Well, Administrators (Midnite and I) have complete access to every aspect of the forum. Moderators (no one, so far) only have limited power on the board they're given access to. But a "Global" Moderator (Dom) has access to every board on the forum - as well as limited administrative functions.

Post by: Connie on November 05, 2002, 11:14:22 AM: Oh my...I AM impressed. (I think) LOL
I bet he's gonna be sorry. I have a feeling being moderator has taken its toll on Midnite (mere shadow of her former self).

Hey Dom...
Psssst! Shhhh! Come 'ere.
Listen, ya know what would be great? Shh....shh...
Pick a day when Midnite isn't gonna be around, ya know? Then have an "anything goes" day. YOU know...anyone can post whatever they want -- anything goes!
Then get this...right before she comes back, we all go run and hide! LOL Shhhh!!!

love

Post by: ROBINV on November 05, 2002, 01:02:27 PM: I'd like to offer a very warm welcome to Dom, our "Global Monitor."

I'm sure you'll do a bang-up job on behalf of Midnite, MB and especially us, the "cousins" on this wonderful board.

Many thanks to all of you!

Love, Robin

Now, now - let's not try to give Dom any bad ideas. ;) Keep in mind that even if Midnite might not be around, I probably will be. [winkb] Though I have complete confidence in Dom because, as Midnite has mentioned, he was a part of the original planning of our first VantageNet forum. In fact, it was his idea to have the montages change (particularly after Sci-Fi brought DS back in 1999). Dom also moderated the forum in 2000 while Midnite and I were at the NY Fest. I like to think of Dom as a third benevolent dictator in the forum's new triumvirate. [wink2]

No need to apologize, Connie - I know you were only joking, and I love your sense of the absurd. If you'd been even the slightest bit serious, somehow I think you're a hell of a lot smarter than to try to hatch a plot with Dom in public. [winkg]

I suppose I might have also pointed out that Dom is a hell of a lot smarter than to be swayed. Not only because of his own innate intelligence and extreme loyalty, but because Dom probably realizes that whatever the MB bestoweth can easily be taketh away - and what might follow could make the Ten Plagues of Egypt look like a minor slap on the wrist.

also, good to know that MB and midnite have more help.

Thank you all so very much for your show of support. (It sure beats hate-mail, LOL!) It's great to be a member of this forum and hanging out with a great bunch of folks. And an honor to be able to become a part of a great team doing good things to help keep our beloved Dark Shadows alive and kicking.

And a big ol' thank you to the talented Castlebee for indulging me in my moderating fantasy! (And they said it wouldn't go to my head, hah! :)) I was floored when I clicked on your link to GLOBALMODERATOR.com.

http://www.geocities.com/castlebeetoo/GlobalMod.htm

How clever! How funny!! And how sweet!!! I'm sending you five, Get Out Of Moderator Jail Free, forum cards. No really, I was genuinely touched by your efforts. I printed out the page and have it posted on the wall next to my computer to keep me grounded (and to remind my hubby that he is married to royalty, lol). I've ordered the purple cape, sceptor, and assorted crowns. I'll be wearing them at the fest so everyone will know who I am (I hate wearing name tags). ;)

Again, thanks all,
(Humbled) dom

Just have to rave over how much I luRVe (pronouncing it in Cilla-ese) your new avatar! Stop! in the Name of Love! before you STAKE my Heart!

Sounds like something Barnabas SHOULD have sung to Julia.

EMI has a new series called "Sixties" that is CD reissues of the original LPs in the original mono mixes. I just got that Cilla one, with Cilla's first 2 albums. It sounds simply gr-rand! I'm casting covetous eyes upon the Lulu one.

Hope your day is groovy, hon!
