Just a few things to update everyone on regarding the management of the message board in the weeks and months to come.
Once the domain is finally setup and operational....which should be sometime between now and the first of the week (hopefully)....there will be some changes in management of the various areas.
Bashful has been absolutely fantastic in helping out with the board, script changes, making suggestions, and just an all-around good friend.....but after everything is up and running he will be returning to managing the field reports....this is not to say that he will not be joining us in the message board arena....but won't necessarily be handling the problems as he has in the past. I would also like to thank him publicly for all the help he has given to me and the success of this website....I have on many occasions referred to the website as ours during private conversations with him and I truly feel as though it is a joint effort. This entire website would not have been as successful as it has without his daily involvement - BASHFUL, I SAY TO YOU WITH ALL THE HEARTFELT THANKS I CAN MUSTER THANK YOU!
I will be returning to the message board on a regular basis along with handling a new and improved trivia contest......the upcoming brothel fantasy football league for next year...and many other things that will be coming online as time progresses.
I have known for sometime now that Bash and I could not continue to handle everything ourselves as it is becoming almost impossible now for us to handle those things that we do handle. It was this that finally brought me to the conclusion of adding an official message board moderator....he (yes it is a guy) will be available for handling questions.....making sure that things go ride off into the sunset(IE: getting waaaaay off-topic)......handling problems and issues in private email, etc.
If there is a message posted that is obviously out of line and needs to be deleted.....he will also have the ability to handle the matter.
Allowing someone else to have that kind of control is a critical issue for both Bashful and I as we want to make sure that nobody mis-uses it or lets the "power" go to their head. This was one of the factors involved in letting go of the day to day stuff regarding the board.
IT IS THEREFORE WITH GREAT PRIDE AND ANTICIPATION OF GREAT THINGS TO COME THAT I APPOINT ARTIC BEAR THE OFFICIAL MODERATOR OF THE MESSAGE BOARD!
AB, and I have not always agreed on everything and we will in all lieklihood not agree on everything in the future; however, we have the ability to at least discuss things out and work towards the same common goal - to make this site one of the best on the internet.
I apologize for being so long winded....but then again what does one expect of lawyers.....in the words of a famous President - Lawyers are to law what Proctologists are to medicine - George Herbert Walker Bush

Good, now that I've gotten everyone riled up over my moderation of the message board, I now happily turn it over to you, AB. I need the time to write that book.
Folks, I want you to take it easy on AB while he decides his own take on how best to moderate the message board. I hope he will do a better job than I did!
Be seeing you, and welcome aboard, AB!

Just remember - be moderate in all things.

GP, In order to show your appreciation on how much help Bashful has provided, you should give him a prize for that. I recommend that you give him a round trip air ticket to Reno as a prize. I believe that Bashful will be very happy to receive this prize. Right? Just kidding.
Zymol
P.S.- I really appreciate the work that you two have done here.

Posted by ArcticBear on December 04, 1997 at 23:01:38:In Reply to: Some pertinent changes to the MB MGT posted by Georgia Powers on December 04, 1997 at 22:02:07:Well, I'm truely touched. I believe it is the goal of all of us that we want the message board to remain a viable resource for LPIN and that community of cyber-deviates that I am so proud to associate with. GP, you're right, we don't always agree on every point, but then again we really don't have too. I respect your accomplishments, and your wishes. Most of all I am grateful for the forum you have given all of us, you're contributions to the subject, and the trust you have seen fit to place in me. I will do my best to live up to it. (incidentally, bears seem to have unusally small crainal cavities)
Bashful, likewise we all have appreciated your contributions both on your board and here with GP. You're maintaining of the field reports and acrhieveing of the message board has been inspiring. GP could not have asked for a better companion in this. As for me, well, I decided to accept the offer because I to am comitted to this community. There's an old adage that says "Never turn down a combat assignment" I typically do live by those words. I'm sure all of you will continue to help GP, Bashful and I keep this site a quality place to find information and fellowship (figure of speech ladies) in this thing we call CWMC. Thanks again all.

Dear ArcticBear,
A very big congratulations is in order here. GP could not have picked a more worthy and capable CWM'ing soul such as yourself as moderator of the most enlightening message board ever to grace the cyber-landscape.
I'm quite sure that everyone here shall be more than eager in cooperating with you in making things operate that much more smoothly.
Again, AB, my hats off to ya for a smashingly successful endeavor.
Best regards,
Unclebob

Congratulations on your assignment. I realize that it will be an exercise in self control to refrain from tinkering with the new toy. There is a saying in baseball that some of the best trades are the ones you fail to make. I think that it may hold true for the decision to intervene in this forum also. Good luck, Bamboo

AB,
You're a definite asset to the team, that's for sure. I'm sure you'll do a great job. I like the way this cyber-community is evolving.
Take care,

PS: Are references to "Adjectival Bear Syndrome" allowed now ?

So just who is the "Artic" Bear

update on website
Posted by Georgia Powers on December 09, 1997 at 22:42:08:OK OK....here's the latest scoop on the website.....I was unfortunately given some bad information regarding the DNS pointers and passed along the incorrect IP addresses to the US domain.....how we have that problem straightened out and the correct info has been sent down the pike.
We should be back online sometime between tomorrow and Friday.
ENJOY!

Hey! A whole new world out there! I think the site with all the field reports, etc. has been down (in transit?) since I discovered the message board last week. Looks like a great collection of information! Good work GP, Bashful, and AB! Can't wait to plow through it all this weekend. NCsnake
