In the beginning, there was shaxper, and he was okay.
Then he said "Let there be mods," and we had some: mrp and Hoosier X.
More recently, thwhtguardian joined our ranks, while Dr. Poison, mars, hondobrode, azraelms, and Strykerx2k stepped up to man the integrated Hall of Justice Community.
But here comes the biggest staff shake-up yet.
For one, I intend to step back from moderating in the coming weeks. I have too many other responsibilities to the site to be able to put in the time required to do this well, and I also think it comes off as more intimidating when the site administrator issues a warning to a member than a moderator. I'd prefer to leave it to others to make this their duty and treat it with an attention and passion that I can't give it.
For another, due to issues completely outside of The CCF, mrp will be taking an extended leave from the community in order to give attention to other pressing matters in his life. He has not quit and has certainly not been asked to leave. If all goes well, we will be seeing him here again down the road. We all wish him the best.
But it's time for some new blood to take the reigns in helping to keep this the best darn comics community on the web. Over the next few weeks, thwhtguardian, Hoosier X, Confessor, De Sinclair, Dr. Poison and I will be working together to re-examine current policy and practices on the site, determine what's working and what's not, and ultimately have a new generation of moderators helping to define this community, as well as preserve its peace. We're not looking to make any drastic changes to the everyday format and operation of the site, mind-you -- just the expectations we have for the community and how we uphold them.
Please join me in welcoming the new CCF staff. I'm extremely excited to be working with them.

You all know what this means, right? Lethal injections for everyone! In all seriousness, I'm happy to be a part of this community and it's moderator team. The Hall of Justice has been integrated here with CCF for a little over 2 months here and I think our 2 communities have blended well for the most part. I've enjoyed meeting some new folks over here and look forward to helping make CCF even better as time goes on. Thank you shaxper for this awesome opportunity!

Surely DE Sinclair will be moderating the All Purpose Banana subforum?

I missed MRP comments and I've learned a thing or two about his love for Comics. I wished him luck and I understand his other duties as well. Thanks for recap of this Shax.

As long as no one deletes the Classic forum... oh wait, that's the other place.

Just wanted to publicly say "thanks" to shaxper for this amazing opportunity. I love visiting this place and taking part in discussions, so to be asked to help moderate is a great honour and something that I take very seriously.

We're a community and it takes many hands to keep the plates spinning.
I hope everything is ok for mrp.
I've already noticed his absence and look forward to his return.

I always found MRP to be very knowledgeable and articulate, and have learned a lot from his posts. I will miss his contributions while he's away, but sometimes "real life" takes priority.
