I guess Jitter left a skald hole. A grey-shaped skald hole. Sounds like something you would find on a walk across the misty moors or through the deep woods . . .

Thanks Feartheviolas and all the staff! I promise to do my best to be up to the task!

Also thanks Lallicat, SkyWhalePod and Ran! :)

Sounds like something you would find on a walk across the misty moors or through the deep woods . . .
Both sound like mysterious places that I would love to explore... as long as there are no trolls or beasts around ;)

(BTW anyone can feel free to call me Grey. It's a lot easier and faster to type.)

Wohoo Grey, welcome to the team!



Ran, with All This going on and some reorganization to be expected we need reinforcements to the Forum team, although everything has been remarkably calm so far. My surprise upward mobility did indeed leave a Skald deficiency in the ranks.

Thanks, Vulpes!

They meet with the rest of the staff at midnight when there's a new moon and then...

I've just began, so I guess I'll find out more soon. So far my task has been saying thanks to my friends.  ;D
However there's been some talk about reorganization on the "Future of our Fandom thread", and according to the "Important Information" topic, Skalds are meant to help organizing the Forum, moving, merging or splitting threads, and editing calendar events. They can also lock/unlock and pin threads. So it seems that I'll have to ask Mikkel where he left that wheelbarrow...

During my period as Skald I didn’t need to use any of the ”powers” at all  :)  I mostly felt it gives some credibility when saying things such as please do not post comments in the role-playing thread. I also hope it signals to people at they can PM me with any questions, and I did receive some such questions so I guess it worked. I have also helped with the events such as the Chapter Break Filler, but that I started first and became Skald later (there may be a correlation though). Keep was building an index or list of useful threads by a grouping, to make ir easier to get started for newbies.

With the reorganization being planned there will be some changes in the boards, meaning there will be need for humanpower to move threads to their new locations. So, potatoes to peel, dishes to wash, that kind of thing :reynir:

Whoa, congratulations Grey! Being a Skald sounds like a pretty big deal! (It looks like things are about to get busy...)

Grey, congratulations on your promotion. With your excellent eye for detail I am sure you will be an asset! Obviously I have missed a lot in the last few days, having been away from home and absorbed in mundane activities and obligations, but I am beginning to catch up again. Interesting times.
