like huh and then I clicked back a lot more and I ended up back here somehow. Pretty cool, huh? So I decided to post.:bigsmile:)
I've never had to PM an admin, so I havn't noticed. ^_^
We just all go on invisible when you log on.
I'm not very active right now so it's best not to PM me.
No. You're crazy.Quote:

They always take care of me, like loving parents nurturing their child to grow into something they can be proud of. Sometimes when I ask them to do something they tell me no, but it's probably because my teenage RM mind (it was a kids mind when I was a regular member) doesn't know everything and they have more experience. Then there's C_lout. Oh, how Cl_out teases me. Like the aunt who likes to get drunk and have a good time.
Hmm well i never really noticed...i barely PM or post something in the help forum for the admins to help me on...
They didnt become admins by "helping" people :rolleyes2

You should think yourself lucky RSL spent his hyper fit time PMing you. You ungrateful little thing!Quote:

I get the PM's and then leave them for a week and if they chase me up after that long then I suppose they want me for something enough to actually make it worth reading the PM.
I never have this problem. Whenever I need an admin, I'm always around.
You stole my answer. :eek:Quote:

Nah, you are crazy!
I've never had to PM an Admin or CK for major reasons.
See, I have Samuraid at my fingertips, which is ALWAYS a good thing when I need to ask a n00b question that can easily be answered in the Help Forum and the handy-dandy SEARCH button. That and technical problems.
well when the pages take two minutes to load every thirty seconds because I've got a new PM and it's one of about 40 PMs that day, it could get a little aggravating xDQuote:

I kinda miss them though ;_;
I've never needed to PM an admin. It doesn't seem like a common occurance :S
So that's why you never answered / did anything about that pm I sent you all those months ago, you meanie :mad2:Quote:

You can PM a Cid's Knight with that kinda stuff if no admins are online.Quote:

Headgear is a Site Staff responsibility.
usually, there are a few admins online when i need to PM one, which i really don't do often however.
I don't bother Admins or Cid's Knights. They all hate me. :(
That's because they're too busy playing with themselves upon seeing pictures of Tifa naked to pay attention here.
Look, just do what I usually do and just sort it out yourself using hax. Honestly you people are so freakin' helpless it isn't even funny.
