The merry month of May has seen some changes to the staff at Runevillage. The first promotion saw Avian Maid bumped up to Forum Admin.
She was characteristically modest about her promotion and posted;
"It is realy an honor, and all I can say is I hope I continue to work to deserve the position I've been given. "
This seemed to herald a sudden rush of promotions and changes at the Boards after a quiet period on the staff front.
On 10th May it was announced that Mustangnut became a Board Moderator and Euph was now a Forum Moderator.
Euph commented, "Well as many of you know I joined RuneVillage back in August and was made Assistant Forum Mod in January. I was shocked to have been selected, but I jumped at the chance to help out.
I worked hard in those forums, trying to help everyone out who needed help.
The other day I was promoted to a full Forum Moderator. This was unexpected again! But, again, I jumped at the chance and was promptly given yet more forums to mod.
I'd just like to take the opportunity to thank Hiker, Henner, the Admins, the Mods and of course the Villagers for letting me have this position and to be able to make the village a better place for all of those involved."
As ever, Euph has been active within the Village and was heavily involved in the great RuneVillage event a while back. He also reached combat level 100 this month and it was a sign of his popularity as to how many people posted their good wishes.
Mustangnut has quickly established himself as a popular moderator and his promotion sees him with added responsibility for the forums. He wrote:
"GCSE asked me to write something about my recent promotion to Board Moderator from Forum Moderator. Well first, I must say I was completely surprised by the pm that Henner sent me, I had to read it twice to make sure I understood it. Not that it was long, just a surprise, then I went to a post that I had made and looked under my name to see what it said. Sure enough there it was big as life, "Board Moderator" I guess someone wasn't pulling a practical joke on me after all.
Most of all I want to thank the Site and Forum Admins for putting their trust in me for this job, and for the responsibility that they have entrusted me with."
Mustangnut recently featured in a topic showing that he had passed the mighty SAX in the leader board rankings. This was a popular topic and attracted many good wishes.
That isn’t the end of the changes. Barely had these three settled into their new jobs when Henner announced that Karl Fisher was now a Forum Moderator and Silentones had been made a Board Moderator.
Karl unexpectedly seemed a little vague as to how he felt about it. He posted on the General Announcement forum;
"I have to be careful not to let the promotion distract me from my main goal of keeping the drop parties forum clean, and my calendar up-to-date. I’m thinking about taking some fairly inactive or easy to mod forums."
As always, Avian Maid was on hand to write some encouraging words and hopefully Karl will be there to meet the new challenge.
A not so new face but a welcome return was Runescape Masta who takes up modding duties again.
The one thing we don’t have to worry about in the Village is a lack of mods. Whenever you log on to the Boards and see who else is there, it is very rare for no mods to be on the prowl ! Maybe that is why Runevillage is such a great place to be these days.
We wish all those who have been promoted every success.
