And an interesting time it was...more like the wild frontier than the current well-oiled machine that PF has become. I have Monique (Niqqie) to thank for introducing me to this place. It's amazing to see how much this place has grown since its beginning. We should write some kind of PF biography.

Anyone remember some of the other past mentors not shown in Greg's list?

 

[Monique]

MacCoder of course :), Ben is the first name that comes to mind

 

[Kerrie]

don't forget typeo (stephen), i think he was voted as PF clown once and caused some havoc...then eventually became a mentor...

 

[Andy]

Jimmy p was alpha goat, but what was my origional name?

 

[jimmy p]

wasnt your original name Andy? lol or Brahman or something

Formal job descriptions next, and interviews?

What's a PF Advisor? Why do we have them?

Is there a graph anywhere of the growth in member numbers vs time? What sort of simple analytic curve would fit it well?

Maybe Moni doesn't have to wait so long!

As once explained by the honorable member FZ+...
"As far as I am aware, a mentor is a government post, controlling one province of the land, of PF whilst an advisorship is a knighthood, giving no special powers but as an honorary postion."

PF Advisors are those members who have shown themselves to be a great asset to PF and who are entrusted to help make this a better place for all. They can see behind the curtain but don't get into all the administrative stuff that the mentors do (like moving/locking topics, etc.). In a sense, they are mentors without the "nuke post" button on their keyboard.

Wasn't Scandium a Mentor once? I wan't here for much of PF1, and I wasn't an active participant (as in, when I actually started posting) until about the middle of PF2 (maybe closer to the end, I'm not really sure), but I do remember Scandium mentioning something about having been a Mentor (I think).

Corey? That's my name! You know, like my non-PF real person name. Cool, I have the same name as one of the Tyrants!
