This is just an idea which struck into my mind.How about multiple bosses. If a boss gets inactive or is away for some reason the other one can look after that forum. That's a pretty good idea I think, but it all still lies on you staff and other members. So ?

Bosses are not there to moderate or approve posts - they don't need to be there all the time.
They are there to make decisions on the sort of thing that goes on in that forum. They don't need to be there 24/7 to enforce that. Think of them as "tweaking" the forum and nudging it in the right direction, rather than having to write the content themselves or approve everyone else's posts.
We've coped alright without bosses for the past few years, so if one goes away for a week or so, it won't be a problem. If a boss leaves the forum or becomes inactive, then we may seek to replace them, but there's no rush.
Also, two people won't have exactly the same ideas. Too many cooks spoil the broth. If it was just moderating, then sure the more the better. But since they are making personal judgements and decisions (rather than just enforcing the rules), we can't have two at a time.

I'd like to have gaming, if it ever becomes available.
Second choice would be the Computer and Tech forum, but there's pretty little activity there.. Mainly just me and a handfew of some other people..
To think of it, Serious Chat and The Lounge are pretty awesome too.
I guess I'd have to be a bit less cocky though..
