I wouldn't mind being an admin, I'd probably be on here a lot more :] and host more tournaments and such What is stopping you from attempting to host tournaments now? :P Out of curiosity, what is the purpose of adding a new admin ( besides trying to start over with the Pokemon League)? The inactivity of the site is due primarily to the decline in interest in Pokemon in general after the "newness" of X/Y ended. In my opinion, the lack of things to do here other than FCs and trades (such as tournaments) has also been a contributing factor. Now that the Hoenn games have been announced, activity should start to pick up again with time. Ultimately, this is my question: what can a new admin do to benefit the forum that normal users can't do already?

Now that the Hoenn games have been announced, activity should start to pick up again with time. Ultimately, this is my question: what can a new admin do to benefit the forum that normal users can't do already? Admins don't really provide much, but when they're active, it speaks. Seeing inactive admins doesn't say much for the community, especially people who are thinking about joining. It makes it seem like the site is dead. But seeing admins actively participating in forum discussions, polls, activities, and the like is always nice to see for people who are new or are coming back to the forums. I've seen both ways in many different sites I've been a part of. The places where admins actively contributed to the community thrived. Places where admins stopped being a part and just got on every now and then to make sure we hadn't ruined the site, well, eventually fell into ruin. So to answer your question, an admin can't do anything differently than what we're doing to change anything. But when they're active, it really makes a difference. And of course, everything I just said is from personal experience and is not necessarily going to happen here. In fact, we may never get new admins, but this place could thrive, like you said. Really nothing we can do about it except stay positive and not completely trash the sight, lol. =]

I'd really love to host tournaments and stuff but I doubt that would get a lot of attention :) I don't know how Jay and Jirachi become really big in the Pokemon community, probably took them a couple years and I doubt I would be able to do that. I'm pretty sure they actually get paid to do it too :P but if word gets out, I'd love to take over the Battle Network :)

I think GoJosh idea of having a tournament could possibly bring site's activity back up. It really sucks that the admins have become inactive and that the site's overall activity has dropped. I still come on here every day or two and it just sucks that there's nothing really new on here.

A tournament doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. But who would actually join? I don't wanna be disappointed by the outcome :P
