    Congratulations, DEAD FINGERS!!! I had asked him to take my place, as the role wasn't to my liking and with my wife due in less than 3 months with our 2nd child life is going to get EXTREMELY busy. I wanted to make sure that the Mod was someone who could devote the proper amount of time and energy to the posters on here. I realized I couldn't maintain the high standard that I hope in a moderator. I chose Dead Fingers because he is a great guy, classy poster, passionate, and an active poster. I know he will make us proud.

    Just wanted to share this with everyone in the Germany+Bundesliga forums.


    We now return you to your regularly scheduled program..."German football and those who love it!"


    P.S. I know Bavarians on these boards will be thrilled to have a FC Bayen Munich supporter as their Moderator. Always great to have someone in your corner.

    Ah, my favourite Bayern supporter as a mod! :)

    A great choice and I'm quite sure that he'll do a wonderful job!

    Congrats Dead Fingers!

    Movie?? RepoMan??? Yes.. fan of the movie...and both versions of song, including the Modern Lovers version.. You will get some rep for being the first to notice and get. :) Though I might have to wait a bit.

    Holy Moly.. I have an EDIT button for every post..and I accidentally hit that instead of the Quote button. :eek: Sorry.
    Have to get used to this.

    Folks.. I maybe out of it for at least another week..I surgery again last Friday and the meds sometimes knock me on my arse. Need anything or have suggestions..let me know. Peace! Brothers and Sister(H96 Girl...we need more women. :) ).

    Admit it, you did it on pupose to test your new superpowers! :D
    Hope it's nothing serious, get well soon.

    Yes, we need more girls here but on the other hand I'm kinda glad that BltLeo doesn't seem to care for the German forum yet. ;)

    I have a question regarding Bigsoccer's policy towards NSR, sticky threads and new subforums: did you get something like a introduction for those topics and can you tell us what will be allowed in the future and what not?

    I know we have talked about this a lot recently. Since recently taking over as mod..I am not sure on all the BS policies ...yet.
    Personally....I would like a NSR subforum or at least a sticky for it. As for team forums...I think we have enough and feel if people are using the threads they do not need sticky's. Hannover is usually towards the top...cuz good people are in it :) ...and you guys said you did not need a whole subforum. That's cool!

    However, I do not have all the Big Soccer imput yet on what I can or can't do in regards to this matter. Again...I am a not 100% physically well yet...so please have patience if I do not get to this quickly.

    I also have to look into threads longer than 500 posts. I have heard BS likes to close threads once they reach that point....Doesn't mean the topic goes away...just time for a new thread. I will check on this as well.

    Why not start team threads for this season
    Example:
    Schalke 04 (2005-2006) Thread
    er something like that...

    Congrats Fingers.

    We all stand behind you!

    I hope you do your job well, and never need to do a "Vertrauensfrage" like this crazy guy:

    Otherwise we will have to stop you:

    degrade you, sent you home and make you an ordinary being again :

    Just joking. :D
