New Forum Team Members

[PeterT]

The UKDivers forums have been running now since 2002 a couple of software and database changes later I still think we have one of the most member friendly forums around.

This has been assisted in no small part by our small team of forum admins/moderators.

In the early days (yawn) it was just me good old doctor Stevil and Davey Willo, alas things move on and with Davey moving to the land down under and the time it will take to get him and his family settled, I felt it was a good time to bring on some new team members.

The choice was not easy I and many of you know of forums that have almost fallen apart and at the very least chased away good members because of in my opinion bad moderation.

On the UKDivers Forums you will not see the all too familiar unfriendly answers to simple questions such as "use the search button" "RTFM"

The choice of who to ask was a difficult one, moderating without becoming a bore or a killjoy whilst respecting the diverse range of people who frequent our forums is not easy, so I invited few of the many many members who come across to me as having good judgement and a solid attitude.

So without further ado please welcome our new Moderators sstickley, Jenkins and last but not least Phil O.

[Bobco]

Congratulations Phil O

[Sakara Drinker]

Why not Bobco? He has been the voice of reason on these boards for years.

Welcome to the others, even those from the DARK SIDE.

[Badknees]

Got to agree with Phil on that one, what about Bobco long term and probably oldest member, voice of reason (in most cases) Has been diving since noah.
He's a sound choice.

or then there's AG now that would be intresting...........

[Bobco]

No, I am the no publicity member, I do my bit around here the way I like to, the above are all sound choices, with good sound diving backgrounds, no grumbles here, but thanks for the vote lads

Which is precisely why you would be good at it. Shame as you would be a good mod IMO.

Could he be in charge of spell checking?

[Badknees]

Does this mean if I wait till the end of a thread then post what everyone else has writen I to can be a mod?
