    :pac:

    Well, it had to happen eventually! Some might even say it should have happened well before now ;) Whatever the case may be, it's time for me to step down as mod of C&H. I've had an amazing 16 months moderating the forum. Plenty of highs, very few lows and anything that did challenge me was something to learn from.

    I just feel now that the forum needs a new driving force, and someone new at the reins should help keep up the energy C&H needs. I got talking to KnifeWRENCH and Piste about three weeks ago. Between us we came up with a long list of potential candidates, which we eventually cut down to a short-list of three names. In reality, it could have been any one of 15 different posters. However, a choice has FINALLY been made, and the Admins will be pushing the buttons to take away my powers in the next few hours/days. The new moderator should be in place by next Wednesday at the latest, but could have his new powers by tonight if he's lucky. ;)

    As such, I'd like to be the first to welcome Ginja Ninja as the new member of the Clearasil & Hormones forum mod-team. Give him a while to get used to his new responsibilities. He's got a great forum here to pick up as his first modship, and two great co-mods to help him out.

    Congrats Ginja Ninja!

    This does mean...that you're not mod anymore? :(

    *runs of crying*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Thanks IO for the modding you have done for the C&H.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster

    It wouldn't be that hard to guess at least 10 of those on the list. All the mods that post regularly then a few regulars (I couldn't have been included because of the amount of infractions, warnings / bans I have had)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,972 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    I'll still be around, posting as often as I can. :) Also, people can still PM me about stuff whenever they'd like a chat.

    It's funny, I was still C&H mod when I started typing the OP, and it had changed by the time I posted it! :D

    Also, unknown, we tried to focus on bringing in new people, so there were no current mods high on our list.

    On a serious note; a huge thanks to IO and everyone else,I'll try and not mess this up.You've been a great mod IO and we, quite literally, owe this forum to you.

    [P.S: So many new buttons :D]

    Congrats Ginja, and gg IO for modding up 'til now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,919 ✭✭✭Grindylow


    'Gratz on the new job Ginja! Glad to see there's no recession in C&H and we can still afford a new mod! I hope you negotiated a good rate? >.> :P

    Also: DAYDAY IO! Please come visit C&H 'cos yano otherwise how are we going to feed the birds? :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭kev9100


    Awwww... I've only been posting here recently but I've always thought Insect was a great mod. Hopefully he'll stick around as a poster.


    Who else is curious who was on the list?:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,383 ✭✭✭Aoibheann


    IO's been an absolutely amazing mod (seriously, you guys have no idea how much work himself, Piste and KnifeWRENCH do), and it really does take a lot for me to compliment him.. He'll tell you himself, he's ALWAYS wrong in my eyes. :D

    'grats Ginja, he'll be a tough act to follow so best of luck. :)

    Grand bit of moderating there IO. It's too bad Ginja went and abused his powers by changing his avatar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,109 ✭✭✭QueenOfLeon


    What a powerful looking new avatar you've got there....:P

    Well done Ginja!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    IO, don't leave, you bastard!



    Wilkommen Ginge :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭Arcade Panda

    Well done Ninja!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,472 ✭✭✭highlydebased
