Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

Hi all, I closed the poll a little bit ago and can now announce our two incoming admins who will be joining Windy for the remainder of the current admin term:


Congrats to these two, and another big thank-you to all our nominees for taking the time to participate and being willing to take on an admin role. We'll sort out the logistics of getting the right forum roles applied and whatnot over the next couple days, and from there I will likely fade out a bit and let our new team of Romeran, Sil and Windy take the lead on things while I spend the next several weeks carefully deliberating which thread in Khazad-Dum to go post in.

So I think that is that! Please welcome our new (and new-to-2022) admins and wish em well - and as before I'd like to hear what people thought of the voting process etc this time around, so please let me know how you found the experience and anything you think we should try differently next time.

(A note on the results -- I'll be making the full poll results available to the nominees if they wish to see them, which will show the full nominee ranking but no individual ballots and no identifying info of anyone who voted).

Congrats sil and rome! Yay!!!

Grats guys!! Looking forward to working with you both! <3

Congratulations and good luck I'm excited to have Sil back and look forward to seeing you as an admin Romeran!

Congrats to both, and thank you to all who were willing to give it a shot. May the next few months be uneventfully fun without too much chaos to crunch.

Many congratulations to the both of you! I am certain that you both will acclimate (and re-acclimate) quite well to your new roles.

Also, I am sorry (not) for all the shenanigans I am going to get into that you will have to deal with (and maybe some more games)

Congratulations, Rome and Sil! I am sure you will do a bang-up job! Enjoy your newfound power and responsibility!

Congratulations both of you.

Romeran, your energy, insight, and moral integrity have been well in evidence in Lore and have breathed new life into the place. I only hope that your new admin duties don't cut down too much on your posting time!

Congratulations to my favourite goose, Sil and our resident wizard Rome for being elected as admins! I wish you smooth sailing in your adminship and I hope you'll manage to have fun too. Both of you are very amaze.

Congratulations to @Silky Gooseness and @Romeran. And much respect also to all those who were brave enough to put their hat in the ring.

Thanks all for the kind words. I hope that I can help fill the shoes left behind by our previous excellent admins

Congratulations Sil and Romeran! It's good to have you both back!

And hats off to all those that stepped up to the plate!

Rome, I regret we haven't had much chance to interact because I've been absent but I can see you've had a positive impact on the community with your levelheaded and thoughtful responses. I'm very excited to see you bring those qualities to the admin team! I have no doubt you're going to fill those shoes just fine.

Sil, it's wonderful to see you back in your admin hat (or splendorous plumage?) again bringing your calm, open-minded attitude, warmth and enthusiasm along for the ride. (also representing the birds! )

I hope the term goes smoothly (as much as possible) for everyone. We are in good hands and lucky to have you all. Please try to remember to have fun, too!

Congrats @Silky Gooseness and @Romeran. Well deserved!

@Romeran Well, look at you! I might be so tempted to create some havoc for you to deal with just because...

@Silky Gooseness Great to see you back, Sil! I hope you'll have some very goosey fun along with adminny duties!



*runs away to figure out the list of posts to write*

Hey pals. I am both hon(k)oured and humbled that you’ve trusted me with this again, particularly given the really great set of candidates who were willing to volunteer their time again this round. Looking forward to causing more chaos doing my duty pottering around and tidying up and particularly to get the chance to work with @Romeran and of course my favrit dragon @Winddancer again. Thank you for all your well wishes! Love you all and don’t hesitate to tell me when to flap off if I’m getting things wrong. Sil

I would like to pop in here and say that A) @Silky Gooseness you look positivity beauteous in your blazing, balrogian babe once again and B) @Romeran, are you really fooling us with that Gandalf? kidding, kidding you look magnificent as well

@Frost I found this fake beard and wig which go nicely with my wizard’s hat

Yay! Sil, Rome you chose your new faces! You are both very stunning! Well Sil si very stunning as Arien, Rome you look like you're gonna take your favourite hobbit* on an adventure


* We all know this is Pippin, alright. I'll take no arguments from the lot of you.

Oh what a gorgeous Gandalf, Rom! Sil you're looking extra bright these days! Lovely faces both.
