Update on Site, New Moderators, Thanks to Past Moderators

Dear community members,

As is typical with website forum moderation, people get busy in other areas of their lives, priorities change and people change their commitments. With this in mind, we would like to take this opportunity to thank four of our long-time moderators for their hard work and dedication to the community. Their contributions have been invaluable, and they will be sorely missed (in no specific order): ZombieMombie, Rogueone, Jayster, and Rhubot.

These moderators are mostly retiring and will get their regular status back as community members and we hope they will continue to be positive contributors in our community as long as they are able and willing.

At the same time, we are pleased to welcome back two former moderators: @anon17326926 (who temporarily stepped down) and @Ninjastar who previously served our community well for many years. We are excited to have them back on board and look forward to their continued contributions.

I think people are also familiar with @Voithos who began moderating a couple of weeks back.

We would also like to acknowledge ZombieMombie’s departure from the community and her choosing to anonymize her account for personal reasons. We will not be discussing the details of her departure out of respect for her privacy.

Our current moderating staff is now:

@Moonbeam @Bowens @anon17326926 @Ninjastar @Voithos

@SzAdmin is and always will be the senior forum admin as before. I’m not as involved as I’ve been in the past, but I’m watching over the site and jumping in when needed.

I truly appreciate all the effort all the moderators have made over the years, and I know how hard it can be. We are now up to over 10,000 registered members, who have created over 235,000 discussion topics, and over 3.6 million posts here. I hope we are all able to continue to provide the positive sense of community and discussion going forward.

Thank you all for your understanding and support.

Sincerely,

SzAdmin and the SZ Forum Moderation Team

ps. I’m getting the finances in order so that message at the top will hopefully go away in the next week or so.

This is a lot to take in all at once… zombie is gone?? God I’ll be missing zombie :sob::sob::sob:

Welcome back @Ninjastar I always looked up to you and hated that you stepped down so I’m really glad you’re back

Still struggle with the rest… Might need to reread what @SzAdmin posted after this bit has settled into my brain…
