Title: We have a new moderator!
Post by: Tank on December 05, 2011, 07:58:52 PM
Recusant said yes!

Now he can clean up spammers too!

Woo! More people to send letters of complaint to when The Asmo finds a spammer  ;D

Hooray, hurrah, congrats to Recusant!  Do we post more fake spam for him to practise on, as we did for Tank?

Congrats to Recusant! May he be less quick on the ban trigger than Tank!

(I'm just joking, Tank's a good moderator/admin ;) )

The best I've seen since Tigger on another forum I used to visit oh...  Close to ten years ago now. And Tigger was, I think, equal rather than better.

Tigger? :P With a name like that, he would have to be a person who sort of commands respect without actually commanding it...

;)

She. She was British, an author and a kickass mod, later admin. Had Jango Fett (Or was it the kid...) as her avatar... Weird, how this old lump of clay remembers such things...

If that's Tigger The Wing, she lives in Australia now; she's still active on the FSM forum but isn't a mod or admin.  She's lovely.

Congrats to Recusant. As was the case with Tank, I am surprised by this announcement, only because I already thought he was a mod.

Don't know about FSM, or if it is the same person - or even where she currently resides. We lost touch about nine years ago, give or take...

Thank you all for your kind words. (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historum.com%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Ficon11.gif&hash=77167c1b50b7caa1429a7320fa2663b50bcd3125) I'm happy to have an opportunity to give something back to this fine corner of the internet! As Tank said, I expect that I'll mostly be helping with keeping the spammers under control; the senior moderators here already do an excellent job covering the more crucial sorts of decisions.

Thanks for the offer, OldGit. I think I'll just wait till I come across the real varmints to try out the shiny new scalpel on.

No. The forum is no longer there, really. It was a government conspiray sort of place, though I mostly went there for my fix of science, politics and good community.

Heh, is that a shot of Bundaberg I'm cuddling there in the corner? If so, it's no wonder I'm flat on my back.  ;) Thank you Magic Pudding, I consider the slaughtered rainbow dancing bananas a high honor indeed.

Cool.  I just thought I'd mention that atheists are burgers for Beelzebub and I can't wait to roast marshmallows at the bonfire.  Or something.  Oh, and Jesus loves you.

Could be.

QuoteGod made the sugarcane grow where it's hot,
And teetotal abstainers to grow where it is not,
Let the Sin Bosun warn of perdition to come,
We'll drink it, and chance it, so bring on the rum.

Bundaberg Rum, Overproof Rum,
Will tan your insides and grow hair on your bum,
Let the Blue Ribbon beat on his old empty drum,
Or his waterlogged belly, we'll stick to our rum.

These are men who drink it, men indeed,
Men of the Bushranging oldtime hairy-necked breed,
They shave with their axes, they dress in old rags,
They feed on old boots, they sleep on old bags.
Dull care flies away when their voices resound,
And the grass shrivels up when they spit on the ground.

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so.
If He hollers let him go
And Bingo was his name-o. ;)
