Lurker 5 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I'm very proud of this board. I'm thrilled that we have a very active community. This is a very close knit board, and I thank everyone who participates here for making this place so great.However, I no longer have the time to devote to every post and thread here. My responsibilites in my real world job have increased and sadly something had to give. Effective immediately, I will no longer be the full time moderator of this message board. This was a very tough decision to make.The good news is, there was someone here who I thought would do an excellent job taking over the responsibilities, and he agreed to become the boards new moderator. I have found him to be a very reasonable and knowledgable poster and an overall nice guy. I hope that you all show him the same respect (or even more!) that you showed me here during my time.And with that, I now hand the keys to the message board over to the new moderator, Marc, or as he's known here, "Mr. Breathmask"!Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 He's not moderating! He's passed on! This Moderator is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, He rests in peace! If we hadn't nailed him to the board he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now hiistory! He's off the forum! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-MODERATOR!!Congratulations Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found him to be a very reasonable and knowledgable poster and an overall nice guy. Damn. I thought you were talking about me, Neil Seriously though, congratulations Marc. You are perfect for the job (especially as we had a chat about this a few days ago at 3am in a dark alley and made sneaky deals considering distribution of JwFan funds....You scratch my back i'll scratch yours...know what i mean...nudge nudge wink wink..say no more).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Marc is the best choice possible.Kissing ass already Tommy.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Effective immediately, I will no longer be the full time moderator of this message board.

John McClane 1 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Kissing ass already Tommy. ."Now let me tell you something, brother!"Don't even start to think that. Marc knows I like him, we send each other some emails about our vacations, and at least he reply to my emails and PMs. Don't think today is the day that I consider Marc a friend, my dear jelous redhead friend. I'm guessing this means you will hold Marc's hand for a while before trowing him to the wolves (me, Alex and Mirko)LOL at least you putting me to your same level!Neil, will you still post and be some kind of co-moderator?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Hmmm...I don't really think so. Ricard is the Pope, and it's still his MB. As long as the Rules do not change radically then everything pretty much stays the same.There wasn't a huge change when Moderation went from Ricard to Neil.
