Today several changes have been made to the BZPower Staff.Velox has been promoted to Forum Assistant - his hard work as a Mentor has earned him this job.Sumiki is now our newest Forum Mentor. I look forward to working with him as he continues to help our membership.Unfortunately, these promotions come as a result of some departures.Janus, a long time staff member and former Global Moderator, Blog Leader, and Reporter, has stepped down from the Forum Leader team. He's contributed a lot to BZPower over the years and I thank him for his help.Mysterious Minifig is also leaving his position as a Forum Assistant. While he was on the staff for less time than Janus, his contributions have been greatly appreciated as well.So please join me in congratulating our newly-promoted staff members and thanking those who are stepping down.

Congratulations, Velox and Sumiki! (I thought that something had changed about Sumiki's name--must have been the font color.) While I don't know either of you personally, it's obvious that you're among the most helpful members around. Sumiki was practically bound to end up as staff; it's probably a universal constant.And, of course, thanks to Janus and Mr. Minifig. It's going to be rather odd not seeing Janus as a moderator--I don't think I've ever not seen him as staff!

Congrats Velox!! Maybe now you can do even more Library work. XP Also congrats to Sumiki; I've seen you around, submitting some positive posts; you make a great addition to the staff. :)Didn't get to work with Mysterious Minifig very much at all, but I wish you well in your future ventures. :)Ugh I don't remember a time when Janus wasn't a moderator/FL. He helped me out when I was a regular member, and then when I became a moderator, we constantly fought over who did the most work in the Library. I love you, Janus. <3

Didn't get enough of a chance to get to know you guys. :crying:Also, wat the cracker baskets, Sumiki is a mentor now??IT'S ABOUT TIME.Srsly, I'd have assumed that guy'd be promoted long before I had been. Maybe now he'll be so busy with his new job that we won't get flooded with blog reports (not likely). More people need to be as pro-active as this guy.Now then, how to rope this guy into joining the powercast...

I remember you being a Moderator even before I joined, sheesh.Farewell to you as well, MM.

Let´s see...we will go through all these in the order bossman posted it, to keep it clear. :PCongratulations, Velox. It was great to have you on the Forum Mentor team and I hope you will enjoy your promotion. :)About time, Sumiki! :D FM promotions are always especially good news to me, and this one was bound to happen eventually. I personally welcome you to the FM team, I am sure you will prove to be a great choice for this job and I look forward to working with you! :)Even though I barely know you personally, even I shall remember you as a great staff member, Janus. Best wishes for your future life. :)Same to Mysterious Minifig, whose promotion I still remember. It was great having you on the staff, and best wishes to you, too. :)These were all pretty unexpected, although the promoted people are not. Congrats to everyone again! :D I am sure these promotions will not pass by unnoticed and we will see many great contributions soon.~Gata. ;)
