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!

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)

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!

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

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

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.

'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.
