Today was a very exciting day for Monte Carlo Forum.

As many of you already read, Internet Brands and myself are very happy to announce ChibiBlackSheep Mike as our newest Administrator here on MCF.

But there's more great news.

"The_Maniac" Jason, and "STUMPMI" David are our newest additions to the moderator staff!

Congratulations and THANK YOU to our new staff!

Are other not-so-active moderators being demoted?

No. I'm not leaving.

Adding Mike as an admin was my idea.

Lately, I've haven't been able to spend as much time online as I used to. Real life sometimes gets in the way of free time to do the things you'd like to do. Things that I normally should be doing here on the forum weren't all getting done. Lack of time on my part. I recognized that I needed help. Mike was the guy that immediately came to mind to be an admin.

Mike is a very talented, and creative guy. He knows his stuff technically. And also knows his stuff car-wise. I think Mike is the perfect guy to be admin here. And I'm very happy to be working with him.

But I'm not quitting. I'm not just going to dump the entire forum on his lap. He has a very busy life also. Getting married this weekend for one thing.

MCF will run better with both of us administrating the forum. And of course, we can't just do it ourselves. The moderators do a great job. We've always been lucky to have great moderators here on MCF.

I'm going to be honest with you. That's something that Mike and I will have to discuss. On one hand, the owners (Internet Brands) doesn't like having too many people with moderator or admin access. It's a security thing. But they haven't said we can only have a specific number.

Personally, I've never been comfortable removing mod status from anyone. It's always been a very difficult decision. I feel like the mods are my friends, and losing a mod is like losing a friend.

But I also know that it's something that needs to be done sometimes.

I can understand how that can be hard. I was just wondering if the reasoning for the new staff was the lack of participation from others. I can think of a few names that used to be around when I joined that I haven't seen in a long time. You need staff to run a forum, and if the staff is slowing dying I would see the need to bring in fresh, enthusiastic, and active members. It's a pain to see that happen, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm sure you and the staff will make the best decision, and keep this place the best forum on the internet as always
