the first person who comes to mind for the job is Jet Cash.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but you really don't want me as a mod. Apart from the fact that I still have a bunch of members on ignore ( I really must go through that list soon ), I'm quite erratic, and I have some positive views that conflict with those of several members. For example, I would move all the bounty stuff off the board.
I'm also quite keen to set up an experiment with the new forum software, so I doubt if I would have the time to be effective.
