[Gloria_Oldenpinner]

_AAA AAAAAA YYYYYAAAAAA_AAAAS!!!!

Congratulations, @Iliara_Mustardtop & @Jacoby_Elderfun1!!!! You guys are gonna do great, I'm so excited for ya!!

[Awesome_Lensfun1]

Wow! Congratulations,

@Iliara_Mustardtop and @Jacoby_Elderfun1, did you actually have to do anything to become moderator, or did it just happen?

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

Thanks you guys!!
@Awesome_Lensfun1 and @Snoelle_Fitzshine To answer your question, quite a while ago I had sent an email to the Aetherlight explaining that I wanted to be a moderator and why I thought I could be a good moderator. They said they would keep me in consideration if they ever decided to add new mods. And then yesterday they emailed my parents and said they were offering me a role as honorary moderator!
So naturally I accepted

[Awesome_Lensfun1]

I had sent an email to the Aetherlight

@Xonos_Darkgrate1, did you do that? That might be the reasoning to your new found shock of revelation.

[Skybie_Jumpdust1]

Congratulations @Jacoby_Elderfun1 & @Iliara_Mustardtop!!!!

I was so surprised when I saw on the front page before I signed in,

Hey everyone, I'm super excited to announce that we have 2 new moderators joining the team today, @Iliara_Mustardtop and @Jacoby_Elderfun1!!!!

!!!

Then I knew I had to check it out!

P.S.
This is sooo cool!
P.P.S.
@Jacoby_Elderfun1 & @Iliara_Mustardtop,
Did you guys get a lesson on how to work the moderater extras or is it pretty easy to figure out?

[Christopher_Puddlevest1]

NO WAY!!! THAT IS REALLY COOL! CONGRATS @Jacoby_Elderfun1 and @Iliara_Mustardtop!!!

No fair!!!!!!!!

Summary

JK, you both deserve it! You both earn it! Thanks for being part of the Mods!

[Matt_Bonnetfolly1]

Woah, this is really cool!!!

Congrats @Iliara_Mustardtop and @Jacoby_Elderfun1 for your new promotions!

And this is actually interesting... What could it mean if they're putting in Honorary Moderators? Is something big happening? This does make sense with all the the things @Coop_Blimppenny has been saying/asking... Is Episode 4 near the production state? Are they redirecting staff back to a new update?

Also, is there any difference between Honorary Moderators and @Hanna_Brassheart's Community Moderator and the Staff Moderators? Or do they all have the same abilities?

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

@Skybie_Jumpdust1 Thank you!! There’s a page that explains a few things, but mostly we’re just figuring it out on our own with tips from Hanna and Coop
Thanks @Christopher_Puddlevest1!
@Matt_Bonnetfolly1 I don’t know any more than you about Episode 4 yet, but I hope so!! Currently Jacoby and I have the same abilities as Hanna, we’re just called by a different title because we’re in a trial period. I don’t know about the difference between community and staff moderators, but my guess is they have a bit more power than us.

[Matt_Bonnetfolly1]

So does that mean after a while, you can get promoted to Community Moderators?

Oh and wait.... do you guys get access to the super-secret-all-private-nobody-knows-about-it-moderators lounge?

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

Are Honorary Moderators different from Community Moderators?

No, they have the same role! But they are honorary because they're just trying out the position for the month to see if they like it and are a good fit!

So basically if it’s still working out, we’ll be officially community moderators at the end of the month!

And...yes, we do have access to the super-secret-all-private-apparently-someone-knows-about-it-moderators lounge. That’s where we can discuss different forums issues.

[Matt_Bonnetfolly1]

In that case, it would be cool if it was called Apprentice Moderator.

That makes it sound like we're in medieval times, Miss Iliara of the Mustardtop. Like as if we're living in the reign of Lord Coop of Blimppenny, with Duke Anakin the Steamwalker, the successor of King Goku the Ironheart, the successor of Lady Pancake (who insisted on being called Lady instead of Queen) , in which you, miss are training with Apprentice Jacoby under Siress Hanna the Brassheart.

And of course, I am the lowly peasant, who will try to grow as much food as possible to sustain the rest of the kingdom.

[Jacoby_Elderfun1]

All right! Let's go down through the list!

---

Thank you, @Coop_Blimppenny, @Ariella_Newheart, @Jane_Gogglerubble, @Emman_Jumpsong1, & @Sierepica_Fuzzywalker!

I promise you I will give you the best I can offer!

(I cannot wait to see their reactions to this, hehehehe!)

I couldn't believe it when I saw the email. (I was so excited I jumped up without even reading it! )

---

Thanks, @Taka_Merespinner1, @Hans_Oddcraft, & @Xonos_Darkgrate1! It means a lot to me.

@Peregrine_Appleclock

ecstatic tight hug

(Whew! That's a ton of mentions!)

---

It means a lot, guys. I wanted to thank you all. Like I said:

this isn't about me. It's about you guys.

Great things are going to happen soon on the forums. So buckle up and enjoy the ride...

@Awesome_Lensfun1 and @Snoelle_Fitzshine To answer your question, quite a while ago I had sent an email to the Aetherlight explaining that I wanted to be a moderator and why I thought I could be a good moderator. They said they would keep me in consideration if they ever decided to add new mods. And then yesterday they emailed my parents and said they were offering me a role as honorary moderator!So naturally I accepted

And from my side of the story...

I joined the forums way back when the game was almost brand new. I remember my first post asking where an item was.

Plans

Where are the plans for the Gyrostabilisers and Accelerating Apparatus?

Good, old @Aethershib_Vestgap1 was the one who replied and Mr. @Goku_Ironheart helped me with a quest a few days later.

The first time those guys made their posts, I thought, "This is what I want to do. Help people." So I stuck around the forums giving advice to players on different quests. About a month into it a few of us brought up the topic of moderators. Goku told us about the whole process. I knew this was something I wanted to do so I sent in an email. Goku said he would give me the job when the new forums were created.

True to his word, he sent an email a day after the new forum startup. I was so excited about it! The only problem was my mom was still against the Aetherlight at that time. So I told Goku I was going to have to give it up until further notice.

Things finally worked out with my mom but by that time, the Aetherlight wasn't looking for a new mod. I kept praying for God's will through the whole thing and I asked the staff a few times if the forums were thinking of accepting a few more mods anytime soon. It wasn't until two days ago that my prayers were finally answered.

It's really been awesome how the whole thing went. I'm really excited. I don't know if I'll be a Community Moderator, but if I do, I promise you I'll give you everything I got. Thank you, guys!

[Iliara_Mustardtop]

I couldn't believe it when I saw the email. (I was so excited I jumped up without even reading it! )

Hah, same!! My mom said, “Oh, someone just wrote a nice email about you” and I was like “What? Who’s writing emails about me?” And she said, “the picture’s a guy in a red hood” and I screamed and literally jumped up and down

[Nola_Applequill1]

I just thought about this, but... I joined just at the right time, because if @Jacoby_Elderfun1 and @Iliara_Mustardtop become official permanent moderators after December, and new people join, they'll think you were always moderators, and I can say, "I KNEW THEM BEFORE THEY WERE MODERATORS! MUAHAHAH!"

[Matt_Bonnetfolly1]

Is there anyone who can say that for @Hanna_Brassheart? I'm a bit old, but not old enough for me to have known Hanna before she became a mod.

[Nola_Applequill1]

Is there anyone who can say that for @Hanna_Brassheart?

Not me.
