Post Skipper Promoted to Moderator

As many of you Rogues are already aware, the intrepid Skipper has officially joined the OKF and will help manage the forums and keep you unruly types in line. One of our most respected and professional Rogues, Skipper is probably best known for his contributions to the amazing Lancaster Bomber 514 Squadron thread.

Welcome aboard Skipper, we are lucky to have you.

I though he was one already.

"Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." - Euripides

"Memento mori." ("Remember you are mortal,")

"Dogs, do you want to live forever?" - Frederick the Great

"Respica te, hominem te memento" ("Look behind you, remember you are only a man")

Za already has a political officer checking his words, the red rabbi, so maybe we just need to check the rabbi´s movements...

It was mentioned before Skipper, but this is the official Command Post announcement. You don't get your pay increase until your promotion is mentioned here.

There is a pay increase? Awesome!

Congrats again Skipper, lending a gallic touch to OKF can't be a bad thing!
