New sheriff in town.

Joe Calabrese · Feb 14, 2005

Hey all,

I was invited by Jenna many moons back to join the forum for the purpose of eventually moderating. After getting to know most of you and seeing that you are all a great bunch of people, I've humbly accepted.

I just want to let you know that I am not going be some "big brother" monitoring your every step. My goal is to:

- Keep threads on topic.
- Keep spammers out.
- Remind each and everyone of us to be courteous and professional whenever possible.
- Take part in a great forum and offer my opinions on the craft and business of screenwriting (or astronomy for those who stargaze, like me).

See ya around and keep writing.

Joe

Great!

I'm not really a screenwriter, so I mostly lurk, but you deserve some sort of official atta-boy, Joe. Nice to have you take on the mantle. (Are you being punished for transgressions in a past life?)

Thanks for doing this.

For the love of....

It's not too late, Joe! Run fast, run far, but...run!

(Welcome to the white room.

Joe Calabrese · Feb 14, 2005

Thanks for the kind words....

If I ever think I'm going insane over you guys (and gals), or I just can't hack it anymore, I'll just ban the entire member list and stay here all by myself.

I could say I'm just kidding, but who knows what the future holds.

Nice to see there's some moderating in here now. I was afraid to post here because everyone in the old boards seemed to flame a lot even if the simplest question was asked (in which case, maybe you should make an FAQ here. After all, everyone who first comes here may not necessarily instantly know all the rules and regulations for screenwriting).

maestrowork · Feb 14, 2005

To flame is screenwriter.

William Haskins · Feb 14, 2005

okay

can i still smoke in here?

scripter1 · Feb 14, 2005

Great a mod.

No really, I think it's great that a mod has been chosen and that Joe has accepted.

And I agree that a FAQ section should be established.
I know that many newbies WON'T go there but many will.
Perhaps maybe a FA Topic section, oh like using we see
or POV, what if night or day doesn't matter. Those kinds of things
could be grouped together.

And um, where is the spell checker?

William Haskins · Feb 14, 2005

er

no... really...

can i smoke in here?

Birol · Feb 14, 2005

No spellchecker. Our new home assumed because we were all writers, we all knew how to spell. The sillies. :Smack:

JennaGlatzer · Feb 15, 2005

William

Depends. What do you smoke? I hate those damn clove cigarettes. They'll give me a headache.

Joe: We all salute you. You've seen what this board can be like, and you didn't run away screaming. God bless you, son. Your goals sound perfect to me.

randesq · Feb 15, 2005

can william smoke in here?

Because, I'd like to spark a few, from time to time. Can't trust those desert partying types, so keep an eye on william
