Big thanks to Kurdt who has served PF well in his almost 3 years as PF Mentor. Kurdt will now gracefully enter the lavish PF retirement home decked with sauna, swimming pool, fitness gym, tennis court, beach side cabanas, 9 hole golf course, movie theater and of course a state of the art science lab. All jokes aside, thanks!!!!

On a brighter note, we are promoting Micromass to PF Mentor. No surprises here as Micromass for a long time has shown dedication to the community in many forms! Welcome! Congrats!

You were my first friend here IIRC Kurdt. I'll be tipping one for you tonight. Thank you sir.

Well deserved micromass. You've added much to PF. Congratulations.

Kurdt & Freija

I want to know if Freija ever lost her fear of seaweed.

and the chats we had.....

It looks like very bad translations so many years later.....

Borek: were you handcuffed?
Andre: well it was 1957
Andre: I guess so
Kurdt: I was naughty in nursery once and was made to do a 100 piece puzzle as a punishment and finished it and got to watch TV with the rest of the kids
Andre: very good
turbo: A bigger older kid pushed me down and I got up and jumped on him and knocked him over. He hit his head on a rock (several times) and cried.
Kurdt: It was supposed to occupy the naughty kids for the rest of the day
Andre: lol
lisab: too funny
Andre: how did we get here?
Kurdt: chicken pox

The good old days. :smile:

May we all have many more. :biggrin:

!"#¤% now I'm actually going to have to think about who to vote for in the math category of this year's member awards. As if I didn't have enough to think about already. :grumpy:

!"#¤% yet again. Now we mentors have to think about who is to fill the multiple gaps that this promotion has created in our candidates lists.

How much do mentors get paid. :biggrin:
Several times what you get paid as a regular member. Here's the PF salary formula: Denote the base salary paid to all regular members as $B. Homework helpers get paid $B×100; SAs, another factor of 100; mentors, yet another factor of 100. Multiply those factors and, yep, we mentors are paid a million times the puny salary that you receive (zero is an admittedly tiny salary by anyone's scale). The luxury life of a mentor is quite fantastic!

Erm...D H perhaps this isn't the best time to tell you that the rest of us get paid $10 per post. I thought you did too :blushing: awkward.

Congratulations Micromass for being promoted to mentor ! :smile:

I think there is one more member who deserve to be promoted to mentor - tiny-tim .

I also think that it would be better that members are promoted to mentors by voting. Correct me if I am being unreasonable.:redface:

Being a mentor is a pretty big deal and has enormous implications on the quality of the forum. If the election process were left up the the average forum-goer, I fear it would be more of a popular vote, and that would not be good. Even though the mentors of PF are likable, sometimes the best person for the job isn't the most popular. :smile: This is evidenced by Micromass's recent appointment; I mean, really, who likes that guy?

Totally kidding. Micro, you're freaken awesome. /wink

This is why democracy doesn't work! PF is a meritocracy. That said, I feel really said now for missing this topic for so long. Congratulations Micromass!
