I’ve honestly always been a bit mystified over the purpose of the two accounts, but I have no objection to it. Can’t really answer the question, though.
However you define what you’ve been doing, I’d say keep it up. Membership seems growing, the posts are interesting and the dialog polite and civilized. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Here is truth and wisdom

Originally I intended Mike for purely TWW moderation and Angel Barracks to be me, where I can join in and give views and stuff about things and what not.
But as time elapsed I could not be bothered with swapping accounts so they are pretty much interchangeable, though Mike is more the voice of TWW than AB…
That’s OK for me.
And don’t be shy to reprehend me if I do something wrong.

https://www.anargader.net/The only thing I can add is a tip re multiple logins: If you set up two profiles in your browser, you can have them both open at once. One logged in as Mike, one as AB.
I just use two different browsers. Maybe not as elegant, but handy for troubleshooting issues.
You need lots of arbitrary and erratically enforced rules, random polls of no consequence and incomprehensible but neverending petty feuds to be a proper ‘leading’ site.
In other words don’t change a thing!

Sometimes I think that TWW could pick up a few ideas from another wargaming website eg cross posting threads. Then I think: do not go near the edge of the cliff . That way lies madness.

Oops, my sarcasm tags on that quote disappeared. Sorry Mike!
Is that what you were looking for?
Partially.
Other than moderating the forums and posting news and doing the more obvious admin stuff, do people expect me to populate the calendar with events, the directory with companies and the club finder with clubs?
Also, who should be responsible for attracting new members?I like to think of TWW as a community, a phrase I use a lot when describing it.
And I kind of want people to help build it, together.
I have laid the foundations and will continue to add content, but the help of the community (that word again) is needed to make it even better I think.Is that something you think you could/should do?
Maybe as simple as making sure your favourite clubs/web-shops and events are listed?How much of making TWW better do you all see as my job and how much as a joint effort.
I figure your role should be maintaining an environment where people feel happy to contribute. You seem to be doing that very well, the moderating is very light handed, the forum doesn’t have any bugs I’m aware of and there is a general air of positivity about the place.
With regard to attracting new members, I’d kind of rather they come in in ones and twos as they find the site, a flood of new people arriving all at once risks changing the nature of the place. Which I understand probably doesn’t sit well with the business plan for TWW, sorry.
As for clubs and events, Zippy makes a valid point, plus it would be difficult to try to manage all that data yourself.
To be fair I am happy to input all the data, the real effort is hunting around the internet for the data.
That is why the clubs and events pages have forms for people to fill out, easy for them and easy for me to stick on the site.
Similar thing with companies, adding the data is not a problem for me, finding it in the first place is..Hmmmmm I will ponder a recruitment drive prize thingy!
