I am very pleased to announce our new Open Discussion Moderator Team:

suginami
t walgamuth
TylerH860

Paul, Tom and Tyler will provide a great balanced team as we move forward with the OD Forum. All three individuals firmly believe we need an OD forum and want to assist in making it the best it can be.

I'm the Webmaster/Administrator and honestly not a frequent contributor to OD. Usually, when I get involved it's not always a good thing. My vision for OD is that the "community" decides the direction of OD. The members that value it and want it to thrive should be the ones to set the course and direction. I sincerely believe that this team can help to get us there.

At this point, we are not going to create the "Peach Pit"...at least for now. The new OD Mods must first get acclimated into their roles and form a working relationship. We will be reviewing the current Forum TOU and deciding how best to go forward. I want the new Moderators to decide if a "Peach Pit" or something else is needed or not. As changes are made they will be announced.

Please join me in welcoming and supporting our new OD Mod Team!

Being one of the few members I have met in person, I can attest that Paul can be moderate . . . except when it comes to his family and Mercedes . . . then he's extremely passionate and partisan.

Congrats!!

Wow. Three level-leaded and moderate guys. How the hell did you get *any* of them to agree to this?
