Site Administrator Changes

[Texgnome1]

I have both good news and bad news, but wanted to keep you guys in the loop.  First off, the bad news.  Rednotdead had resigned as an admin here at ZA.  Due to some real life issues, she will no longer be able to devote the time to help keeping the site running.  She has been a vital part of this site's success, and we wish her all the best.  She will still be around, but not as often as previously.  I hope you will all join me in wishing her the best.  She has been a good friend to me personally, and I will miss her.

Now for the good news.  Based on Rednotdead's recommendations, and from talking with the other admins, we've all agreed on Rednotdead's replacements.  Both of them have done a tremendous amount of work not just for ZA but also for the community in general due to their contributions.  I hope you'll all join us in welcoming CSLeesburg & Mikaboshi to the admin staff.  Myself, Yellowrose, Bielski, Penguino, and LadyzookeeperNY all agree that they will be a welcome addition and we look forward to abusing working with them even more closely.    We thank them for agreeing to take the next step towards the abyss.    Congratulations, and welcome!

We'll miss you RND.  You really made the site more interesting

But congrats to you both csleesburg and mika!  I knew you'd both be Admins one day

[csleesburg]

Thank you very much for the honor, other Admins. Both Mika and I feel very honored by this. We'll be doing the ZT2 Testing that RND used to do, so it will be at least several days until things are uploaded again.  

[Nique]

  Congratulations you two! I know you will both do a great job!

[mikaboshi]

Aww thanks!! RND has already told us that we will be answering to her if we don't do the downloads just right, so you can be sure we'll be testing them as thoroughly as she did! (Or at least we can try, she was pretty much perfect at it!)

[ShenTirag]

Congrats guys, I know you'll do a grand job and keep things running tip top here!

[pepe_starr]

Congrats you two, certainly really well deserved.

I will certainly miss RND, and want to say what a great job she has done for these forums in the past few years.

[JohnZTMaster]

Mika and Cleesburg, you guys deserve this honor so much!!! No, really, you guys do such great jobs, always answering all of our both expert and newbish questions, being so nice, and you will really make a good addition to the admin team!

But, I'll miss RND she was a good admin. She had a good sense of humor too.

Thanks for keeping us posted!  :goodpost:

rnd, you were a great admin and will be missed.

congrats to mika and cleesburg

[wolfclan4515]

Yes I cant say much more than anyone else.

RND you will be greatly missed.  I really enjoyed working with you and I really like how well you took care of the site.  You did an excellent job and it's sad to know you wont be around much more.  I really enjoyed being on the zoolanders with you and the staff team.  

As for Mika and csleesburg, how did I know?  You guys were just destined to get the job.  You do so much work around here.

Congratulations, Mika and CSL!
