Over the last three years there has been a tremendous increased interest in our members wanting to become a BYC staff member/moderator. The job is often hard and thankless, but our BYC Moderators are first-in-class members that love our community and put in a tremendous amount of time to help ensure that our millions of site visitors every month have an enjoyable experience! With that said, we've decided to start limiting all the staff/moderators to one year of service. This will allow many of our other amazing members the opportunity to become members of our team.

So, over the next two weeks, we'll be retiring the following moderators and thank them for their service:


(NOTE: each of these moderators can re-sumbit to become moderators again, but only after a one-year break in service)

Please take a moment to thank these amazing people for their years of great help and support to our wonderful community!

Starting tomorrow, the moderators (retiring and continuing) will be reviewing our most active and helpful members. Once that process is complete, we will select a handful to invite to join our team to replace those that will be retiring.

You can read more details about our moderator requirements from our FAQ's here:

Yep, out with the old and in with the new. It was an amazing experience working with Rob and the rest of the team…. I'm not good with departure notes, so I'll just say "Good Luck" to the new mods!

Though I am so new that I have not got my feathers yet, I would like to thank you all for your service to BYC. For without your hard work and diligence, BYC would not be what it is today, ready and welcoming to all us new eggs. Thank you.
