As of tonight, I finally stepped completely down from being a moderator, after being a moderator for 3 years as of last month!

It was helluva fun at times, helluva growth-inducing at other times, and a helluva lot of great lessons learned. Some pains involved at times, the pain that makes you stop and grow from (and also makes you wanna slap some people until you yourself learn that growth lessons

)!

But like a lover that you aren't going to marry for life, it was time for me to step down and let other fine, magnificient people take over and get their own growth out of being a moderator!

I loved the job for a long time, I'm so grateful I got to do it for such a long period of time, and now I'm free to move that energy and time in other directions and areas! Wooooo-Hooooo!

Time to celebrate my return to civilian life!!!

Welcome to the common people

I am very happy for you and love those expressive row of faces. (the icing on the top of your comment) Thanks for your service but I have a feeling you will not be able to stop yourself from moderating.

Is it considered bad form to use a thread like this to pad my post count?

Wax Frog · 10-12-2011, 10:03 PM

As close as I am, it's really high time for a final push

I was sad to have to say goodbye to the Jaguar that came with the position.

I find the personal masseurs especially exhausting.

(We really need a creepy eyebrow wiggling smiley.)

I was once a mod on another forum, and yes, the rush of no longer being one is incredible. Kudos.

OK, what if I up the ante and say that I've long thought you have the look of a kick-touché

Musketeer?

Twirl your mustache with one hand, wield a rapier with the other, and you're all set

[Edit: No, you don't have to wear pink!

Plenty of good food, like spam casserole, spam lasagna, spam burgers . . .

A few years ago there was this lady mod on an adult chat room . She would ban me for no reason , a few hours later lift the ban . She used the nic. manhunter , was in Tronto , Canada . I guess I reminder her of an ex hub. A few times it would of been nice to face her and ask her what the hell did I ever do to you ? I have loged on that chat room a few times , I have no idea where she is now. desert rat

What's the best thing to do when leaving a job?

Taking a vacation!

(I'm requesting a 2 week vacation)

I must be losing my edge
