Hello everyone.

It is my pleasure to announce that @AdamG247 (Adam) to our moderation team. I hope I can count on all of you to hide what all is involved in this role by being on your best behavior. There is plenty of time to show him later what a tough crew you are to keep in check!!!

Seriously, we have grown so much that we need the additional help to deal with everything from ever present spam and making sure the site stays highly informative yet friendly. I appreciate Adam volunteering for this job and help us live up to this aspiration.

Is that a lifetime appointment or is there a specific term of service?

Think you meant "servitude"?
ser·vi·tude /ˈsərvəˌt(y)o͞od/
noun: the state of being a slave or completely subject to someone more powerful.

Either way, big thanks to @AdamG247 -- this is probably the only thread that will thank you for it! As a friend said when I hired on with a new outfit that was having some shaky times, "Welcome aboard, now help bail!" :)

Happy to spread more of the kickback wealth!!!

Thank you for stepping up, and I look forward to the help in keeping this special place what it is.

I am honored to have the opportunity to be a part of this incredibly giving Community and Team. What Amir has built here has no equal in the Audio Community. We are indeed very fortunate that Amir has selflessly dedicated himself and his resources to shine a light of Science upon this industry. The breath and depth of Expertise of our Members is what makes the magic happen. I plan to stay out of the way of that magic and help the community grow in a healthy and productive manner.

We never actually discussed that! I serve at the pleasure of Amir and BDWoody. Not having Corporate Overlords to answer and appease was the draw.

I hope you got them to strictly define "serve" and "pleasure" or it could be a rough old time for you, sunshine.

All that might wear off after a month or two...

I just choked on my drink! You guys are funny….Jumped on the “Grenade” classic. Wanting to give back and doing so are all too often separated by hesitation and good sense. I failed to hesitate and the good sense part has always been my weakness.

Congratulations! I can see why you did so well in the interview. Though, if it is a well compensated position, you might have mentioned his high moral character, burgeoning YouTube stardom, and acute hearing abilities as well. ;)

Is this being done in anticipation of the potential for a big uproar? Possibly the Sundara review? Maybe an Audioquest sponsorship? Is Alan being unbanned? :eek:
