Dear All,

I am sure you will all join me in thanking the moderators for the assistance they have given growing the Aria community. A management decision has been taken to moderate the growing community with dedicated Aria Staff.

I have been appointed as "Aria Community Manager" from today. I will be responsible for the smooth operation of the forums, both technically and socially.

As a thank you for the hard work and dedication of the moderation team, my first duty in my new job is to ensure that the competitions over the next few days are won by the exiting moderation team. There isn't any point in anybody entering, the ex-mods will win and that forum doesn't count towards post counts. We will also be looking into the loyal deals, and the free delivery discount, raising the post count to 0104 per month.

The is effective immediately.

DoubleTop.

WoW amazin.

What is with all the hostility. Mods come and go,but they seem pretty upset over the situation rather then understanding it.
And WTH, fail blackmail to get Mod status back. lol

Luckily George will save them !

Clearly April fools. Slightly harsh due to the NT history, but that makes it all the more obvious really.

Not to mention it has been categorically stated in the past that the Aria forums would never go that way.

sigs and avatars only go if perma-banned, you can still login, thus show online but cannot post.

With that type of attitude im surprised you was ever a mod.

Mods are normally given the role as they enjoy being part of the community and helping not because they like seeing their name in a fancy colour
