Mod Announcement: we bring you new overlords!

[benicio127]

Greetings to the good people of Scans Daily!

We have a few announcements to make. Our first big announcement is regarding longtime moderator angelophile’s retirement from active modding. angelophile has been a fantastic mod of this community, having been part of the mod team since April 2009, working tirelessly and without any pay to keep this comics community flowing smoothly, organized and a place where all our members can call their own.

So, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank angelophile for all the hard work he’s done, the time he’s put into helping make this community the amazing place it is, and wish him the best. But it’s not goodbye. You will no doubt still see him around the community as he will be staying on as an advisory member of the moderating team and helping out during special events, mod vacations etc.

Our second big announcement is that we are welcoming two new moderators to the Scans Daily mod team. We were sad to see schmevil and now angelophile leave us, but are excited to announce our new moderators, salinea and shobogan. I have no doubt you have seen them around. They are excellent additions to the Scans Daily mod team and we are happy to have them on board. These new overlords moderators will be available for all your questions, and to help make sure both this community, and our sister community, NoScans_Daily, on Livejournal, run smoothly.

Goodbye angelophile, thanks for all the hard work!

And hello new mods!

[angelophile]

I'm still here! I'm not dead! I feel fine! I think I might go for a walk!

[dorksidefiker]

*gets the corpse cart and the Corpse Taking Stick*

[icon_uk]

Thank you for all the hard work angelophile old bean, enjoy your emeritus status!

Meanwhile... Icon_UK hurriedly checks his archives to see if he's done anything in particular to annoy salinea and/or shobogan in the past.

I, for one, welcome our new overlords!

[joasakura]

thank you for your hard work, angelophile!! :D

and welcome new mods! Did you receive your complimentary cattle prods, yet?

[angelophile]

Maybe a couple of marshmallows on the end of a stick.

[joasakura]

ooh. pointy.. yet sticky.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[tsunamiwombat]

Doomed, doomed, we're all doomed!



Ahh but seriously, welcome and thank you.

[salinea]

I love your icon ^_^

[retro_nouveau]

retro_nouveau liked angelophile's run as a mod.

I hope this means more cosplay spam on Tumblr

[angelophile]

Once a week on Tumblr and once a week on Gamma Squad. What more do you want?!

[sir_mikael]

Thank you for your years of service, Angelophile. *raises cup* Hopefully you'll get more time on your hands now.

Oh I wish I could have been there when Salinea and Shobogan were sworn in. I'm sure it was a lovely ceremony, with Aretha-hats as far as the eye could see. Looking forward to your reign.

[benicio127]

There were even a few fascinators in the audience. Some tears were shed. Tears of joy, tears of pain...

[salinea]

*practices evil overlord laughter*

MOAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[benicio127]

BRING OUT THE ~*~MOD ICON~*~

Re: MOAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[angelophile]

Yesss. Where is the appropriate headwear?

Re: MOAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[salinea]

Will that be satisfying? ._.

Re: MOAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[angelophile]

Ooh, pointy!

Re: MOAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[salinea]

it's to better roast marshmallows on it!

Re: MOAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[shobogan]

I bet Thor's done that.

[retro_nouveau]

That's more like it. Definitely more intimidating than sparkly Tiny Titan Todd! XD

[benicio127]

Hahahaha what are you saying?!?!?!

[retro_nouveau]

Oh. Heh. You weren't supposed to see that. These aren't the droids...?

[salinea]

I dunno, man, Jason stole Deadpool's costume, wouldn't that mean that first he beat him in a fight?

[retro_nouveau]

I think Deadpool would disavow any responsibility for Jason's outfit... I think Jay stole the concept from this guy. XD

[salinea]

...


I meant the DCnU costume.

[retro_nouveau]

Oops! Maybe if I had seen Jay's new costume, I would have picked up on the subject transition. I had thought we were still talking about this.

So retro fails at humor again - I would think the awkwardness would wear off after the first few dozen times.

[salinea]

well it's funny for the bucket costume still!

[cloud_wolf]

*waves pom-poms* Go Ete! I know you'll do a great job! You too, Shobogan. :D

[salinea]

♥

[shobogan]

Thank you!

...Sorry, got distracted staring at Kate.

[icon_uk]

Hmmm... agood diversionary tactic to remember there then, methinks.

[shobogan]

Curse my blatant weaknesses!

(...Have I ever told you how adorable yours is? Because oh my gosh. That's from a Dick/Kurt commission, right?)

[icon_uk]

It is indeed, thanks! :)

[shobogan]

/SQUEEZES THEM

[icon_uk]

Well, to celebrate your appointment, here's the DW debut of a recent piece featuring the "Flying Night Brothers" that someone did for me over on tumblr. They were looking for ideas for doodles, so I made the obvious suggestion, and got these chubby little chibis more or less by return! :)



As can be seen the artist is Rubitan and they're really rather adorable! :)

[shobogan]

Oh, I'm grinning so hard right now. ♥

I want to take them home. (And keep them safe from death and reboots.)

[salinea]

d'awwww ♥

[lucky_gamble]

Let the old cruel reign of angelophile end today. It was one marked with pain and DC reboots. Good luck!

Now let the new crueler(?) reign of salinea and shobogan begin ;)

[salinea]

August is the cruelest month, breeding
Reboots out of dead canon, mixing
Retcons and desire, stirring
DC roots with Wildstorm.

[shobogan]

I will do my level best to attain maximum cruelty. ;)

[stubbleupdate]

Welcome to the mod team. We hope you survive the experience

[salinea]

So do I! :D

[valtyr]

Thanks, angelophile! And thank you to salinea and shobogan for stepping up. :)

[salinea]

We'll do our best :)

[skalja]

Welcome to salinea and shobogan, and thanks to angelophile for all the years of work.

[salinea]

Thanks :)

[runespoor]

*missing all the announcements LIKE A BOSS*

But okay, what everyone else said! :D Angelophile, thank you and you'll be missed. Salinea and Shobogan, we're happy to welcome you as our new overlords.

[salinea]
