Hopefully this works out best for everyone, with less pressure on you whilst we still benefit from your experience! Let me know if you have any questions!

:Glad you like it. You don't have to apologise for your inactivity - if you don't enjoy editing and don't want to do it then there's no reason to - but it would be great if we could still benefit from your experience, sills and time when you feel like it. The same goes for other former staff who are similarly experienced. | |||
:To give background, the word 'alumni' usually refers collectively to former students of a college - so there may be a newsletter or party for alumni (arranged by one alumnus). We've twisted the meaning a bit here but its the best word without using 'Retired'. The most accurate word would be 'Emeritus' which refers to someone who used to be in an honourable/senior position but got to keep their title after they retired (so they might be the Chairman Emeritus), but even fewer people would understand what that means so alumni will do! | |||
:The new Alumni group have pretty much the [[Special:ListGroupRights|same basic rights]] as an admin - including deleting, moving, blocking, patrolling, protecting etc. Only a few rarely-used rights have been removed, such as editing the Grand Theft Wiki: namespace or un-deleting deleted pages, as these would cause the most trouble if an inactive account was hijacked by someone malicious. If there are any rights missing, just let me know and I can make adjustments. | |||
:In terms of news, there's nothing huge. I'm just doing a few bits of reorganisation to prepare us better for GTA V in a few months (no date yet). I've removed the Moderator/Patroller/Inspector rank completely (as there's no point having a staff member who can't make admin decisions), and instead given Trusted Users the ability to patrol. I'm definitely open to suggestions if you have any? | |||
:As for specific tasks, there's nothing hugely urgent as there's not been much 'new' for a while. The biggest job on our plates is going through [[:Category:Cleanup]] and fixing all the pages that need work. Quite a few of those pages won't need much cleanup, just a bit of formatting, whilst some will need a total rewrite or to be marked for deletion. If you could work your way through a handful of pages every now and then, that would be a HUGE help! | |||
:Anyway, glad you popped in, and I hope to see you around! [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
