Yes, new groups. But how has the number of *active* groups changed?

Define “active”. Does activity require a specific number of posts per day for a particular group? A specific number of views per day? A specific number of e-mail subscriptions? Who is to set the baseline for comparison?

I don’t know. But, if things are going to be justified by this ‘growth’, then I think it’d be a good idea if someone spelt out what that growth was.

Presumably those that are claiming this ‘growth’ requires/justifies for Administraion have some hard evidence of this growth.

   This growth, or expansion of the grouping tree (we could debate semantics all day long and not agree on what “growth” really is be it bandwidth, posters, readers or compartmentalization), was spurred by the desires of the community.

  
  

Server load issues, technical rather than Administrative I think. (More Administration doesn’t solve problem)


What’s the problem again?

I don’t think there is a problem that can be solved by extra Administration.

   Growth is needed to justify increased administration? I’ve simply tried to state that since LUGNETs inception, it has become more responsibility (again, another possible definition of growth) than one or two people can handle while balancing “real life”. Remember, for most people this is a hobby, not full-time employment.

Okay, then demonstrate that it is more responsibility now.
