If you could run the MacNN forum for the last 7 days of its existence...

Suppose that MacNN staff knew when the forum would shut down.
You got promoted to forum admin, for the heck of it. That basically means you can do everything that mods can plus more.
You have 7 days. After that the forums are gone. What would you do?

... I'd run it as usual. Home shouldn't change too much.
Though I do run the occasional joke on one member or another. Unfortunately, they don't always notice, even a month later.

The Ca$h sigs were brilliant.
The answer is obvious though. Bring back Kevin.

Speaking of which, what's the average amount of time a new mod spends trawling through the years of dirt on the mod forum?
Does it have a name other than "mod forum"?

I'd encourage gratuitous use of expletives.

How could we ever know? I looked around in stickied and active threads, but I didn't go digging through years of history or anything.

Actually it is called just "Moderators". Sorry, nothing creative.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

This is why you're a mod and I'm not.

Here is what I would do:
1. First, I would create a new forum at the top called "MacNN Going Away Party EVERYONE is invited!"
2. Second, I would un-ban everyone. (Yes, everyone.)
3. Third, I would create a live chat forum. All guests can read but not post. All members can post and upload pics/short videos of themselves doing whatever. The videos would be deleted after an hour to repurpose remaining server space.
4. Fourth, I would add five new moderators to the forum and live chat in case things get too out of hand.
5. Finally, I would co-erce the original forum admins to give a streaming video testimony of their dedication to MacNN and all members can watch. Admins would take and answer our wonderful questions while streaming.

I would consolidate all the sub forums. Too many topics.
...oh and then I'd crash your party and go on a drunken tirade about liberals in a swamp people accent.
