...then start delegating the workload otherwise more and more work keeps getting pilled up on him and the rest of staff...
You don't remember? He has trust issues!
we all know the reality for theymos.
...the people you hire turn out not to be trustworthy...
Here are some reality of other famous people:Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook
Larry Page and Sergey Brin - Google
Steve Jobs - Apple
Bill Gates - Microsoft
How difficult is it to add more staff or assign some dedicated sub board mods?
From his admin panel....
Members > View The Memberlist > User the Search to find the member > Click on the member username > Click on account setting > Change the member group > Click Update!
This seems very difficult.

Again, if you forget - theymos has trust issues!
How difficult would it be to either make more admins or give certain staff access to restore accounts?
Same answer - trust issues.
He is has concern about
bringing new member by having a youTube channel but he has no concern about existing hacked accounts. I see every now and then people are begging for restoring their accounts but theymos has no response! Damn!!! Now I forgot that theymos has trust issues.
People have been waiting a year to get their account back. Is that acceptable?
Well it's acceptable for him! Who are we?(!) I am a Sr. Member with two red tag, you are an alt of a global moderator, iasenko is a Sr. Member trying hard to keep the forum clean, pugman is a Legendary feed-up with having his points out to theymos. There are many more members who really has concern about the forum and willing to volunteer to improve the forum experience. Don't forget there are also some other members who has yes boss, yes boss attitude towards theymos coz he is the ADMIN!
Guess what - I read a newbie or Jr. Member once wrote - theymos do not give a dime about us. If I start to believe that guy then will you blame me?
I mean, what else can we do? Just wait and hope theymos has all the fixes up his sleeve?
Wait patiently until you die! Theymos is working on it! Damn!!!
May be I am talking too much. God knows how many angry faces I will have to face after this.
