If you're going to be successful, I'm going to tell you from experience this is not where you want to locate staff members. As your community grows you will run into people who have a sort of "love" for your server. It's an awesome feeling knowing you provides that. People who are looking for op or admin or other positions here are usually just "power hungry". I like your goals and views, reminds me of myself when I ran servers. I ran a successful 400 slot bukkit server, FuryMC. I know I'm contradicting myself here but I like the views you have and your maturity level which is hard to find. If you'd like a partner who can steer you in the right direction, shoot me a pm. Also I configure any plugin with ease as well as some plugin development.
P.s. step 1: never ever use no-ip :)
