Gotta say, I am most unsure where this will go, but I am up for the ride!

I dunno why we need 5 mods though when we have ticked along more than fine with one, who is in a different time zone, but hey

ditto      I'm not going anywhere unless Seattle decide otherwise, and they've not  had any cause for that so far.     Bring on BB   (at which point the mods will have my sympathy) 

Could you not wait and see how it goes Growly

 Mine too....

Maybe that one has other work to do though 

Yeah, maybe they do have other work...that doesnt change the fact we have gone from one mod to five! There will be more mods than forum members at this rate !

I really am very, very sorry that you're going Growly. we haven't posted that much together, but I have often rl LOL at some of your posts. I so wish that you would stay and give it a chance 

Growly, I'm really sorry you're going.  I've enjoyed posting with you over the years and I find it sooooo sad that this is happening to our community.

I wish you well hun

I hope folk aren't leaving because they assume i am someone else. I registered to prove to the ex fm that new members could register on here after seeing a post on digital spy. It took a while to be accepted but i am excited to be here so please don't go because of me.If it helps, i will de-reg myself rather than see members leave.

It's not coz of you Ziggy...not sure why you think that?! Growly made it clear why she was leaving

welcome mr ziigy.

 we are very pleased to have you here.

 delighted in fact and im sure everyone willa gree.

 get posting and have fun.

poor growly.

she should awaited  and  did the suck it and see thing.?

yeah JB, but no point posting somewhere you aint happy, and she clearly wasnt happy...each to their own I guess!

maybe mrziggy and get jiggy and entice her back!

Sorry to see Growly go. It's a shame she went before testing things out in here with the new set-up but I respect her decision. Bye Growly

Welcome misterziggy!

I'm disappointed Growly went..  wish she'd chosen to stay and fight if fighting should prove necessary.   Got to admire her principles though - she said she'd go and she did.        She said that long before you regged mr Ziggy - don't take it personally 

So sad to see you go, wished you stayed around to see how things go

Oh, give it up... you made two posts as a new member and you think any of this about you As if a new member would think that they're that significant so as a long term poster would leave because of them But much, much, more sadly, that an old member would think so  Go have your pity party elsewhere.

On second thoughts, even Real wouldn't be this bleeding obvious, so, if you've newly regged to pretendy be him then just sod off, pretty please

Congrats to the new mods I promise not to do anything (too) naughty

Sorry Growly has gone though

say what you see supes!

Because she 'outed' him as a parting shot Zazz.

^^^^ "took a while to be accepted" What, two posts?.....And so the 'fun' begins.

God rest these new mod's and all who sail in her

I'm still thinking about applying to be a mod' LOL

Isn't the idea to try and expand the site? If we expand successfully then it might get a bit tough on Lori.

Not five mods tough though Fluffy, it is just my opinion, but it seems excessive at this point in time, given we were managing ok with one mod who wasnt even on the same time zone as us!

and one or ten what does it matter if you all work well together 

But that's just the number of people who have applied.....remember they might be needed come BB time 

one or ten?

ever heard the expression too many chiefs and not enough indians?

But they're probably not all on at the same time - it's not a proper job with 'working hours' it's probably desirable to have some sort of cover at all times, every day. It would be a bit excessive for one person wouldn't it?

of course, but considering the limited powers they have, I really don't think it matters that much IMO 

Dont get over excited, laydees, I am only voicing my opinion !

I'm thinking that we'll self regulate for the most part, as we pretty much always have on here

We needed to find mod's from within:  was a simple fact, it makes business sense from Seattle. Probably needed a few to 'share it out' Lal and Machel were dark horses, (don't blame them!)

Of course you are, but I think your fears are unfounded   Give it a chance 

Erm , I don't have any fears about any of it, I was ONLY stating that I thought five mods to take over from a job one person was doing is excessive...how is that not giving it a chance?

I do understand those opinions Zazz, we don't have set hours to be about though so i think it's just blanket coverage atm

I'm sad about Growly

But well done to all you new mods ... it's obvious that Seattle wanted to change the model and I think it is great that you volunteered. I hope it all runs smoothly for you, and I am sure that you can count on the support of the forum to rally round you should anything untoward rear its ugly head

And ... you all look dead important with your new badges - I've been curtseying all night as I've been reading

As I said...it's early days yet 

One paid v five unpaid, check out Cameron's big society

This is about as successful as it will ever get Supes

i feel better that there's five of them.   Less chance of anyone being corrupted by the power.
