Who is this Gukumatz? And where did they come from?

I’ve never even noticed the name before and they are already a mod.

Man, I am so out of the loop!

Clearly I should read more board!

Anyway congrats to you Gukumatz! (male, female? no idea!)

He was recently assigned to IMHO, which is probably why you just noticed him. He has been a moderator longer than I have, which is going on two and half years now. TibaDiva or another of the older administrators/moderators can probably tell you how long he’s been here. Or he can tell you himself!

Wow! I really am out of the loop.

I wonder that I never saw his name before this. I can’t remember seeing it in a thread topic, or even moderating.

Oh well, just dumb luck, I suppose.

Hey, at least I learned it’s a ‘he’!

Thanks for fighting my ignorance!

**Gukumatz** has been modding for 2 and a half years, and hasn’t had a “What the hell kind of modding is that” thread about him in ATMB? What the hell kind of modding is that?

We’re a peaceful bunch over in the Game Room. Until someone loses a Mafia game or something like that, anyway…
