We've had hudreds of threads such as 'Favourite ...'. How about choosing our favourite PA admin then? 
My vote goes to... (though it's very hard to choose, you're all doing a great job guys) ...Tonyyyyyyyyyyy R 
PS 1. I haven't include M@x 'cause as the creator of this wonderful site he would easily beat every other admin I guess... So he's out of the competition. PS 2. Admins are not allowed to vote in this poll. It's only for us - oridinary members. PS 3. I wonder if anyone DARES to vote in this poll .  ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

I voted for Jody though they are all doing a great job  Jody comes and hangs with us in the Velvet Room sometimes and that's why he gets my vote. Special thanks to Atkingani for having repaired my account  -------------  
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

I can't choose between friends... All have been very nice and helpful to me. They are all doing an excellent job, each to his own. There are also great Collaborators who deserve to be mentioned for their wonderful work, but that is for another poll. ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

I voted for Jody because he is a prog-metal freak like me  
BTW, in the collaborators zone, Proglucky is referred as the Founder... you need to revise your books... Max is referred as co-founder.......

ProgLucky is the original founder of the site, max helped him. Both ProgLucky and Max are the owners. Max is the webmaster(he does the programming) and Ron (ProgLucky) is responsible for the content, now with the help of all the collabs. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

I refuse to grovel but I don't have a problem to mention my non-favorite administrator, it's Proglucky because he often takes over my new additions without communication so I do a lot of work in vain  ...

Hmmm, I've had the most exchanges with Martin (Trotsky) and Jody (TheProgtologist), so it's a toss up between them I guess. That being said, they all do a fantastic job.

The Admin team have discussed this thread. While we are sincerely grateful for the support, we feel the poll element is misguided. We did not take on admin roles to be popular. We are very much a team and work together for a common goal. The visible aspects of what we do are only a small part of the work the guys put in to ensure that the site is the best Prog site on the net.
As was mentioned in one of the posts here, a great deal of credit is also due to our special collaborators. They too do a lot of work behind the scenes.
The poll element of this thread has therefore been removed. For the sake of posterity, I will record that at time of writing Jody (The Progtologist) and Tony were in joint first place, and I was proudly last!
For those so inclined, the thread will continue to be available for discussion.

Yes I must say that choosing one would be neglecting the others >> I have many contacts with all of them (I must say more with the more ancient ones) and they are all very much fun to relate to. Great sense of humour is a common trait ofcharacter
As for the two newer Admins, I hope I gat to to know them much better quickly, which does not make a shadow of a doubt it will happen
As foe what Bob says about popularity , Iagree that becoming an admin is not the way to go about it
 They have to deal with the more repressive side of things too and exclude trolls which automatically brings much anger towxards them! Something I must say has made me refuse the task when I was proposed it a few months back
Great job guys ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

agreed
however, the thread asked about favourite, not 'best' or sth like that, so it was a matter of fun, discussion etc.

Not to start a public squabble, but I was around when you removed this poll, Bob ... and I'm pretty sure we were joint last! Anyway, thanks people, for understanding the kind of job we do for the site ... and just wanted to say a word for the "original" admin Maani (Ian Alternman) ... who did a pretty spectacular job often all by himself, for the first year and a half ... BTW, I wouldn't have known whom to vote for, so I would probably have just taken the easy way out by voting for the young feller! ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!

Trotsky brings up a thought thatI had forgotten
Maani's contributions were essential in the Archives and he must be not forgotten , (he still posts once in a while) for this place owes him a good debt.>> thanks Maani

Jody's done a lot for me on this site. I would be unjust saying otherwise. All the admins and special collabs do quite a lot for this site, each in their own ways. I've really begun to appreciate their work since becoming a Prog Reviewer, I just know so much more about this site. -------------

Trotsky (and Sean and Tuzvihar): Thank you for your vote of confidence. It is nice to know that there are at least three people I did not completely piss off! LOL.
Actually, that said, I must agree with EL: even when I seemed to be "doing it on my own," that was never the case. Not only were Rony and Max always there "behind the scenes," but so were Phillipe, Peter (Rideout), and then Easy Livin, Useful Idiot and others. Then Tony R and others joined in, and we were one big happy (or, at least, happily dysfunctional) family. But as EL says, the administration of the site has always been a joint effort between those "on the front lines" and those "behind the scenes." And it is true that collaborators, and even some senior members, play roles in the ongoing maintenance and direction of the site.
Anyway, it is good to be back, even if only occasionally, to join in interesting discussions, and "spar" with old (and new) debating partners...I look forward to pissing off even more people! LOL.
Peace.
