Let's Welcome Kati, Moderator Supreme!

[Janak Parekh]

Almost <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2566">one year ago</a>, we hired our first moderator, Steven Cedrone, back when Pocket PC Thoughts was a wee little site then compared to what it is now. Although Steve's done a fantastic job keeping up with the growth, thanks to your patronage Pocket PC Thoughts has become a huge success: we've crossed the 10,000 user mark about a month ago, we're fast approaching our 150,000th post, and in the last three weeks alone we covered the Pocket PC 2003 release and launched subscriber services. In other words, it's time we got a second moderator. So, join me in congratulating Kati Compton... and let's not overwork her today, please? ;)

Well, I tried a bunch of combos for the post, and none of them worked. "Moderatoress"? "Cracked-egg Moderator"? At least "Supreme" sounds nifty. :lol:

Sorry, but it's the Cracked Egg's job to moderate this thread. Post ignored! :wink: :twisted:

Steve

[Video11]

See what happens? You make too many posts and they put you to work. :D

Congratulations Kati.

[Kati Compton]

Moderator Supreme, eh? To me, that just means I'm topped with sour cream and tomatoes.

[Kati Compton]

Sorry, but it's the Cracked Egg's job to moderate this thread. Post ignored! :wink: :twisted:

I think the proper response is

DELTEATED!

BALEATED!

DEL TACO?

Darn, can't stop thinking about tacos...

Congrats Katie. You sure this isn't one of those 'be careful what you wish for' times :wink:

[darrylb]

Congrats - your hobby has just become your job :wink:

[CTSLICK]

There can be but one "Katirator" :)

DEL TACO?

Me too. It's the whole taco supreme thing. The cracked egg taco mod!

[JonnoB]

I am glad to see more women in this traditionally male-centered technology world. There needs to be more balance and perspective. Kati, like Crystal will bring balance to the force - the Pocket PC Forum Force that is.

[rosettaZ]

or it could be just a form of diverse madness.... :mrgreen:

[theon]

Congrats! 0X

What powers do you have?
Yeah, and do you use them "for good or for awesome?" :lol:

[Kaber]

This is going to be so much fun. Its like the perfect combo of mods now.

I can hear the screams! :twisted: :devilboy: :twisted:

[ctmagnus]

I can hear the screams!

Come on, she can't be that ugly. :mrgreen:

[beq]

Congrats (for the umpteenth time)! :) :beer:

Must say I prefer some of the handles to the real names. Can never spell Janokh's full name for example...

[Iznot Gold]

Excellent news...
so your subversive plan to over throw Jason and take over the site has achieved its first objective!

No...well done...now get back to work! lol

Good luck Kati!

Oh, and mchang - thanks. :)

You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the Force.
You believe it's this moderator?

Hehe congrats Kati!

A good start as a moderator: derailing and splitting you'r own welcomming thread :):):) Hope to see that more.

[Kati Compton]

griph, JackTheTripper: :oops:

JvanEkris: Gotta moderate myself too... &lt;sigh> ;)

[Crystal Eitle]

Gotta moderate myself too... &lt;sigh> ;)
Yeah, that's the hardest part of joining the team. I'm much more aware of what I write now, even in the forums.

I think it's hilarious that they roped one of the biggest perps of the off-topic remark into being a moderator! :lol:

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Congrats Kati! :way to go: :sunny:

I guess we'll be seeing more of this guy though...... :nonono:

Ain't PI's Hierarchical tasks nifty? :wink:

It IS a sleeping cat! All this time, I have been looking at it thinking it was a cracked egg!

It all depends which way you tilt your head. The only avatar on the whole site (that I know of) that has that effect.

As far as I can tell, it looks like a sleeping cat when you look at it normally. I have to tilt my head sideways to see the egg.

How would tilting your head help you see the cat? I mean, cats don't sleep clinging to to wall. Usually. 8O

[Crystal Eitle]

I'm just amazed that anyone saw the cracked egg first. I always just thought it was a sleeping kitty. I didn't see the cracked egg until other people started mentioning it.

[Kati Compton]

Maybe I should add a ball of string....

Or perhaps that would make people think it was an avatar of the act of cooking spaghetti carbonara.

I can't win. :lol:

[ctmagnus]

Since I found out it's actually a cat, I only get the egg if I tilt my head to the right.

I had a simple solution: as long as she splits the thread when she goes off-topic, there's nothing wrong with such posts. :lol:

--janak

[Hyperluminal]

The very first few times I saw your avatar, I thought it was the egg... actually I thought it may have been an egg, but I wasn't really sure what it was. Then I saw it was a cat... :)

Anyway, congratulations! I can't believe the site had only one mod this long, and now only two. Compared to most sites, even ones much smaller than this, two is very few...
