New Moderator

[admin]

We have a new moderator. I would like to welcome threeforthree to the moderator team. :happy0034:

sns2 will be stepping down. I would like to take this time to thank him for his time spent moderating the forums here for the last couple of years. I know he will continue on as a valuable member of the forum.

[Pixel Shooter]

Sorry to see SNS2 step down, something to be said for keeping your sanity lol. For some of us its just too late :p

Welcome aboard Threeforthree, welcome to the zoo :sHa_sarcasticlol:

[Sooner]

Thanks sns2, you were fair and still got into the conversions, like Cat did and I liked that.

Welcome to the nut house threeforthree

[double gun]

Sns2 did an excellent job, it’s a shame he is stepping down.

[Ronji]

Thanks for keeping a level approach and for the work you have done. And thanks for only scolding me once.

[elkhunter11]

Thank you sns2, welcome threeforthree.

[260 Rem]

SNS2 ...Thanks for your good work. No doubt you made a difference in reigning in some actors that treated the forum as a pulpit for their flavor of choice.
Welcome threeforthree.

[catnthehat]

Cat

[Fish along]

Thanks for all the work SNS2. Not an easy role. Welcome to the newbie - threefourthree

[Dean2]

SNS2, very sorry to see you leaving. I know it is a lot of work and a guy can only volunteer free time for so long. You did a great job. Welcome to 3for3.

[B]Would also like to thank Pixel Shooter for his ongoing contributions. He has been a very active mod for many years on here and has recruited and coached a lot of new mods over the years, in addition to all the work he does on the forum itself.

Thank you sns2 and thank you threeforthree for stepping up.

[sns2]

Thanks guys. Being a moderator allowed me to interact with many members, making a number of great friends in the process. That was the best part. That damn Cat never did pass on the company truck. Hopefully ThreeforThree will have more luck laying claim to it. LOL.

Welcome aboard ThreeforThree. AO could not have picked a better guy. Folks, for those of you who don't know him, he is the epitome of an outdoorsman, and knows of that which he speaks. He will do an A1 job!

You did a great job walking the line - allowing everyone to have their say and shutting threads down before they dragged down the forum.

Enjoy your free time!

Now welcome aboard threeforthree to our happy place we visit and ramble on and on with nothing but constructive criticism :thinking-006: :argue2: In hear life is wonderful all the time and we sit and basket weave while those guys come and fit us up with those long sleeved white coats. They're coming to take me away ha ha ho ho hee hee. What size you need? :sHa_sarcasticlol: WELCOME to our :sign0111:farm

[Don_Parsons]

Big thanks SNS, you did a fantastic job in the school of hard knocks. Ha.

Enjoy the good times ahead with family, friends and many of us on the forum,,, that's what really counts.

Ish Knuk Tish-nick Nuck my friend.

That's Inuit for, "Have you seen my Dog."

It's kind of like a farewell as the dog sled team excelerates over the hill with out the pilot at the controls.

[buckbrush]

SnS, does my last warning carry over or clean slate now?

Good luck and thank you for your service, sorry to hear the truck never made it to you.

Condolences 343....er..umm... I mean congratulations.
Always thankful for the work the mods do at keeping this place in working order (except when they delete my posts). It's a thankless job and I hear the pay sucks. I think most guys just do it for the company Christmas party.

[lilsundance]

Best of luck sns2. Sorry we were never able to meet up. We appreciated all your hard work and fair moderating.

[flyguyd]

Good luck in all your future endeavors sns2. You will be missed. Thanks for stepping up threeforthree:thinking-006::sHa_shakeshout:

[CBintheNorth]

"That's too bad..." and "that's great!" all at the same time....
Thanks to both of you.

[chris762]

Thanks SNS2.....Your services were greatly appreciated. Welcome threeforthree.

[CaberTosser]

"That's too bad..." and "that's great!" all at the same time....
Thanks to both of you.

Mixed blessings for both of them, now SNS2 won't be in the illuminati anymore!

Congrats to both gents :)

[does it ALL outdoors]

Thanks for all time you put in SNS, I allways found you to be a very fair mod and not at all heavy handed.

[58thecat]

It was my fault....drove him to rehab....hunting and fishing and shooting rehab that is:)

Who's the new guy?:)

Rehabs waiting......:scared0018:

[Zip-in-Z]

Mr. S .... sorry to see you go, wish you all the best.

D.

[alacringa]

I don't know how some of the long-term mods stay on...all the crap they have to deal with would drive me nuts (granted, I'm already most of the way there). Too bad to see sns2 go though.
I had to run a search to see who 3/3 was, but I found a few threads I recognized. Best of luck!

[gulfman]

Welcome Three I'm sure you will do a great job...……..thanks sns2 for your time

[prinny53]

Thanks sns2, very good if not the best moderator!

Your efforts were appreciated!

[shooter12]

I probably would not be staying on this forum if there was another moderator.
Thanks SNS2 for your hard work and for your support when I needed one.

Out of curiosity, what is the procedure or criteria for picking out moderators? is there a board of other admins that evaluate applicants? How do you apply? What are the metrics? Is it all based on people you know? Do you get paid?

I think it’s whoever they can rope into it and no pay. I don’t think it’s very glamorous. Lol. Maybe a free hat or two and possibly a sucsription to the magazine?

Were playing tourist in the Phoenix area for a month then off to SoCal for a bit.

Was out in Apache Junction, drove down the Apache Trail towards the T-Roosevelt Dam, stunning scenery, came across a tourist trap at Goldfield Az, thought the Mod's would enjoy a few pic's.

Cheers
