Thanks for the comments guys

Gosh, that's a bit to live up to 8(
Just so there are no surprises down the line and as this is not expected to be a long term thing for me, I'll first explain why I'm back as mod. It's got a bit to do with having some extra spare time for the next month or so, but a lot to do with seeing a need to fix a few things. As some of you will know, of late, for me and at least one other BL VIP, it's either try to fix these things or take the next flight out of here.
Hopefully we can sort out what I and others see as our (Aus DD's) current inadequacies and difficulties, and in doing so further lift the standard of the forum so Harm Reduction again becomes the primary focus. If some of the suggestions I'll be making to the other mods are taken up, the future should see a far greater emphasis on providing practical advice, and ideally also attract new members and expand on the range of topics put up for discussion. Overall, there has been some improvement in post quality lately, but imo there's still a way to go.
Not all of you will agree with some of this, and I understand and accept there will probably be a few who'll turn their backs on Aus DD altogether. However, if things do progress, those who are here primarily for the harm reduction value should see an improved forum. If you need to voice your concerns I'm nearly always available via PM. I promise that a friendly approach will be met with a friendly response.
Finally, I'd like thank the other mods for this opportunity, particularly lil angel who has pretty much run the place by herself for most of the past year. Whether you agree with her on everything or not, Lil has put a lot into BL, and I doubt she receives a fraction of the appreciation she deserves. I look forward to helping fine tune Aus DD with her, Sykik, Psilo and Blau, and wherever possible, help with any problems our Aussie Blers might have.
