As Justin and Peter have already said, I am the only administrator. Justin simply has the title "Server Admin" because that is the kind of admin he has always been seeing the hosting is on his server, he's not an actual forum administrator. Justin remains a Super Mod and we have also made Peter a Super Mod as you may have already noticed. He will be assisting in any php related issues, and has already implimented a Signature Preview pane under the User Control Panel. All other moderators remain at this point in time unless for some reason they wish to step down.
I also want to let everyone know, that although the administrative structure has changed, we plan on Oddworld Forums being your forums. Being run by the members. One of the first things we talked about yesterday and plan to impliment is a feedback and suggestions forum. We encourage members to provide their input, as to what they want out of Oddworld Forums, or to tell us about any problems, etc. We also want to put more Oddworld focus back into the forums, and perhaps provide discussion for Oddworld related real-world issues. We have other ideas too, but we'll have to see what happens.
Sydney, we appreciate that you want us to change the design of the forums. Originally I was intending to keep the current design out of respect. But it's also exciting to be able to work on a new design. I am also going to look into the possibility of creating two designs, a standard forum design, and an Oddworld-Web layout. This way, users could decide which design they like best and are able to use the one of their liking.
I realize that so far there are some who are hesitant and unsure of the change. People don't like change ... even myself has found it difficult to adapt to change in the past. It's just like the Xbox... many opposed it, but now you don't hear many complaining like in the past.
We are entering a new era for Oddworld Forums, and one that we are going to put all our efforts into to make Oddworld forums a place for everyone.

It was all a misunderstanding, and I'm sad to see Sydney leave over it.
