Hello everyone,

We are pleased to announce that we have made another appointment. StormChaser,
who was appointed as Inventories Administrator last year, has now been promoted
to Catalog Administrator.

This is an important step for BrickLink. We haven't had a Catalog Admin appointment
for over nine years, and this is the first time someone has moved from the Inventories
side of the system to the Catalog side.

We believe StormChaser is highly qualified for this position. In addition to
an outstanding year as an Inventories Admin, he has had years of intense experience
with every area of the BrickLink Catalog. He has made many thousands of corrections,
uploaded an enormous amount of new data, and has solved a number of LEGO mysteries
over the years. So we're very pleased he has agreed to accept this position,
and we look forward to his activity in this new area.

We will be be making another appointment soon to fill his former position as
Inventories Administrator.

Russell

Congratulations StormChaser! From what I saw on the forum you must be very dedicated
and I am sure we all owe you alot. I also tend to agree with your general opinions
about Bricklink. Well deserved!

Congratulations! I've been following as many of the inventory change discussions
as I can manage and find them fascinating. I'm looking forward to the same
enthusiasm with the catalog as well.

I'm still relatively new to Bricklink, but for as long as I've been here,
I've only seen StormChaser being incredibly helpful in all aspects of both
the forum and the catalog. Congratulations StormChaser! Thank-you for everything
you do!

Congratulations StormChaser!

I am happy to see a new Catalog Admin added to the team, especially because the
workload seems to be increasing every year.

A few days ago I already find out he is doing a great job!

Within’ a few moments after I posted a question regarding a change in inventory
regarding different headprints and new head studs he made a note on the sets
and 44 minifigs it was needed for.

So, yes, I am very glad he joined the Catmin team and he is already doing a great
job!

Thanks again and congratulations!

Thank you all for the exceedingly kind thoughts. I consider this to be something
like an elected position where I work for you, the BrickLink members. The position
isn't exactly like that, obviously, but that is how I choose to see it.

That is, until around February of next year when I plan to go absolutely mad
with power and add smiley faces and other assorted emoticons to every item in
the catalog (including all pending catalog submissions).

Seriously, though, I'm here for you and if anyone needs anything or has questions,
then please contact me (until February, of course, when I change).

Congrats, SC, very well deserved, you do a lot to help our community...............
I'm with Speg, I hope there is some kind of renumeration, I don't want
to know what, none of my business, but "our community" is now someones business,
no such thing as a free lunch,

Ha Ha!

But I was just wondering if this job pays anything or if it is still a volunteer
job. I just don't see how you can manage to find all the time to do all
the work you do while still paying the bills! If this job doesn't pay anything,
I think it should!

To answer the question that three of you have asked: this is an unpaid volunteer
position. I do have a full-time job away from BrickLink which is not related
to plastic bricks in any way.

However, the position does come with some benefits which make it worthwhile to
me.

October, 23rd 2018, a single player won $1,537,000,000 in the Mega Millions lotery.
October, 25th 2018, StormChaser is appointed Catalog Administrator.

Coincidence? You decide….
