The Admin team ( mailto:M@x - M@x , Tony, Jim, Giogo, Jody and Bob) are delighted to announce that Angelo and Darqdean (Dean) have agreed to move to the dark side and join the admin team.
Even before Tony decided to take a sabbatical, we had agreed that it would be wise to strengthen the team. This provides us with better cover on both a daily basis, and when Admins are on holiday. Dean and Angelo have been great contributors to the site over a long period, and will be a major asset to the team.
In appointing Dean and Angelo we have appointed two people out of a number of members who would have been very worthy appointees. We are very fortunate in having a wonderful depth of collaborators who could have taken on these roles.

Thanks guys. We (at least I think Dean and I are of one mind on this) will try to proof worthy of the title. I will remain very active in Unsigned Bands - so no worries there! EDIT: Looking at the time stamp on Bob's announcement - why does this feel like coming home from work and landing in another job? ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

Just for the sake of creating chaos and awakening greed... Zappa88 and me were talking with guigo yesterday about a possible raise for our outstanding, amazing, un-earthly work as reviewers as of late...... Can you tell me what kind of raise does an Admin Member get? Or I guess they're no longer hourly-workers but they have contracts.... -------------

Thanks once more guys. And a few personal responses: @The T: we know you're on our site, and I've been thinking about changing my name to darqangel @Utah Man: I asked for my checks to be quarterly - that way it ads up to something substantial @Maani: We need a fourth man for bridge, so if you feel like it.... @fandango: nothing ever stops, since nothing ever begins - the world is you and you are the world  @Tuzvihar: I'll be doing E&O and DE work whenever time allows and need arises, but if you can find a replacement don't hold back ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

Thanks guys - your congrats are much appreciated

@progismylife - that was my reaction too @David - When we find out what we've gotten into I don't think we'll be allowed to tell you  My thanks to the Admins for having the confidence in me - the PA trip has been fun so far and I hope it will continue.
And finally my heartfelt congrats to Angelo - an appointment more worthy than mine - well done dude! ------------- What? |
