Having brandy out the back. He is on often, but he is busy, just like you, me and everyone else in this world.
Does he even come to friday meet anymore?..
Like clockwork unless he forgets or otherwise is unable
Any intention of a mass email?
Probably said already, but it will be shot out when newgrounds is buffed out
That new person who joined forums to help out did she just vanish?
No, it turned out she had a life.
Any intention on advertisement?
Do you really expect anyone on here to know the answer to that?
Any intention on not relying ingame players to spot multi's/scripters and actually get up and do something?
Do you expect him to scroll over the thousands of players (like his scripts would) and check them out based on relative IP address's stats etc (like his scripts would)? He has done something that would otherwise take him awhile to do, and if you haven't thought about it yet there isn't really much else he can do.
Alternatively, instead of asking questions about admins intentions to the community, you could always ask them to him...or get someone to ask them...or send an email to him...or get someone to send an email to him....
@everyone on about the decrease in players, I wouldn't just solely blame it on the lack on change from admin J, this is a turn/text based game, an old game by today's standards, inevitably with a lack of an active admin (ok lets just cut it down to a lack of change, no one would really care if they saw admin prancing around everywhere, they just want shiny new things to play with and they want his attention) it has fastened up that core reason.
Also I would be interested to see how many people step up to the plate and offer their coding skills for free, I would even like to see how many people have the accomplished experience to be able to handle it. Plus I have a small hunch admin wouldn't just let his pride and joy roll with another person, so prep for some showmanship.
As for scripters, well it happens in all games, there is only so much you can do, and I have given admin some ideas to cut them down, whether he has implemented them or not is his problem

I do laugh at people that just complain though, like my father who hates the political side of Australia and their ability to make money vanish, up the taxes, and give themselves pay rises, but actually does nothing whatsoever and just complains to the family about it. Perhaps if you actually helped AJ a bit more than just shouting a few keywords or throwing an idea on the forum where you know he never appears, then he might do something. Reminds of bug threads in ascended, especially the more recent tourney ones, people were all like ZOMG I haven't got my planets, at which point I would sit back an ponder on how their thought processes got them to the point where they actually expect me to know; who to give them to, how many they think they should get, who was affected etc. and then anticipate that I could do it in a matter of hours. Multiply that by 8 pages of people **Filtered** about the same thing, with it only affecting a handful of people, and me fully aware of the problem a page or two in, not helpful in the least
.
That being said I say we all just go to an IRC meet and see what his plans are for main (if he will do anything on there) and just bombard him with forum links, leading him to suggestion threads. If he does nothing, we can do it again.
