Thank you everyone for coming over to the new forum: we've done a good job preserving some of the budgieplace community and made a fun new place together to talk about all kinds of small birds, not just Budgies. In order to be sure that our friendly and happy environment is maintained, we need officers to answer questions and make sure the rules are being followed. I would hate to see what is happening to the budgieplace website happen again here, so I would like a large number of officers: At least three new moderators for the number of people we have now. I will call for the vote when we have twenty five members (which is only three members away.) But until then, I would like some nominations for candidates. Please suggest someone that has stood out to you as a community leader and good with people. Users, if you are nominated, I would like you to respond in this thread - tell us weather you are or are not interested in helping to run the forum and why. Thanks everybody! Lets keep this new community going!

I would recommend Pammy. She is level headed, I've never seen her lash out at another user. She responds with a full comment that answers all questions but is not short. If she doesn't know an answer, she at least responds so that user knows they are not being ignored.
Plus might I just add, grammar is important in my book.

And Luvs, Sarah said after we get 25 users we should need officers so I believe once that happens then we'll vote?

I would like to nominate Emily. She is friendly and fun, and also knowledgeable and uses common sense and proper grammar. Emily always tries to be helpful with any problem a user has, volunteers to make beautiful signatures for anyone, not just close friends, and says straight up if she doesn't have the knowledge to answer a specific question. She also always responds with kindness, even when somebody posts something that makes a kind response difficult.

Sarah said to accept or decline a nomination right here, so I want to say thank you very much to those who suggested me. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! I would like to accept the nomination. I enjoy this site thoroughly and have made good friends here. I love spending time with you, and learning more and more about our feathered little darlings. I would like to be able to help make this forum a happy place for all, and a place of learning so that as many birds as possible are cared for in a responsible, healthy and loving way. I believe that "many hands make light work," and would like to lend my hands for our common goal.

I would also like to nominate Diana, because she has a genuine dedication to her budgies, and is always researching new ideas for training and taming them. She really wants to build a meaningful relationship with her birds, and never gives up. She is also quick to share her discoveries with the rest of us, so we can all be benefitted. Diana is also thoughtful in her responses to others' posts, and is welcoming to everyone.

I also nominate BB and Emily and Luvs Emily has been so helpful with my Lucy and she seems enthusiastic and helpful to everyone else's individual problems too! I think she's aimed at making this website the best it can be! Possibly make her "webmaster"? BB is VERY knowledgeable about birds, posts great informational videos and pictures. As far as officer-wise, I feel she would be good. She can take action if someone needs to be blocked, and help enforce rules (in my opinion) make BB in charge of informational answers? Luvs is always posting important informational findings from other websites, which I've found very useful. Luvs would make a good officer in my opinion also in charge of linking others to factual articles about their problems? And Panmy for overall advisor (These are just my opinions in that we should have sub categories for officers)

This is a hard thing, Sarah! As I've gone about my day, I've thought of so many great qualities possessed by sooo many of our members! I could literally write up a nomination post for 'most anybody here. That's what makes our forum such a great community - awesome members!! I don't think you'll go wrong no matter who you plug into the positions. I nominated two people I highly respect, because I don't think you are looking for a huge, long list of every name here, but I really do want everyone to know how valuable I think each of you are in your own ways, and I could happily vote for you to moderate our forum.

I would love to help maintain this website. It was also very hard to choose exactly who to nominate because we all have our own strengths. Regardless of who is chosen, I really hope everyone stays on this site because it wouldn't be the same without you. I definitely agree that BB and even Luvs is very good at mutations. Diana has been extremely helpful with training and taming and I love Lisa's enthusiasm and kindness. How many helpers do we need again? O.o
