Mod Appreciation

[troj]

Some of the recent discussion has me thinking about how important it is to periodically take a moment to let the mods know how much their efforts are appreciated.

If you've never been a moderator for a reasonably active forum then trust me, you don't really understand the level of effort it takes, both in terms of time an mental energy.

I'm not sure who the entire list of current mods is at the moment, but to those who are currently mods, as well as those who have been in the past, Thank You. I mean that sincerely. Without you and your dedication, this place would be nowhere near as successful or vibrant as it is.

edit: Boy, sure would be nice if I'd proofread my thread titles a little more closely before clicking the Submit button....

Thank you mods, for the time and effort you expend for our cause.

Is today now deemed TRF Moderator Appreciation Day?

Indeed, many thanks to the mods for keeping this place on an even keel. Having been involved in running other online communities, I know what a PITA it can be. Your work is much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words. There’s 4 of us these days if you include Sparky. I think that’s who Kevin passed the skillet to .

Oh, they had to provide their own skillet - no way I was giving away a perfectly good cast iron skillet!

Good idea. Those things are expensive...and one that's properly seasoned is irreplaceable...

why would you not?

Technically she's an admin and not a mod.

Technically she's an admin and not a mod.

Admin = mod with more power.

She definitely qualifies as a mod, as on a forum, it's very rare for an admin to not also work as a mod.
