# A special birthday greeting goes out to # @jamerussell A portion of this post's rewards will be shared as a birthday present!

James Russell (@jamerussell) has been on the Steem blockchain since July 2018. However, it seems much longer because he has networked and become a memorable and active presence. He has been a regular attendee of the longest running curation show for Steem posts on Discord, "Pimp Your Post Thursday" (PYPT) in The Ramble, where he is more likely to share someone else's post as one of his own. He is also a member of TheAlliance and other projects, as well.

Most notably, however, he joined the @steemterminal project shortly after its inception. We soon recognized that he was "Moderator material," always thinking things through before taking action, and being fair in his judgements. He has been a fantastic Moderator and is well-loved by all in the SteemTerminal Discord server and is always quick to help others. He was promoted to the level of Administrator this week in recognition of his dilgence in the server.

Not long after hearing of the @heyhaveyamet project, he joined it as well. Since then, he has worked tirelessly, looking at new accounts on the blockchain. He visits their #introduceyourself posts and reads them carefully, welcoming them to the blockchain and inviting them to the SteemTerminal Discord server if they have questions or need assistance. He works very closely with @brittandjosie each day to coordinate this work, and he has helped many people feel more comfortable on the blockchain and receive answers to their questions!

THANK YOU for all your assistance, hard work, and for being such a great guy and good friend to all! Happy Birthday! Check out one of their recent posts: 👉 Making a Simple Post a Little Classier, Part 2
