    Staff Changes

    A while ago Hank Lee (leehljp) attempted to resign as a moderator. I refused to accept his resignation as he was chosen by Sam at the very beginning of the creation of this site. He may step back and feel no pressure to perform moderation duties on a day to day basis but he will always be given the ability to moderate as long as I am Admin. His input and wisdom has helped to guide this site for years.

    David (Crokett) has also taken a step back and a much needed break from the day to day tasks. He will also continue to be a moderator although will not do so daily.

    With these two fine folks wishing for less of a daily roll we decided to add two more mods. Loring and DBHost have both agreed to serve as Mods. Most of what they do is behind the scenes. They will continue to be very active members. Thanks guys for saying yes!

    Welcome to our new BT3 overlords.

    Seriously, I've enjoyed both db and Loring's posts over the years. I can't think of two finer (if that's a word) members to be mods.

      I know after doing a job like that for quite some time, a person can use a little more time for other things in life. We appreciate everything you all do.

      Congrats to our newest mods. I think you have made a very wise choice.

        I'm sure Loring and dbHost will be great mods just as David and Hank have been. They have all provided great input on these boards ever since I joined.

                  Thanks Loring and DB for taking on what can be one of the most thankless jobs around.

                  Every site need moderators, no matter how well-behaved the members are.

                    I'm sure you both will do great. I was wondering what had happened with Crockett. I hadn't seen him post in a while.

                        LOL Crockett still posts and never was a mod; Crokett is just taking a much needed break.

                            just think of it as our average geographic location is the same as if one of us lived in California and the other in Florida.
