Absolutely nothing!

I thought hard about accepting the spot as a moderator on here. I weighed the positives and the negatives.

And for me the most important negative to consider was this. How others will now view me? Some people see any type of authority as the "enemy". That really worried me then I realized I have no more authority over those that matter to this board than what I did before. In all my years, doing all the various jobs and most of them being in a position of authority of some sort I can honestly say this. I don't let authority swell my head as is too often the case. If anything it makes me more humble.

I want members of the board to realize I am here for them, just as I have always been. Without you guys, and girls, the board would not be what it is. I am not here to spank people or treat them any differently than before. This board is for you and by you and it is you that will continue to make it what it is today. We police our own pretty well and the only time I will intervene is when I am asked to or if I see something so egregious that it has to be dealt with immediately.

I am the same person as before except a few letters have changed describing the position I hold here. I will still help out anyone I can just as before. I will still give my number to anyone who wants to talk. I also want people to know that I am still approachable in the same way as before. I enjoy meeting members as often as I can because, believe it or not, we are a family. An extended family but we all know eachother's quirks and mannerisms because of how we post. Also, don't think that because I am a mod on here that you can't speak your mind around here or even argue with me. That is what makes this place great, the flow of ideas back and forth even though they may not be the same as another member. We are growing everyday with great people and if we can keep it the way it is right now it will continue to be a great place for us to gather.

As a mod I hope to make this place better but honestly I can't see my being a mod will make it any better than what is already is, not because of any single person but because of all the members here.

And if anyone has a problem please let me know so I can fix it. I promise you will get a response from me.

And as I said in the begning I am not going to change a thing.

Well, you might find yourself hated (and threatened) by people you've never met. Worked for me!

We'll see how this plays out once the ban-hammer power goes to your head... :)

No one, that's been around long at all, would expect anything about you to change.

And you might the one that bursts my ban hammer cherry with comments like that. :)

Just kidding and I appreciate everyone's support.

Couldn't have said it better myself. When I found out you were a mod the only thing that I figured would change, would be that people might second guess starting drama randomly with you (*cough* agt dealer).

DOLOMITE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

I'd vote for that.

Well, I figure you made your own ban hammer out of some stuff you got at Walmart :pleased: . I ain't worried. Besides, this is a pretty well behaved bunch.

I don't know about that caster guy though. He is a wild one.

I wouldn't prevent anybody from doing anything they don't want to providing it doesn't hurt anyone else. As far as making someone do something, who am I to force my will upon another.
