Hey everyone.
I'm glad to announce that Mark, aka Opa1, has agreed to join the Haven moderation team.

Mark will be taking on the task of growing one of our most exciting forums, The Doorway. The concept of the Doorway was to create a space for folks new to the hobby to ask questions and learn without being talked down to as is so usual in other forums. To really make them feel comfortable in starting down the road to growing in our mutual hobby.

I can't imagine a better gent to make the Doorway all it can be.

The Doorway is an exciting feature. It may well become the sine qua non of this site... because, yeah, newbies tend to get eaten alive on many other hifi forums :(

(heck, I am one of the eater-alivers, sometimes)
 
I look forward to the new addition, congrats Mark, er, um "opa 1". Now I have remember two names? ;)

It always was the heart and soul of this place, and the first forum I actually created. I just never had the bandwidth to take on pushing it myself, nor did we have the right guy in place who both understands good gear and good sound, but is also open enough to be excited about a lot of the great new and inexpensive gear coming out. We finally have that guy in Mark, and I really look forward to seeing where it goes.
 
Excellent! Congratulations, Mark, and much success in your new adventure. Mod-venture?

The Doorway forum is in most capable hands.
 
Congratulations, Mark! :)

The Doorway has the potential to be one of The Haven's most exciting features!
 
You’re the right man for the job Mark. I’m excited to see what you do with that forum.
 
Congrats opa1. "The Doorway" is a good concept; I think the audio segment may be more diverse and complicated than ever, and it's hard to sort the wheat from the chaff sometimes especially if one is just starting out.

Congrats on the "promotion". Being a Mod can be a thankless job at times. Good thing this place is pretty Canadian.....I mean civil.......Sooory.
 
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving member. Of course, it's a bit of a mixed blessing, Mark. ;)
