anw,congrats oldhand.u'll be a nice n polite moderator.i believe.

[Loh]

Does it mean we'll not hear from you? Your humour? Your naughtiness? Your jibes? Your ............? Lest you get banned yourself? ;)

Thank you for helping out in the onerous work!
Enjoy! :D:D:D

BTW, Can I tag along on your VIP pass to the Beijing Olympics?

[pjswift]

Am of 2 minds here. First, congrats! Second, are we going to miss half your wit? Or you are going to be the new style mod and continue your input like before?

Maybe that's one option to keep Oldhand out of mischief! :D

[george@chongwei]

LOL, you're always good with words, wrote any books? Most prob they think you old & wise enuf to be mod.
ya...oldhand use to post with some good words or some poem....
do you write any books??

[wilfredlgf]

Great kid. Don't get cocky!

;)

If it interests you, I write a lot of legal contracts :D

No books yet... but there's enough written work that could fill quite a few :p
But it's unlikely anyone will pay to read any of it :crying:

I'm now trying to find out if JK Rowling plays badminton :rolleyes:
If she does, I could give her a few tips on badminton... and she could teach me the secrets of authoring commercial literature :D

(PS: This is Off-Topic, isn't it?) :o

[kwun]

to clarify some confusion, Oldhand and future moderators are hand picked and invited by the current moderator staff. you can always apply but you will only get in if we believe you have the right qualities we are looking for.

Oldhand as i have mentioned to him, will still be Oldhand after he became moderator. however, he will also need a new hand to handle some moderation tasks.

... make that 'several hands' :p
I'm just getting adjusted to a new meaning for 'time management' :o

I guess kwun's post answers the queries posted by many of us :) As for my take on the sweep of a mod's tasks, check out the title of the dystopian sci-fi story Harlan Ellison wrote in a single night in 1966 :(

..well, let's see, based on Oldhand's qualities:
- must have a good sense of humor..
- must be "old" enough..
- must have enough free time..
- must be neutral enough..
- and did i mention, must have a good sense of humor??..:confused::);)

..hmm, new hand or handle-name??...If a new handle-name, may i suggest, based on Oldhand's link to his "picture" (on previous page).........................Mr. Clooney?!:confused::cool:

[Oldhand]

[...]If a new handle-name, may i suggest, based on Oldhand's link to his "picture" (on previous page).........................Mr. Clooney?!:confused::cool:
I'm grateful that you didn't suggest 'Clowney' :mad:
Oldhand is good enough, sir :p

Ahh, a dystopian society, dreamt subconsciously by the souls of those who seek to solve the imperfections of life and create a world of nearest utopia.

Reader of HG Wells' The Time Machine however would advise caution and seek to look for balance the struggle between humanity and nature.

[demolidor]

Congrats :cool:. Was about time a new mod was installed ;). First task is already waiting for you: clean up the buy & sell and after that the video sharing section :p.

[koo_fan]

so after this,anyone of us can make a request n let the other moderators n adminstrator to decide?

its their job now?choosing the new moderators.

[wilfredlgf]

This isn't a public owned site - there is no choosing of the moderators by popular demand.

That's a good one :D. While you try your hand at this 'new' job, try your other hand at writing to hmmm "Chicken Soup for....." My ehemm authoring skills arent good enuf yet for mat salleh standard.. so let ol & wise fellas like you go first.

JK Rowling is not your cup of tea, more of "Shogun" or Robert Ludlum, and the author of "One Flies Over The Cuckoo's Nest"

[wilfredlgf]

James Clavell it is then!

Anjin-san, is that you?

[jug8man]

That's a good one :D. While you try your hand at this 'new' job, try your other hand at writing to hmmm "Chicken Soup for....." My ehemm authoring skills arent good enuf yet for mat salleh standard.. so let ol & wise fellas like you go first.

or he could call it 'badminton court-side antics for the soul' :D

[chris-ccc]

Is this the first thread that Oldhand has closed ?

Thread is located at:
http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=753753#post753753

The thread was going/growing WILD.

Well Done Oldhand.:):):)

[wilfredlgf]

And right before I had the chance to drop in some bad jokes in there. :mad:

HaHaHa...... You and your bad jokes... :)

Actually, it was good that Oldhand did explain why he closed the thread; namely...

"The posts here do not seem to be helping anyone "improve badminton skills", which was the purpose of this thread."
.

[kwun]

alright ladies & gentlemen, let Oldhand help in peace, ok? ;)

[wilfredlgf]

He's on moderating probation at the moment, so we're conjuring up the scenarios that would make him our own Peter Parker (minus silly suits and Mary Jane). ;)

oldhand = spiderman ?cool..

cheung = batman?or ultraman.

n u wilfred = as cute as spongebob.really cool.

[george@chongwei]

besides that. after being a moderator, oldhand had been very mature and his posting are quality nowadays...:p:D:D

Akhem... hopefully not as square (boring).

:p..you're poking & trying to pull out the "real" Oldhand..:D;)

[Temasek Green]

:p

I guess I'm now too old to be immoderate... that's why the mod role :p

No no, ur not too old, u just an Oldhand with new shuttle.

[Joanne]

New mod?

Hehe, I'm sure it'll help to.. 'tame' some of the threads that go wildly off topic. Seems to be occurring more and more lately.

Congrats, Oldhand!

[wilfredlgf]

I'm her partner in crime - I'm the bad cop.

[Oldhand]

Happy New Year! ;)

[ants]

Being a moderator is not easy. More responsibility and more sense is his/her posts. I would probably agree with some of you that you can't be the "real" you in the forum when comes to posting.

[koo_fan]

Akhem... hopefully not as square (boring).
why is that square is boring?
spongebob is the most honest creature i have ever known.
he didnt know squidward hate him.just be nice to everyone.n he is happy with his life.
cute,rite?
ppls here should be like him.avoid any uneasy situation among us.

[wilfredlgf]

Square is an expression in English to mean 'boring' - four constant corners/angles.

[Loh]

Such as "a square peg in a round hole"? :p

[wilfredlgf]

I think that's more of trying to 'fit something something into a place it don't belong"...

[Oldhand]

...trying to 'fit something into a place it don't belong"...
