The nine members of the forum management have been unchanged (except for Chrissie) for ten years and more.
I am aware that several of the global mods, who have sterling service in those days, have developed other interests and/or drifted away from moderation over the years. This is not meant as a criticism, all have contributed but interests change.
Your joint owners, Barbleman and I, are also going through difficult times health wise and we are not getting any younger.
We have thus decided that we must look to the future and start by narrowing down the forum staff team for now to the most active members. This is a necessary step that I have put off for some time as we are very grateful to the staff who will be retiring and sorry to lose them. PM's have gone to all the staff concerned as to their staff position and the future. All have offered to stand down except one who has not logged on for a few days. Once the dust has settled we will contemplate looking for a couple of new staff members, one at least from 'North of the river'.
A lot goes on behind the scenes to maintain the smooth running of this forum. It is vital that moderation and prevention of spammers etc. is continued. If you are interested then let us know. An ability to stay objective when the occasional problem arises and maintain total confidentiality is essential.
We will especially need someone with familiarity (or being prepared to learn) of the mechanics of the forum to take over from me when the time comes. There is not a lot to do as the forum design is stable and I hope to still be around for the forthcoming conversion to the new version of Proboards.
Thus we must thank Q, Colemanator, IanG, Milko and NigelS for their dedication to the management team and contributions to the running of this wonderful medium over a decade or more. They will be retiring to the ranks, but they will still be valued senior members of the forum and we would always listen to the benefit of their experience.
Thank you guys!
