No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

Talk about 'poacher turned gamekeeper'!

Oh well; there's no excuse now, sport - we expect a visit from our regional ambassador very soon.

Cheers,

Congratulations to the new Ambassadors!

MTF has just approved the million dollar budgets for all of us to travel in style like this chap: Luxuriously, Horo...  

So, Horo...

...you'll be cutting back on your usual style, and 'slumming it' from now on then? ;-) Cheers, pplater.

There is nothing wrong with change, if it is for the better. My personal stand is I will speak from my heart, write with some brains and react with my guts. It's part of my horological journey, being in this august forum in whatever capacity, evolving fro... 

I was going to say

 
By: Gary G : November 2nd, 2011-19:02
...fox in the henhouse, but it's the same idea... Congrats, Horo! Big fan, Gary

Well done to the new 3 musketeers...

With a particular big shake of hand to Horo. Looking forward to congratulating in person. Massi

Likewise !

 
By: Massi : November 2nd, 2011-19:34
I did not know at that time about your new role within the Purists, otherwise I would have congratulated already. Looking forward to the next time

Horo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 
By: ArthurSG : November 2nd, 2011-08:38

Horo, Oliver and Michael. Good choices for the positions. May your tenure be an interesting one...

Horo! Are you sure, man?

 
By: amanico : November 2nd, 2011-12:00
You will have to forget all these ankle shots, all the fun, and only focus on work, work, work again, and work, still. Damn, you're an Hero! Congratulations, my friend, I'm very happy to welcome you in the Mods Family. Best, Nicolas

thanks my French brother.

By: RJW : November 3rd, 2011-06:39
You mean Hororgasm has a real name? This is a little disappointing. Kind of like finding out there was a Skywalker inside Darth Vader's Helmet and suit. Regards, Richard.

I was saving that for a mega fantasy post where LOTR meets Star Wars meet Harry Potter

 
By: Hororgasm : November 3rd, 2011-09:39
So far all the casting roles are up for grabs, except the following roles, which will be played SOLELY by Nicholas....Lord Voldemot, Darth Vader and Dark Lord Sauron. I believe I am in the contention for the following roles of Samwise Gamgee, C3PO and/or ... 

Oh, Horo...

 
By: dxboon : November 3rd, 2011-09:51
...you are too amusing! Very happy to have you on board! *still chuckling* Daos

Awesome!

 
By: sidneyc : November 2nd, 2011-16:23
Congrats to Horo, Oliver, and Michael! The Team is growing nicely! Looking forward to an even bigger and stronger PuristSPro!

Congratulations to the 3 new mods and Horo

 
By: dreamer8 : November 2nd, 2011-16:32
please don't change.Continue with your Stern's in private jet jest LOL. Cheers,dreamer

Ah yes... I forgot about this... Should prove a Stern but funny predicament for Horo :-)

 
By: ArthurSG : November 2nd, 2011-17:40
and others I might add... while horo will undoubtedly add his own flare (yes flare LOL) to this place, I will miss his candid views on certain matters and brands... That for the personal meetups I guess...

Actually I strongly encourage candid views ...

 
By: AndrewD : November 2nd, 2011-19:38
... remembering that we are in a virtual cocktail party sharing conversation and ideas. We shouldn't be rude or hurtful to others, but we should all be happy to dissect the hard issues in a supportive environment where everyone's voice has relevance. A

Horo SHOULD continue to share his candid views. I encourage him to do so.

 
By: dxboon : November 3rd, 2011-09:57
Being a moderator is not about kowtowing to the brands or anyone in the community. Since I became a moderator I can attest to the fact that nobody on the exec team or with whom I work at the watch brands has ever once chastised me for anything I've said (... 

THat is great to know Daos

 
By: ArthurSG : November 3rd, 2011-17:50
Becuase doing so would take away from Gasm (or anyone) what makes Gasm (or anyone)... and I'm not sure Gasm would stand for that as well.

Thank you Dreamer...

 
By: Hororgasm : November 4th, 2011-03:06
Just to clarify...I am known as Kevin in the mundane real world, but Horo in the fantasy horological world...kinda alter ego who enjoys ruffling the Stern feathers, slaying the Richemont dragon and kicking the Swatch bucket.... - Best, Horo

And he did all that with just one Tag Heuer 1887 wearing the latest super flux LV superhero undie. LOL

By: SamEE : November 2nd, 2011-17:45
Horogasm, Small Luxury World, and Michael C. People like you make this site such a special place to be a part of. Best SamEE

Congratulations to all 3 new moderators/ambassadors

 
By: docsnov : November 2nd, 2011-18:08
Horo, I always enjoy reading your posts, which are often funny and thought provoking. Look forward to seeing more material. Stewart

Thanks mate

 
By: Hororgasm : November 2nd, 2011-21:08
Will attempt to write more creatively and am getting another transfusion of wit and humour from Pplater. Best, Horo

Wonderful news and congratulations again ...

 
By: AndrewD : November 2nd, 2011-19:50
... to all three Mods-at-large. Great additions to the diverse team. PuristS can only continue to thrive and move into new and interesting areas. I hope all our members continue to contribute, start new threads, ask the obscure questions they never though... 

Congratulations to all 3 new mods (now that its official)

 
By: RJW : November 3rd, 2011-06:42
Didn't realise there were "tiers" of moderators. Always wondered what a Community Ambassador was. Regards, Richard.

WOW...

 
By: FanFrancisco : November 3rd, 2011-09:30
... congrats, horor. you are well-deserved to be our CommAmb for this timezone so expecting you will be spending more and more time here with us and posting more and more amusing notes and attractive pics... LOL stefan

Thanks Stefan...

There will be a pipeline of activities, we speak when we meet. Best, Horo
