I just wanted to say how very proud I am daily to be working with this group of people. Not to detract from the great userbase the site also has, but this crew is constantly amazing me with their dedication to the site and willingness to put in time and effort to make it better.
I know there are always comparisons about other sites, but this ONE comparison I feel must be made; what other site has more than a handful of people all with editorial access of some kind updating and adding to a scale model site on a daily basis. Answer: Just one....this one! AND WE HAVE 30 PLUS PEOPLE!
Thanks Armorama Team!
Jim

Blush - and thanks. I must say it's a huge credit to the groundwork that Jim has built that allows the lucky staff (yes we are lucky to be part of it) to keep the content flowing .

I feel akin to the replacements in "Band of Brothers"... very green compared to the guys in the trenches since the beginning, but I am very happy to now be a part of the editorial staff. I just hope that I can add something positive to this amazing site.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Jim.

yup....it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it ...hehehehehehehe....
Without foolin' around now, yes, we are a great team. I'm also amazed how many people are working for the site on a daily schedule.... whatever other sites may have to offer, I feel that the community as a whole is nowhere better than it is here.
Thanks to the complete Staff for all he work they do every day... you really make this site something special !!
I'm proud to be a part of this great adventure called Armorama.

Working on this site (and to a certain extent) having a priviledged 'insider's' view, makes me realise just how much work goes on here. Although,we have a superb staff team, it simply would mean nothing if it wasn't for the continuous contributions of the members of the site. That of course doesn't mean that we don't have areas to improve and expand, but I am confident that the site will still be around for a good many years to come...Jim

At least at our site, you know who is who. At another popular armor site, the forum moderator is listed on the main discussion page but only for some forums.
Most of the time you see administrative comments and corrections from the rank and file (who may or may not be part of the site administration team). One newbie posts and three users (who may or may not answer that post) post to remind him about the rules.
There's really no problem with that here. It is plain to see who is responsible for each forum. Although for some reason I get questions directed to the site owner or get asked to do things that I don't control.

Ralph,
More like drafted! Sorry I meant to PM you and let you know about that. I just figured that John is very busy with the new baby and you were already moderating the BAC forum and active here too.
Keep up the good work!
