Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

elven

Calina, your new (almost, any time now) lovely photography mod

*round of applause*

We also have Dragan and Gandalf stepping in for a while to keep an eye on the place while Fajitas takes a wee holiday.

Now, play nice, or they'll beat you up!

Welcome Calina. And don't mind Elven's "almost (any time now), lovely" comment.

We know you're lovely. :D:D

elven

I meant the actual modship will happen any time now...

dazftw

Congrats on becoming a mod!!

Calina

Folks, now that I have the power, I feel utterly justified in thanking you all for your good wishes on this journey.

We will have some fun, I am sure of it.

I have to cry off Scott Kelby tomorrow (great start) but will be flogging my wears at People's Photog next week. God help God if there is rain.

Can i be the cranky anti hero cop? You know, the guy who drinks too much beer and your sure he's on duty drunk but you also heard the rumour that he gives half his pay cheque to orphans.

With diseases.

elven

Oh this sounds entertaining

Oh it was obviously as we'd be saying goodbye to elven as a mod...

And saying hello to her as a poster

And don't forget her selling her piccies at last year Peoples Photography.

Always thought Calina was a bloke and whatever happened to LOLth and Samson? Never seen 'em Mod at all?
And why is Elven leaving? sod niceties... we want the inside stories.
And think this forum could've managed for a few weeks without Fajitas, it's one of the better behaved forums..........

I assume she has had enough and wants to be an ordinary user. No inside stories it happens.

Well even better news now you have a couple of "nice" temporary mods to keep it nice

Depends entirely on what position you are looking at it from tbh.

It really shouldn't worry folk how many Mods there are. If people are behaving then they are behaving and we'll hardly even be noticed.:)

Samson definitely mods in here. LOLth I can't speak for. Why elven is leaving I don't know but unlike you I think that's her business not mine.

As for leaving you lot unattended for a few weeks before Fajitas! comes back, it was never going to happen. The reason it appears to be better behaved is because it is made so by people behind the scenes. I am happy to have both gandalf and Dragan around to give a hand.

Not to mention the unquestionable whiff of Admin around here

Elven leaving??????? I thought Al was off for a wee while...... how'd i miss that elven was off???

Well, good luck to you elven too.

You could give a controversial reason for leaving though - oh go on, make something up........

challengemaster

Make something up..eh?

She's turning pro at macro? :pac:

I'm sure the place wont fall apart anywho. 'grats Calina.

ps. Drunk DeV > Dev DeV.

/edit: damnit I'm not dev.. now im all confused

GristlyEnd

So many changes.

Congratulations Calina, I know this place is in safe hands (as with your predecessors) and congrats too, to the new temporary mods.

Dodgykeeper

Why would you congratulate someone on becoming a mod on a web forum!!!! do they have to pass a test? or prove themselves is some sort of initiation ceremony?

Maybe Easons will start selling "Congrats on Becoming a Mod" cards!

ThOnda

Why not? The offer to become a moderator is mark that people find you and your posts as relevant, mature, responsible, tolerant and with knowledge about the main topic of the forum.
I really do think that becoming a moderator is an honor that stands for appreciation, trust and proved capability.

Buzz Lightyear

Hay well done Calina. Does this now make you an employee of the Boards Group with a brown envelope

We're all in trouble now. Women NEVER forget. So no mistakes everyone, be on your best behaviour

Enjoy the wee break to the powder room Fajitas

Buzz Lightyear

Dodn't realise ther were four pages so far - hot gossip.

Where TF did it say that Elven was leaving. Snuck in. Surely she deserves a decent mention.

Take care ELVEN. T'was nice having you as a mod. You'll be missed, but keep posting as a boardsie

Now thats a decent mention, not snuck !

Go on give's the gos on your real reason for leaving - was the testerone too much to handle :-0

You've never heard of the Amp test? :pac:

elven

Oh hang on i didn't actually mention in the original post that i'm demodded... oops

Hmmm dramatic reason, dramatic reason, hmmm...

Nope, sorry nothing coming to me. You'll have to make up your own, which I'm sure will be far more interesting. In fact I'm sure we could make a competition out of that

Thanks for the mentions to the people above. It's the end of an era!
