Please welcome three new moderators to the forums

I for one welcome our new overlords.

Man, those puppies don't look too happy, haha.

Welcome and congrats to the newbies! #DatPurp!

grats ya'll!

Easy there Judge Dredd.

Hurrah. FInalDasa is good people, that's a given.

I'm sure everyone else is cool, too.

Welcome!

Oh cool, congratulations duders.

The fact that I wasn't chosen means you'll expect a carefully written letter rorie!!

;)

congrats guys. Your avatars were instantly recognizable to me as great members of this community. More mods will probably help and these are great choices. Have fun deleting threads from stream spambots

Congrats, guys :D

The timezone of the new mods was a big consideration this time, since we're generally pretty short of mods at certain times of the day. And since none of us know what timezone the moon is in, we could never have considered you. Also, you've got to be pretty busy being king and everything, right?

Anyways, welcome new duders!!! I look forward to working with you all.

In my mind I imagine the British mod takeover as something akin to the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

@fattony12000: I am Lu Bu. Never mind that I know nothing about his involvement in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Congratulations! I'm sure you will three will do a great job.

Long story short: my crown makes time meaningless.

@fattony12000: So when did Lu Bu start dressing like he's the offspring of Rey Mysterio and the Undertaker? That armor is ridiculous! I mean, is his stomach exposed but then half covered by a robe? It's like a fractal, I keep seeing new and weird things sticking out of it and happening to it.

Welcome again guys, it's nice to have you as part of the team :)

I thought that was part of the Giant Bomb Moderator Induction Course?

Oh god. I can't look away. I SEE IT EVEN WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES!

Lu Bu is my everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnggg.

FinalDasa is quite possibly the most obvious choice for moderator. What took so long to make him one?

Congrats! Definitely the right choices are being made.

Don't listen to Sweep. Just trust me.

Congratulations, you three! @jadegl and @mooseymcman should be fine on the first year, I guess. On the other hand,@finaldasa isn't new to this at all, though. XD

Woop! Good luck new mods! Keep us citizens in line!

Went ahead and updated your status on the duder maps =]

Congrats to all ye ole limey bastards! :)

Whatevs.... Jk'n -- welcome aboard the mod mobile :P

Every time I see @finaldasa's name I coulda sworn he was already a mod. But lookin through this thread I also coulda sworn @b0nd07 and @recspec were also mods. Maybe some folks just have moddy lookin names, I dunno.

Anyways, congrats duders! You get to enter the mysterious Moderator Hangout.

FinalDasa used to be a mod on Screened. That might be what you're thinking of.

@fobwashed: Haha, now I'm a lonely purple (pink?) dot in the middle of Massachusetts instead of a red one! Thanks.

Do moderators get paid? Sorry if that's an insensitive/dumb question (maybe it's not?) like asking someone you barely know how much they earn or something...

@pinner458: No. This is a purely volunteer gig.

Welcome to the meat grinder! evilgrin

These were the correct picks.

Congratulations! Having new mods around is always a good thing and they look like worthy picks to me.

First Sparkly now Finaldasa all of the nonexistant website Screened has been assimilated back to where it once belonged.

Congratulations on becoming Moderators, I'll try and stay out of your way

Maybe doesn't mean much coming from me but Moosey always seemed like an awesome guy, will make a fair moderator.

@geraltitude: Thanks!

Hey, I recognize those names!
Congrats on the big news you three!

I don't wanna welcome nobody, @rorie! ONLY GOD TELLS ME WHAT TO DO...AND THE GOVERNMENT! /tinfoilhat

Congratulations, everyone!

Congrats! (Kong... Rats?)

Nope; I'm just a guy that used to make TNT promos and a few other things here and there. I'd be honored if they did pick me, but they tend to pick people that do a ton of work in the wiki or post a lot of great blogs/forum posts, neither of which I do.

New brains....

Oh hey, I know these people. Congrats!

He's not wrong.

@mooseymcman: Really late reply, but congrats on becoming apart of the law here.

@gtcknight: Thanks!

I'd say something along the lines of: "why would you want to be a moderator" but we all know that it's the kind of responsibility that is chosen for you. Do not let the prophecy down, guys.

(Also, belated congratulations: it’s nice to come back from a holiday break and see a new staff/mod sticky that is a positive for the community!)
