Let me introduce our new Senior Moderator...Horse Plains Drifter

Horse Plains Drifter's promotion is a major part of montanajoe's and my plans to reshuffle the moderators- some of who haven't logged into the forum this year (one who hasn't logged into the forum in over a year).
The Senior Mod spot, which has been vacant since montanajoe was promoted to admin, was purposefully left unfilled while Joe and I evaluated the mods. HPD was a standout; exhibiting strength, as well as sound judgment in dealing with the membership. As Sr. Moderator, Horse Plains Drifter will also fill in as admin in the event that Nunn, Joe, or myself are absent from the forums.
Congratulations HPD.

Congrats.
HPD is a great mod.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Congratulations HPD! Based on this info from Mr. C, (shortage of mods, no show mods, etc) I can't believe this place hasn't descended into an all out cage fight! I guess I'm just now realizing how much adult supervision it takes to keep us old gun guys in line.🤔
Correction: HPD is a great SR. MOD!
(apple shiner)☺️
Congratulation on all these new promotions taking place. With all these changes taking place hopefully someone remembers to change the locks on the doors.......😀

Someone say LOCK ???
Is an email going to go out to the full membership with an org chart and the “vision” for the forums over the next 10 years?
This all feels so corporate since the buy out last year.
Thank you, guys!
In fact my day started out with a message from GBHQ regarding forum issues which I am dealing with. This is the sort of thing that takes up a big part of my day, and is why I need montanajoe, Horse Plains Drifter, and a staff of proactive moderators who show up to work every day to handle the forums. If I don't currently have that staff, I plan to acquire it by adding and removing moderators.
I was assured that "Ammo Inc. sees the forums as a valuable asset, and supports improving the platform."
For the most part, we are being left alone by the new owners.
As for the vision of the forum...that's being left in the hands of montanajoe and I.
Congrats HPD-------------------Ray

Congratulations HPD !
By the way, a few weeks ago you mentioned in an unrelated thread that you imagined yourself becoming a moderator. To show that I am indeed a fair man, your name was submitted for consideration. The result was...
Better luck next time around.
Fine selection
HPD, I’m sure your new position will be more fun than pulling a load of logs with a bent Reach.
Congrats, I think.

Congratulations HPD. As I've said before, I'll try to behave. It's hard sometimes, but I can usually rein in the naughty stuff. 😀

Every single company I have worked for that rolled out a new strategic plan (typically because of desired/envisioned growth), had huge layoffs within two years.

Duly noted.

I'd just like to say congratulations and I'll go ahead and apologize for whatever I do to frustrate the crap out of all you moderators and admins. Its been a minute since I've gotten an email with a warning from any of you, so its about time for that to happen. Who will be at the wheel when I go nuts next time....its anyone's guess.
How long until all the senior moderators graduate high school and move on to a school of higher education for a BS degree.😲
Not until they are willing to give up their Crayons.
That won't ever happen.
Former Sr. Mod montanajoe gave up his crayons when he moved up to admin...although Joe may have eaten a few first 😉.
I can see a rainbow in the toilet😮
I think everyone is sucking up to avoid that goofy hammer.
I believe the entire forum, from newbs to the crustiest 4 star reprobates ... ALL have a "BS" degree ! ... 😆🤣
I sure hope they fire a warning shot across the bow before dropping the big hammer.
Someone told me being a moderator for a forum was like a fire hydrant: Great for putting out fires, but in between fires whenever dogs wanders by...... Might have been Nunn that told me that, I cant remember.
Not to be taken personally and congrats.
Must be time for HPD to hold a gun giveaway!
