**Congratulations to our new moderators!**

As a defeated candidate, I send congratulations to both rand al'thor and Null. I wish you and the entire community the best. I’m sure you’ll both work for the good of the site. I can’t imagine this is an easy role to take on – good luck to you and our entire moderation team – and thanks in advance for the work you’ll about to put in.

Thanks also to the other candidates. There were more good candidates than positions available, and I think that’s an endorsement for the health of our site.

Finally, thanks to anybody who voted for me. It really means a lot.

**@Gilles and @Keen:** Thank you both for all the work you’ve put into the site, both as the first moderators and as regular posters. I’m sorry you both felt the need to leave the site behind, and I wish you the best of luck in the future.
