It's always a shame to see a good ship retire, even if it is a yankee one(jk). Anyways jokes aside, you'll be missed as a moderator Monitor. You did a damn good job as one, but with that being said it'll be nice to still see you around NS.

I edited a few issues during my time as a mod, and I hope to edit more in the future, so I'm requesting a transfer to issues editor rather than completely leaving the site staff.

You're actually someone I had on my radar as a long-term prospect if we ever needed more NSG mods when you weren't too busy with RL.
