Moderator Retires

[firefighter]

G,day all

With regret .....I would like to announce the retirement of our long serving moderator jbj .....I don't know how long Dennis has
been doing this job as he was moderator when I joined in 2006

Dennis duties as a moderator included accepting the applications from new members joining and looking after the whatever section and the e bay section and deleting posts from these sections after about 30 days

Also twice a year Dennis would sweep the broom through the membership list ...contacting members and then deleting members that did not want to be involed in the forum any longer

I would like to thank Dennis for his job as moderator and all the time he spent make this forum run smoothly well done MATE

NEW MODERATOR

I take great pleasure in announcing forum member...... Conti
as our new moderator .....just go easy on him for a while till he settles in to his new roll

I know you are saying who the bloody hell is 'Conti'
it is long serving forum member Geoff with the forum name
"Geoff n Jude"

Geoff took the job on as long as he could have a new forum name as moderator.........and keep Geoff n Jude seperate
from his moderating duties
Thanks Conti for accepting this position

Geoff on behalf of the moderating team ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

hi geoff

firstly i'd also like to thank dennis for all his efforts over the last (?) years.

without his help i'm sure the forum would not be as tidy and as well run as it has been.

i only hope that my input can be as worthy as dennis' has been.

good to be aboard.

geoff w (that will seperate me from you).

Agreed - I'm only fairly new around here, but I have always found the forum to be well run, well moderated and everyone respectful. (and self-moderating?! )

Thanks Dennis for your work, and thanks in advance for Conti's work -

I'm sure this doesn't mean you're leaving the forum, JBJ, and we can continue reading future pearls of wisdom from you. Thanks and good luck.

Well, what can I say about conti Based on his former occupation, I reckon he'll "moderate" this forum like stalag 13 ;D ;D ;D Will the power behind the throne be helping you
Good luck Geoff

Thanks for all your time and effort as moderator Dennis.
Now you will have more time to get stuck into that Dodge.
Welcome Conti - I suppose you will be looking for a chaffeur to drive the Lincoln now?

[cruisindoug]

As everyone else has said thanks for all your efforts Dennis; and thanks to Geoff for stepping up to take on the role.

Great forums need a great team behind them - so while on that ....

A BIG THANKS TO ALL THE MODERATING TEAM ;D ;D ;D ;D

G'day JBJ,

Thanks for all the work you have put into what is usually the thankless task of moderating this forum, the tasks you performed were necessary to keep the forum on track, well done.
It's like after you're dead aye? .... that's when you find out what a great bloke you were

Conti ...... Conti .............. just spent the whole weekend giving Conti a heap of lip..... hope you don't hold a grudge mate

Cobber.

[JBJ]

Thanks to all for the comments.

I'm a bit burned out, & a bit disappointed with things.

I guess the decision to pass the torch is not easy, but thats my decision.

Thanks for putting up with me. I will stay on this Forum, & still intend to contribute, even though I'm not as motivated as I was.

We still intend to go to as many functions as we can, & who knows what the future holds.

I won't be putting any cheap shots on anyone, or commenting on the reasons for my decision.

What will be will be.

JBJ

[humpyboy]

It's pretty much all said in the previous posts, thanks for your efforts Dennis, all things must come to an end sooner or later hey, hope to read many more of your posts in the future and Conti, welcome to the team, as was said, usually a thankless task but still one that needs doing, one qustion I do have is, will you be calling on your mate Nental for assistance? ;D ;D

[kazandadam]

Good luck with the future Dennis........put the feet up & enjoy the outings (but not too much though until you finish the Dodge )

Congratulations to you Geoff............I'm sure you will have heaps of great input & ideas for the future ahead

Cheers Adam

Hi all,

As one of other members of the moderating team, I would like to say how much I have appreciated all the work JBJ has done to keep the forum running. There's more work required to operate a forum involving 1000+ members than might appear, and JBJ has done an enormous amount behind the scenes to keep the wheels turning.

I also need to apologise to him - more than once JBJ has copped the flack for a decision that was made by one of the other moderators!

So JBJ, thanks. I hope you and Boots enjoy having a bit more time to yourselves, and the opportunity to participate in the forum as an "ordinary member without responsibilities"!

And Conti - welcome to the team. We're all looking forward to your input and wisdom. I'm sure you will fill the empty shoes left by JBJ very adequately, even though they are large ones. (Hmm, not sure about the thought of putting on someone's used shoes , but you know what I mean.)

who the f$*# said JBJ could retire ;D ;D ;D

JBJ has indeed done alot for this forum, and for that we thank him ........he's a man with a real passion for our hobby, and his great work on our membership base is to be commended
.....in fact, I could do with JBJ managing my client database, ......and in his spare time, could work on the caravans in the Beverley shed
thanks JBJ, ....enjoy being "just a member" for a while ......I certainly do

"Conti" .........thats going to take a bit of getting used to .....congrats for getting a guernsey on the moderating team Geoff
