Retirement

Hello gentle boardsfolk. This is one of those meandering posts full of fluff. The important part is in bold.

Nine years is a long time. It's nearly a decade. It's also 3 times 3. But I digest.

I, for reasons unknown, especially to myself, have drifted away from the boards more than a moderator should. I have told myself that I am taking a backseat to the excellent moderators of the Games category, and considered myself backup during the time when most of them are asleep.

But the reported posts are getting on my nerves, especially from the ****ing poker forum. And especially from that stupid asshole Roundtower who reports ****ing everything!

I will still be around, I will attend the odd boards beers, but I must face the fact that the addiction I once had to boards is gone.

But I must acknowledge the reality that my life has been transformed by this website, this community of communities. I have made friends for life here and have also gotten laid. What more could I ask for?

I don't know.

All I do know is that allowing myself to remain a moderator when I don't visit boards regularly would be hypocritical and wrong. The people of boards deserve better.

So, without further twaddle, I hereby resign as moderator from all the forums I currently moderate, effective immediately. I made my mind up on this months ago and have merely been stalling in case moderators got some sort of share deal if boards got sold. Irony demands that this happen next week.

I would like to thank the Admins (glory be their names) for creating boards and holding fast to their principles during the decade that boards has been in operation. I would also like to thank the moderators of the Games Category for being so good, as to make me redundant anyway. I would especially like to thank Nekkidbibleman and Monument who have carried on the spirit of the Games forum.

I have one last request. The reported posts from the poker forum should not be sent to the Category Moderator. In fact, the Poker forum does not belong in the Games forum. It is culturally a million miles away from the rest of the Game category. Sort that **** out, for the love of god.

(without further twaddle eh?)

Cheery bye

Such drama. Says it all about you really.
Sanity and impartiality restored. Finally.

I'd noticed you hadn't been posting as much. All things must come to pass.

Farewell, oh infinitely wise moderator of The Cuckoo's Nest.
Your "Stupidity Filter" thread was one of the best I've ever seen on boards.
I'll miss your sarcastic bastardy putdowns and completely random babbling.

Thanks for the effort AMP. I hope to see you posting more now that you are unburdened.

Sorry to see you go Amp. You brought real personality and humour to boards. It'll be a little duller around here without you.

Thrill

:eek::eek:

Good luck amp.

I dont think he's completely leaving, as I understand it he's stepping back from Modding due to irregularity of visits.

One of the best mods we've had on Boards and pretty much personally responsible for TCN which, when I created it, I only had one Mod in mind for it.

So much more I could say but I wont... everyone deserves a retirement.

De mod and then Up to Smod. That would be a decent Golden Hand shake.

Oh, get off your high horse, The_Rigger wants it back! Sanity is greatly over-rated.

I can forward on the reported posts from the poker forum if you want or give you a weekly synopsis?

Best of luck, Amp.

Can we be like JD and Dr. Cox in Scrubs wherein your comical pretense of hating me climaxes in my unbanning from the entire games category and a mutual unspoken feeling of love?

I could, just as easily have made them comments as well, but I decided not to, and to give amp a good send-off at least, but I can't say I dissagree.

I, too, found amp to be an absolute w@nker, and indeed amp found me to be a total dumbass. But thats the way life goes I suppose.

I remember back in the day of being a n00b, I got banned for life from the TCN because I posted in the stupidity filter, but in no place whatsoever did it say I was going to get banned if I posted there. (BTW - turn on your sarcasm detectors for that paragraph).

Still waiting for that PM from amp to tell me I'm banned.

At 1st ... :eek:

Now ...


Bye amp, will always remember putting makeup on you at my first beers!
