As we continue to lower the boundary to enter for NNF, making some better tools available to site admins so that they don't have to FTP in to the server to make changes (it's not always possible 'on the move') will be helpful.

A simple answer to this is to make the first user listed in the global mods.txt defined as the site admin (since it's usually they who installed NNF in the first place).

An '/admin/' section of the site will then allow only that user access to a set of scripts and controls (e.g. #95, #96, #97) to help with site administration without having to FTP in.

With the ability to identify the site-admin (above regular moderators) we could also add things like a "sticky / unsticky" thread button and controls to create / delete sub-forums.
