Welcome new Moderators!!

[Steve Frazier]

I'd like everyone here to welcome both Countryboy and Squizzy as new Moderators here at the Forums!! They've agreed to help out as our forum grows, digger242j and I have been having a tough time keeping up at times. They'll be in training for a short time and then will be full fledged Moderators.

I'm very grateful for their help!

[Countryboy]

Glad to help Steve. :thumbsup

Congrats Squizzy! :drinkup

[digger242j]

Did Steve tell you that the new guys have to clean the tracks on the older guys' machines? :D

But seriously, I'd like to welcome them to their new positions as well. Their help will be appreciated. :notworthy

[Jeff D.]

Yes, Congratulations to you both Squizzy & Countryboy!:)

I think these two were fine choices, and are an asset to the forum.:thumbsup

(and maybe they can keep Digger in check too!:wink2 )

[Countryboy]

Glad to have your support Mr. Jeff. :drinkup

How's "White Lightning" been treating ya? :D

Oh, we shall be keeping an eye on Mr. Digger......:cool2

[Jeff D.]

How's "White Lightning" been treating ya? :DReal good!! Been working on it quite a bit, & almost got it looking like a bagger again, from it's previously "striped down" state.

I have to agree with that comment!!! He's not my biggest fan!! :lmao :lmao

Seriously though Congratulations to CB & Squizz you couldn't get better people for the job from what I've seen anyway.

I hope this appointment is not going to affect your fantastic sense of humour Squizzy ??? You just crack me up mate!!:lmao

Thats the sad thing that so often happens guys get a little bit of authority and then go all serious on us!!:Banghead

All the best Guys

Nick.

I've been put in charge of lunch for the new moderators' training day. So far, I have pineapple upside-down cake for the dessert, and beer as the beverage, but I'm sort of stuck for a main course. Nick, could you post up a link to someplace that has a nice recipe for Swedish meatballs? :D

[Truckie]

Congratulations to CB & Squizzy.

Digger thats more like it ....a sense of humour!!!:D

Well the only Swedish sites that I know of with meatballs in them are probably not well suited to this kind of forum! ***

Nice to see you are still talking to me anyway!!:lmao

[wrenchbender]

I have the Vermont version recipe of Swedish meatballs, otherwise known as "Mountain Oysters"...would they suffice? :beatsme

As Gomer Pyle used to say,..."congradulations, congradulations, congradulations"!!! :thumbsup :beerchug

Just one request from you guys, now that you've hit the BIG time...Please remain humble, it's awfully lonely at the top.:lmao

I'm not the only one who prowls around here at night, there's all sorts of nasty critters around...and anyways...I'm a day an 12 hours ahead...so I actually moderate the stuff in the future before you even get it....:confused: :confused: :Pointhead

[HeyUvaVT]

With all the increased activity here, we've brought on another Moderator. CM1995 has graciously agreed to assume the Moderators position and will be helping us out. Thanks so much!!

[Ross]

Hey CONgrats. How do you guys decide on a Moderator? Does it go on post count? Does it go on time served?

Ross

[Squizzy246B]

Hey CONgrats. How do you guys decide on a Moderator? Does it go on post count? Does it go on time served?

Ross

Ross, you need to have at least two violations recorded in the mods forum...the usual stuff will do it....excessive sarcasm, bad language, questionable pictures....Oh, and you need to wind up some truck drivers with some good old fashioned pot stirring (just mention grade stakes):rolleyes::D

Post counts and time served are not really key factors. Bribing of Super Mods does it for me....but I'll let Steve answer this one.

Congratulations CM:thumbsup

[digger242j]

It helps to be a "glutton for punishment". :cool2

Welome to the staff, CM. :)

(Squizzy will show you the secret handshake.) ;)

[bear]

Congratulations cm1995! The real question is are you goin to have a pink hardhat or a little scythe and hood? :D ***

[Steve Frazier]

Ross

I put all the member's names on little pieces of paper, then toss them all up in the air. Whichever one lands closest to me is who I ask if they'd be interested in helping out. This time it was CM1995.

I'm glad he agreed, I'd hate to have to pick up all that paper twice!

Congrats on the appointment CM, I dont fancy your chances of keeping an eye on your compatriates and all of us as well, good luck :drinkup
Just guard your avitar :D

Welome to the staff, CM.

Awww man...no handshake for the rest of us? :(

Congratulations cm1995! The real question is are you goin to have a pink hardhat or a little scythe and hood? :D ***

:lmao (Here's a tip, CM: run as fast as you can to Home Depot and buy a can of yellow spraypaint just in case Squizzy stops by with something pink. Get enough for the 953 if you have to.) ;)

Glad to be of help and honored to be chosen. With that said I am not so sure I want to be part of a "club" that would have me as a member.:D

Well Mr. Digger - Momma always said "If your gonna be dumb, ya' gotta be tough".:cool2:D

As far as the secret handshake, I thought learning the difference between backhoe and excavator controls was difficult.:confused:

Well AtlasRob, read response to digger above. As far as the avatar goes, I got a couple of more saved on the ol' computer so I should be safe...... for now.:D

[digger242j]

Just wait til CB gets back from his vacation and finds out he lost his reserved parking space... :eek:

$100 bills, non-consecutive serial numbers, brown paper bag.:D

[CM1995]

I really appreciate all the congratulations, I just hope I can live up to the reputation of our fellow moderators such as CB and Squizzy.:D

I have got a lot to learn:

You must sharpen the scythe from the handle end out:Banghead
Pink hard hats are really in fashion:rolleyes:
Don't borrow/steal any power tools
Don't mess with one's avatar

And last but not least - I don't mind having to wash all the "senior" Mods cars, take their dry cleaning to the laundry, walk their dogs, take their messages and do their grocery shopping - but I am having a real hard time squeezin' all that corn for CB.:D

I can't wait for the initiation to be over.:D

You forgot the most important one of all. Thread Hijackery! - the abilitly to take one persons post and venture so off topic that we have to scroll back to the begining to remember what the topic was really about... Hmm MR. stone wall builder:waving

Well...after Hi-jackery...there is hijacking the hijack...then there is the subtle art of Rejackery. In seriousness, its quite amazing where some threads end up...and generally we are better informed for it.
