He was always considered by me for staff on AA, he's been loyal to us, even through the days of AE, he was the one who showed me how to Role-Play and interacted with me when I was a mere noob, I owe him a lot and if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have Keiko Neisan (Who I referred because of the RP) and possibly we wouldn't even have AnimeAddicted anymore!
He's one of the best post-by-post Role-Players I've come across and I'm happy he's stayed with us all this time and he continues to Role-Play with Mina to create their amazing story, which I for one am I fan of.
So, he's had it a long time coming and I'm proud posting this to announce him as a moderator for the Role-Play Approvals and the Traditional Role-Play sections.
So thank you Ely, count this thread almost as a tribute to you!
While I'm at it I also created two new forums, the Flame Room and the RRS, check them out, I wont do a massive intro, they're pretty straightforward.
