Our new moderator

Post by Bob Jefferson » 06 Aug 2005, 09:42

As some of you have already spotted, we have recently appointed Dadaist as a fourth moderator. This was a unaminous decision and we are pleased that he has accepted our offer to join the team.

A bug is currently preventing us from altering Dada's permissions but I'm sure wangi will be able to sort this out on his return.

We must have missed the puff of white smoke from the chimney above Moderator Mansion yesterday. :D

It's all very well appointing Dada as a moderator but who's going to stir the proverbial around here now. :cry: :wink:

I have made a video in lieu of an acceptance speech. It is "work safe", turn your speakers on.

Here it is :

I have no idea how you made this, but it's a work of art. My congratulations!

You might also consider it prudent to prepare your resignation speech as this will save time later.

PS Congratulations Dada!

Your video is superb but I fear it could induce an epileptic fit or some kind of seizure if viewed too close to the screen.

Perhaps a health warning should be added? :wink: :lol:

PS I agree about the video inducing brain damage! I am a bit under the influence just now - and viewing it was - an experience
- good though!

Congratulations to Dada. I can't say that I'm not surprised by his sudden elevation but i do think it is a wise choice. Well done to all concerned. :D :D

Thank you. As I cock my leg to the tree of the forum, I hope that I help it's roots at the same time as causing passers by to tut.
