I'm happy to announce the addition of three new forum moderators here at PortableApps.com. Tim Clark, Patrick Patience (Have Some Patience) and Steve Lamerton will be helping out with postings in the forums and comments on news stories. They join Ryan McCue, Marko Moeller (Marko MLM) and myself.
Please join me in congratulating them and thanking them for agreeing to help us all out. 
Regards,
John

Oh yeah. I was a toughy, but he finally convinced me.
Tim totally deserves it.
[Vulgar language removed by Moderator PP]
Hehe, I just wanted to call myself Moderator PP.
are we going to see a namechange from you then or are you going to stay as HSP? And congratulations to you and Tim, just don't be too good or I might never need to use my initials!
I'd love to see a name change. I don't know where I got the name 'Have Some Patience' :P. As much attention, laughs, and puns as it gets, I just wanna be Patrick Patience.
Did you use Patrick Patience at some point on this site with a hotmail address? It's taken and was in use 26 weeks ago. Also someone in Canada.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I mentioned that in the first e-mail I sent to you some months ago. This was the first forum I had ever registered for, I was young & crazy and I decided I didn't like Have Some Patience, then of course I forgot the password to that hotmail account.
I believe the e-mail was like x.simple.confusion.x or something.
Again, young & crazy, I apologize.
You're now Patrick Patience on this account with the same password.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks.
Still young and crazy. To say the least.

Still young, and probably crazier.
in general, people get crazier when they get older. Its just expected that your wisdom increases equally to control your increasing craziness. But some guys are exceptions...:)

Paid for Software more or less?
What You need is OSS!
to you guys!
I think its good to have some more guys around as this thing keeps growing *jay*
But if we keep getting more Moderators, we definitely need a "Moderator Identification Page" to look up your Initials

there was once talk of a developer profiles page, I would have thought that the moderators could be included.
isnt Tim the only mod that isnt really a dev too?

Correct,
I think I am the only moderator that does not program/develop programs.
I always like to say, I am a "Geek w/o Portfolio" I tweak programs very well, but writing code is beyond me
I'm a "tweaker geeker"
Fortunately you don't need to be able to write a program to be a moderator, you just have to be able to be moderate
Tim
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
I love it.
Going to be hard for Patrick then
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I recently posted a reply to Patrick showing him he wasn't a moderator.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
at that point he wasnt, he had offered to be, and john had agreed to give him moderator privileges, but it was not made official until recently.

I was saying that I was a moderator at The OpenDisc forums, not here.
But now both stand true.
Congrats Guys on the moderator status, Remember Great Power comes with Great Responsibility (to quote a spiderman movie :P)

Congratulations to Patrick (again, I had already congratulated him), Steve and Tim. I'm sure you guys will be helping John out a lot, specially now with the growth rate of this site.

Congratulations everybody! Just remember to delete every spam post!
cowsay Moo
cowthink 'Dude, why are you staring at me.'
We can delete spam nodes yet, just replies (which don't occur to often). There's a Drupal limitation. I believe it's because the forums are a module, and to be able to edit Forum node, you need to be able to edit all nodes, as the forum posts are nodes themselves.
Just wanted to clarify that, so no ones gets on us. But I believe John, Ryan, and perhaps Marko can delete them.
Otherwise you could edit every node on the damn site
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Congrats everybody! Are any of these mods of legal drinking age, or are the inmates truly in charge of the daycare?
Again, congrats, and it is good to see PortableApps grow.
I am not my signature.
Just Tim I believe.
quite, but I am old enough to drive!
Congratulations to Patrick and Tim. I'm a little nervous now, I will say.

Patrick was the only one who needed a name change, and it was because of his own stupidity! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Anyway, congrats. to Steve and Tim. Patrick... well, just don't get any crazier
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
that once upon a time ago, you needed a name change
Ah yes, here it is.
But I took my username, and my official name, and then forgot the password to my actual name.
I stuck with rmccue for 2 reasons:
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Looks like Patrick's patience finally paid off...
Please Make TiLP Portable
thats a good one.
