Hello all

I know I am late in posting here, but in my defence, I went to bed at 8pm with a temp of 102, just woke up - and I have to see what is going on on the forum!

I'm just a young whippersnapper on these boards, and don't really think I deserve to be a moderator - but I am, and I am going to do my damndest to do the best job I can.

We are going to feck up from time to time, and I will apologise in advance for that!

But we have the best interests of the place at heart - I promise you that

Heid

All the chosen moderators here are great fellas imho. good luck fellas. And the important thing never, ever to forget in times of stress in your new roles...

...its only a web forum

[Robert HM]

It's THE web forum 

[AlrightJack]

Keep up the good work everyone, but I agree with M Power. The blue stars should go. U can easily still be moderators with yellow stars like the rest of us.

ACE2MOUTH I can tell you I ain't getting a bean, but I'll tap up tikay for a coffee whenever I see him.

How about some action points?

I may just be a selfish person but if somone is making money from something i am spending my time regulating, developing and policing (aswell as adding some funny as posts ) then i would want some sort of renummeration for my efforts.

I've taken a great deal of pleasure from the forum, and the people involved have helped me many times without thought of payment, I don't mind trying to give a little back

It would be a sad world where people only measured the worth of their actions in financial terms

Mr Mouth,

I ain't getting a penny, indeed the thought hadn't even crossed my mind til you mentioned it. Then again, I'm a multi millionaire several times over *, so frankly it would be taking the piss to ask for a stipend

yes of course Blonde has to pay its way, the owners aren't a bottomless pit but I personally don't think the place is overly commercial. Anyway, I'm not privy to the financials

I think tikay is intending to post on the subjects of moderators and Tony G.

I personally don't like the use of the word "puppets" to describe the members as some pawns in a giant money making scheme. Knowing tikay as I do, that really is way off the mark

but of course there are live updates to pay for, server fees, some wages etc.....it could be worse....the decision might have been taken some time ago to charge a subscription (I don't know if it was discussed)...this would have been an alternative business model. You have to chose your poison as an owner I suppose!

* in monopoly money

As far as I am concerned you guys SHOULD have the blue stars and people should be happy about the fantastic choices for the moderator positions.

Not only have these members been here a while but they are flame free, they talk sense and there isn't one of them that hasn't written a thoughtful/insightful/funny as fook post at some point or other.

These people ADD to our forum and if they do stand out a little more with their blue stars then so be it!

Couldn't agree more. 

Itis inevitable that a great little forum with a community feel and a sprinkling of pro's offering free advice will explode in numbers at some point.  When it does it's feel will change and some of it's original members may move away or only visit rarely.  This is the price of evolution and I think the best option is the one taken.  The chosen mod's all have devoted a vast amount of time pre modship (if thats a real word..lol) to make this forum a nice, witty, funny flame free place to visit.  Who better to try to keep it that way?

Their new roles are similar to police.  A lot of people criticise the police but without them we'd probably all have to move away and not come back ever.  We don't want that with blonde now do we?

Best of luck to the mods.
