Erxomai has agreed to stay on in the role of super-mod and will be joined at that level by Chas, who has already been helping out behind the scenes for some time, and Kingschosen, who has long been a respected member of the forum.

2 kids barely old enough to drink, an already psychologically scarred Hellbound Preacher now further scarred by his role as super-mod (warned you that was gonna happen, brother), a crotchety old rationalist, and a nihilistic Calvinist determining the direction of the forum. This is gonna be fucking hilarious.

I am glad you approve. I feel better already.

Actually, I think by American laws I'm still too young to drink. Isn't the drinking age 21 in America?

And yet the age on consent is 16-18. WTF?!

since you brought it up Girly, I have to ask (not you Girly, but asking in general)....why was HoC demoted? I mean he's still a veteran here in terms of putting in his time, and I can't see how him pitching a fit this one time can so drastically change the entire teams position on how valued his input is. Is it simply his announced absence?

Not being critical. Just curious, as I suspect the decision may not have had much forethought.

He left the forum. So our new illustrious leaders thought he should probably be replaced by someone that will participate.

Ah shit.

The Prophet's account still looks active to me.

I'm all for this forum change, I really am. The Keystone Cops are still fucking hilarious a century later, that's fucking timeless entertainment right there.

where does one sign up to be a moderator? All these people I enjoy looking at their posts, suddenly are now moderators. I feel like there's this inner circle or something I'm not aware of.

FTR AFAIK there's no sign-up procedure. Some guy hits you over the back of the head as you're ambling merrily around the forum and you wake up in a pink fairy costume...

If everything crashes it's essentially gonna be the fault of me or FSM_scot, we're getting used to the Admin CP.

I'm also happy to say that all our mod candidates have accepted their new roles. The new mods will be Aurora, LadyJane, Bemore, Kim, and Morondog.

Congrats to all new appointees and good luck.


It strikes me that there has been a power-shift across the Atlantic
Hurrah and huzzah!
