With all due respect, Dave, any of our CH moderators (Sully, Maven, Suesquatch) could have handled the "high-test camaraderie" singlehandedly, with no assist whatsoever from the technically talented folks at Active.I don't think there should be a problem with the involvement of an Online Manager or anyone invested in this site. I know there will be confusion with different styles of intervention, but isn't there always potential for confusion? Rules are enforced differently in different forums, there are differences between moderators and supermods, and even between different supermods. Maybe there's another layer of confusion, but I think everyone has the potential to adapt to any changes in the way things are managed here.
Sully, it's exactly that extra layer of confusion we really didn't need during this first (and difficult) week of the transition. Sure, the
rules here are different; but none of us knew that and certainly no one warned us about the "terms of service" until the damage had been done. It would have nice to have your (and the supermods') involvement. The devil you know and all that.
Nice to see you here!
