<font size="2">As opening day of Major League Baseball draws near, it's time to discuss our team progress here at the JC:


Up from the minor leagues:

<blockquote><a href="/user.asp?usr=278184" style="color: AliceBlue;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: CornFlowerBlue;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid Black;border-bottom: 1px solid Black;border-right: 1px solid Black;border-left: 1px solid Black;">Night4554</a> has been offered the position of new Games mod and has accepted. We'll give him a shot and send him back down if he does not bat .350.</blockquote>

On the DL:

<blockquote><a href="/user.asp?usr=355035" style="color: Black;font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;background-color: SteelBlue;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid Black;border-bottom: 1px solid Black;border-right: 1px solid Black;border-left: 1px solid Black;">Darth-Stryphe</a> is taking a week or two off to move from the Texas Rangers to the Houston Astros.

<a href="/user.asp?usr=251984" style="color: Pink;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Black;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid Pink;border-bottom: 1px solid Pink;border-right: 1px solid Pink;border-left: 1px solid Pink;">surlygirlie</a> taking time off to work on new uniforms for the Orioles. Orange is SO not the new pink.</blockquote>

Retiring numbers:

<blockquote><a href="/user.asp?usr=228632" style="color: Purple;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Lavender;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid Purple;border-bottom: 1px solid Purple;border-right: 1px solid Purple;border-left: 1px solid Purple;">Bria</a> has decided to follow Roger Clemens' idea and retire at the top of her game. Unlike Clemens however, she will be retiring for real. Surely she will become a candidate for the Hall of Fame as soon as she is eligible.

<a href="/user.asp?usr=432614" style="color: FireBrick;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: PaleVioletRed;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid White;border-bottom: 1px solid White;border-right: 1px solid White;border-left: 1px solid White;">Amidala_Skywalker</a> has decided to retire. The Mod Squad thus decided to retire her jersey, number 432614.</blockquote>

Infield changes:

<blockquote><a href="/user.asp?usr=236201" style="color: DarkBlue;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: LightBlue;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid DarkBlue;border-bottom: 1px solid DarkBlue;border-right: 1px solid DarkBlue;border-left: 1px solid DarkBlue;">Kit'</a> will no longer be Shortstop, covering both WNU and Fan Fiction. Instead she is moving to Third Base where she will cover just Fan Fiction.

New players to cover WNU and Fan Fiction are in contract negotiations.</blockquote>


And now to continue with your regularly scheduled update:

The second half of the Clone Wars season kicked off (in the US) on March 26th. In keeping with the practice last season, official discussion threads have been and will be created in the Small Screen Star Wars forum. Rest assured that these are not clones of the season one threads, but newly recruited drafts with their own personalities... We'v

 

Good update, but you forgot *** 'express written consent of' whoever.

 

I'm really glad *** mods decided not to do anything for April Fool's Day.

 

Congrats to Night, and very sorry to see Amidala_Skywalker go. I also wish Bria well.

A decision was made to have moderators post a confirmation in new Moderator voting threads to ensure that mods are participating in the selection of new leaders.

Glad to hear this.

 

*points* he said it too!

 

Bria, you were a great mod. Sorry to see you stepping down.




and baseball refs? c'mon, we're geeks. Over our collective heads.

 

Glad to heat things are going smooth.

Not glad to see lame pranks.




and just on principal.....

Ah-ha, Raven's "retirement" was not mentioned, proving it false!

 

Or proving it 'after *** cutoff time of this update' which has happened with many issues.

You'll also note there were no problem users discussed. Does this mean they don't exist? Ha-ha!

 

I wish I could throw my panties at someone right now.

 

Out of curiousity, When will Bria's steping down take place? I assume the Administration has plans to name *** replacement at an applicable time?

 

Discussion has gone well and seems to be winding down nicely.


Uhm... *** what?

 

Also, when is my promotion taking place?

 

Discussion of Bria's replacement as well as the other moderating needs of the JCC is underway in the MS. Expect news in the not-so-distant future.

We're working on that right now. While I do have to go, I can stick around long enough for discussion and promotion of a new mod. Usually I am here a good couple of hours a day (sometimes a lot more than that), I am nearing the end of school and must throw myself into the dreaded job hunt. Instead of posting so much and reading/moderating the JCC, I need to devote my energy to finding potential jobs and pursuing them until I get hired full time. That's why I'm heading off into the sunset, at least in terms of moderating. I'll still post to the boards and be around. I look forward to kicking back (when I have time) and visiting more of the forums I haven't visited as much since I was promoted... Lit, the EUC, FanFic, etc.

 

Yes this update was finalized last night before I knew about Raven's stepping down. I asked in the MS if this should be added to the update and no one answered, so I posted this.

 

I hope that with Bria's unfortunate departure, that *** Who Wants To Be A Million Colors? won't end as well.

*** best of luck in your future endeavors

 

We get Kit' back full time, yea.

I loved *** theme...

 

Raven is leaving too? That is really unfortunate.

BTW, KK, you missed 1

 

I was gotten.

 

Discussion has gone well and seems to be winding down nicely.

How is it winding down if JMT (who is apparently *** one who started *** whole discussion) hasn't posted in *** thread yet, and if Bria's stepping down (which, I'm sorry to hear Bria, as you're one of *** best YJCC mods we have at *** moment, and you've been really good at giving us feedback in *** thread) we've gotten no input from *** new mod (unless they've been participating in *** thread on their own, which would actually be ideal).

I mean, I undestand that JMT has been absent because her house is being painted of whatever, but how can we consider it "winding down" if we haven't had any input from or discussion with *** person who initiated it?

 

I was told by Bria that the discussion was winding down, so I put that. She would be best equipped to address the reasoning there.

 

Fair enough

and... I think I overused *** ()s in that post

 

Discussions resulted in a JCC Discussion sticky thread being posted in the YJCC forum. Discussion has gone well and seems to be winding down nicely.

I take it an April Fools joke somehow snuck into this thread.
