    Out of ten rate your experience as an administrator, then rate out of ten based upon how enjoyable it has been and also how much stress out of ten it has been.

    My overall admin experience I would say is about 8 or 9.

    My enjoyment I would say a 10.

    Stress amount a 6.

    My experience would be a 9.5
    Enjoyment is 10, but at times a 7.
    Stress amount is a 8, gets higher and higher as AdminBB grows. Its really stressful running an admin forum.

    Probably between a 8 and 9. I love being an admin. Stress? I don't stress over anything because my administration has been learnt over various projects throughout the years. Stress is for jokers!

    My enjoyment is defiantly 10/10, while the stress is more of a 7 or 8/10. Experience wise, I would have to say my greatest accomplishments are all my failures, so I would say 9/10 for that.

    I have seen so many of my projects die, but I enjoy this too much to give up yet!

    Well, if you learn how to deal with forum stress, and not let it get to you, then that's what matters. If your community is stressing you out, then its time to take a break from things, right?

    Sometimes a break isn't always good. Im getting pretty stressed because of some situations but taking a break would just cause AdminBB to be inactive. But in some cases a break is needed.

    Well kind sir, why are you feeling so stressed? A break can be from anywhere, a day to a few weeks and such.

    Certain things to do with people impersonating me, and spamming AdminBB on other sites.

    Well, online, there will always be people that try to take you down. I had this happen to me 2 years ago and it wasn't pretty, they even went on to try to sell one of my websites. =/

    Experience level, probably a 6, stress level varies, but at the moment that's in the middle, as we're battling spambots again, enjoyment has been at an all-time high for the last 9 months, except once, I don't see myself giving this up anytime soon!

    Yea I agree with you, but taking a break wouldn't help right now.
