Here, here! Absolutely outstanding idea! The finest and most capable were certainly picked!

I believe a toast is in order, but my toaster is on the fritz, so you'l have to settle for butter and marmalade:

Cheers!

It says a lot for a board when people are genuinely pleased for the mods who get promoted - and the regulars who became mods.

Congratulations to all concerned.

Since the New Moderator thread is closed, I'll post this here, if I may:

I, for one, welcome the new Swift overlord.

I'm partial to the term, Übermensch, as it "transcends the boundaries of classes, creeds, and nationalities, while maintaining a lordly superiority..."

But "overlord" will do.



Seriously, though - here's a novel thought: How about we call them "administerators" and "moderators," or admins and mods, for short?

Yes...but it must now be written/spoken with more reverence. I think hushed tones of awe would be appropriate.

You've got to be kidding. I knew ToSeek when his post count was less than kilopi. I'm going to give him just as much trouble now as I did then. Hushed and awed tones my revered .......

ToSeek & Antoniseb, my condolences to both of you.

I thought you knew ToSeek when his post count was less than zero

But I just realized I can't prove it, so maybe not...

And I'm not one of those. I missed it by 13 months. Looking at the first page of posters(sorted by declining number of posts) it appears that there are only six on that first page.
