Changing of the Guard! (Changes in Moderators)

Thank you Bruce and Frank!

It is with great regret and pride that I write to inform you that BallenPhoto (Bruce) and PhotosGuy (Frank) are stepping down as POTN Moderators.

Both have been long time active contributing members, Moderators and general "photo gurus" from the earliest days of the forum.
They have guided many members through the workings of photography and all things POTN for over a decade, whether it be specific to forum usage, or how to best light a muscle car.

We hope that they will continue to be active members, guiding "newbs" as they have always done.

Please join me in expressing our gratitude for their years of service!

Thanks you Bruce & Frank. I hope they continue to be active, as well.

Thanks Guys !

Mike

Thanks Bruce and Frank for your years of service. POTN is the best -moderated forum on the internet and you guys have been a major part of that. Thank You!

Thank you guys. I too, hope to see you posting and contributing into the future here.
Don’t disappear!!!

Thanks Bruce and Frank. Stay active on the forum please, and enjoy your "new free time".

These are nice words, Jake, but Rafa and Maureen seem to have left quietly and very sudden as well. They've been mods for a long time, yet they didn't get the nice send off. Rafa had stopped being very active for about a year, but Maureen was very much present, posting her Africa pics. And then poof... without a word.

What's going on?

Maureen is still around. Her title still says Ms. Moderator. I was looking at her safari thread just earlier today.

She's gone from the list of mods in the Member list and her last post in the safari thread was 22 days ago. She also hasn't participated in the Fixed-lens competition for quite a while now.

Hmm..I guess I didn't look there. Wasn't aware of the mod list, tbh.

That is lovely but now I am impatient to get on the road & head to Jackson Hole. Only 7 more weeks!

I know that Maureen has another trip planned, but it hasn't been seven weeks yet since May 29.
