We hope that you treat him kindly and make him welcome.
On a similar note, Coldfire is retiring. He served this community well and worked very hard for a very long time on our behalf and we thank him for his service.
your humble TubaDiva

If the felching is for initiation, then what do we do for retirement? Double felch?

As one respected veteran steps into retirement, a suitable replacement is found, and so the Wheel of Dopesara continues…

I’m thinking more, given what we do for a member initiation, how elaborate should we get for a moderator’s initiation? Nothing says “glad to see ya” like frisky cephalapods, yanno?
Welcome, **SkipMagic**! Try to use your powers for good and not for evil, 'kay?

Like you didn’t have enough to do, **Skip**?
Does this mean we get avatars now?
Or aviator goggles, I’ve always wanted aviator goggles.
Congrats **Skip** , I guess.

I’d be curious to see the list of character witnesses involved in this selection…
Um…Hi, **Skip!** 😛
