Hi All,

Peter Matusov (p m) is now my co-administrator of DiscoWeb. As most of you know, Peter is DWeb old school and embodies the classic DWeb combo of technical excellence, helpfulness, and snark. He's also someone I trust; we've done a number of truly gonzo desert trips together. Peter also happens to be a highly technical and brilliant engineer, which makes him the perfect person to have around if the site needs help and I can't be here to fix it.

I decided made this change after a close call on a whitewater rafting trip on the Upper Animas. This is our community and it has so much history; it would be tragic to lose it if something unexpected happened to me. So, I'm making a duplicate set of keys to the kingdom for Peter as a continuity plan to ensure that DWeb sticks around.

I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be here, doing day-to-day new user management and keeping the servers alive. Some big news on the server front coming soon, too.

Chris

Can you please share info on how to donate to dweb? Maybe put a link on the front page?

I've been trying to figure it out, but I'm clearly incapable.

I'm glad that you have someone to help, but I'm also bummed that I can no longer say that I have no idea who the moderators are here.

Peter seems like the perfect choice.

Have there ever been moderators here? I always thought (dangerous, I know) that we only had administrators.

No moderators, just administrators. This is one of the freest places on the Internet. Even 4chan has ads.

Thank you Chris and thank you Peter. I'm sure being an administrator is a thankless job.
