It basically sat around doing nothing for ages, and then a community started to form. However, the guy who actually owned the domain sold it without telling me, hence why we all moved here.
I'm by no means the "master" administrator though. I can get overruled/outvoted just like any other member of staff.

We used to use Apache, but Apache is bloated and terrible. Now we use nginx. Administrative duties not relating to the server are carried out by our four Administrators.
