New Head Moderator
[runs into phone booth and comes out dressed as Superman]
Okay, everyone. David has decided to step down as the chief moderator for this forum in order to assume some other duties, and I have been asked to assume the role as the head supermoderator. I have decided to accept the role for now, to see what it's like, but I don't think I'll be implementing any substantial policy changes for the time being. Looks to me like David and the other supermoderators have been doing a pretty good job, so I'm going to try to keep things running like they are now.

How can you replace David? I haven't seen you change your avatar, not once! You'll never do until you change your avatar. David did it, Dalton did it, Vympel did it, and pretty much the rest of the Mods have at one time or another. You never-changing-avatar guy.
Just kidding. I'm sure you won't abuse your power besides now locking and/or deleteing every post I make from this point on.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Hey, you're an officer. So does that sound like what a new incoming CO might say in those canned speeches? "I won't be changing much because my predecessor (sp) seemed to run things pretty well, and all my NCOs and JOs seem to be doing a good job, so I'll try to be as hands off as possible." or words to that effect?jegs2 wrote:Okay then...Master of Ossus wrote:[runs into phone booth and comes out dressed as Superman]

Well, I had a good run... But now I'm banned from SD.Net. My life is now over.

Ossus, don't you dare change your avatar. Its the second best on this forum (after my own of course).
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.

He can add SuperMods now?David wrote:Actually he's been a SM for awhile now, but now he can add or remove other SMs and he has access to a few more forums.
*gleam in eye*
I hereby retract everything I had previously said.
Master of Ossus is the best possible choice for this position and he has my full and unconditional support and confidence.
And might I add that's a real snappy avatar you have there, sir!

A Senior Master Sargent once told me that as an Lt I could do one of two things:RogueIce wrote:And with that your men will instantly respect you and do whatever you say.
1. Realize I probably don't know what I'm talking about, and keep my mouth shut, or
2. Open my mouth and confirm the fact.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.
