I don't know what you count as 'admin department', but I have the status of editor here. Meaning I have FTP and SSH access the the server machine, and can edit other people's Comments and articles through extra menu options. I was given these rights for the specific purpose of maintaining and developing the Interactive Diagram, and upgrading articles wherever possible by replacing their main diagram with an Interactive Diagram that could play the described game. Sadly I haven't been able to do much of the latter lately, due to lack of time. I had been going at it alphabetically earlier, but never progressed beyond H. And in the mean time the capabilities of the I.D. have been extended such that many variants I had to skip at the time could get one too.
I am not sure what 'old fashioned' means. But suggestions for improvements are always welcome.
Things I personally dislike about the site is the primitive nature of the article-submission system, without any help for inserting diagrams. (Requiring you to go to other diagram-generating pages, and then copy-paste HTML code.)
I am not sure why it would be beneficial for Game Courier to be on a separate domain. (It used to be at play.chessvariants.com before it was moved to the 'play' sub-directory.) Domain names are pretty much becoming a technical detail, which users mostly ignore. If there is a page they want to visit often they just book-mark it.
