She has <a href="user.asp?usr=690726" style="font-weight: bold; color: red;">droideka27</a>'s itty bitty shoes to fill.... What? she's short!


    • Due to increased responsibilities as Icon Manager, <a href="user.asp?usr=572785" style="color: Red;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Black;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid Red;border-bottom: 1px solid Red;border-right: 1px solid Red;border-left: 1px solid Red;">DVeditor</a> is stepping down from moderating the Science Fiction & Fantasy: Films and Television forum.

We were all very disappointed and he lost several nerd points.

His connection is having issues but he should be back to full coverage in a few days.


    • Work, the World Cup and other domestic issues are strongly impacting <a href="user.asp?usr=696515" style="color: Blue;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: White;text-decoration: none;border-top: 1px solid Blue;border-bottom: 1px solid Blue;border-right: 1px solid Blue;border-left: 1px solid Blue;">malkieD2</a>'s online time. He will be around but on reduced time for about a week or so when the World Cup group stages are over, and work lets up a bit.


    <FONT COLOR=#03AB38>Referee Calls:</FONT>

    • A second moderator for Amphitheatre was brought up, as a replacement for <a href="user.asp?usr=224608" style="color: DimGray;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;background-color: Black;text-decoration: none;">Raven</a> is needed. Several candidates are being discussed.

    I'm sad to hear that DV is leaving SFFFT. :( He's done a great job there.

    On a lighter note... I'm not into the whole World Cup thing, but that has to be the best-looking MS Update I've seen so far. Good work, Strilo. =D=

    It was decided that Moderators going on leave should not change their colors to the standard VIP red as it causes too much confusion. Discussion of an alternative standard color for Mods on leave is underway.

    black might be a good color for that :).

    The red is fine with me, especially when it's accompanied by an "On Vacation" type in the title. That way I know that a manager is on vacation or is away for a little bit and will be back. It's when the "manager Emeritus" gets added that saddens me. But I think maybe Black with a clear background and a line through their name would be fine as a alternate suggestion to red.

    And it saddens me about DV stepping away from SFF: Film and TV. He will be missed, but it's understandable that something had to give between SF, Fanfilms, Fansite and Icons. At least he'll still be around. Why not have Kate or BoogieMan take over. They seem to pratically live there already. ;) *ducks*

    Oh and I have a message for the FF mods: Hey, it's been a little past three months already, when is Oqidaun gonna be promoted to manager like the rest of ya?:p

    Great Update Tim!

    In "News of Tracy's Life" I watched Green Street Hooligans the other week. You know, because it has Elijah Wood in it. So that is now my official perspective on SOCCER.

    i think this is a good point. if an 'official mod' of a particular forum steps down, yet 'non-official mods' of that same forum are regular participants, then surely there isn't necessarily a need to promote a new 'official' mod, is there? unless those 'non-official' mods don't want to become 'official', for some reason. but i don't see why not. there's no difference really as long as the 'non-official' mod is aware of a particular forums necessary dymanics, which they would if they've been participating in the forum.

    now, did i 'officially' say 'official' and 'non-official' enough in this 'non-official' post?

    Great update Strilo - I'm not a huge soccer fan (loved to play it though) but the theme was quite nice. :D

    To those who mentioned me pulling back from SFF, I told the MS and I want to make sure y'all know I'll still be posting in there but I can't keep up with this many things to manage. It was really causing me to do less than I need to in certain areas so it's not a matter of interest it's a matter of sanity. :p This way I'll be able to devote more time to the remaining forums I have and the icons. :)

    I'd like to make a motion to clone DVeditor. Two of him would be great. We could probably pulled 24 hours of coverage out of him.

    :p

    I thought it was, malkie. I guess we've gotten lazy.:p

    We still discuss other users for the forum to be fair.
