Welcome new moderator Loach. You only have two days to prove your value by banning the entire board. It’s the only way to know if you are worthy. ---

There are going to be a lot of changes around here. From this day on, the official language of the SDMB will be Swedish. In addition to that, all Dopers will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now… 16 years old. ---
