Re: Unpleasent captain duties, how do you?

Be upfront about it. Don't sugarcoat it too much, but don't drop him flat on his backside.

I'd try something like "Jimmy, I really don't think the web site is working out--our main site is functioning well enough, and we could really use an extra set of hands on our blahblahblah. Would you mind helping out there?"

Of course, YMMV.
