It gives me great pleasure to announce that Uccisore will be taking over from me as the admin of the ILP Forums. Although a relatively new mod, Uccisore has been here since 2002 and knows his way around the forums. He is respected by staff and members alike and I know his good judgement and people skills will make him an excellent admin for ILP.
…will you be leaving ILP as well Ben? You would break so many hearts if you did. Please don’t leave!
On the other hand, I’m rather perplexed why this position was not handed to SIATD… no one I believe could fill your shoes better than him Ben. What’s the in-depth story?
Despite my disagreements with Ucc, I still respect his candor and ability to stir a good discussion into a worthwhile debate. In all fairness, I look forward to seeing what this new admin can do. Congrats, Ucc… =D>
Hey all!
It wasn’t too long ago that I was as surprised at this idea as you all must be now. I think it will be great for everyone though, and I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of changes, not from the point of view of the members, and especially not early on while I’m learning the ropes.
My first big official request would be for someone who knows ben better than I do to write something awesome about him here. He’s given us this great place we all share, and I’ll be very proud of myself if I can maintain things at the standards he’s kept up since I’ve been here.
I’ll still be around but only behind the scenes and maybe popping my head in every now and then. Thanks for the suggestion but SIATD already has a job that he does extremely well over at Symposia. Uccisore is the boss here now!
Well it’s good to know you’ll still be around… just in case something happens. I’m not saying something will happen, but just in case someone mentions the possibility of something happening, you’ll be here in case something actually does happen. If however, something does happen, I disavow all knowledge of ever mentioning or hearing something about something happening; or even the possibility of something happening.
So Ucc… will you be changing your title from “ILP Legend” to “Janitor” or something less subtle?
Trust me, if you knew how I’d behaved when some of the bullshit of the last 12 months was happening, you wouldn’t think I was appropriate either. Ucci is a considerably better choice and I’m not just saying that to get in with the new boss. Though I am saying it for that reason as well.
Congrats Ucci. When’s the ‘things are gonna change around here’ speech going to be delivered?
