*BRRRRRR BEEEEP HISSSSSSSSSS ZZZAPPPP* - Umm, h-hello?  Is this thing on?link to pic source
Uhh hi, my name is TSO and I am your friendly neighborhood overlord.  I am the head administrator of Maidens of the Kaleidoscope as well as its sole defender against the terrors of the digital void.  After Katchura excused himself of the site almost 6 years ago, I took admin duties and stewardship of the community over along with Seventh Holy Scripture and Leviathean.  I became the technician and server administrator (well really, the only person with any sort of extensive administration experience and the masochistic tendencies to do it).  We've had several servers and hosts over the years and for the most part I've been the designer and maintainer of all the backbone infrastructure that makes MotK tick.  I am also the site's web designer, albeit a horribly unsuccessful one as I've yet to finish any of the myriad of web projects I've threatened over the years (frontpage anyone?). 

My role prior to that was operator (@) in #shrinemaiden and general channel annoyance.  I tagged along with 7hs and a few other people from another community (MegaTokyo) and since then this has been my home on the Interwebs.  When Keine was born I was given joint ownership by 7hs and helped myself to channel ops, at first mostly as a joke, but later I began taking on a leadership role in the channel.  My first and probably biggest contribution to the community at the time was the construction and administration of Yurika, MotK's first server.  She was originally intended to be a game server and file dump for the channel but later evolved into Keine's home and then PPIrC's first IRC server.  She has long been retired and now rests as my file server at home, filled to brim with 6TB of the most vile of porn you can imagine my data.  For the most part I've kept my hands off the forums except in a technical capacity.  My realm was IRC and my network, PPIrC.net, my pride and joy.  7hs paid for the forum server, I paid for the IRC servers and managed the technical aspects of both while he handled the moderation and politics.

But after a major break-in involving the IRC server and a growing discontentment amongst the community (as well as SMF 2.0 finally reaching RC status), we completely revamped our server structure and reset the community and forums (Herefore known as SECOND IMPACT).  From scratch Triela, then primary server for the IRC network, was redesigned to host the forums.  Suzuran, resident magical girl and somehow the only person in the world nerdier than I, took over hosting and technical management of the IRC server (the attack came from web stuff I had on Triela).  I also decided to take a more active role in the forums, feeling personally responsible for their decay.

And now, 2 years later, here we are. ^^;;

Dead Princess Sakana:
What's the source for that cute pic in the OP there?  :3

MotK has a good number of different positions of administration. Acolytes, Janitors, Admins, Global Mods etc.
Some people might say that's more than is really needed. What do you think about all the positions?

Rin Kagamine:
What got you interested in science, specifically the nuclear side of it?  Was it related to your interest in computers?
What would it take to get you to leave your current state?
Do you like Skyline chili?

Yakitori:
What do you think was the worst thing (besides the April Fools incident) that happened on MotK? How was it resolved?

Zengar Zombolt:
:ohdear:

How would you define you and Seventh as a team?
