The site IS outdated looking, no doubt about that. But getting it redesigned takes money to have it done if you don't have knowledge on how to do so and time. I have the knowledge, but I also know the time it takes, and how much it costs to hire someone. Perhaps Dr. Bob, if he still is that the university, he might have an intern knowledgeable in this area. But I doubt with all he is busy with, the look of this site isn't high on the priority list.
Even though the rules are always "up for debate" history has shown it rarely ever ends positively, if anything, it seems likely to cause more riffs and hurt feelings overall. I am guessing more blocks have been issued on the administration board than any other. It makes one wonder if having the administration board available creates a platform for more conflict and uncivil-ness. It would certainly be the perfect design experiment for research on conflict and resolution. haha! Rules aren't decided by anyone other than Dr. Bob. It's his site, he can do as he wishes. Members should just accept that and save themselves a lot of time and grief over it and leave it be. Or leave. It's a simple choice, really. That being, I agree, administration should be closed or private for overall harmony of the site. I rarely have see any changes made or much of anything positive in my view. If you want to be in the clubhouse, you have to play by the owner's rules. Simple enough I believe.
I have learned the hard way in life, somethings just can't or won't be changed and it would be more fruitful of your time and energy to pursue other causes where you can make a difference or be the change you wish to see. There are many causes out there,you just have to pick the right ones. :)
