Changes in the Moderator Team - Hard Goodbye Edition

[ConsoleWedding]

Aw, man.

Avron, you rock. Even back when I was just lurking I thought you were pretty rad.

[Sav]

Sucks to see you go, Avron. You've been a very helpful mod, and It's been great having you around to be one.

[philfredobob]

huh. i suppose every Moderator has to go.

its too bad, you were a good one.
despite the fact that your eternal niceness may have got on my nerves sometimes, its the sign of a very good person. (or maybe some kind of serial killer, but im going to go with option 1)

thank you for the work you have done. and welcome back into the ranks of the regular members.

[Leilah]

I'm sad to see you out of silver, Avron, but I'm glad you're not leaving altogether.

[HatofMadness]

Finally.

[ClockworkCadaver]

Best wishes to you, Mama Bear!

[the Savage Hippie]

Avron has left the battleship. I predict chaos.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

The fact that Avron went from moderator to admin to average forumgoer while I was on my sabbatical is simultaneously awesome and terrible. As I recall, you were the one of greatest mods ever. <3 Sad to see you go.

[The Tom]

It's not as bad as it sounds. Stepping down, I mean. You suddenly find that with all the extra free time, you can really try to find your true self.

Who am I kidding, I've put on like ten pounds since I stopped. Banning all those spam bots and remembering to leave notes with your edits was great exercise. So go the gym or something. Seriously. I'd hate for you to get fat.

And I'd also recommend that you practice getting angry for once. It's healthy.

Good luck with life Avron. I don't think we've spoken much recently but I'll see you around nonetheless.

Having been a long time lurker and a short time member, Ihave had relatively few "run ins" with the Mighty S'wit. But my observation of "discussions" and outright arguments have lead me to this: you are a kind-hearted person with only the best intentions for both the forums and its members. Thank you for all your hard work long hours in making the forums the pleasant place they are today. You will be missed. P.S. - A thanks to all the mods for hard work. You folks do a GREAT JOB!

[Avron the S'wit]

Thank you all for the kind words: it means a lot.

[Will Zurmacht]

A past and continuing exemplar of the boards' better angels.

Vive le S'wit!

[ZeRoc]

And now Matt is the only remaining member of the Mods from when I joined. Things have changed so much. (I'm sure the oldies are now thinking that I'm a fool.)

Wait, now that means that I don't even have the option of saying that I'm actually a modministrator... dang it.

[Hissien]

Avron I'm going to miss the silver coins, they were a good look for you. Have fun with your real life stuff and thanks for all you have done for us, and me personally.

[Werozzi]

I leave for a month and you're gone?
amin, we'll miss you mother-like moderation, oh great Avron.

[Check-Nate]

one word..... NOOOO!!!!

[Andere]

Mother Hen, you were originally my pick for the moderator team, and you've certainly done a lot more than I ever managed to do. But life goes on...

And to members, most former moderators still return participating in the forum. It's not a death sentence, only a mark of change. Yet, the mark is twain.
