    A great moderator (better than I ever was) and expert on TV + Satellite too.

    (p.s. I'm not back. This is a special case)

    What happened?

    Byte will be missed.

    Two great contributors gone in a short space of time - very unfortunate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,817 ✭✭✭Charles Slane


    Cheerio Byte. Thanks for all the work you've done!

    This is another black day for this forum when another great mod is gone best of luck Byte you will be sadly missed .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,341 ✭✭✭✭Tony


    Byte thanks for everything my friend. I'm hoping this is unrelated to Watty's decision to leave?

    Desktop PC Boards discount code on https://www.satellite.ie/ is boards.ie

    not you too Byte, you have been an inspiration to us all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭pbirney


    All the very best Byte. You'll be missed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 574 ✭✭✭PacMan


    I remember when Byte first joined this forum, he was Irish Blimp.

    Byte and Watty leaving, both of you will be missed.

    The ICDG forum, down through the years, we did many a campaign for ITV, BBC on the EPG etc etc, and maybe we made a difference, maybe not. But we all had fun and helped each other on the way. Thank you so much Byte. Thank you also Watty.:D

    The two best boardsies are gone, and now its full of pinko lefties!

    I think I'm off!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,325 ✭✭✭✭Dozen Wicked Words


    Loved reading Byte and Wattys to the point info, always very helpful. Will be very sadly missed. How much of a bribe would it take to get you both back, I have 3 or 4 packets of Sherbet Dip Dabs with your names on them.:)

    Jesus, you have a great memory! :eek: :D I had forgotten that myself.


    Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

    For reasons I won't go into, I've decided to hang the mod boots up and step back.

    I'll still be lurking in the midst and possibly posting from time to time.

    Thanks again.

    Best of luck to ya!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭200motels


    Best of luck Byte, I've only been on the boards a short while, but the info was second to none.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭ynotdu


    Thanks byte:) Your posts DID always stand out!
    what would it ALL be about if we did not show our thanks to mods and other members?
    nice to see a post from you again Watty albeit a once off.
    thank YOU for highlighting that byte has left as a mod so i could thank him:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭slegs

    /me jumps on Bytex :D

    The best thing to come out of Donegal since Rory Gallagher. :p

    This forum (and indeed the Television forum we used to mod together) owes you a lot of credit. Over the past 8 years :eek: you have certainly played a massive part in the success of the ICDG/C&DTV forum here & helped me out a few times too.

    A big thank you from me. Best of luck lad. :)

    Well, sorry to see you go. always enjoyed your contributions, common sense , first rate technical knowledge and sense of humour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭Finne1993


    I'm a relative newcomer to posting on Boards but have been an avid reader this past 2 or 3 years and for me Byte always stood out as a very helpful, fair, unbiased and uncomplicated Mod.

    A few other Mods occasionally went on power trips but not Byte, without doubt he was one of the good ones and will be sorely missed but thankfully I notice he's still posting and hopefully he'll continue to help answer and explain the many many queries posted up on this brilliant forum.

    Best wishes in your semi (hopefully thats all it is!!) retirement

    F.
