I too miss the "ask the admins" board.

1. I wish Skinner would slum with us here in the Lounge.

We never see him anymore. :(

2. If he took my advice

he would slum as a sock-puppet
and so we would never know. (and then he would be like an 'angel unaware' and we masses would never know if we were being either cruel or kind or ignoring Skinner. As you do to the least DUer, you do to Skinner.)
It is impossible for him to do anything as 'skinner'
without drawing too much attention to himself

but it is still possible to privately 'ask the administrators' or mods as I a few months ago asked that timeless classic 'why was my post deleted?' (although the answer was not the obvious - 'because it sucked' but rather that it was swept up in a deleted sub-thread)
