Thanks for everything René!

I'd like to publicly thank René for everything he has done for RMNP/CNP in his time as co-moderator. You guys put in a lot of work behind the scenes and you should know that we all appreciate your time and efforts.

Thanks and good luck René.

(And good luck Jim!)

Absolutely!! Thanks Rene, for helping the best photo site out there be even better! Welcome to Jim too!

Hear, hear!!!

Thanks for all your time, Rene.

Thanks for everything Rene...you are AWESOME!

I think I missed an announcement somewhere ... but THANK YOU René for your time and effort here.

Which Jim is taking over?

I was looking for the post also. Dont see one.

Rene has decided to jump out of the moderator role and into normal civilian life again. I thank him for all the help he has given to us over the past years. Rene is not leaving us and will be around to help us out (especially with the code behind the fall colors contest). At the same time I am welcoming Jim Casteel who has volunteered (poor fella) for moderator duties.

Thanks so much, Rene for all of your hard work. It showed in a flawless site. Welcome Jim, have you lost your mind? And a big thank you to Richie V. for all you do as well!

Thanks Rene and welcome Jim!

Thank you, Rene.

Thanks for your efforts keeping the system going Rene.

Jim, Thanks for stepping up to fill that role.

Mel-

Thanks for helping make this such a great place for regional photographers, René !!
Hope our paths cross again soon.

Well, THIS is the announcement, I guess. Earlier today when I saw Jim Casteel's name listed next to Rich's as moderator (and René's name absent), I called René to satisfy my curiosity. As it turns out, René stepped out and Jim (bravely? foolishly? ), stepped in.

Because the moderators do a lot of generally thankless work, I figured thanking René for everything he has done for us was the thing to do.

Mystery solved.

Ditto, Ditto! Thanks and have fun not being a moderator!

I also have to say thank you Rene for the years of service you have given.

Thanks also to everyone for the warm welcome as moderator.

Well done Rene. Thanks for all of your service.

Gheez CAZ, you beat me to the post!!!

Well - thank you for the "thank yous" everyone!!! It's been a pleasure working as a moderator. I just thought it was time to give someone else the chance to moderate.

Whoa Jack...we'll talk later

I know Jim and Rich will continue to do a great job.

I'll be around on the forum...

Another Big thanks to Rene for doing a fine job of moderating this forum, and welcome to Jim!.

I assumed it was a post for life, like Supreme Court or Pope

Anyway, thanks to all the moderators (past and present and future)! You guys keep this group of nutcases in place and that's not an easy job.

Thanks for the hard work Rene - thanks for volunteering Jim.

Rene did a fine job indeed and deserves a hefty thanks you. Also a big thanks to Jim for stepping up!

Thanks and Thanks!

Thank you to both Rene and Richie for the hard work they put into this forum. It's a pleasure to have access to all the great folks on RMNP. Welcome aboard Jim!

Thank you to all of you thankless volunteers who do what you do behind the scenes. As a newer member, this site is absolutely invaluable in it's content and the caliber of it's participants is simply amazing . Hopefully one day I can give back and help strengthen this community like you all have done. Thanks again!

Ditto what everyone else is saying. You guys are great!

Muchas gracias, Rene! And merci beaucoup Jim!

Ditto! You stand above the rest, Rene! Literally!

Thanks, for all your contributions, man!

How'd you sucker Jim??

Thanks, Rene, for all the work etc!
Jim, one of Rene's duties was to send me free beer each week--hopefully you will continue this tradition

Thanks Rene, and thanks Jim! I'm a little late to the gratitude party.
