Thread: Purgatory Hosting Change

After a long time hosting several different boards on the Ship, most recently Purgatory, Doublethink has decided it is time to hang up the host hat and let someone else take over.
We would like to thank Doublethink for all the work she has put into hosting over the years.
Stepping up to take over in Purgatory we welcome Eutychus. Just don't press too hard to welcome him, that's an open window behind him ...

I'm going to miss Doublethink a lot; her acuity, sensitivity and conscientiousness have made her a really great colleague as well as an excellent Host. Thanks for your comradeship and support, DT.
A very warm welcome, Eutychus. After rather more than the usual hazing "fun" of the Hosting training thread, I think you're well prepared! I like the shiny new avatar as well. Very best wishes in your new role.

Nooooooo! I just got Doublethink hating everybody, just the way I like.
And Eutychus is too nice. It'll take forever to train the hate into him.
It's just so inconvenient.

Good work, Doublethink, thanks for all you have done.
So Eutychus, is now a good time to post those incriminating Speedo photos at Sidmouth beach? ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

I think it more that DT's physician has finally found the correct balance of meds and Eutychus' chemist filled the wrong prescription.

Love the new avatar, Eutychus! Welcome to the hosting team and good luck in Purg.
DT, you've been such an asset. Enjoy your well-deserved rest.

Thanks Doublethink. You've been a host for as long as I've been aboard. Still remember you as the ninja eyes and the superscript two in my head
Welcome Eutychus. Hope you enjoy the new role. Just remember, if you need an easy going, level headed person to back you up, I'm your woman.

Thanks for all your work over so many years, Think^2! Come join us over in the ex-hosts' lounge (the nibbles aren't so fancy, but the Monday morning quarterbacking is so much more fun).
Eutyches, it's good fortune for the ship to have you!

Farewell, DT! don't be a stranger! I think I left some junk food in the former-hosts lounge, unless Chorister and Hart got into it all.

I'm sure Purgatory will drive him around the bend soon enough. He'll be batshit like the rest of us in no time!

Doublethink has been a fantastic host. I'm extremely sorry to see her go, but glad she's leaving before it's too late. How she's managed to read all she's had to read is a great mystery. I, myself, not only fail to make sense on most days, my memory is getting so bad, I'm libel to repeat the same incoherent post on the same thread the very next day.
God save her and he who follows her.

It's too late for all of us already.
But what a fabulous hosting career - from ecclesiantics at it's rebirth through purg and I believe a spot in hell, all delivered with thought, fairness, panache and just a little sarcasm from time to time as needed.
