Democratic Underground has new moderators!

[Skinner]

As usual, we had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down. We had to turn down a number of very qualified people. We hope that everyone who applied to serve as a moderator this turn will consider applying again next term.

A moderator switch is always a little chaotic, so I want to apologize in advance for any problems that may arise over the next few days. Thank you for your understanding.

Please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.

HERE ARE YOUR MODERATORS FOR THIS TERM:

It's great to see so many familiar names and new faces among the current mod line up -DU is truly in good hands.

To all the outgoing mods and indeed to all the moderators I worked with returning for another term, I'll miss working with you guys. It was a great experience and you gave me such friendship, support and encouragement that I'll always value and never forget :toast: :toast: :yourock:
