Welcome the new mods! (was titled "New Mods and...")

[Army]

Hey AO'ers. We have become one of the largest owners groups on the net, and most certainly the largest paintball marker owners group.

Well, we saw the need to have more eyes on the site, especially with many of the Mods and Techs being away during the tourney year. We are also planning on a couple more forums, they will be up soon, and I think you will be surprised:)

So, welcome Tunaman, and LoadSM5 as your new Mods.

Many of you know Tuna from dealing with him, and his high class business accumen. He knows his 'Mags, and has always been willing to help out whenever he can. Tuna is a dealer and has nothing but good trader ratings on the 'net.

LoadSM5 has been on AO since God was shooting a 007, and is one of AO's most respected members. He is ready and willing to attend all the AO gatherings that he can, as long as he gets his own seat in the car:) He will be a huge asset to AO as a Mod, and a friend.

HOOAH guys, and welcome to the fray:D

[minimag187]

[shartley]

Congratulating someone for getting a Temp Mod position is like congratulating someone for getting herpes. ;)

:D

So, I will say good luck, have fun, and thanks for helping out. :)

[jah871]

[manike]

[yeahthatsme]

YAY LOAD AND TUNA!!!

[luke]

So, welcome Tunaman, and LoadSM5 as your new Mods.
Awesome choices!

Loads got a great attitude, and he's logged on more than anyone I've ever seen, so it's fitting. ;)

I don't really know Tuna but he's got a great reputation that doesn't go unnoticed. :cool:

[The Frymarker]

Hey Congratulations to you both!:D

[ß.C.]

I think they'll make great mods but I also think shartley should be a be a mod :). Seeing his attitude with enforcing the rules but respectful makes me feel he will make a great mod.

[cphilip]

My Condolences to both of you... :D

Load doesn't even know yet as I suspect he is at Mardi Gras and will be surprised when he gets back home.


Moderate with Moderation my friends and remember ALL of you are Moderators here and we apreciate everything that ALL of you do to help us out. We official moderators are just the ones that push the buttons for you. Lets be easy on these new guys as they feel thier way into the role. Cut em some slack. It takes a while to get used to the mind set of it all. And its not fun work a lot of times. So support them in the efforts to keep AO the best Paintball site on the Net!

Tom has some big plans for forum changes that are coming soon. Webby is working on them and they are cool. I will wait and let them show you when it happens. But your are going to love it.

[Webmaster]

AO has been getting over 1000 posts a DAY! Good job you guys! I know that I, Tom, and the whole mod crew appreciate your patronage.

In light of our growth, we opted to add a couple new mods to our fourm. They are both familiar faces, Load SM5 and Tunaman! Both are long standing members and get along with most everyone. They will be helping us keep tabs on the problem makers, but give them some slack as we break them in.

So lets all welcome Load SM5 and Tunaman as official mods!

[BTAutoMag]

well congrats to the great load of tuna. he he he. protecting the forums from the wrath of n00bs

[Kevmaster]

congrats guys!

Have fun modding the forums...

[spazzed]

Anyone care to place a bet on who gets banned first? :D

[darklord]

I can't think of two people on AO who would be more fitting. Thanks for keeping the boards nice and tidy!

[buck 50]

Thanks for stepping up to the added responsibility.

[Riotz]

Ah crap, there goes the neighborhood! :D :p

[cphilip]

Some aspire to greatness.
Some have greatness thrust upon them.
Some rise to the level of their incompetence.

I am living proof of one of the above. But which one is it? :D

My condolences to you both... :( :D

[EsPo]

congrats guys!!!

[Webmaster]

Lets keep the spirit of this thread to welcoming the new mods and not get off topic.

[SlipknotX556]

[AutomagBoy]

oh man, i seriously thought i would become a mod;)

lol, theangelguy.com is still alone in the corner with his forum.

[FESTUS33]

Load I've never met, But I respect because of
his responses.
[educated an sensible!}
Tuna I've also never met, But I respect because
he's proved to me he is a machinist who understand's
the technical side of paintball marker's,And the game!
And both have proved to me that they can Defend a person's
point of view, whether they believe in it or not!
Sound's to Me like these are the Perfect Qualities
for a Moderator.
Congratulation's
Tunaman and Load SM5
Rick :eek:

[hitmanng]

Thanks for stepping up guys. I remember a thread about having a party for breaking 2000 members.
http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4943&highlight=2000+members
Now there are over 10,000 registered users.
I appreaciate what Tom and Webbie do and what all the moderators do to keep us safe.
Thanks
