  Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed longtime member BricksThatStick
to the Catalog Associate position. Paul served as the site's 4th Inventories
Admin during 2010 to 2011 alongside Emma (SimplyBricks). He effectively replaced
Dan Jezek, the site's founder, who had a special fondness for inventories
work and who of course left very big shoes to fill.

If you take the time to scroll through Paul's 900+ inventories changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=44744&v=3

...you will notice a sea of green, followed by a sea of blue, followed by another
sea of green. This means he continued to contribute to the catalog after having
once been an admin, which is (unfortunately) something rather uncommon. But it
demonstrates a great and correct attitude, the kind of attitude we wish to model
for all of our other contributors out there, especially the ones still cutting
their teeth.

Paul has, over the years, been very active as a seller and many of you will know
him also from his activity in the Forum. We look forward to his practical insights
and we are confident he will play a vital role in our growing catalog team.

Please welcome him back!

Russell

Welcome back, Paul.

It would make me happy to be able to pay-it-back, what you and the others contribute.

Welcome back, Paul #2. Thank you for helping Dan and thank you for helping Dan's
legacy. I never knew him at all, but the thing he made is a good thing and it
needs care. I'll be seeing you around.

Sorry, but I must say that I take offense at this statement. You are passing
judgement on the previous admins and their reasons for leaving the site. You
are implying that the 'correct' attitude would be to maintain one's
dedication to a site even after you may have had a bad experience.
You don't know how they were treated by the management and members of this
site.

Jen

This thread was supposed to be a joyful welcome for a new team member. I'm
sorry if it was offensive to anyone and I don't want to argue a point.

I will leave this thread as it is for now. But if people keep commenting on this
issue, I will be forced to lock it.

You don't know how they were treated by the management and members of this
site.

I think you make a valid point, I felt so when I first read Russell’s statement
yesterday. But if you’ll allow me just a moment of open mindedness to express
how I reasoned through that portion or Russell’s post…

Simply put, the 'attitude' Russell speaks of, and what you've taken
umbrage with, is for lack of a better term, site first. That is the idea
of BL, not any given people of it - at any given time. Yes, it’s a for-profit
venture, but it’s inception and all important developmental years, were steeped
in the idea of a site that is community for AFOL, according to what is now doctrine
but simply was what Daniel expressed.

I think Russell (understanding he’s partially responsible for the current direction
of BL) to use a metaphor, is attempting to correct course of the ship we all
have boarded

You were as dedicated a BL Inventories Admin as any, I thought. We never met,
but I think I remember you from the Seattle Round Table, sitting across from
my son and I. You’ve given a lot of yourself to the site and should be shown
appreciation, along with the several others that have given selflessly to better
our catalog, including the many non-admin contributors. Catalog is what makes
this site, IMHO.

All that being said, I understand Russell’s statement.

As to your statement "how they were treated by the management and members
of this site" you're no longer an admin, express yourself! I don't believe
unpaid positions are subject to the same enforceability of non-discloser agreements,
if any If you want people to understand the concern that you've taken
the time to post, you'll need to add more context.

Forum participants are less than a percent of the overall site membership, but
the percentage of those that read the forum is far greater.

Take your time, but tell your story, Jen. That is, if you haven't already
somewhere here in the forum.
