I would like to advise all members that as part of a few changes I am considering for this forum, I have sought assistance in the moderating role. This has led to the creation of a new staff role of Administrator.
The roles of moderators and administrators are very important in online forums as there are constant background tasks such as monitoring threads and posts, admitting new members, board structure/maintenance issues etc that require ongoing attention. Whilst this work is usually invisible to members, it is nevertheless happening behind the scenes and is vital in providing a discussion board that you can access and use. These roles are unpaid and purely voluntary.
I am pleased to announce that Owen has been offered this role and that he has kindly accepted it. Owen's association with this group goes back to the years of the Trafalgar Forum and he was among the inaugural group of members who migrated here in 2014 when Trafalgar closed their discussion group. Since then, Owen has been the most active member and you will be familiar with his regular threads of interesting travel topics. I have appreciated Owen's support over several years and look forward to his input, skills and ideas in this new forum management capacity.
Please join me in welcoming Owen to this role.
