[Tonga Bob]

Hi all, bit of an announcement to make.

Our friend Van_Dyke is walking off into the admin sunset after a good shift behind the wheel, and ubiquitous226 had taken his place in the Freo Mod Squad.

A most sincere thank you on behalf of the mods Dutchy, I've loved working alongside you the past few years and I will eye your new-found freedom with jealousy.

Congrats on your ascension ubi, you join a long line of people on this board who have volunteered to give up your time to help make the place run smoothly and I know you'll do a cracking job.

ubiquitous226 will now spend the next few months as a spec mod as he learns his craft, so please show him the same grace and respect and you have for any new mod.

Thanks all!

Thanks Tonga Bob, after that St Kilda game I'm assuming we'll be the only supporters left

Surely as first gig, we bring back the politics thread Tonga Bob and ubiquitous226 can be in charge of its moderation?

Althought what happened to sabre_ac? Thought he was a mod...I might not post here enough

 

[Outshined]

(Congrats ubiquitous226)

 

[ubiquitous226]

Thanks for the welcomes & commiserations.

Big thanks to Van_Dyke for everything he's done, the generally reasonable debate and conversation across this board and the approach the existing and recent mods take was a big part of why I was willing to give it a go (don't let them know that though ok).

A bit miffed I’ve never been asked.

I was thinking with the advent of AI we could train up a couple of bots, one with the personality of Bushy & another as SA and turn them loose.

I'm putting you aside for when I decide to hang up the boots.

Pfft

That’s like Tiny Tim following Metallica

I assume the selection criteria was who would make Tonga Bob and DragoDelph look better and more attractive to the masses - at least we're not thaaaaaat bad.

I don't have any bins but I have a ban if you want one.
