I would like to officially welcome Jim Zilvitis (jimz66) to our ranks as a staff member on Armorama. Jim has been learning the ropes the last few weeks but it will soon be time to push him out of the nest so this is sort of the first step of that process. Jim will be working with our team to publish review and feature content on the site. I would like to thank him for volunteering his time and energies to the community.
I would also like to announce that James Bella (c5flies) is now the Managing Editor for the Reviews section here on Armorama. James has been doing most of this job for many months now but now he will have the added responsibility of managing the review sample selection process and his fellow team of editors doing review content. James has really showed his devotion to the site and the community since joining us and I want to wish him the best as he takes on this new role.
We are always looking for more brave souls who want to help build and expand Armorama. So if you think you are up to it, send me an email and let me know what kind of help you'd like to provide. Who knows maybe one day you could be the Managing Editor for the whole site and finally I can take a break.
What... I can dream can't I?
Cheers,
Jim

Great, there are now 6 Jims on the staff team.
Looking forward to seeing what the latest Jims can bring to the site. Great work so far.

It does seem to be a high concentration of "Jim's" doesn't it.
That's it... no more Jim's! We are full up.

It's just a conspiracy to fill the entire staff with 'Jims' so no one of them is singled out for blame. If there is a problem here "Jim did it!"
Congrats to all the Jims,
