Please welcome your new moderators!

*Stinger* · 06-09-2004, 11:04 PM

After much intense discussion, forethought, afterthought, and modifications of our random-number generator program, we have pulled three new moderators out of a hat! Hooray!

Please welcome Intrepid Homoludens, fov, and VoodooFX as your new Adventure Gamers moderators!

We strongly believe the three of them will serve as wonderful facilitators of good discussion without being obnoxious or heavy-handed in enforcing the rules. They will be taking over most of the forum duties that Marek and Doug and I have been performing for lo these many years now.

On that note, you'll all be seeing a whole lot less of me on the forums now. My ultimate plan in hiring three new moderators was to phase myself out almost entirely from the day-to-day discussions, as I just have too much responsibility with the site and various other personal projects and this forum can really be a time-drainer. I hope you all won't feel like I'm any less personal or anything, and I'll certainly be monitoring the Site Feedback forum closely as always. And everyone should always feel free to e-mail, PM, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Y!, snail mail, telegram, whatever me with any questions or concerns about Adventure Gamers, or adventure games in general.

And I'm sure I'll miss you all like crazy in two weeks and start spending an hour a day on the forums again.

But this is the plan for now. Have fun with your new moderators and please continue to read the site that we strive daily to make the best adventure gaming resource on the Internet.

Happy adventuring!

(btw, the reason you don't see the names of the moderators listed on the main forum page yet is that I couldn't figure out how to hack the forum settings...this is why Doug is so much more valuable than me...you'll see the change soon)

Thank you very much. With such nice people on board, like yourselves i really don't think there will be that much work for us. But i'm here if you need anything.

DomStLeger · 06-10-2004, 03:14 AM

Yeah congratulations to the new mods!

UPtimist · 06-10-2004, 04:50 AM

~~Good luck!!~~ Great to have you three as mods. I'm sure we'll settle down after a little "substitute teacher" shenanigans.

I went to grade school with a guy who had a prosthetic leg. One day we had a sub and he removed his leg, hopped up to the teacher holding it out, and said, "Can I go to the nurse?"

I hope that any shenanigans here can be held to that standard.

Good to hear, even if I'll miss your postings here, Stinger. I hope we'll see more content on the site instead.

btw, Stinger and Marek are still listed as the moderators on all forums. Hasn't the change gone through yet?

Well, they still are the big bosses. That means they ought to keep their power, even if they don't intend to use it very often.

I'm not actually able to *do* anything yet (I'm just dying to wield some power!) so I'm assuming the change hasn't gone thru.

Congratulations you three

Please don't wield power on me.

Intrepid Homoludens · 06-10-2004, 12:21 PM

Hookay, now that I rule, first things first:

You're all banned!!!

[suddenly remembers the power to ban is reserved only for Admins, Stinger, and Marek]
