[ADMIN] Looking for new admin
I've thought about this for a while. I've been slowly losing interest in the rotation for some time now. Some of you may have noticed that I've been late more than a couple of times in posting "request" entries as well as the newsletters. Part of it is due to my workload. It is my final semester right now and it is certainly more carefree than the previous ones. But somehow, there's always something to do and I end up being so busy that I forget about the rotation. I'm graduating but I will be (hopefully) going back to school next semester and I'd be even busier then. Also part of it is that I'm losing interest in the Japanese music industry itself. I can't even remember the last time I bought a single or album.

I've considered letting someone take over admin duties temporarily like I've done before but I thought I'd be able to do it myself. Now, I'm not so sure I can. So I'm thinking of letting someone take over the rotation completely as a new admin. I will remain on the staff - it's easier than going through the master playlist and pulling out all of my entries. So I will still upload if my albums get requested. But everything admin-related will be handled by someone else. For example, putting up "request only" entries, assigning requests to the staff, adding new staff, playlist maintenance, etcetera.

But, I won't let just anyone take over as the new head. There are no formal requirements but I do have preferences. Current staff members are preferred over non-staff. And even then, active staff members are preferred. (You may have noticed that I haven't been enforcing the 4-months rule for staff much either.) In other words, if the staff member hasn't posted anything for the past 3 months or so - not even staff picks - that's considered inactive. Why current staff over non-staff? Well, I trust them more and I know they have a more vested interest in the rotation than non-staff. Plus, they know how the rotation works better than non-staff.

If you want to do this, let me know. Hey, who knows, maybe the new admin may be able to bring new things to the rotation - which you must admit is rather cut and dry at this point. =P
