Welcome a new moderator to the team

Thank you to all who responded when we put out the call for a new moderator.  It's been several weeks of discussion behind the scenes as we wanted to find the best fit for the forum. 

Please join us in welcoming Jeff of Jeff & Sandy to the Foreforums moderating team!  He joins Brett (wolfe10), John (John S), and me here on the best owners' forum there is.

It's a lot of work, for sure. I don't know how many trolls want to join here, but on the Facebook pages- lots

We have several measures built into the forum software (ElkArte, Free and Open Source Community Forum Software) that minimizes that issue.  It's definitely not a free-for-all to sign up.  Plus there are good tools for moderators to vet new users by IP address and e-mail that Facebook doesn't have/use - https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup and Free email address validation API service, block disposable email

It is nice to have our dedicated moderators as they maintain the smooth operation of our Forum.

What is special and unique is to have Michelle and Steve on our team. They had the original vision to transition a good Foretravel Forum into the best of the best. Their vision is 20/20 perfect, and we all appreciate their many years of continuing improvements, server & program updates, and encouragements. Freely buying what is needed for the benefit of other Foretravel owners & enthusiasts. Without Michelle and Steve, we would not be able to share decades of knowledge among ourselves and the many newcomers.

Thank you Steve & Michelle. . .

Thank you guys so much for all you do.    I'm on several forums and this one is the North Star.   

I had such poor vision and confidence I couldn't imagine something you guys put together could ever be as good as the Yahoo group that convinced me to buy our first coach, a U280.  Was I ever wrong.  To top it off I don't have to wait for the computer to dial up the Internet these days.
