Hi all. Yet another noob here! I promised myself I was just going to lurk and not register here, and not sign up for an anonymous email account, and definitely not sign any guestbooks or otherwise try to catch myself a lad. A week of lurking and lmfao at all your work, and I have done all the above :banghead:

Thanks for all the laughs so far, and I bow_down at the feet of Rookie303 who is the master of all slaps! Twisted Evil Hoping to learn lots more from everyone here before I start on my first bait. I'd be interested to know, as scorpiogal asked, whether fastmail strips the IP header?

You were a damn good mod, Eight. One of my favourites. Wink

Good luck and enjoy your well-earned "rest".

^^^^

No need to suck up anymore SOOI, she's not a mod. Just go ahead and start sucking up to me. My modship is definite now.

We will miss you eight!

Best of luck Eight! Have fun rediscovering real life.

Eight, you know you are my favorite mod! Now who will I look up too?

Good luck with everything, don't let it bring you down.

It will be difficult to not see Eight as I was really comforted seeing Eight on signing in. Now I have to look for a different comfort place here... Shocked

I am glad you will be sticking around. Must be why there are stickys... Wink

Thanks for all you have done and will do in the future.

RL has a way of smacking us around. I am glad to see that your retirement brought some others back [waves at Stargate from across the Gread Divide]. Very Happy

You've been a huge inspiration to me Eight.. thanks for your cool headed advice and guidance in the last year or 2. The perfect role model.

And besides, which other Mod would have tolerated being stalked like that? At least the custom title grew on me. Laughing

I hope we still see you from time to time my friend. But do enjoy your time away from the forums. Smile

Eight is my favourite number...............me sad. Crying or Very sad

I think I speak for everyone when I say bullocks. I understand the need for a life. I hope you do visit Eight. I miss our late night and early morning chats. I hope to see you around.

The most annoying part is having to find a replacement. Shame we don't have many bright people around and all of the good ones are mods already.

Very Happy

Trying to piss people off here Question

Nope, not even if it paid a million a day.
I respect all mods for what they do here, but I couldn't do it myself, so I have to admire the people that are willing to do what needs to be done here. bow_down

One thing I noticed though, when I came here some two years ago, there was a army of mods now we're back to half of that if not less, that must be a high pressure on the shoulders of the remaining/new ones. One more reason to try stay within the forum rules and not to screw up too much.

Okay NN now you can beating

me

Edit: suggestion, could we give the retiring mods the tittle *Retired Moderator* as baiting guru just doesn't do them right?

Sorry to hear that you are covering up the red banned button and devoting more time to RL but I'm glad that you will still be around.

I'll really miss you back there, Eight. Please don't be a stranger. Sad

2 mods in one day? Must be something in the water... Shocked

Hope you find the time to stop by often, I learned a lot from your posts.

Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 1:59 am

Best of luck to you Eight.

Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 2:07 am

You've done a great job as a mod and you deserve a little holiday if you want it. I'm glad to know you'll still be around.

Best of luck to you.

Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 2:09 am

ATE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Will you still drop by the Bawls residence a few times a week like you used to?

I will miss you tremendously. I wish you the best of luck in what ever it is you are doing.

Man.....that just sucks...... Sad

Gonna miss you Eight!

Hey, the moderators get paid right? Where do I send my resume?

Cheese Louise, go away for a week and a half and things change!

Eight, I wish you well in whatever endeavors you undertake and I hope that you will drop in from time to time.

I'm

Thank you so much, everyone, for all your kind words. Very Happy

Everyone except spot, that is - that was a dastardly trick, and one I dare say you'd not have tried if I still had access to the buttons. Mad

The RL stuff is all good, for those who thought it might be bad news. And I'll still be here as much as possible, and happy to help wherever I can. Smile

Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 1:29 pm

Ah, this means no further tampering with my title, then? Wink

You've done a sterling job, Eight. Hope you can still stick around and raise hell with the lads.

Thank you VERY much for all your help over the years Eight, and you'll be very much missed Smile

I suppose that means I'll have to get my finger out and start doing more stuff here now!

Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 5:19 pm

Best of luck, Eight! (Real life is over-rated Very Happy
