Xash has a spiffy new job and will no longer be able to help us out. We thank him for his exemplary service and hope that he’ll be able to at least visit from time to time. He will be able to work with us on the last of the Charter Member renewals, so if you have something pending with him please do what you need to do, he’ll be able to help you on that. (I’ll take it up from there, so talk to me if you have any questions/problems.) And we have a new Administrator – Gfactor is our newest admin. He has a brand new pair of jackboots here so y’all give him a little time and space to figure out how to walk the runway with them. ---

Oh, man. **xash** , I wish you well in your new endeavor, but you surely will be missed as a mod. Also, congrats on the new jackboots, **Gfactor**. 😃 ---

I’m still waiting on a return PM regarding the whole Charter Member thing. Should I re-PM **xash**? Or PM you, **Tuba**? Or just hold my friggin’ water and someone will get back to me? ---

Thanks, **xash** , for everything… especially all the behind the scenes stuff that never gets noticed or appreciated. Congrats, **GFactor**. If you were a horse I’d parlay you every time. ---

**xash** my man, do remember to keep kicking ass! I’ll always be in your debt for providing me with the service in my signature (which I won’t actually show in this thread, it seems, not right). Now in other news, **GFactor** does this mean your bribery rate has gone up? Or is this supposed to be discussed via PM? ---

Ooh that’s a shame, **xash** – you’ve been very helpful and will most definitely be missed! Best of luck to you, and I hope your new job is both rewarding and fulfilling. Thanks for everything! And all hail **Gfactor**. I sensed something was up when “Moderator” suddenly disappeared beneath the “50% less snark” in his user title. One of my favorite mods: reasonable, funny, and unflappable. Congrats and good luck to you, too! ---
