A number of changes, including a couple of new Moderators! (and myself)
Hello all!
I guess let me start this off by introducing myself. I'll make this short, and perhaps follow up a little later with more. I'm Phases - one of your friendly general administrators. I do run another site but I'll be helping out here and there as needed - however involved that may or may not turn out to be. ;) Happily married man, and happy to be here!
Secondly, allow me to publicly welcome the first member-appointed staff to the team - techblitz and slack! The rest of us were already a team (or coming on board) when we formed this place.
Needing to appoint new mods is always a good thing. Anytime you are short on staff - well that's a great problem to have. :)
So anyway - congrats again guys, glad to have ya on board!
I've made a number of initial changes to just help out and depending on how my involvement here evolves, there are other things I may do.
