New Mod Squad Member...
|
|
Just a quick note to let y'all know we have a new moderator on the forum; Andy/daft_biker.
You all know him for his excellent insect images, and his relentless cycling exploits in all weathers and terrains, well now he represents the younger end of the AP/WDC community demographic - as well as those North of the border (in keeping with latest government targets  ).
Anyhoo, he's kindly consented to help maintain harmony on the forum (the fool), and we hope you'll all welcome him in his new role. But, as ever, he remains, first and foremost, a valued member of the forum, as do you all.

Congratulations from me. Good luck Andy.
That does beg the question 'what's happened to Mr. Lizard?' I assume he's OK and has left for his own reasons. I trust he isn't ill or anything of that nature?

Unfortunately, David, your guess is as good as ours... 
However, the process of inviting a new mod began before LL disappeared - but it could mean, if he doesn't surface, we may need to recruit another madman/madwoman for the Mod Squad!

Oh dear. I was hoping that he may have informed you. It only occurred to me recently that he hasn't been around since that brief flurry of posts on his return from Cuba. His sudden disappearance is slightly concerning considering how often he posted on the forum. I do hope he's alright.

Re: New Mod Squad Member...

I don't think there's a cause for concern, per se. We have heard, via third parties, that he is 'OK', it's just he hasn't responded to any direct contact. Whether there's any underlying personal/technical issue, or he's just taking a break, we don't know.

Sorry fellow forumites, I just had a thought - is a forum moderator just the same as a PCSO? Only a virtual and perceived power?
Moderator: No, it isn't. We can do real, important stuff, like this. :-)

Ps...they all had their ###### in a bag round their necks and they were all wearing "I love BigWill" t-shirts......it was an awful experience...

Congratulations, but I am left wondering why APs most prolific member, has not been given the job? After all, he has so many qualities ... He is qualified to apply poultices to the wounded during squabbles, lance the boils and treat the Piles caused by excessive sitting. Last and by no means least, he can provide extensive advice on the qualities of the various alcoholic beverages available, (Maybe including Meths and melted boot-polish) and apparently proffer advice on the selection of an Ovis aries and suitable footwear ...

Yeah right. I just couch test the prospective new female Mods. Which is possibly why we never get any prospective new female Mods, but hey, girls, it could be worse, it could be Little Willy.
I think it's Fen's habit of sniffing all the prospective Mods that causes more trouble, especially when he takes a liking to one of their legs.
