I am happy to announce that \*\*Marley23 \*\* is now an administrator. Please congratulate him … if congratulations for an increased workload and more agita are the things to do. 🙂 (He gets a bigger hat too. Maybe with a plume on it.) ---

Congratulations! I look forward to reading many complaints about you brought up over the smallest points on this forum. Seriously though I haven’t been here long but I’ve read a lot of the old stuff and you seem like a very reasonable, calm person. I’m sure you’ll be great. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > [Insane Volunteer] > So…who is taking his place as moderator? > [/Insane Volunteer] I’ll still be moderating GD, Cafe, and the Elections forum. This just gives me some other behind-the-scenes abilities/responsibilities. For example when I look at your user profile I can see you naked. ---
