I saw the birthday thread, and I know you already probably have some idea on it, but I also have a few ideas:


 * For giving someone a special shout-out on the Birthday section of the main page, instead of constantly changing the main page try something like this. I find it is a lot more efficient. (I know it looks big, but just go on the main page and it's compressed.
 * It includes birthdays of the cast (on top) and birthdays of the users (on the bottom)
 * How about, instead of having the admins be in charge of everything with announcements, have other users try? "Promote" users to being charge of giving out a birthday message of sorts to the users on their birthday. It shows responsibility and shared leadership. It doesn't make it look like the admins do all the work. And, instead of putting another task on your shoulders, give it to someone else to handle. No offense (but all offense may be taken), but you're not on every single say, and Macy isn't on every single day, Bobbie is barely on anymore (I know she's sick, but still) and Sel is just totally MIA. I honestly think that it could be a bit too much for you to handle, with everything going on.
 * You could do this with a lot of other users: "Promote" certain people to messaging "Happy Birthday" to other users. Have certain people character pages, pairings, and episodes (each group of people per topic). Have others patrol comments. And then in the long run, when you do decide to actually promote someone to a place of power (rollback/admin) those people who are on those jobs and do good at them, they will have like a 90% chance of actually becoming a(n) rollback/admin.
 * On the thing with comments, you might want to hold that off to when people are on actual rollback status. I think I messaged you or Macy or something like this on a thread, but I'll mention it again. When a person is a rollback and looking at comments, they: find the comment warn the user (in the comments and on their message wall) and message you (possibly with evidence) to block them. That way, because admins don't look at the comments sections too often, all you would have to do is block them.

These methods are just a way to take off stress from the admins and make users feel like they all belong and have some sort of role.
