On another thread, beth83 mentioned that she didn't know who the validators are. It's time to lift the veil of obscurity that for too long has shrouded their efforts.
Everyone knows what a great job that Februs and our librarians do (except for the propensity of the latter to over-imbibe, eat the Library's entire stash of crisps, and annoy certain un-named members, who shall be identified only by their initials, such as Arthur Jame Bli.... er... AJB). But without the efforts of our validators we wouldn't have the little synopses, carefully edited text, and neat little icons we've come to rely upon.
Who does this fine work? Well, to get the complete list, you can
click on the "About" button on the menu bar, and
then click "Staff" (which doesn't, in these case, mean that big stick carried around by our very own Goodgulf). [or, for those who don't understand the concept of of clicking buttons, but nonetheless DO understand the more obscure concept of cutting and pasting) you can cut and paste the following into your browser[
http://www.spankinglibrary.co.cc/index.php?func=about&view=stf ]. There you'll see ALL the validators AND the number of stories each has validated (this site is great for statistics, isn't it?).
The familiar names of
PinkAngel,
flopsybunny, and
Linda appear at the top of the list (disproving the notion that they spend ALL of their time in the aforementioned imbibing and crisp-eating). BUT you'll also see the less-well-known names of
corncrake and
bendover (each with over a thousand stories validated -
- and many other names -
cheery,
Lincoln,
elliej,
Dave, etc, etc.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the content icon validators and sub-genre validators, such as
jefesse,
FLN825, and
turk!
So, the next time you see one of them online, why don't you send a pop-up and thank them for their hard work! (that's a helluva lot cheaper than shipping them the chocolate, booze, and spanking gear they deserve, isn't it?)
Let's hear it for the validators!
