Hidden content: Running LDraw.org (A How To)
Introduction
Orion has been running LDraw.org for a long time (over 20 years at the time of this writing). While he does not intend to step down from that role anytime soon, this article is intended to get any future admin up and running should he be hit by a bus or something silly like that.
