For Your Information

[[B][O][T]]

Hi all, I informed the Team today that I wanted to resign so I'll be back as a normal member pretty soon.
Been moderating this forum for almost a year now and it's time to move on.
I'm not leaving the board though :)
My holiday started yesterday and I want to be completly FREE :P

[J'Pol]

RESPECT Mate.

I hope you stay about the forum as you have indicated.

You know me. I am always happy to speak to the little people.

Live long in Possil.

[C-Sharp]

Seems like [b][o][t] was a good member. I guess it is sad for me to have not met him while he was an admin :unsure:

[Cheese]

Cheerio BOT

Sad to see you leave the modding/admin team. :(

[{%shellshock%}]

Later [B][O][T] .Hope you like it better as a member.

[manker]

You're a nice guy BOT. Shame to lose you from the modding team as you always seemed willing to help with everything in all forums.

Still it's good news that you will still be around on the board :D

Bye [B][O][T]...although, you aren't really leaving, but anyway...

[kAb]

@ bot: 's bout time! ;) :P

[sparsely]

:wub: :P

[longboneslinger]

Sorry to see you leave as as a Big Dog, glad yer hangin' with us little folks! Your popularity is proven as there are no flames from our more negative peeps :rolleyes: Just keep dropping those helpful pens and we'll keep posting! :P

Later taters,
BoNe

PS That 'no flames' bit wasn't a shot at you [B][O][T], just a comment on the general trend towards flaming mods and admins around here. We do love our drama, though! :lol:

[RealitY]

Gee Im just so shocked, how did this ever come to be...

Anyway Im sure youll enjoy it here more now.

[tracydani]

Welcome to the front lines [B][O][T]. Hope you haven't forgoten what it's like to travel coach.

I have also informed the team that I too will be quitting. Its been a crazy year for me, being a mod, getting banned, coming back as a member, being a mod again, and now going back to being a member.

To be honest, this job isn't as great as it used to be. I also wish to enjoy the board as a regular member from now on.

RTJ :)

[Keikan]

Even though your not leaving it feels like your leaving hmmmmm

(does this mean jobs are open?)

:o

And with VirtualBody1234 "Not on moderator duties" are we even going to have a mod team left at this rate. :unsure:

[shn]

It's funny some mods keep saying their going to be regular members for whatever reason but yet they still have thoose rediculously colored stars under their avatar.

What gives?

[tralalala]

ive seen you go from member, to moderator, to admin and now back to member...

quite an amazing person youve been BOT, and i do hope you stay around helping like we all know you love to do.


RESPECT :)


Rafi

[RGX]

You were always one of the friendliest and most helpful mods/admins in my opinion BOT, it's sad to see you go. Hope you'll continue to post around the forum. :)

[pol]

sorry to hear it [B][O][T], and cheers for all that help by pm. if i get stuck again i'll let you know :D

[muchspl2]

I didn't see this comming...
have fun

Sorry to see you go too RTJ. Although I've not posted much in the same parts of the board as you, the amount of support you got over the deletegate incident proves you're a good egg.

So ... some members in this thread have feigned surprise at the sudden mod exodus indicating this has been brewing for a while.

Would someone care to share the real reasons behind this?

I don&#39;t understand that.

Who would you suggest is "feigning surprise" and for what reason.

[DRACOJOE2]

well, I hope you both can enjoy yaself around here without the responsibilities of being a mod. I&#39;m sure that after awhile all the drama:argue: from some folks on here can get old. Anyway good luck to both of you and thanks for all the work you have done. :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Spicker]

you mods make us members feel special :lol:

Enjoy your holidays :D

so how was it like to be a mod? :01:

[Entity101]

Would someone care to share the real reasons behind this?

Many mods including myself have considered to resign at some point. Being a mod just isn&#39;t a fun job most of the time. Not to forget the time it consumes.

[Celerystalksme]

i would like to announce i am resigning of my future position of forum mod :D

im sorry but it will be too crazy for me and i will not have any time left to do it...

i hope you guys understand why i have to do this, but i think its for the greater good of the forum :(

Lotsa Love
Cely :music1:

[brenda]

:&#39;( I fear change

Its been a pleasure having you as mods [B][O][T] & RTJ, now you can enjoy all of the drama without any of the responibility :D

Cheers for that, I&#39;d guess that you&#39;re right too.

Now would be a good time for me to say thank you to the other mods for continuing with this most thankless of tasks, so thanks :)

[Spicker]

by the time this thread ends we won&#39;t have any mods at all leading to total CHOAS :lol:

so are we going to get new mods? :huh: :unsure:

I vote for anarchy.

Just name the edit button &#39;moderate&#39;.

Btw, good for you BOT.

[Snee]

Jag har aldrig förstått varför någon av er valde att acceptera hela mod-giget från början :blink: Verkar liksom vara väldigt mycket arbete för praktiskt taget ingenting. Hade nog av sånt den korta tid jag var administratör på ett annat forum.

Antar att du antingen är mycket snällare eller mycket dummare än vad jag är :P



I shall expect seeing more of you in the lounge now, buddy (BOT). :)

[DanB]

Such a shame

[[B][O][T]]

Thanks a lot everyone, much appreciated :beerchug:

BOT

[spelunker121]

You get props just by taking on the role of Mod......I would not have nearly the courtesy or patiance with people like me, ALWAYS asking for advice.....Take care, and welcome back to being a mere mortal&#33;

:beerchug:

[kaiweiler]

BOT and RTJ, I&#39;m not sad seeing you leaving your mod positions as you are bound to have a lot more fun here as regular members. So instead of being sad and feeling sorry for you like everyone else, I congratulate you :)
Good luck members :)

@shn
Being a "Forum Star" is a bit different from being a member. Besides the funny looking stars, we have certain privileges.

@Everyone Else
Thanks. :beerchug:

Frankly, you&#39;ve been the better of the moderators/administrators, BOT. A job well done&#33; ;)

Although Forum Stars can no longer perform Moderator functions, they still have full access to the Team areas, and can have input in any Team debates.

[muchspl2]

that would be cool, either that or we need more leaked team chat logs :lol:

[Rip The Jacker]

I knew someone would ask. :P

I can still visit the Team Chat. (Drop by every now and then to say hello)
I can still see members warning levels. (Neat)
I can still warn members. (I think this was accidental :lol: )
That&#39;s all I&#39;ve noticed so far..

Yeah, its a bit different...

EDIT: It seems I&#39;m still the Gameworld Mod, and I still have all mod powers within Gameworld. :unsure:

See that&#39;s a cool job, I would like to do that.

Input to discussions, without any power or responsibility.

Consider this my formal application. I don&#39;t even want the stars or cool name, it can be our little secret. :ph34r:

I&#39;m sorry being a mod can&#39;t be that hard.

Stay logical and everything falls into place.

For instance, if moderating takes too much time uhh...moderate less. :blink:

There are plenty of other mods to take up the slack (if they are around).

The world is not on your individual shoulders. It&#39;s the damn internet is all.

Besides I&#39;ve seen obvious crap on here stay on here for a lengthy amount of time before a mod caught but....we have members that hit the report button to send what the crap is right to you.

One mod that sometimes has done some illogical things but is very good at moving things around and closing, editing things is IKE (and way more than Movieworld).

have you ever been a mod??

people are mods at more than one forum too by the way...

i have resigned being a mod at 2 places because i have been working on my site (which hasn&#39;t been updated for a week because i tried to do too much at once...)

this is for everything about the board...and this is about the board and this was why it was posted...

yes there is a logical explanation for everything...so just go with the flow

if u don&#39;t like thing&#39;s in a post you can either let it go (go with the flow) or make a scene (fight the system)...

you shouldn&#39;t really comment or judge something that you have no idea about...

i know im being hypocritical but so is everyone else...so stfu 2 all :ph34r:

[tesco]

I also don&#39;t get why it&#39;s so stressful.

Instead of running around finding stuff to do, just go along your daily forum routine and when you see something wrong fix it. Make the board a better place.

[nostalgia]

To [B][O][T] and RTJ: Have a nice holiday and see you back as a member.
