New UK Forum Admin

After months of delays and plenty of complaints Travian Games have finally announced the new admin for the UK Forums. Avi, known best for her guides and as a long time crew member will now take over permanently from the temporary forum admin shadowspirrit. The reasoning given behind the large delay seems to be training time although this does not seemed to have caused any issues for previous staff appointed to the position so some people have found that dubious.

From what I can tell Avi will start by trying to fix all the little issues that can be seen on the UK forums like poor thread organisation and an annoying and uninformative infraction system. She seems to have already made a well needed step in the right direction by redifining the thread prefixes for all announcements, rules and competitions in the announcements area of the forum to help organisation. I'm also hoping to see some larger scale changes to improve the forums and make them more accessible and generally easier to use although since admins do not have access to the server addons and mods will most likely not be on the agenda.

Avi does have a tough job a head of her, with many people wondering whether she can do what is needed to be truely welcomed by the communithy. A while ago the UK lost one of their previous forum admins, Tullia, (now FA on the .IN Domain) in the Laikagate and since then all the admins appointed to the role have been compared to her with none (except possibly El Ryano) coming off favourably. Personally I think Avi has the determination and skill to make herself one of the better admins the UK Domain has ever had, with her knowledge of both the game and forum she is going to be able to use her expertise to great affect.

Anyway, if anything does happen just look for it here.
