LP101 Moderator Announcement

Postby Squelchtone » 30 Dec 2014 23:29

Good Evening LP101 Members,

As 2015 quickly approaches, we are working diligently behind the scenes making the forum better than ever. You may have noticed some of the changes and there are plenty more to come.

I do not do this alone, and it has taken a small army of people a considerable amount of time and effort to keep the forum running over the years.

From keeping topics on topic, to breaking up squabbles, to helping fight spam, the lp101 moderators have done an incredible job keeping the forum running smoothly. Their job is tireless and often thankless. Over the years moderators have come and gone. Their every day lives, educations, jobs, families, loved ones, and other passions in their lives no doubt compete for their time here, and after all this is just an internet forum so I couldn't expect them to moderate forever.

It is with that, that I announce a changing of the guard. keysman, unlisted, and mcm757207 will be assuming the new rank of Moderator Emeritus, an honorary rank created to commemorate a moderator's service to the forum. Please give a warm thank you for the work they put in over the years.

You may be thinking it will be total chaos without moderators on the forum, but remember that we still have mh and MBI keeping a watchful eye on the forum. MacGyver101 who has been part of the moderator team for years now helping battle spam has been promoted to the role of full Moderator. Please give him a big congrats when you talk to him.

To help keep the forum on the right track as we gain steam in the new year, I have appointed two new moderators. Their dedication to this forum, to our community and to the hobby of locksport is not difficult to notice and made my choice easy when deciding on new blood for the forum.

Please welcome femurat and GWiens2001 as they assume their Moderator duties.

I hope you're as excited about this news as I am! I look forward to great things for our forum in the coming year, and I thank you for being a part of it.

Congratulations on your new positions.
