Making baseless claims that the mods will choose one of their mates is not coming across as antagonistic? And other than that, its downright rude and unkind. The amount of work they put it, how lenient they are with rule breakers, even asking publically for a new mod. It doesnt benifit them. Without them there wouldnt be a divergent universe. And seen as The Matt didnt put his name down because it eould be too time constraining, i dont think its in his line to be critical of the mods, a job he admitted he couldnt do. They will pick who they think is best and that, should, be that. I didn't say I couldn't do it. I said I didn't want to do it. I don't want to be be Prime Minister either does that mean I should never vote in any elections?

Mild and versatile, Brie is the default choice for holiday cheese platters, but it really shines when paired with something acidic, like zippy fruit preserves, to bring out its creaminess.

Thanks to everyone for your participation and comments in this thread. And thanks to all the nominees for their willingness to step up and help out with forum moderation. It's a good group of candidates. After discussion and consideration of all the applicants, the moderation team has decided to ask @wolfie53, aussiedoctorwhofan, and masterdoctor join us on the moderation team. We'd like to thank our former moderators, acousticwolf, coffeeaddict, and kimalysong, all of whom were here from the start and were instrumental in getting the forum set up and running smoothly.

I think it should be transparent so it's not just existing mods picking their mates". Not an accusation, a statement of what will happen if a vote isn't taken. Anyways, don't matter now.

November 2015 was when it all started for me. Over two-and-a-half years ago; it really does feel so much shorter than that. Thank you @davygallagher for the nomination and thank you all for helping me feel welcome from Day 1. I look forward to working alongside the mod team -- fulfilling our applications to the benefit of our DU denizens -- and to helping along the fun and excitement of all these wonderful stories so near and dear to our hearts. Well done to everyone and thank you.

Interesting Footnote. We currently have 613 existing members on this forum.After perusing every page.A rough estimate would be that somewhere between 30/35 people participated in this discussion,please correct me if i am wrong.Maybe someone has the time and patience to work it out exactly.35over613 is a very small fraction(percentage) Less than 6%!! Just an observation

Going by Last Online, oldest to most recent it's only page 6 out of 13 where the members have last looked at the forum since 2018 started. Quite a few of these members appear only to browse and not post, since their post count is at 0. If you sort by Posts ascending, it's page 10 before you get triple digits.

This is another good reason why there was no vote - the difficulty of compiling a "fair" electoral register and the likely very low turnout in % terms
