Aurali is a member now, I wonder what happened? There's a new admin, EDFDarkangel, maybe he's the new lead?

Aurali is no longer involved with site development at Dragonfruit Ventures, the company that owns e621.net, which was also the reason why she had the admin rank on the site at the time.

EDFDarkangel is the Dragonfruit general manager and is serving as an interim lead admin for e621.net while they finalize things. There's no big announcement for it or anything because it's intended to be very temporary.

*popcorn*
Are you able to fill us in on why? I assume that she had some manner of differences with the incoming administration changes?

"EDFDarkangel" as a user name... yeah, actually, I'll just stop here.

I'm afraid not, as it's not my information to give, nor do I have any details about it anyways. If Aurali wants to provide any additional information, that's up to her.

I will miss her. She was the one that gave me an upgraded account for not sucking :)

That is strange, Char gave me one for the exact opposite reason.

Updated by anonymous

I got an upgrade for no reason that I know of.
Maybe because I'm active, and have had an account since forever?

If he's going to serve as your replacement, even if it's temporary, can he at least learn how to tag his uploads and stop deleting valid tag aliases?

I think having almost 8000 tag edits is a perfectly valid reason. Also we don't always notify people when we upgrade them.

She appears to no longer be a member of the staff, so I think we can rule that out.

Oh now, sure.
At the time I had like 10 though.

I don't mind though, it's nice even if I don't know why I got it really.

Char's right, and I've been working with him, Varka, and Aurali for a little over a year in the background. It was only recent that I created my own separate admin profile (I've been using Dragonfruit until then, so I'm not really "new" :P )

The ticket backlog is resolved. Char had implemented a fix I asked him to do, and it caused a problem no one foresaw.

The decision to appoint a lead admin is coming near a close as, I assure you, one is needed. I've been told by far too many people about the history of e621, and it is my intention to never let it get as bad as it used to be.

As for tagging uploads, I went to lunch after posting that, then went back to put some tags when I saw a bunch were already on there. Sorry about that mistake, I know better next time. Also, thank you to those who tagged it for me!

Also, I will never delete a valid alias. The word "valid" is key, here :)

I'm not really sure how you can make the determination that a tag alias was 'valid' when you didn't bother having any sort of discussion on it.

Updated by anonymous

Which valid aliases have been deleted so far? Just Earth_Pony?

I say no head admin, all disputes to be settled by Roman style gladiator combat.
