Title: Why I'm no longer a moderator
Post by: kev222 on January 21, 2004, 04:49:48 am

Hey Kev,

You were by far the best looking, funniest, most intelligent and most talented moderator, so why are you no longer a mod?

-An adoring fan

p.s. Marry me!?!

;-) So rather than reply to everyone individually, I thought I'd take some time to explain here. Hopefully this will satisfy your raging curiosity.

A few months ago it was decided that there were too many inactive Mods. Wonkies and me opted to step down as moderators because at that time we weren't around much. Joe is still not around a whole lot and although I am around a lot more these days, I still wanted to step down. So we both handed in our moderator accounts. The reasons I wanted to step down will take some explaining.

Nh.com hopes to be (and is) more than just a forum and because of this there are good reasons why I couldn't moderate the forum the way I personally would have liked to. That was perfectly fine, I can handle not getting my own way (especially when there are good reasons not to). But as a mod you have a responsibility to keep an eye on things, which means you can't put people on ignore and you have to read a lot of stuff you don't really want to read when you come to the board. Because of this, I found myself enjoying it here less and less and there not being a lot I could do about it. So I decided that I should quit for the sake of my own enjoyment of the forum. The grass is always greener on the other side and I know you'll all stop liking me because I'm no longer a hip & cool mod, so I'll probably live to regret it, but for now we'll see :-)

So that's the reason. I know you were probably hoping it would be a spectacular power struggle for control of nh.com resulting in me being fired. But it wasn't :-P

Well.. there WAS the big battle at Katia's secret underground layer.  But I think that was unrelated to you being fired.

Don't try to put up that hostile front with me Todd. Your PM was the one I quoted above. You aren't fooling anyone.

It's unrequited I assure you. In fact he knows full well that he can't attempt to communicate with me or come within 500 feet.

Well why not? I believe in edging my bets, so yes I'll marry you as well :) We'll have both weddings at the same time to cut down on costs. Si can have the ring on Mondays, wednesdays and Fridays and you get it on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays. Nothing's to good for my wives ;-)
