After having received applications from many worthy users, to become a part of the staff team who help keep this board a civilized, mature and fun place, we have narrowed the choice down to four users that applied.

It was not easy, but we hope the rest of the members here will agree that these are four very sound choices.

We would like you to take a moment to congratulate our four new moderators:

dlish

Baraka_Guru

Tully Mars

genuinegirly


Four valuable members of our community who will now be helping behind the scenes to move the TFP forward.

Congratulations and Welcome!!!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918

congrats y'all!!!

There'll be plenty of time for that later.

Right now, the back room is a mess from our last mod party. The mops and buckets are over in the closet. Get crackin'.
And when you're done with that, the bar needs to be restocked and the condom machine needs to be refilled.

I think the correct term is "newbie." Just remember, if you ever feel uncomfortable at any part of the initiation, you have the right to say "NO."

Baraka_Guru

Hey, thanks, everyone! I'll do my best to serve the community.

And let me tell you, cleaning up after the last mod party is better than any hazing I can imagine these guys could come up with.... (Like something to do with a barrel....)

I was going to use the anonymous feature to say that you all suck.

But since I can't, I'll just say in a patronizing way that I'm sure you'll do fine.

I'm poppinjay and I approved this message.
