first of all, thank you all very much for helping us out with the load!
sometimes, i think that being a mod is the most thankless, crappy job on the earth...and then i reflect back on all the help and advice i was given by other mods, staff and posters.
reflecting on that, i can't even begin to name the hundreds of good folks that took time out of their day to teach me something, encourage me or to just shoot the breeze with me.
i couldn't begin to thank these people enough for the fun, knowledge and friendship they added to my life!
so...maybe the job of a mod isn't so bad, afterall!!
the staff (mickeymouse, madmankirk, rotdorn, myself and all those on the ar/handgun/general/yada yada boards are here for you to call on if you need us, need advice, a cold beer...whatever.
rely on us, each other and trust in your fellow man to be a good person. 99% of the time...he or she will be just that.
my best advice to you is to just be yourself and enjoy your time on the boards.
most of the staff, i personally know to be fine people. we'll try our best to help you out with anything that comes down the pike.
rather than reply to everyone on an individual basis (hell, it took me 3 hours just to add your names to the list of those with magical powers! lol!), i thought i would welcome you all in this post.
i tried to assign you to the forum you requested...i hope i didn't forget anyone or screw things up too badly! if i did, please im or email me.
again, my thanks to all of you that volunteered.
there will be another "mod recruiting program" sometime in the near future...but for the time being, i'm just going to let folks settle in and get used to the new faces/names.
