Mod comings and goings - welcome and farewell

Gee, Asimovian. I couldn’t help but note your original Moderator catch phrase. It’s very original. I can’t think of anything you could have used that could possibly be better.

Is that an Archer reference? Something tells me that’s an Archer reference.

This… big time.

Thanks TubaDiva for all your assistance, and for supporting my efforts last year in my search for employees. You’re amazing!

Thanks Twicksie for everything, even your many admonitions that this is an English-speaking board. Whenever I consider responding to a poster in another language I will always think of you. :slight_smile:

Dex, I don’t know if I have ever interacted with you; I tend to fly under the radar much of the time here, but you were probably a cool moderator so I will say thank you to you too.

Yes, you’re just a normal every day weasel, not an octopus at all.

Welcome new folks.

I am sad to see TubaDiva, Twickster and Gukamatz go. I thought Dex went some time back- nevertheless I thank them all- they all did a great job.

PS: Don’t believe those horrible notes they left behind me.

Notes? You think we were able to compress your file into notes?

Your past’s been made into a three day course! There’s a quiz at the end.
Thanks for the thought, everyone. I’m still lurking around here; it was fun, but at the end I never had the time to do the job the board deserved. I wish the newcomers all the luck and hope they remember that the batons and pepper spray should be reserved for the Game of Thrones season.

I TubaDiva will remain active enough to chip in on all my tuba and tuba-related threads. Also, I’ve been considering a series on divas, but reality TV seems to have a lock on those.

I just received my first mod help from Ivory!

Rookie’s got talent.

FWIW (TMI?) it was friendly, which is lucky because she has been the only SD “friend” on my profile for years now, and for the life of me I can’t remember how that honor or shame was bestowed, and I thought it would be churlish to ask.

Plus I didn’t know he was a she until OP.

Happy to help, Leo Bloom and thanks for the kind words.

And everyone here thinks I’m a guy… not sure why! :slight_smile:

Obviously you and Ellen are the equal opportunity mods depriving decent males the chance to moderate (that is a joke btw).

Seriously, are there any other female mods / administrators now that Twicks and Tuba have gone? I don’t think Gaudiere has been active (not in the Biblical sense) for a long time.

Yes that’s my 10-gallon hat, and yes I’m happy to see you too.

So, who’s the head honcho or honchette (honcha?) now that TubaDiva has hung up her shackles?

You misspelled Gaudeer! :wink:

I had been under the impression that Gaudere was a long-retired or otherwise inactive mod – yet I’ve lately seen some moderating by this moderator just recently. Has Gaudere been on the job all along and I’ve never noticed? Or coming out of retirement?

Gaudere recently returned to active service, Ellen Cherry has been moderating quite a while now, and new mod IvoryTowerDenizen is of the female persuasion. That said, the staff is light on women, something we’ll keep in mind during our next search for masochi–um, people who seem like mod material.

Ooooh! Seven Shades of Mod!

Of course. Who ever heard of a girl who lives in a tower?

Rapunzel?

Do I finally get to say it? I shall: Whooosh!

I was being sarcastic.

And he was making a joke. His was better.

Just saw this thread. Out with the old, in with the n… Wait, not old. Experienced.
