There Be Moderators Here!

[Pekka]

We've had some mod babies a moment ago! See http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showgroups.php for details.

[condyk]

Man ... I missed out again :lol::lol::evil:

Congrats ... a great bunch of newbies and good to see a more cosmopolitan influence ;-)

[CyberDyneSystems]

Pekka, which Mod is tasked with following Dave around again?
:lol:

congrats all!

[condyk]

Yeah ... I am getting suspicious. I had you and Tommy spyin' last year, Pete has been on my trail this year, I got Olli and Tommy again in Africa this year and then ::John Boy:: trying to fix me up with some rich, funny crackin' Aussie Sheila :rolleyes:

Very disappointed not to see Petkal on the list, even in absentia (or should that be in dementia?) Otherwise, a nice bunch.

[Maureen Souza]

I'll volunteer to spy on you for a while, Dave. As much as you are are annoying, you are also amusing. WINK WINK

[tommykjensen]

:lol:

Welcome to the new blood in the team.


Dave btw in 2 months we are in AFRICA.

[Maureen Souza]

Yes...I was distracted there for a condyk moment. WELCOME EVERYONE!!!

[DDA]

Welcome to all the new mods. I'm sure you'll do a great job. I'll try to stay out of the way as much as possible ;-)

[condyk]

As much as you are are annoying, you are also amusing. WINK WINK

Careful Nurse ... we both know Skippy has a loaded Glock in his Manties :cry:

:lol:

Dave btw in 2 months we are in AFRICA.

Yup ... I realised that today too. At 22:00 on 28th we'll probably be sleepin' after the long flight and all the excitement of the first day ... and in that great lookin' guest house too. Can't wait!

[eddarr]

Good luck to all. Let the beatings begin.

[Maureen Souza]

Careful Nurse ... we both know Skippy has a loaded Glock in his Manties :cry:




You know I luv ya, Dave!

[CyberDyneSystems]

Well, on the one hand we know from experience that the only time the forum can survive being down two whole mods for a month is if you aren't here too,..

And that it takes at least two mods to keep an eye on you, (what with keeping night watch and shifts etc..) so we had to get another one on your Africa trip retroactively,.
Thats how I got on last time too, we bribed Beth!

[Belmondo]

Welcome to the freshman class of '08.

[T.D.]

Thanks everybody!

[cfpackerfan]

Welcome to the new mods!


Chris, you can't have my fish, and your big scary avatar will not make me skeered to use it on you still. Maybe.


I am, however, a little afraid of the smite button being so close to your big hoof. :shock:

[::John::]

I'd like to thank the Academy - and, of course, my parents - and the users... and Dave - cos he just is - and... :lol:


*grinz*

Thanks all

[joayne]

Awwww, baby Mods.. aren't they cute?

Welcome to your own personal, ermmmh Hellishnish (if that is indeed a word). I believe that some good choices have been made :)

Bwahhhhaaaaaaaa.. Let the games begin!!

[Becca]

Congratulations (or should I say condolences? ;) ) to the new mods! A fine bunch of baby mods!

[theflyingkiwi]

ah more scary people :)

[Olli]

Cheers all - let the game begin!

Congratulations (or should I say condolences? ;) ) to the new mods! A fine bunch of baby mods!Let's see, only future will show ... :rolleyes:

ah more scary people :)You bet, Mark! :p

[Moppie]

Who? What? where???

[BottomBracket]

More hands means less work! I see excellent choices there, all of whom I agree would make great additions to the team. Oculi plus vident quam oculus!

[Jamie Holladay]

Thanks for the welcome.

[kevin_c]

Does this mean you're expecting more trouble... :confused:



Q/ How many mods does it take to change a lightbulb?

A/ Just the one, but the others find out who blew the old one and then ban them :lol: :lol:

[Mark_Cohran]

Well, it's been a while since I've been a freshman at anything. My palms are getting sweaty already. Thanks for the encouragement. :)

[eddarr]

I see everybody is taking advantage of the larger avatars. Don't worry...I'm not jealous...I'll be ok.:)

[CyberDyneSystems]

There's always the $50.00 paypal to CDS Avatar solution, it worked for "The Hoff"

[eddarr]

But that appears to be a short term solution. His looks to be back at normal size. Besides it's not the size of the avatar that matters, it's how you use it.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Congrats to the new mods. :D

[Ballen Photo]

A hearty WELCOME to all the new Mods here, and a welcome addition to POTN. :D
Looking at Olli's avatar, I think I now know where Jake's old keyboard went. ;)
-Bruce

[Olli]

Well, it's been a while since I've been a freshman at anything. My palms are getting sweaty already. Thanks for the encouragement. :)And you have very nice palms in your hawaii shirt as well, Mark. :cool:

-BruceIt's called recycling (or is this the real result of hacking ... :rolleyes:)

[Nortelbert]

As my daughter used to say when she was four, "Forgadulations!"

Now... how do we regular folk tell who the new mods are? Is there some flag I'm missing seeing?

[Ballen Photo]

Have a peek at the title right under the user name. ;)

And you can look here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showgroups.php). :D

-Bruce

It doesn't say "New mod" under anyone's name :-)

[Nortelbert]

And you can look here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showgroups.php). :D

This is what I see...


I know, for example, that Mark Cochran is new as a mod, but the list don't show it :-)

[Ballen Photo]

It doesn't say "New mod" under anyone's name :-)
And thankfully it doesn't say old Mod either. ;)
-Bruce

[Belmondo]

And thankfully it doesn't say old Mod either. ;)
-BruceEspecially for me. (the oldest mod)

[Nortelbert]

OK, I just thought there was a way of seeing who had been added recently; I was worried that I wasn't being attentive.

All of you do a tremendous job, that's for sure!

[::John::]

$50 huh?


hmmmm


food or avatar....

[Mgdh]

Woohoo - Great choices on all the new Mods!

Congratulations on your newly exalted status, you wear those larger avatars well ;)

(now back to trying to stay under the radar...)

[SuzyView]

Yes...I was distracted there for a condyk moment. WELCOME EVERYONE!!!

I just found this thread. Where have I been? I'm a MOD? :o;)

I've got a whole new bunch of brothers and a great big sister now! I'm so excited! I'm already feeling the love.

Hey Suzy, glad to see you on the team! I will be in Maryland tomorrow until the end of the week. I'm not sure about my schedule, but I would like to squeeze in a photo walk somewhere, maybe the mall or Old Towne Alexandria.

[photobitz]

So the best part of being a mod is that you can have an avatar 5 times as big as everyone else? :p

Better not. He might reply individually to each and every one, without quoting the message he's responding to. You'd hit your ceiling and still have no clue what he's talking about . . .

tommy I don't worry about you. Nope, not a bit..

BTW will you get to drive this time around?

[tommykjensen]

tommy I don't worry about you. Nope, not a bit..

BTW will you get to drive this time around?

We will see but I doubt it. Unfortunately I have not had any practice at home yet. Work has been so crazy I have not had time to think about renting a car and drive around (to photograph for example).

[condyk]

BTW will you get to drive this time around?

We will see but I doubt it.

It's up to the man, but hard to hit anything in the Richtersveld ... unless it's a mountain or a hole in the ground :lol::lol: so who knows. Could be an opportunity there. We also need his navigational skills of course. We need four people as registered drivers anyway and same approach as last time with switchin' on the long drives.

But this is nowt to do with new Mods ...

[::John::]

:rolleyes:

Is that really Dave? C'mon - fess up - who has nicked his login.... Bringing a conversation back on topic? Are ya well, man?

So, no marker for 'TF'?

[condyk]

Tryin' to give you newbies an easy time - ya ain't got no exclusive, hand drawn Tupperware 'membership avatar' yet then John Boy ;) I hear we needed so many new Mods because most of the old 'uns got lost in there chewin' the fat 24-7 :lol::lol::rolleyes:

Pete is often like that...we never have a clue what he is talking about....but we keep him around anyway.

The Odyssey is great. Been on it and loved it. My neighbor's son had his reception in it and said it was wonderful. Show some off in the Wedding Sharing section for us!

[SuzyView]

I see while I was away, Dave & Sari came to play. :)

5000 pm's, that's nothing. When you are part of the POTN Book, it's crazy. I had to delete a ton and will delete some today.

[rainier_reyes]

Can a moderator please change my username? It is the same as my email address, and I was warned I could receive plenty of spam because of it.

[Skip Souza]

Send a PM to CyberDyneSystems, he is the one with the power.
Your's is not too bad. If you had included the @xxxx.xxx then you would have a security problem.

There's no better way to know what a moderator looks like than to view him the same way he sees himself.
