Stepping Down.
« on: September 06, 2008, 08:57:27 PM »
After a lot of hard thinking on the subject, I've decided that I'm in no position to continue moderating and organizing the MO boards. My work has consumed the better part of my life, and I've got other ambitions to chase. I had a lot of fun doing all this and I'm glad I got to meet so many new people.

I still plan on showing up to jams from time to time -- but I simply don't have the time or resources to be an active part of the leadership.

Perhaps a vote for new moderator is in order.

'Tis a sad, sad thing, but it was fun. Oh well, not like you're going to stop training for Parkour or anything, so there's that. If we're voting for the new mod then I do not wish to be a nominee. I have too slow of an internet connection, and too little time to use it, however, I will help as much as I can.

There are times when you want to break down and rage at the heavens. Don't. Stay calm, and let the emotions flood in, accept them and then rise above them. Never dwell. Don't fear or worry. Anything worth thinking about is worth talking about. And... Good luck.

If he has time to moderate, I would support that nomination, since we can't draft.

Thanks, guys!  I think I might like to be a moderator, but I don't really know what would be expected of me.  Yeah, sure, I could move and lock topics blah blah blah, but other than that I'm pretty much in the dark.

Actually, It sounds like you have it figured out.

I wouldn't really have a problem with it, then.  How do we go about getting it made official?

Thanks again, by the way!  It means a lot.  :)

Perhaps get a hold of Mark?  I don't know who else would have administrative access to assign moderators.
