Pleased with the additition of Billy, but I cannot express the disappointment and am utterly apalled how serving for 27 months doesn't warrant an ex-staff rank.

Not going to start drama, however, congratulations to Daan and Billy.

I was extremely dubious with this decision, but after talking to him, and going through as much as I could... I think he will do fantastically. I've pointed of the mistakes of our former staff managers to him, especially the main ones, and he's already made a list of priorities to tackle once he's fully settled in.

I ask that you guys give him the chance he deserves, and view him with an open mind. It'll work wonders. =)
So uh, where's billy?
Probably somewhere in Belgium :lol:

Jk.

You won't be seeing much of him unless you catch him while he's off exploring the game. His prime activity is Monday - Wednesday, as he works the other days.

If I understand correctly, he's going to ease into doing everything. First he'll observe, then he'll act, then he'll act more, and finally he'll just assume his position.

I'd prefer you hold off on giving him a harder time for about a month.

Mike quick question, if a forums moderator resigned, would they be given the ex-staff rank?

I believe so, but I asked Patel and Bergeron about it and they didn't know.

It was a more of a rhetorical question.

Yes, Forum Moderators are staff seeing as you can apply to become a Forums Moderator and thus get accepted into the staff team. Not only that but they show up on the staff list as staff and they are able to see the staff section (Or at least portions of it).

Thus they should get the ex-staff rank, however they shouldn't get it in-game (If it is given in-game) because they were not staff in-game.

This is just my guess, if Ex-Forum moderators don't get ex-staff that's retarded though.

Why might I ask do actual Ex-Staff not get ex-staff just because they didn't go from staff to not staff after this post, that seems a bit retarded to me.
