Keeps going in circles - the server is empty more than it's full (by a large margin): http://sourceop.hlstatsx.com/overview/3 .
If the server's full for 3 hours a day (ignoring this past Saturday, and technically in the last two days - Monday and Sunday -it has only been full for one hour, mostly full for 2.5 more) then it doesn't warrant an additional admin. If regulars (and I again echo my disbelief it has regulars with those kind of active hours) do play there, use contact admin if there's an issue. Butane jumps on when he sees it's not empty (similar to what he did with PH) so you even have an admin that plays there.
It doesn't matter if BBQ is the greatest admin ever - won awards for his admin ability in the world admin championships, wrote books on how to admin effectively and currently admins the WOPR server from WarGames. There's nothing to currently admin.
Here''s an example:
The item buy/sell/trade part of SourceOP Forums needs a number of moderators to keep it sane. This is because it's populated, active, and sees a lot of traffic. The HL2 part of the SourceOP forums is empty, never sees any posts outside spam and maybe 3-4 real ones a year and only has ~2 moderators (who moderate all the other parts of the forums). If someone that was a regular in the past in the HL2 subforum came and requested someone new be made a moderator of it, the answer would be 'no'. There's already moderators that have access to it to clean up spam, enforce rules, etc. There's no posts, so no reason to add more moderators. If the HL2 traffic increased (or was obvious it was going to increase) to the Items subforum levels, then sure.
