Gone Fishin' and Welcome to Baz the Moderator

[Gary]

Our Super Moderator, Kwilford, has decided to step aside from his moderating duties for a bit and focus his time on other projects. We all owe a great deal to Keith as he was the main man in keeping the posts in their proper threads and it was his idea to follow the FSM format for the forums. Without Keiths efforts the forums would be as disorganized as the Photo Gallery is today. Just want to say thank you Keith and your site permissions have not changed so if you get bored some night... BTW, We will have several beers at OMC.

On a lighter note... Please welcome our newest Moderator Baz.
Baz has been very active on the site for close to three years now. With his new powers, he will be able to move, edit, delete posts and approve photos and jokes (now, that could be dangerous) So if you log on some night and find a blank page and all the posts deleted, it's probably just Baz going through the learning curve. Just kidding, moderators do not have that much power.

Welcome - Baz the Moderator!

[baz]

i would like to take this moment to thank otto for popping my cherry and all i can say is it was a nice site while it lasted

ps i suppose i will have to start using the spell check button now bummer

[rangerrick]

All over but the shoutin now!

Congrats! Bazman

[nobody]

Oh Now you get to approve the pics and jokes yourself. Isn't that like turning the asylum over to the inmates? All kidding aside, I'm sure you'll do well. If you get bored I'll put odd posts in odd places just to make it less tedious if that will help.

On the other note I do give thanks to the job Keith did and hope he enjoys working on the cars for a while.

[GTJIM]

Congratulations Baz on becoming a Mighty Moderator!

Now we will all have to start using the Spellchecker and then modifying the atrocious spelling it does - into the QUEEN'S English!

[baronbors]

Not the badger- NOT THE BADGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jlthunder]

Congrats Baz!! This is going to be great

[flipper]

Wow,.......Thanks for all the work Kwilford........I know it takes a lot of dedication to do a project like that with no other satisfaction than to watch it morph along. Thanks for keeping us all in line this whole time and please give Baz some guidance in his moderating. (jokes included) Anyway, thanks for all the fish.......Flipper (shawn)

[greensmurf20]

i am looking forward to all the new jokes, now you can approve them yourself baz!!! congrats baz!!

[Old Hippie]

Well you know, sometimes things are a bit clearer from a distance. That is, depending on how many pints it takes to get to the cliffs to look across the pond.

[namba209]

Everyone has already said it, but I'll echo what they've said with my own sentiments. Keith, you've done an outstanding job as moderator, we all appreciate the work involved in keeping us and the site straight.

Baz, the position couldn't have been offered to a better person at this juncture. I can just see the forthcoming admonitions to putting a post out of the correct venue. Heaven help us all, we may be "badgered" to shame now.

[RallyBob]

Damn, now we all have to spell it aluminium....

Congrats Baz, Gary couldn't have gotten a more dedicated person as a moderator. Jarrell

[odieopel]

Tyres, boots, bonnets and wings, where will it all end? All kidding aside Baz, best of luck in your new position. Have always enjoyed your post, hope this doesn't slow down your humor.

[baz]

[EJprovost]

baz, for gods sake, don't let those misbehaving Colonials get away without using the "U" in the correct place (Humour with colour comes to mind). Although I have never quite got my head around the extra i in Aluminum.
And keep those posts from Sparky out of the GT Forum. He's beginning to get it, but he might need the occasional reminder.
And never, EVER, back down when Dave says he is right just because he thinks he is. Even when he is, don't let him know. It keeps him taking his lithium, and we're all the better for that.
And if you have any questions about my personal theories on where a certain post should be moved to, don't hesitate to drop me a note. PM me and I'll give you my personal e-mail address.
By the way, the spell check button is at the bottom right when you are posting...

Good luck, and keep this place the best Opel site in the world.

[EJprovost]

Can I request a Queens English Dictionary Please

[GTJIM]

Liz, Type "Shorter Oxford Dictionary" into your Web search engine on the World Wide Web ...... it is only two large books. Throw Webster's away now!

Baz, We have them surrounded!

[jeff denton]

Big thanks to Keith for his huge part in keeping the site on track!
Congrats to baz, the job is in excellent hands.

[ging]

Kwilford! You're abandoning us?! Can't we have both you and Baz?
Seriously, you will be sorely missed but I hope only as a moderator - you'll still be here as a civilian won't you?
Baz I'm looking forward to interesting ways of saying 'put this in the (whichever) forum'. Or maybe there will just be a big buzzer that goes off when we post inappropriately.
Congratulations and best of luck!

[BQS4]

JEEZ!!!;
Just when I thought y'all were finally gettin' used to my Southern, now we have use that funny "Queen's English", dang.....seriously though, congratulations Baz!!!!

ALL except the first post in a new thread . . . or is that just me?!

Congrats to you both, Keith for a job well done and a respite well deserved and Baz for taking on a job with little reward other than personal satisfaction.

[baz]
