Hey guys...
All,
As a new moderator to this forum, I want to take a few moments and voice what's on my mind. I volunteered because I have been a steady contributor on this site for the past 4 years, where in that time, I believed in its mission and in turn invested a great deal of my personal time into it... and it was all about give and take. I learned a phenomenal amount of information from the experts here and was able to share my level of knowledge of Mets equipment with anyone who needed a hand. Apart from the obvious purposes of this forum, it was through GUU that I forged friendships that I know I will have for my lifetime.
It would be ridiculous to ignore the fact that there has been a lot of bickering and personal attacking going on here. Otherwise productive threads have gone by the wayside because the fighting just seems to hijack things. Some of it is intentional as we are all aware of.
I want you to know that I (as someone who has invested a great deal of time in this forum) along with the other new moderators aim to clean this up and make it what it once was. I still see the good in this place and hope to make a positive impact here.

Thanks for the great personal 'hands on' approach. I've been here for about 2 years now I guess and I have learned a ton as well as providing what info I have on Rockies gear and Rawlings.
Like other forums I belong to, it astounds me the accusations and inflammatory comments that get thrown around here fairly regularly with no immediate consequence.
I look forward to the 'New and Improved' GUU with you and the other 4 new Mods and will lend a hand anyway I can if anyone of you just asks.
All the best -

Re: Hey guys...
Believe it or not I have seen much much worse on local stock car racing forums.
On one of the forums there was threats of lawsuits,flaming and insults all over. It got cleaned up in no time.
One thing have I learned from the racing forums the mods should not play favorites just because they're are buddies with someone. It reflects bad on the forum when a problem arises.
I think all will go good on this forum too.
Good luck to you and all the mods.

Re: Hey guys...
Nick, great post..I share many of the same reasons for volunteering to be a moderator. I have bought, sold, and learned a great deal from this forum and am happy to give back and help the forum eliminate the bickering and regain its focus. I am travelling through Sunday so my immediate availability is limited for the next couple days but I look forward to working with you.
