Changes are brewing here at BigBlueBall. We’re starting off the new year with some new staff members, and a fond farewell to a longtime staffer.
First, help me welcome the newest members of our MSN/WLM Team, Stigmata and Philip.
Stigmata, who was also our December ’06 Member of the Month, joins BigBlueBall as an Advisor — with the ability to moderate discussions throughout the MSN/WLM section of our forums.
Philip, also a past MotM winner, is the newest Mentor for the MSN/WLM section, helping people get acquainted with BigBlueBall, find their way around, and welcoming them to the community.
Both of these guys have been very helpful in answering questions about MSN and Windows Live Messenger, and I know they will make a great addition to the team.
Next, Jon8RFC has been promoted to an Advisor on our AIM team. Jon has been a great mentor, and put excellent effort into some of our most popular posts in the AIM forums. His promotion well deserved.
Finally, we bid a fond farewell (of sorts) to Tigerblade. Tom has been active at BigBlueBall for the past two years, serving as an Advisor on our AIM team. Other commitments require him to step down from the staff, but he promises to poke in here regularly, so he’s not really leaving. Thanks, Tom… and if you don’t come back and visit regularly, we know where to find you! π
January 4, 2007 at 7:44 am #156031detn8rParticipantIt’s great to see BBB grab up some real talent on staff. I’m confident we have a great bunch right now that will come up with some great new ideas this upcome year.
As for Tom, sadly another piece of the puzzle is now gone, but it’s good to know that it’s because of commitment and not lack of interest. Good luck with your future endeavors, man!
January 4, 2007 at 8:11 am #156042Tea GrannyMemberI have to say I really hate threads like this. I get all happy about the good news then I get hit with the bad news. I wish these were two separate threads. That way I can ignore the sad one, and post on the good one. π‘
I am happy for Phillip and Stigmata (avartar issues). I read most of the posts both of you make, and I’m glad you’ve both been given recognition for it.:D
I recognize Jon8RFC’s name, but I’m sad to say I don’t often get to interact with any of his posts. I am happy for your promotion none the less. π
I refuse to comment on the Tigerblade thing. I hate sad changes!!! *sniff… sniff*:crying:

January 4, 2007 at 9:48 am #156032imported_EvilSephMemberThere’s not much to say here. Welcome to the Team. I don’t doubt your abilities one bit. Well deserved (and some long overdue) recognition for excellent work.
We now have a very strong team, I think we can ‘promise’ big changes in the MSN section π
Congtrats Jon8RFC and Vanessa (for her promotion too)
I’m really sad to see Tom leave though π
January 4, 2007 at 11:08 am #156038StigmataMemberThanks guys π
I will do my best, and I hope I can live up to these great expectations you are setting down.
Congratulations to Philip and Jon8RFC, and good luck to Tigerblade in the future.
January 4, 2007 at 11:11 am #156044PhilipModeratorHi Jeff:
I just wanted to say that I am elated that you have chosen me to become a Mentor for the MSN/WLM section. My intention of accessing BBB at the very beginning was to look for solutions to problems I was having. I never thought that I would be giving more help to members rather than asking for it. Maybe it’s true that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Thanks also go to EvilSeph for giving me the good news, and to TeaGranny and detn8r for their very supportive words. My congrats to Stigmata and Jon8RFC for their promotions. And finally, take care, Tigerblade. Remember to visit when time permits.
Thanks again, guys!
January 4, 2007 at 11:18 am #156041Eagle_KiwiMemberCongrats Stig, and Philip. π
I’m surprised, yet not surprised at all. You both deserve this, and I hope you’ll enjoy the further challenges.And Jon, like Tea Granny I haven’t had much interaction (apart from recently tracking you down geographically π ) – but I wish you good luck in your new role too.
Tiger – congratulations on having made a hard decision. I hope you won’t suffer withdrawal symptoms too badly, and yes, hope to keep in touch occasionally anyway.
Cheers for the future – and thanks for the past. Nice to know you.January 4, 2007 at 1:17 pm #156036princeGParticipantWelcome to the team Stigmata and Philip =) The talent is just overflowing now along with Evilseph’s return =)
Congratulations for your promotion as well Jon, a great member left, but another great has just progressed =)
And good luck Tom, I’m sure you’ll still show up every now and then.January 4, 2007 at 1:30 pm #156045PhilipModeratorThanks for the kudos, PrinceG and Eagle Kiwi. Hope I live up to it!
January 4, 2007 at 2:19 pm #156043PolarBearNPRParticipantCongratulations all around! To the new mentor and advisors for excellent input in their areas of expertise; to Tom for making the hard decision to become a regular member once again; and to BBB for assembling one kick-butt team to answer all of those pressing questions on all things IM and more.
January 4, 2007 at 8:54 pm #156035sarahtownyMemberI know I don’t visit very often, but I did today… glad I did. Congratulations to both of you and your new positions on the staff of bbb. In my view both have earned to be on the staff. Very much so, enjoy it! I am positive both of you will be a great addition to the bbb team. In fact I have no doubt at all :0)
As for Tiger, sorry to see you go. Don’t worry too much it’s not to bad on the outside… honest! hehe Enjoy your new adventures, always had time for you, as you were always a great member of staff. When you posted in the staff room (when I was on there), I always took notice of what you had to say. But as your going now all I have to say is have a great time. I am sure you will :0)
January 4, 2007 at 11:37 pm #156037MrEggsaladParticipantWell congrats Stiggy and Philip! That’s great that you two got on staff, always nice to have new faces in staff! And Jon, that’s great about moving up to Advisor, I figured you would get that sometime.
Tom, you’ve done quite a lot and we all thank you for that. But, life happens and sometimes you gotta stop whatever it is you were doing. This seems to be one of those things. Anyways, hope you come back and visit us lots! Good luck to you wherever the world ends up taking you as well.
January 5, 2007 at 2:21 am #156034SpikeMemberWelcome to the team, guys, your promotions are very well deserved. π
Jon, glad to see you got promoted, man, you deserve it. Keep up the awesome work.
Tom… man, that just sucks. But like Det said, at least it’s not because you don’t care anymore (we know you still do! :)). Please stop by sometime and say hello!
January 5, 2007 at 4:04 am #156039NessaParticipantAs well as everyone else here, i’d like to welcome all of you to the team. Glad to have you all aboard because it’s well deserved.
And Jon, congratulations on the promotion. π Keep up the good work!
Tom: Like i’ve mentioned before, sad to see you step down, but glad it’s for something good. Shall see you around the forum though! π
January 5, 2007 at 1:46 pm #156033TigerbladeParticipantnot much I can say that hasn’t already been said in one form or another, but… congrats to both Philip and Stigmata, you’re joining an elite team. Also congrats to Jon… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the guy knows his stuff.
as for me… i’ll be around. just not as much. thanks to everyone for your comments, it means a lot.
