New Admins Announced

[paulcalloway]

As promised, we've added two Assistant Administrators to the AC. Please note, I've not asked them to moderate. Their duties will be to assist me in developing the nuts and bolts of the website, improving the software, acquiring / storing backups,etc.

I needed two people with some software skills that go beyond standard web browsing and web processing.

Tripp Corbin, a web developer in his own right, has agreed to assist in this area. Eric Tipton, formerly of the Camp Case Gazette will also be assisting me. Between the three of us, you should see continuing improvement of the AC .

I'd urge you not to go to them with standard moderating problems, but feel free to address them if you're having problems with the software, encounter errors or have other concerns of a more web-technical nature.

Thanks for your attention. Please welcome them and encourage them in their new roles here at the AC.

Welcome to Tripp and Eric...This post can be deleted but I just have to say Eric, I remember when you came on here with your 'Common Ground' idea and were basically asked to leave and take your idea with you. You were too new in the hobby and had no events under your belt to be talking like you did. Well, that was awhile ago and I think things have changed to the better. You had your little MSN group and somehow changed it into the Camp Chase group which has now like 600 members. I campaigned with you before all of that and knew you were for real and knew you cared for the hobby and it was the young one's like you that will keep the Campaign movement going strong. Sooo, I say bully for Paul, for adding you to the team here...

John:

To paraphrase...what a long, strange trip it's been. During my journey in the hobby, I've learned that the work that goes on behind the scenes and being on the cutting edge of improvement are where it's at. I am excited about this new venture and look forward to helping Paul continue the tradition here at the AC.

See you at McDowell in May?

Eric and Tripp,

Thank you for your willingness to contribute here. There's a sense of renewed enthusiasm since the forum's return, and you both will be welcome additions.

Eric, you have consistently asked thought-provoking questions and encourged positive participation on the CCG forum. Your experience on the "long, strange trip" will be a great asset here. It's great that you started this on your birthday!

Tripp, your expertise in computers will be immensely valuable. Paul has endured pestilence and plagues during his building, rebuilding, and maintenance efforts. Thank you for coming alongside.

Paul, excellent move!

With hearty appreciation,

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I hope Eric and I prove to be a valuable resource for Paul and the AC forum.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I hope Eric and I prove to be a valuable resource for Paul and the AC forum.
I'll chime in with my illustrious admin partner to thank everyone for the welcome. I'm really looking forward to working with and getting to know Tripp. Paul has built one helluva house here and we'll do the best we can to help things move forward.

We have been provided with some specific goals: aesthetic and operational improvement, stability and preventing Paul from getting migraines - not necessarily in that order. :D
