New Moderators

This came as a complete surprise. I’ve gained a lot information and help from this web site. I also thank the current mods for their work and appreciate the chance to help in any way possible.

Reading all the great advice from the current Mods, and looking at that list of new ones, I can’t help but feel I’m the Wal-Mart greeter of the group.

Does being a mod give access to that Special Porn Vault?

You’ve got to find the door first, my friend. :chuckle:

Congrats all!

It’s the one with a sticky handle..:)

Speaking as a relatively new mod myself, make I take this opportunity to welcome you guys to the fold, remember to hand your free time in at the door. :wave:

Congratulations everybody.

Well, this comes as a complete surprise, so I don’t have any prepared remarks. But I’d like to start by thanking the Academy…

Congratulations all.

The key to the porn vault can be had by sending Cajun a nominal fee to my offshore account.

Good luck guys.

Good plan.

The Academy gets really cranky if it isn’t properly acknowledged.

Welcome aboard, sir.

Don’t be taken by this. You will get, instead, a key to the Cleaning Closet.

Thanks Thunder and who ever was also foolish enough to allow this to happen. :)

Well! I always thought I’d be the last one to be a Moderator bearing in mind all the antics I’ve got up to.

I’m deeply honoured - OK honored. To be chosen to moderate a website, that has my utmost admiration for all it has done for - The World - And for which The world is a better place.

Thanks for your confidence in me. It is a great Honour to be chosen!

Now where’s that Roussie one?

Thank you all :D I’ll try my best to help others :D

Ditto.

Who would have ever thunk it huh? I mean really, I’ve tried in all earnest to hijack enough threads and make as many smart ass and off handed comments as I possibly could in the hopes that I’d be passed over again.

What does it matter that others (recently elected mods) joined later than I and displayed an infinitely greater maturity level than I could ever hope for? What’s your point? I’m not bitter. I wasn’t FN PISSED … oops , I mean emotionally hurt at all. *sniff* I knew that with resolve, perseverance, a stiff upper lip, and maybe a NEW ATTITUDE (?) my day would come … eventually … finally!

Well I’d like to thank all my supporters here at Thunders who took the time to come out and vote for me. I’m sure you all had to give up quite a lot to get the necessary votes to override the veto. Nice to see that it worked this time.

I’d also like to thank my 2rd grade teacher. No make that all my teachers. Who’s convictions that I’d never amount to squat in life were pretty dead on the money. I’d like to give special thanks to my 2 older brothers and all their friends, who’s constant “pin dick” comments throughout adolescence are perhaps single handily responsible for setting me up the serious depletion of self esteem that lead me to seek out a place like Thunders in the first place.

And now I’d like to extoll a very special heart felt thanks to …, you guessed it, MOM. Yes, dear MOM.
Who, while I was just the tender age of 12, brought her face less than an inch from tear stained cheeks and yelled with enough force to part my hair, “you go ahead and be a quitter, and you be a looser your whole life!” “Go ahead, little Rooty, quit! looser!

Wow Mom. Do you realize that even today, as a grown man, I’ll still stand naked pissing in the wind in a blinding blizzard long after everyone that matters has left all because of that God forsaken moment in time?
Or just how many times I’ve stood steadfast and alone in my convictions while those about me sought to confine and control me with their own fears of what was possible and impossible?

Yes MOM, it was YOU who taught me that ALL things are possible in life. ALL THINGS. I know you thought you were just a mother talking to a child as a mother should. But, I BELIEVED you. I’ve never stopped believing you. Now look what happened! Got any advice on this one?

Last I’d like to thank everyone in my life that ever attempted to mold me in their own likeness. For you too, in your own moments of insecurity pushed and prodded me ever closer to the gates of THUNDER’S PLACE.

Yes, THANK YOU one and all. I’ll try in ernest not to give you a reason to doubt your decision.
I know in time, that I’ll prove to you beyond any shadow of a doubt what so ever, I’m way to mentally unstable for this job. Now if I could just figure a way to get this kind of validation from my wife and kids.

I think a celebration is in order.
What say we all go start a “does masturbation effect gains? thread.

congratulations
