Please welcome Swiss as mod.

We've added another mod here to help the current mods with the work load (particularly since Bonkey wont be around for a few weeks).

Swiss has shown himself to be capable of rational thought and level headedness so he got the call up and I'm sure you wont give him any trouble. *will you*

Well done Swiss

Firstly thanks to DeV and anyone else who put my name forward. It is a responsibility but also an honour to be given this modship. I'd also like to thank my momma and Elvis.

Whoever told you that

? Anyway, I'll try to earn the modship, and not go crazy and delete/edit all of the posts or anything (well, maybe

)

I'm sure we'll all agree that bonkey has done sterling work over the course of his tenure as mod. I'm glad he's staying on - since his original proposition was to resign as mod. I'm sorry he won't be around to post as much as before, but I'm sure he'll be around to comment on some of the more, er, contentious debates.

Obviously politics suffers from "the attack of the trolls" every so often just like other boards, but for the most part most of the opinions here are civilised, rational and most importantly civil. I don't expect I'll be very busy in my capacity as moderator.

[edit] As my first act of overfiend MOD, I've edited this post to change some grammatical errors[/edit]

Good choice Dev (no, really):D

I'm quite surprised someone like swiss hasn't been a mod anywhere else till now.

Three good mods, you are spoiling us, ambassador

(edit) just discovered how to count up to three - oops
