Congrats, cristo!

I wish all the best to ST on his new endeavors.

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Well you've helped me out a few times, and certainly done the leg work, congrats.

 

[cristo]

Thanks all, and I would like to echo Astronuc and Greg in wishing ST all the best in his studies!

 

[_Mayday_]

Congrats Cristo!

 

[Evo]

WOO HOO!

Well deserved cristo!

Now where's my coffee?

 

[G01]

Congrats Cristo! Well-deserved indeed.

 

[cristo]

Thanks Mayday and Evo. (edit: and G01!)

Now where's my coffee?

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!

Make sure you wash your hands.

Welcome aboard, Cristo! I take a dark roasted coffee, in that extra large cup, two sugars and milk.

Sure.. I'm just in the kitchen at the moment.. I'll be down to the labs in a few minutes!

I've already congratulatated you but congrats again, cristo.

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."?

 

[Moonbear]

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 ).

 

[Cyrus]

Congrats cristo. I'll send you my list of people to start warning/ban shortly. It will be a pleasure doing business with you.

 

[Danger]

Congratulations, Cristo, and best wishes to Tiger.

 

[Moonbear]

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.

 

[Evo]

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

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

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".

Thanks guys And yes, like the other mentors, I'm open to bribery

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

The postman's not going to enjoy delivering that!

 

[Evo]

Oh <sniff> I am so proud, he learns so quick.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

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

Poooooor Space Tiger.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Congrats, Cristo. Enjoy the free chocolate!

Heh, Ivan would get it.

what is it called now?

Congrats, Cristo. Enjoy the free chocolate!

Free is an ~Illusion~

so your a lucky floater then?

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?

 

[Evo]

Ssshhh, we don't talk about it.

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. He even managed to remove that huge hair clog from the mentor's hot tub.
