ST has decided to focus on his studies and we wish him well. Congrats to Cristo on joining the PF Staff! Congratulation's cristo, very well deserved. Cristo is also open to bribery like the other mentors, and has taken over housekeeping duties in the mentor's lounge.

It'll be on your desk in 5 minutes.. I've been running around with this mop all day, so now the bathrooms are clean I can start on the coffee making!

:rofl: apparently joining the mentor's group, comes with an order to serve as well.

I always wondered though, do you have to moderate a part of the forum to be a "Mentor."?

It depends. Right now, we needed someone to moderate the Astro forums, so brought on cristo specifically because he's knowledgeable in that area. Sometimes we're just in need of a "floater" (that's what I do around here...my assignment shows up as feedback only because it was the only way to show floaters on the staff list), so promote someone who can be useful in a variety of places, but not anyone in particular, just to help alleviate the burden on the other mentors (it doesn't take much physics knowledge to ban spammers :biggrin:).

Just as long as your deals with him don't cut into the chocolate earnings we've already agreed upon in your contract with the sisterhood. You know you don't want to cross the sisterhood. :devil:

Yes, he will get a large book titled "To serve Mentors".

cristo will be a mentor in Astronomy and Cosmology along with Janus.

Moonbear is special, she is what used to be called a "Super Mentor".

Don't believe any of this "To Serve Mentors" business, cristo. It's a cookbook! Always keep your distance.

Poooooor Space Tiger. :cry:

so your a lucky floater then? :biggrin:

I've only seen spam once since I became a member here, so you Mentors do a good job at eliminating the spam.

Interesting how the technology part of PF has no designated Mentor, I guess there is no expert on that area, right MB?

We discovered that forum kind of runs itself. Both chroot and Greg are pretty expert in that area.

Congratulations, cristo!

I haven't seen newly inducted mentors serving coffee before. Is this the mentor-analogue of the whack-with-fish ceremony for new members?

All new mentors must take over housekeeping in the mentor's lounge and serve coffee (sans fish). I must say cristo is the best new help we've had. :tongue2: He even managed to remove that huge hair clog from the mentor's hot tub.

Mmm...and cristo makes some of the best coffee. Finally, something not spiked with jalapenos!

Glad to be of service! Although, the jalapeno coffee may come later.. depending on how long I'm the housekeeper for!

I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the jalapenos in the coffee. After all, it did make everyone very regular.

<innocent look>

It's when Astronuc decided to keep adding more jalapenos, complaining the coffee still didn't have any kick that it started getting unbearable.
