As we continue to grow, so do the operational needs of the site. CigDaze (Nick) has been our Chief Moderator since day-1. He's now taking on the additional role of Admin, joining OldSchool (Craig) and Heather in that role. Moving up to assist as Supermod is Ted. Ted had previously been moderating the Competition forum and has graciously agreed to take on the extra duties.

I want to take this opportunity to thank these people for their dedication and their efforts. I also want to extend that thanks to all the forum Mods as well. There isn't a big upside to the job- no pay and no glory. But the satisfaction of building something really cool motivates us all.

Our original goal was to have a board that was big on fun and small on B.S. So far I think we've accomplished that. These guys, along with the forum operators have made that happen.

Forum Moderators

Airpacker - Offshore Talk

cosmic12 - Offshore Talk

Edward R. Cozzi - Boat Buying & Surveys

Fund Razor - Offshore Market

Glassdave - Offshore Tech

MOBILEMERCMAN - Competition & Offshore Tech

THEJOKER - On The Water

Wardey - The Marina Bar

Thanks to everyone!

Do moderators have to spend countless hours on the site, or simply check in periodically and read threads in their sections?

Ted

12-23-2008, 04:25 PM

A lot of it has to do with other members reporting threads, that sends us an e-mail and then we act accordingly. We also tend to watch pretty frequently, certainly more than Team India :D

Mods and Admins-

Fair warning- see what happened to Other Site Out there when I got a time out? Never forget. Less than 9 months later this site has all but replaced that one. I am the real power!

Ever notice the President doesn't wear a headset but his underlings do? Look at pics of Inaugural SO Cig on the Key West Run- notice the man without the headset surrounded by his security team and advisers and you will see the man holding the power.

Fine job folks fine job!

Carry on

I want to thank Nick, and Craig too. On October 18 we were a bunch of well meaning guys with zero moderating experience but a huge interest in the well being of this forum. Nick has been very helpful in coaching. Moderating is harder than it looks. And I have the easy forum.
I know that the discussion mods have taken this really seriously and we have all leaned pretty hard on Nick. He has a wealth of experience that we draw on... and great judgement. His influence is clearly felt in the moderation.
Thanks Nick and all the discussion mods.

Well, holy sht...I think I'm blushing. :)
Seriously, thanks for the kind words. They mean a lot and believe me, the pleasure's been all mine. It's nice to be amongst friends and this place has many. Thanks all! Merry christmas and happy new year!
