> How is a staff member not as important as a doujin artist?

Which is more important, the people who build and run a museum, or the artists who display their works there? Or, if that sounds too pretentious o you, substitute pretty much anything for "museum".

I do a bunch of admin work, and I don't think that's anything but the internet equivalent of manual labor. I also do translations, and I think that's a whole lot more important, even if I am just working with things created by others.

Of course the users are more important than the admins. People who run sites are worthy of praise for putting in the effort, but really, we're exchangable. Doesn't matter if it's me doing it, or somebody else. If we do our work well, we stay out of the way of the users as far as possible. It's the users who make the board and the community.
