It's already decent model for anarcho-communism, essentially owned by the people, policed by the people, absolutely zero authoritative structure. Its like Rojava only ISIS is lild, quack and sannit, and the 11 US military bases are just mods and admins who don't really do anything productive.

Main difference being it's mostly dead. Do the ads pay the server fees? What's the monthly shortfall?

Thats pretty generous read of the situation. But this is a fun game. Ill play.

I see uninspired, absentee administrators who inherited their power out of a rote sense of seniority and hierarchy but who have no interest in actually maintaining, much less building, the whole of their community. The authority structure that is in place is completely unaccountable to the people, with purposefully opaque rules that are defined and enforced on the whims of the authority.

But different authority figures have different definitions and enforcement mechanisms. This would be untenable if we had an active admin team but instead, they just show up to pimp their preferred little communities of private servers, leaving the whole of this community to whither and decay.

I'd call it Rome during the crisis of the third century, but I think that would make you Diocletian and that's far too kind of an analogy.
 
why, his divine grace chops if you do have more suitable candidates for staff, i'm all ears! :^]

I got this mod power because I saw Lies to the community (conq) doing really dumb things. I wanted to try to understand why he was doing them and also do my part to bring justice to those that were suddenly banned without warning. Turns out he was basically crazy for a few days and after that we went back to normalcy. Also sanit almost bought the site which would have been interesting.

I'm good with how the site is under our "anarcho-communism" or whatever political agenda memes queen Selaya promotes. It's stable.

I don't understand the whither and decay thing you suggest but I am indeed a pimp and thank you.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think it's fine. The forums work well enough under a hands off approach.

I just wanted to make the Diocletian reference and it required a bit of set up. Not wholly inaccurate but certainly hyperbolized.
 
Well.
In any case, the way I see it, people seriously and consistently underestimate the choice of doing nothing as, bar corner cases this is the most consistent way to ensure you do not fuck things up. So yeah, in this case I'd consider No News to be the Best News.

After all, we've seen what the overzealous Conq's brought us in the past with his deeds. :^]
 
ik i've been away for some time, but me getting into classic and finally twinking again i'll be around more regularly and doing my old duties.
