Popular Post downzy Posted September 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys and gals. At this point I'd like to announce that all Boston Red Sox fans and Rob Ford supporters should consider themselves banned effective immediately! But to be serious for a moment, I was probably as, if not more, surprised as most of you that UK Subs asked me to join the mod team a little while ago. I want to thank him, ER, and the rest of the Mod team for including me. Most will likely notice my presence as a moderator to be minimal at first. UK Subs, ER, Russ, Power, Foresakan, Black Sabbath already do a fantastic job moderating this forum that I obviously plan on following their lead. This means that I intend to limit my duties, at least initially, to mostly to the realm of custodial (helping merging duplicate threads, editing thread titles, etc). All matters regarding censure, warnings, and deleting inappropriate posts will be left up to the moderators who have earned the faith and trust of this community (within reason, I will help when the policies of this forum are obviously violated). With time I hope to earn everyone's trust so that any action taken by me would not be considered controversial by most. Also, since most of my posting activity of late occurs within Anything Goes, I will be doing very little moderating in that section of the forum. Some of you might know me as being quite passionate on topics relating to politics and current events. I do not want to discourage anyone from posting in that forum (or any forum here at mygnrforum) because we happen to disagree on a topic. There should be absolutely no concern whatsoever that my role as moderator will affect another poster's ability to express their viewpoint, no matter how much I may or may not disagree with it. I still expect and hope that the regular cast of characters who spar with me on the usual topics keep up their opposition to my opinions. In other words, I hope Shades continues to post regularly Finally, for those who know very little about me, I'm a 34 year old Canadian that has been a die-hard GNR fan since 1990. I was aware of, and liked, the band in the late 80s, but it wasn't until a friend played me a bootleg version of November Rain sometime around 1990/91 that I joined the bandwagon. My first forays into the GNR online community was in 1995/96 when I joined the old Dust N' Bones mailing list. I've always considered the GNR online community to be special, as it helped many get through some very lean times. I consider MyGNRForum to be the very best online community for GNR fans and am grateful to have discovered it in 2006. I think we can all agree that though many of us have very different takes and opinions, there is something about the band, old and new, that keeps us hooked. I look forward to many more years of talking, debating, and sharing our thoughts on GNR and non-GNR matters here at this forum. Thanks and "blame Canada!"

Powerage5 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The only thing that could make this better is the downfall of Rob Ford. No, he can stay - I like reading about his mishaps.

Apollo Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Beside's his crazy left-wing political obsession and often anti-America rants, Downzy is a pretty strong choice.I've always thought he was one of the best posters in the GnR portion.Congrats.
