All,
I'll start with the good news first b/c I like good news. I'm happy to announce that we've added /u/coffeencreme to the mod team! She's obviously been around a while and its great to have her helping with the sub. Its always nice to have some OGs around along with some of the newer people. Take a moment and give her a good DNM hazing. Extra points for creativity. I mean, we all know this means she's been arrested and flipped. So welcome her the only way this community can.
On the downside we've lost two mods. /u/young_k and /u/Jay-__ (I can never remember his actual username, hopefully I got it right). Both of them worked really hard during their tenure as mods and wish both of them the very best. Please take a moment to wish them well and thank them for their donation of time and spirit to the community. Again, creativity for the reasons are welcomed. I can confirm that they are cashing in their AlphaBay 401K given Jay's bearish outlook on the overall economy. I advised him to liquidate and sell at whatever the price. He's moving his funds into precious metals in case you are wondering.
Again, both sad and good news.
Despite occasional drama, I think the mod team here is the best that I've seen out of any subreddit. They all seem very active, they all seem to care, and they are all very mature about all issues. Hats off to you guys!
