Ash, have you considered selling the site?
I appreciate and can fully understand you have moved on to pastures new and don't have the time to actively moderate yourself.
By having a team of new admin/moderaters, are you going to therefore check up on it even less?
Ultimately the large decisions will be up to you, but if a new admin was to reopen the classifieds one day, and other things materialise with it, are you going to be able to keep up with the direction the site goes in?
This is nothing personal to you at all, but can I ask where you see yourself in the team? Are you going to visit even less with others running the site?
It would be almost unfair to offload the responsibilities to the new team and then continue to sit on the pot if you do have little interest in the site now - which I don't believe is the case.
Again this is not a negative personal attack, and hats off to you for spending the time to overhaul the site recently. By spending so much of your time redeveloping features proves your heart was in it. To then let it all get a bit out of hand is a shame. Would it perhaps be because of the way the atmosphere went negative after all your efforts that you thought 'f*ck it'?
I thought twice about posting this, but it may provoke some thoughts from yourself or others. As I have said numerous times, i'm not a paid member because I think there are niggles to iron out before I do. I think it sounds like it will go in the right direction, and when it does I will happily put my hand in my pocket.
On the other hand, to show I'm not all negative, I would be prepared to also give something back and help out in the future.
