Our own reader50 has accepted the mantle of Administrator; he brings to this position way more technical expertise and experience than I have ever had, and we all hope he knows what he's gotten himself into!
Demonhood and I are also very happy to have more help in the "back office" operations of the forums. Between Demonhood's vast and awe inspiring prowess in wrangling vBulletin, and my ... my.... Well anyway, between us, we've been doing OK. That's not enough. So reader50's excellent abilities will make things much better for everyone. Now, if he'll explain to me what it is he's doing, I'll be a lot happier.

Don't be shy Glenn, you made it sound like… a "Pinky & The Brain" sort of collaboration, and my guess is you are way better than Pinky when it comes to… to…

My thanks to all, I couldn't have done it without your votes.
I now pledge to turn away the most embarrassing bribes going forwards. Reduced corruption will bring increased prosperity to our children, along with tax breaks and ...
Uh ... uhm. Wrong election. Maybe I should stick to my specialty, catching the tricky spammers who try to blend in.

a couple days on the job, and we're happy to report that reader50 is not yet drunk with power.

This is true. No photographing people can hula-hoop like the ’Hood.

Oh good - new admin, new chance to get the code tag fixed. We currently have a code tag, but for some reason it deletes all newlines, as you can see:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, const char **argv) {
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}
Why it smashes all that onto one line, I don't really understand. Fortunately, we have another code tag, the [codex] tag, which looks like this:
[codex]#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, const char **argv) {
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}[/codex]
Unfortunately, this one destroys all indentation, which makes long code snippets hard to read. In the example above, the printf and return statements should be indented, but they're not.
Could our new admin fix these little issues, pretty pretty please? I can't imagine it'd be very difficult to do.

You used to be good for a few comments a month.
I guess I'll go back to putting bizarre search terms into the NN to fill the void.

It is always fun to watch the hamster slowly suck more people into its service.

This is a royal pain in our collective arse and has been for quite some time. It seems like every time we install a new vBull update a bunch of tags and features break-and not in the same place as last time, either! I don't know if reader will be able to do anything about it, but I guarantee that he's aware of it and hates it as much as the rest of us.

I vote on having reader50's first job be setup a proper testing environment for testing new versions of vBulletin, and in coming up with a checklist of code changes and other modifications which need to be checked against each upgrade. Then when he's done with that, a cronjob to automatically lock threads older than a certain date...
Just my two cents....
