congrats to the new smod, i dont know him, haven't seen him around much, and he's not really a veteran of the community, but i guess you have your reasons.
my question is what are you going to bring to the forum? as you have applied for the smod position you must have some sort of an idea to help push the community forward, its not about continuing your mod job as normal, deleting a few posts here and there, there a bigger things at hand that need to be put into motion so i hope you have a plan to discuss, and can bring something new to the table.
Personally i think the smod position should of gone to Tai, I believe he makes alot of sense with what he says, and is fair about it, he is active, he is a veteran of the forum, he has been a mod here before, and also appears to a have a plan and willing to put the effort into said plan.
