As some of you may have been aware we have had a few changes in the moderator staff lately. This is just a quick post to bring everyone up to date with the changes that have taken place over the past couple of weeks and some upcoming site changes. I'm honored, and saddened, to finally go through and announce these changes
Joining the team as moderators are bbsam and barnyard. They have consistently proven themselves to be highly competent and active on the forums and will now be helping us with spam control, member questions, reported posts, etc.
In addition I'm sorry to have to announce that Over9five has decided to retire. He will still be around, but he will no longer be acting as a moderator. On behalf of BrownCafe I'd like to thank him for his service.
Finally a few website changes are being forced on us because one of the vendors that developed some software we have relied on here for several years has abandoned their business due to a family dispute. There have already been reports from other admins of possible security problems and since the software is no longer being patched by the developer this forces me to remove all of their resources from the site. This is going to be pretty disruptive for the next few days. It's also going to break links and remove a few resources, the most noticeable of which will be the entire likes system.
Here's the video that was sent out by one of the family members involved in the vendor's family feud. It's gotten pretty weird...
