XMTS Moderator Appreciation Day?

I think this is a fantastic idea. The mods are great folk and they work very hard to make this community fun, welcoming and friendly.

The 28th is just as good as any other day, but I'm wondering why you picked it. Any particular significance to the date?

But of course they deserve our appreciation. After all, someone has to keep the inmates from running the asylum. Oh, wait, they're inmates, too... well, anyway...

Well to be completely honest, I wanted to pick a period of time that the moderators hopefully wouldn't be too terribly busy, because I would hate for them to miss work.

For example I didn't want to make it a day right around St. Patrick's day, since this website has a huge flux of threads and posts.

I also didn't want to pick a day like February 29th, because the moderators would only get a holiday once every 4 years.

Then I thought I'd let this poll run for 2 weeks and after the two weeks, there would be about a week to plan a kilt night with your local mods. I just hope that next year the date is remembered and everyone keeps the tradition going.
