For those of you who have not noticed, Maxwell - FBI has been promoted to Moderator with the title "Ultimate Fed" (sorry, billswoman, you'll have to settle for "super agent"). As I have had to cut back on the time I can devote to the board and site (except for this past week), we needed another person to keep an eye on you mouth-breathers :-)
Some of you may also know him as the moderator of Tony B's Yahoo group, so I guess he's got LOTS of time on his hands. Perhaps the addition of this new responsibility will keep him out of trouble. Let's all give him a big cyber-round-of-applause (but save the jealous whispers for offline time, ok?)

Well, I guess I'll be one of the first. Congratulations on the promotion Maxwell - F.B.I. I noticed the change when there were three colors for the mods. Pretty cool.

I PMed you earlier today when it first took effect, but now I will publicly voice approval and then do as MyTatuo suggests in other PMs to other members.

Thanks everyone, and a HUGE thank you specifically to MyTatuo and Greenguy. I really appreciate it. MyTatuo: "mouth breathers..." - LOL

Well, at least he didn't say "knuckle-draggers". Congrats, Maxwell-F.B.I.

That's one of my favorite insults: slack-jawed, mouth-breathing knuckle-dragger! That's right, I'm bad.
And congrats Maxwell-FBI, to my fellow Maxwell Maniac, wh00t!!

I still don't know how mouth-breathing is an insult...it does happen...especially with a stuffy nose.

Well, I'm not too sure about it myself (never heard or used it), but if it has anything to do with being verbose, then I think it refers to the two of us in the GAH interactive game thread. They are among the longest posts on the board.

^I've often wondered the same thing. There's rarely been trouble here. On the old boards there were a few incidents, especially with a couple of posters, and one woman in particular that seemed to have all kinds of pyschological problems, but here on these new boards that started this year....I haven't noticed any situation that called for a moderator. But then again, I'm not around as much as I used to be.

I haven't seen any major problems on the board. Any disagreements I've had (and they were minor) we've aired out in polite conversation, and both sides were heard. I haven't seen anything as vitriolic as I have on other boards or as "interesting" (being polite) as the one that The J-Man posted. I think moderators also have other important tasks such as housekeeping of the board and the sort (I don't know too much about the minutia of boards). Besides, being a moderator is important because it lets those who wish to post get help if they have a question (I've had to ask questions) or complaint about the board. Even as polite as this one is, it's good to have someone there just in case someone posts something that is libelous, etc. This is by far one of the nicest messageboard I've read as far as the people who post on it, and the only one I post on because of it (both because of the politeness and being a fan of GAH ). So I guess what I'm saying is keep up the good work greenguy, MyTatuo and Maxwell - FBI.

I agree with you, MelMac. It is nice to have people we can ask questions of...plus, I noticed some threads...like the caption thread was cut from 35 pages to 28...I presume the moderators helped with managing that.

True, but the captions thread and the great lines thread are by far the longest...we just commandeered the other one and like to write mini novels apparently.

So what you are doing as moderator? Is there a lot to keep track of or something?
