- A new dev team structuring, that is posible
- A webmaster who is not a dev, that is NOT possible
- A total overhaul for this site, possible but do not expect that to happen in this month
- The lead developer will probably always be someone that is not present in here anymore.
- A curious fact for everyone: sphereserver.net has been redirected to menasoft.com

The webmaster primary job should be working on the website, and only the website.. That's why I say he shouldn't be a developer. He needs to dedicate his time to the website, community and everything about the 'Face' of Sphereserver. An active dev doesn't have time to do both. Thats why I say we need someone in charge of the website, who has nothing to do with the actual development process.

Now, I'm not saying take the devs out of the entire process, I just think the guy who's in charge of the website should be the only one actively working on the site and take input from the devs when needed. This doesn't mean that the devs won't have power/control on the site, it just means the main webmaster will control the layout, style, moderators, sections and features of the site unhindered.. The devs will just utilize the tools the webmaster gives them.

Sphereserver.net redirecting to menasoft is a very bad sign I think That means they made the actual effort to setup a generic redirect to their main website and didn't even bother explaining what happened to Sphere. That's a sign they *really* don't care at all anymore what so ever. It's the same thing I do when I shut down a website, I redirect it to my main site, rayvolution.net just so it goes somewhere.

Honestly, if they gave 2 damns, they would redirect it to SphereCommunity instead, or give us the domain and we could move SphereCommunity over there..

Whats ironic is menasoft.com is also a dead website.

EDIT: Both sphereserver.com and .net don't expire until 2015.. so if we have any chance of taking back the domain, that's a long way off. Also, the stupid domain bots may get it first anyway, those little guys are sneaky
