Greetings all,
As you may have noticed, it's been pretty busy around these parts lately, with a lots of interesting conversations about the Dhamma taking place.
Therefore, I'm very pleased to announced that Sam Vara has elected to return to the moderation team after a period of absence. Please join me in welcoming Sam Vara back to this position, where I'm sure he'll do a great job, just like last time.
Metta,
Paul.

Sam Vara returns as a moderator
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: Sam Vara returns as a moderator
btw, may I know what the blue color means for Mike & SDC, & Khalil Bodhi . I think, Mike is a staff member but SDC is not anymore (although recently conducting the study group). They are in blue while Admins are red, and Global Mods are green.

Re: Sam Vara returns as a moderator
Greetings SDA,
The blue "founding member" designation applies to former staff members who were pivotal in the early days of the forum, and who helped get the forum up and running. Not all founding members want the formal designation, so they can opt out of this recognition if they so choose.
No "blue" members are current moderators although SDC does have some limited moderator functionality to help him manage the Study Group.
Metta,
Paul.

In whatever way they conceive it,
It turns out otherwise.

Re: Sam Vara returns as a moderator
Thank you
And the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: "Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness!"
This was the last word of the Tathagata.
