    Default Where's an Admin when you need one?

    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.

    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.

    I would choose the first option and say that they never abandon me but it's grammatically incorrect.

    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.

    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.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    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.)

    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.
