I happen to have watched all the episodes of the UK and US Office at least twice, including the Christmas and Comic Relief specials, plus the bloopers/gag reel for both (though there was a blooper with David Brent walking down a corridor with Dawn that I can't find anywhere, anymore) and I much prefer the US Office. As with anyone that's ever been negative about the US version, I have to ask whether you gave up before or after the 3rd season started, because that's pretty much the tipping point from being a diluted copy to the show developing its own identity. It then becomes much easier to connect with, when it stops trying to be something it shouldn't be. You can't make a fair comparison without having watched all of it, just like you can't judge Breaking Bad based on the first couple of seasons alone :)

As far as asking people straight up, there are also pros and cons to that. While Michael and I brought up 3 users in our initial discussion, each, they were in no particular order and there are others that weren't originally discussed that could be good as an admin, too.

Seeing as the plan would be to bring one admin in, we couldn't ask between 6 and 10 people, hoping only one would say yes, as the most likely outcome would be for at least two people to say yes, then having to say to all but one of them that the offer no longer stood. The other option would be to ask people one by one until someone said yes and we wouldn't want someone to think they were some sort of back-up to other prospects.

Besides, people that aren't "the chosen one" may still be considered for increased rights, such as chat/discussions moderator and anything else we have access to, for the time being, to see how they do, as has been suggested :)
