So long and thanks for the fish

Sheep have a varied diet, fish is on the menu too :) USS Monitor catches them for the rest of us sometimes :D

That said, I'm leaving moderation. It's been a nice, exact four years. But lately I had some RL hickups, and the motivation is not there anymore (and neither is the time). So from what was essentially a break (from especially Game Moderating), I now quit. Maybe I'll find something else to do on NS, maybe not. We'll see. I don't even know myself. But those feeder regions look very interesting :P

I always liked to be able to make my own conscious choices. And this seems like a good moment for me (though such things are probably never a good moment for others). But that should not distract in the end. Rather this way than completely burned out. Maybe in a few years, things change in my life, I have not burned my bridges :)

Do not start chanting "Four more years! Four more years!". This is NS Moderation, not the US Presidency :P

Four more...oh wait.

Thank you for your service!

Four more years, four more years!

But still, it is kind of sad to see you stepping down from moderation, and hope that the RL hickups don't stop your time of fun here.

Four more years! Four more years!

In all seriousness though, I'm gonna miss you and your damnable puns D:

Here's hoping that whatever is plaguing you IRL can be over and done with soon!

I always viewed you as one of the more rational moderators. Take care.

4 more years ! 4 more years !

Still, thanks for everything! Your sheepish (pun totally intended) ways will be missed.

So does that mean you'll have a different title now? I remember seeing an "ex-moderator" before, so... I'm just curious.

All the best with your RL, whatever or wherever it will take you. :D

Aww, please don't go, the football thread would be less exciting without you. :(

He's leaving moderation, not the forum. It is entirely possible that he shall remain with us in a more humble form.

If you're sticking around, thanks for being a mod etc.

If you're vanishing for a while, thanks for the script - was the main way how I learnt to 'code' (more fiddle), books etc. aren't as good as the real thing. Had a massive impact on both NS and RL for me, so good luck with whatever you end up doing, and thanks again.

It's been a wild ride, that's for sure. Godspeed, you furry mammal!

Here's hoping that you enjoy your 'retirement'... and hoping, also, that you do stay active in other aspects of NS...

I await Some Point In The Future, when Blaat returns as Incognito McNationface or something like that and winds up in moderation again... :P

But regardless, best of luck in your return from moderation to just being another one of us. We'll miss you.
