 | | 15 Oct 2008 11:47 PM | | Craig / Curt,
I wanted to thank the both of you, RCNC owes a lot to you and your crew. I truly believe if it wasn't for your humor, conversation, and friendship RCNC would simply have never taken off. Not to mention your obsessive posting also probably makes up 50% of the traffic this site gets... :) I decided I want to endow you with a special honor, just for the two of you.
With merely 12 other registered members on RCNC, these two Canucks decided to leave Yahoo! and bring their entire group over to RCNC. They had no way of knowing if the site was going to survive, whether I was going to loose interest and/or ability... But they took a risk and here we are today 2 years & 800,000 hits/month later.
It never sat right with me that your titles were stripped in order to take on moderator responsibilities. You guys deserve special recognition for your contribution to this site from the very beginning. Gentlemen, you are granted the right to create a "personalized" rank for yourself.
Craig, You are granted the title:
Admiral Jack Sparrow
Curt, I await your decision.
Thank you guys, for everything.

 | | 16 Oct 2008 04:20 PM | | I'm sure he will come soon I hope! Thanks soooo much it was a complete surprise!!! :) Very appropriate name by the way. Lovvvvve the pirate movies ask anyone. In fact. As a joke (and as a sneaky way to ward off telemarketers who called up asking for Mr. Sparrow) I had my name listed and it would come up on the display as JACK SPARROW. Man. It was a great icebreaker!! But you could never prank call anyone! Just ask the Captains from the crew whether I ever pulled a fast one on them! It was great. This is great.
As far as Curt's Admiral's name? I think he would agree with a great nick that he has had for years.... Admiral Stokomoto. I think he would agree with that.... am calling him now! | | | |

Could not get ahold of him but left an urgent message. Comment one: ONLY 50%.... I'm sure it is more than that!!!! :) Comment two: Canucks..... nice....very nice to hear. Love it! Comment three: Does that mean when we hit the next level it changes? Or do we stay with Admiral? hmmmmmmmmm I'd like to know what you have in store, but, at the same time, Admiral is quite a promotion from Captain Sparrow, to be sure. All I need now is a crew and a ship!!!! LOL | | | |

OMG. Wow. I am totally typeless. First of all I would like to thank the members of the Academy. Jack.....Jack...... we go way back. Seriously though i nearly shat my self. Well if you want to promote me i am honored and there is a name that i have been using for a while as my signature handle so i think that this will be a good opportunity to make it official. The name is Stokomoto. Admiral Stokomoto | | | Bismarck
