Dowenger: Retired

[yanbuzz]

Hey man!! What's going on? can't you just say F""K it to whomever is pushing you to leave? Don't surrender so fast...At least stay in the place. You did help a lot of newbie and did your part in FK. You should not go away.....

[kb1827]

Sorry to hear that you are leaving moderating. Just don't retire from the boards, man .

yeah i was wondering this as well but figured it was private, otherwise he would have mentioned the reason

I thank you all for your unconditional support. It is now been cofirmed that I will be retired as a moderator.

I plan to stick around, and realy put all of my efforts into making this community a better place!

But wouldn't you be able to do that better as a mod??

is that will be, or want to be??? i agree with upnorth, you may as well stay a mod, but just cut back on your duties... i'm sure it'd be cool if you cut back on your moding hours, or maybe i'm way off on this one

I think you get a bit more comment when the title moderator is next to your nick...?

So I think you should respect his choice, sad to hear this but...he made his choice

[Lauradot]

Oh, thats a shame.

Well, GL with whatever you do to fill those hours!

Wait.. are you sure its worth the trouble of changing your footer?

Keep your chin up Dowenger....Being a Mod in FK is a priviledge and one that I personally ejoyed very much myself.

However your'e to be admired for wanting to "step down" for whatever reason . FK is a community, and the Moderators are a team, and I have to say they worked tremendously well together when I was there, and I`m sure they havent changed.

Good luck, Remember this is an internet community, use your free time to do worthwhile things with your "real" life thats where "Real" satisfaction and Contentement come from...

yeah it would be really stressful being a moderator at times. if things go wrong, you're to blame. you have to watch over everyone and decide what's okay and what's not okay. you have to watch what you say, because you're a mod and will be flamed if you say something wrong. you can't start/participate in fights, you have to resolve em being an imaginary moderator is much more fun

Very true - prolly the best way of putting it I have read yet.

Graham - I emailed you and as aria says - its a sad day but I also respect your decision.

Hopefully you arent gonna stop posting cause that Really would be a great loss - but I wish you luck and good fortune in whatever happens later on in life - and you alwsy can email me
