rumour ??

thebaz

have i been reading too much between the lines ??

rymus

I'm afraid you'll have to elaborate on that... Unless the forum has become like a borg collective and we can all read eachothers thoughts all of a sudden...

Now that would make for some interesting thoughts LOL & I want the laser sight on my left eye please

So, go on Barry, do elaborate!!

rymus

interesting you should say that mike.. I've just watched a very informative video on how to make a destructive laser pointer from DVD writer parts.

We are the Borg.
Resistance is futile.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
Your culture will adapt to service ours

rymus

Not much of a rumour tbh...

Naw I'm retiring. Had enough of enough. I've always been a mere mortal like everyone else. If anyone saw me as anything else... well, I guess that would explain why people began crossing the street to avoid me.

ok now that its official, i'll thank you for modding this place pretty damn fairly , well done and enjoy the retirement -- i'have another rumour who might be taking over , but i might get banned if i'm wrong ... anyway well done Ryan

latchiko

Sorry to hear that, you did a great job! Hopefully you'll still add the usual input of wisdom and humour! And the beshta luck to your successor..

And I thought people did that because you're from Cork.

Hopefully you'll stick around to add your photographic contributions.

As for successor ... should we start a betting table??

Yep - I was thinking that too - so who is the new boss ?

kjt

Job well done !

Thanks

elven

The end of an era

I think everyone should promise to be extra nice to whoever is going to look after this place...

Eirebear

Yep, cheers rymus....

have a virtual carriage clock and some virtual book vouchers from all on the photography forum

rymus

Cheers folks.. Rest assured that I've left the place in very good hands... whenever the admins get around to promoting those very good hands

I'll also second elven's comment that people should be extra nice to the new mods. This place is a bit of a jungle at the best of times; It's not the easiest job to be dropped into.

In case the rumour mill takes on a life of it's own, I'd also like to add that I retired, I wasn't fired Also, I handpicked the mods to ensure the forum wouldn't be turned over to the first nutcase that offered their modding services.

irrespective of whether people like or dislike what you have or havent done - good luck being back with us "lot"

You started this thread, you must have some insider information. So, I'm not taking bets from you. LOL.

*Sobs silently in corner*

Thanks for putting up with us for so long Ryan Personally I think you did a great job, thankless as it was. Fair play to whomever has the balls to take over. I have my suspicions on that front, and if its who I think it is then

Oooo its like Eastenders!

I'd prefer if it was like Lost. Except I bet I'd be one of those extra, expendable characters that gets kidnapped by the Others

Battlestar gallactica ftw ! (we'd all have vipers ! )

sineadw

But if it was like lost then we'd all have NO idea what was going on, but would pretend otherwise.. actually.... Hmm...

Can I be one of the blonde cylons?

rymus

ffs, if this was Lost I'd be the most agressive and mentally unstable 'Other'. Thanks be ta jaysus it isn't Lost...

elven

Bloody cylons... grrr.

Paulw

Grrrrr ... in a bad way ... or ....

:eek:

thebaz

it reminds me of the formation of the next Irish government ...

promises of total commitment

denianls

deafening silences

oh , and brown paper bags

rymus

that's brown envelopes... Ooops, I've said too much

Paulw

I'll gladly accept any brown paper bags (filled with Euro notes).

irishcrazyhorse

Sure if were going to loose a cork man then I say we take on a student
They will both look the same and as we all know,smell the same

rymus

Sex change - fine - but switching to Nikon, that's a bit drastic now!

No chance. I'm not that stupid. And remind me not to play poker with you, you'd probably have the deck stacked. LOL

Ohhh ... you are soooo ruggedly handsome ... but I could never go for a Nikon user or for that matter a PI Mod!!!

Even I have standards ...

rymus

I'm sure they'd sooner mod you than me over there so I've nothing to worry about there
