Good for you all! Congrats

Second line................

Hail The New World Moderators

Glad to have you guys. Welcome, and I'd just like say that while I've been
body checked and body slammed quite a few times on these boards .
I in no way do I take it personal and believe the causes to rest somewhere
in between vagness and variations in the guidlines.

I also believe these to be unavoidable fraelties of the guidlines. For the record, I value my time on ATS.
Respect to all

cheers

...we are Mods...
...resistance is futile...
...you will be assimilated...
...you will adapt to service... us...



Seriously, thank you all! This was quite a shock to me. Literally. They've got some sort of torture chamber back there... ouch...

I know I've made some good friends on here throughout the years. I just want to say that that will not change over this 'promotion'. I'm the same dumb ol' redneck I have always been (just now with POWER! Mwa-ha-ha!).

All I ask is that should there come a time when I have to send an official message, you respect it as what it is: official, apart from any friendship we may have. I consider this a great responsibility as well as a tremendous honor, and I fully plan on doing my utmost to perform my duties to the high standards ATS has set.

Now, if I can just figure all these new toys out... ooooh! SO has a bar! No, wait, that was 'ban', not 'bar'... oops... er... guys?... help?...

TheRedneck

We will rule you all with an Iron fist!

YOU! .... Obey the fist!


Ahem ....


I mean, it is with great humility that I accept the honorable task of KEEPING YOU ALL IN LINE.....

sorry.... ahem ....

Seriously, thanks for the votes of confidence.

Thanks, everybody.

Sorry for being late, but I had a lot to read and I had to eat my diner (yes, I do have to eat sometimes), I hope that those that have been enjoying my presence in ATS keep on enjoying it and that those that have been expecting my disappearance keep on expecting that also, it would show that I haven't disappointed anyone.

Obrigado, InTrueFiction!

Just what we need...MORE MODS!!

Welcome guys and girls?? and good luck (errrr, you'll need it...not for me of course, hee hee)

Oh, and congratulations!

MANBEWBS!!! EWWWWWWWW!!!!!!



Congratulations to all there - thought I only know two names in the list TheRedneck and ArMap.

But nonetheless, Cheers to you all !!

The Major would like to congratulate the new additions to the ATS staff. The Major is particularly pleased to see the inclusion of a member with flag rank; GENERAL EYES. The Major has no doubt the good GENERAL will acquit herself in a fine an upstanding manner.

Kudos to all.

Dismissed.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words....I'm as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs!

I promise to uphold the values of ATS and respect the membership to the best of my ability, and promise not to institute four am wake up drills at any point in the near future.

Congrats to the new mods. I have yet to be picked on...I mean...uhh nevermind on that comment.

Anyways, congratulations lol. Please don't kill me with your almighty mod powers....please....

Hey congrats guys.
May the force be with you.

Uh - oh ... xmotex eh?
Hey ya xmotex .. you've got me listed as a 'respected foe'.
Just keep in mind the ' respected' part ... okay?
(just teasing with ya)

Seriously .. congratulations and good luck to all of you.
I look forward to watching as you help keep the boards in check.
Helpful hint - keep plenty of asprin stocked in the medicine cabinet.

Congratulations!!!

ATS just keeps getting stronger

Keep the fridge and bar stocked...

Don't forget my choice of beverage...




served straight up in a chilled martini glass with 8 olives..

There will be a quiz

Wow, congratulations everyone!

Great picks, ATS....

Congrats to all concerned, excellent choices.

My only reservation:
As ATS continues to elevate quality members to Modship, they subsequently have less time to contribute anywhere near as frequently as they used to due to their new duties thus aiding the gradual loss of quality that I have seen over the 2 years I have been a member.
