What's this place coming to?

[Wizard]

...and the next thing you know, Oomkes gets a moderator title. omg

Chuck, are you feeling ok? I mean, c'mon... Mark of all people! http://www.wizardsnow.com/smilies/duck.gif

:jk Mark, Congrats! You deserve it. You might as well make yourself useful since you're on here so much anyway! :wink

[Big Dog D]

Can't you just say congratulations to the guy without giving him a hard time? He has some pretty big shoes to fill and I'm sure he could do with some words of encouragement and less harrasment.

Congrats Mark!!!!!!!!

[jbutch83]

Now how did you get him to pose for the picture. He wouldn't do that in Erie, that's for sure, but that might have had something to do with the helmet he was supposed to be wearing. Congrat's Mark.

[pbeering]

When it stops raining up there, paddle over to the embroidery outfit and have them add the appropriate scrambled eggs to the corporate beanie.

Congrats! (or condolences) Whichever is more appropo.

[Crash935]

Oh Jeez Chuck, What were you thinking?

Hope youve got the server waterproofed cause i"m sure Mark will find a way to see if that floats also!


Congrats Mark!

[Landgreen]

Uh oh. A moderator? Is it only to have the power to edit out the skidsteer comments?:D

[Chuck Smith]

Mark is one of the few that come on here every day, that has been around since Hall of Forums. For those that don't know, that is 1999. Not many can say they have been around that long. There are two ways to look at Mods, one is that they are community leaders, and two they are the LTS police. I am glad that *most* of the time the Mods don't have to be police here. We have a great Membership family here, and when there is a problem, believe me, the "Report Post" gets used often ;) Mark has been around long enough to know what is ok, and what is not. He is a natural choice for me as a Mod. We (Mods and myself) can't be on here all the time, but when a problem comes up, there is always one of us here, and if not, that "Report Post" gets one of us here pretty quick.

Welcome aboard Mark.

[T-Zab]

Way to go Buddy :D Will you be the special moderator for the new "Does it Float ? " forumn ?

[Mark Oomkes]

Thanks guys (other than Big Dog, that is), even if you are all a bunch of wise donkeys. :grinz

I have a feeling that Chuck did this so it was easier to keep me in line rather than anything else. :wink That was a long time ago, I can still remember SIMA's
first attempt at a forum, it was actually similar to a blog.

PS And somehow, Chuck made it impossible for me to edit anything that says floating, sinking, pontoons, skidsteers, etc. :confused:

[GMC Driver]

Congratulations Mark! - well deserved.

[Big Dog D]

Thanks guys (other than Big Dog, that is), even if you are all a bunch of wise donkeys. :grinz




Are you going to be the new Fisher Mod or my new "handler" ??? :grinz

[Mark Oomkes]

Are you going to be the new Fisher Mod or my new "handler" ??? :grinz

Yes\No\Maybe, although I think it's going to take more than just me to "handle" you. :eek:

[snowplowjay]

Looks like you will have to behave now......

Oh well more work misbehaving for Renda and Myself now :)


Jay

[Jerre Heyer]

Little plows asks if trying to float equipment is one of the new requirements for moderators........................

He know's that I've done it. Suspects Fred has done it. John D and a golf course just leaves too many possibilities. Chris would do it just to be like every one else and he figures that Alan would never admit it and come on Rich..............If you haven't the boys have.

MMMMMMMMMm keep your friends close and enemys CLOSER ???? LOL :)

Congrats Mark. Chuck doesn't pic a mod lightly.

OH BTW: does floating a volks Bug accross a marsh and driving out the other side count as equipment ?? It did do through ( errr OVER) snowbanks pretty good.

[Tileman]

Floating equipment........................if there has been, no one around here would ever say a thing about it.:nope :nope Stuck, hung up, burried maybe.

So I'm not sure floating equipment is needed to be a mod but it could help.:D

[Durwood]

Congrats Mark a wise choice by Chuck.

[The boys]

I watched an employer try to float a skid steer once (it just sank) but ive personally never floated any on my own.

And congrats mark.


BJ:ff

[Fastjohnny]

That makes 2 Michigan Mods!

Keep everyone in line!

[GuzmanProperties]

Congrats Mark!!!

[Rob]

Congrats, "Admiral"!!!

[Mark Oomkes]

It sure is sounding like there's an awful lot of stories out there similar to mine. Just nobody else with enough guts to own up to making a stupid mistake once in their lifetime though, like I did. By posting it here. :grinz

Durwood, you sure you know what you're saying?

Peter, does this mean I get to wear the beanie with a propeller now?

[Quality SR]

Congratulations Mark, good for you. Keep all the good info and help coming. Rich

[snow problem]

Congrats, Mark, what exactly does a Mod do, keep everone in line.

[apgarconstruction]

way to go MARK O you deserve it and run a great operation up there from what i have heard. glad to have you as a mod on here.

[Prosno]

Congrats, Mark, what exactly does a Mod do, keep everone in line.

He keeps the sheep in line BAAAAAAAAAAAA

[CGSI]

Mark
I am glad that you have reached Mod status. I am sure you will keep things in line here. It will seem funny having you prevent things from getting pulled too far off track or into the gutter:wink Congrats on the position.
