I would first like to take the opportunity on behalf of the entire staff to thank all those who applied for staff positions. We had a total of one hundred applications, and the Administrators have selected those who best fit the requirements of a vBulletin.org staff member.

Before I announce our choices, vBulletin.org is implementing a new staff hierarchy:

Administrators
Senior Moderators
Moderators
Advisors

The biggest amendment to our hierarchy is the addition of the Advisors group. This group is a means to allow members of vBulletin.org who display a strong sense of community spirit, participation, and skill to be publicly rewarded with an Advisor title for their efforts and, more importantly, to be on continual evaluation for promotion to the Moderator group. We hope to continually add members who display a friendly, courteous, and skillful attitude throughout the community to this group.

I believe the other groups of self-explanatory, so let's move on to announcing the new staff. It is my great pleasure to congratulate the following members in their promotions at vBulletin.org:

Moderators:

Kirk Y
Dismounted
Roms

Advisors:

King Kovifor
Atakan KOC
Redlinemotorsports
Nutz

Congratulations!
