With real life commitments it can sometimes be difficult for members of the Mod Team to visit TBL and moderate the site as well as run the competitions. The appointment of Joe and Andy will help provide cover and ensure that TBL continues to run smoothly. I'm sure most regular users will understand the choice of Joe and Andy - they've both been regulars with TBL for a long time (Joe has been here nearly five years now), they are regulars on the site, are well-respected and frequently make significant constructive contributions to the community and EHM.
I would also like to (very belatedly) welcome Lidas to the Moderating Team who joined on 28th July 2009. As with Joe and Andy, Lidas' contribution to the community and EHM (that little thing called the Lidas Rosters
) clearly shows why we appointed him as a Mod. I'm very sorry to Lidas for not announcing this at the time. Our lame excuse is that we wanted to give an earlier news item some exposure on the front page before announcing Lidas' appointment. However, as time passed, we completely forgot to post the announcement. I think everybody knew that Lidas is a Mod by now anyhow!Anyway, welcome to all three of you!
Congratulations to all 3, it's well deserved.... hmmmmm we should have a walk of fame or something..... I can think of a few guys that belong there
