    Mod Squad Update for the Week Ending May 21, 2003.




    [u]Moderator Comings and Goings[/u]

    [blockquote]
    [b]KnightWriter[/b] took a few days off and then returned. Also, [b]dp4m[/b] is taking a week off, and will be in Las Vegas. Wish him luck ;).

    [b]Bria[/b] returned from her schoolwork exile, and [b]Kit'[/b] has completely returned from a semi-break. Last but definitely not least, [b]Grilled-Sarlacc[/b] has returned to us from Iraq and has resumed his duties in 3SA and with the icons :).[/blockquote]

    [u]Banners[/u]
    [blockquote]
    Banners throughout the JC have been the subject of some discussion, and we're coordinating several current banner contests, as well as planning to replace the general JC banner with something new for the summer. The [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=11549037&page=1]AOTC Forum Banner Contest[/link] is in its last week, so check it out if you haven't already. The Fan Fiction [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=11648410&page=1]banner contest[/link] is also in its last week. [b]Gandolf[/b] is our main banner person, so check with him for more details.[/blockquote]


    [u]Vacant Administrator Position[/u]

    [blockquote]
    Due to [b]Padme Bra's[/b] recent departure from the Security Administrator position, we have an opening for an administrator position. However, due to the apparent lack of general need for a security administrator position, it was decided to leave the position open indefinitely. This is subject to change if necessary, but at this time, we will not be adding another JC administrator. [/blockquote]

    [u]Icons[/u]

    [blockquote]
    [b]Grilled-Sarlacc[/b] has resumed his duties as the JC Icon Manager. [b]Amidala_Skywalker[/b] did an outstanding job for the forums these past few months. Please be sure to thank her for her dedication and efforts to keep the JC full of new and great icons! Thanks, [b]Am[/b] :)!
    [/blockquote]

    [u]Lucasfilm Icons[/u]

    [blockquote]
    Our esteemed Games and Lucasfilm Projects moderator brought forward a request for some Lucasfilm-related icons ([i]Indiana Jones, THX1138, Willow, Labyrinth, American Graffiti, ILM[/i] etc). You can submit your own icon for consideration [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=11723055]here[/link] :).[/blockquote]

    [u]Technical problems[/u]
    [blockquote]
    We have continued to discuss technical problems as some of them have arisen, but as of yet, there doesn't seem to be an available solution. We just want everyone to be aware that we know about the problems, and that they affect everyone.[/blockquote]

    [u]Classic Trilogy Forum Trivia Contest[/u]

    [blockquote]
    Congratulations to [b]Errant_Venture[/b] for emerging victorious in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=11378996&page=1]CT Forum Trivia Contest[/link] :). The contest is being run by host [b]Master Salty[/b] and moderator [b]Dark Lady Mara[/b].[/blockquote]

    [u]The Phantom Menace Forum Trivia Contest[/u]

    [blockquote]
    Congratulations to the [b]Obi-Wannabes[/b] in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10519142&replies=646]TPM Forum Trivia Contest[/link]! The contest was hosted with style and panache by [b]strilo[/b] and his team of gallant researchers. Colors and titles were awarded, so look for folks sporting blue on white...[/blockquote]


    [u]Big Brother News[/u]

    [blockquote]
    The [link=http://boards.theforce.net/board.asp?brd=10484]Big Brother Game[/link] (run by [b]cbjedi[/b]) continues, having completed its second week. Housemate [b]COSLeiaOrganaSolo[/b] joins [b]Ornen[/b] as evicted (but not forgotten ;)) housemates.[/blockquote]

    It's definitely nice and quiet around the JC now.

    I'm glad to see the trivia games are becoming such a hit across the JCC, whether in the TPM forum or with the Who Wants To Be A Million Colors in the YJCC forum. Great job people.

    This will be a week long remembered. It has seen the return of Grilled-Sarlacc, and will soon see the end of the Security Administrator.

    Damn I suck at that.

    Thanks, guys :).

    Good update, Josh! Good luck to G-S in the future with the icons. I?m glad I was able to work with them even if it was only for a limited time. I did announce I might be working with G-S, but I see he?s got the situation completely in hand.

    On another note, fanfic banner contest ends very soon. Please be sure to get your entries in, and not miss out :).

    Am [face_love]

    However, due to the apparent lack of general need for a security administrator position, it was decided to leave the position open indefinitely.

    How so? As of right now, the JC is in a fix of opinions vs. rules and then some, so i'd think we'd need an admin now more than ever.

    That doesn't really have anything to do with the security administrator position.

    Yeah, a 3rd admin wouldn't do much to change your perception of things.

    If I understood what that meant I might disagree with it, but as is I'll just stand by the fact that we're fine with the admins we have. Things are going more smoothly now than just about any other period during my time here. Perhaps that means the dam's about to burst, but we can always add an admin if the need arises.

    Welcome home, Sarlacc. :) And thank you for helping protect what the US stands for.

    So since the two trivia contests are done, are they going to start up again soon? or was it a one time thing?

    EDIT: Speeling...

    Can you tell us what's going on with and in the AC, since apparently now that's your job since their budget can't afford electrons now, being as it is totally speant on their own saleries.

    We've discussed what makes a good forum, welcomed back UKS, discussed the different approaches to moderating, discussed an inflammatory subject that keeps popping up in the Senate and discussed socks starting COMMS threads.

    There's your update. Should I add pretty markup codes as well? :)

    EDIT: Added pretty markup codes for Salty.
