Yep, I’m stepping aside as a mod.
There’s no juicy, scandalous reason so disappointed conspiracy theorists must be satisfied with faked moon landings. It’s been a blast and I’ve enjoyed the hell outta the gig. But five years is a good run and this will give me some extra time to take care of stuff that I’ve successfully procrastinated for ages. Like actually finishing my dining room, though I’ve become rather attached to the scaffold that’s loomed in the middle of the room for a mere (gulp) half-decade.
Besides, I kept telling myself that work (the real job that pays the bills) would settle down. HA! Now that was a rosy little delusion. Work pressures have increased, if anything, and it’s gotten harder and harder to carve out enough time to do a decent job of modding. I’ve had to take too many temporary hiatuses as a mod to cope with work emergencies and projects. That isn’t fair to the board, the members or my stellar, long-suffering co-mods.
Grim reality just finally slapped me right upside the chops, damnitall. Enough denial, already. This will feel very strange for a while because I’ve really loved modding here. But it’s just TIME, damnit; enough feeble excuses and rationalizations. Here’s the bullet; gotta bite it. The Dope and Dopers are a genuine hoot and deserve my best, not just make-do-and-hope-it’s-enough gasps.
I’m not leaving, just stepping aside, so this isn’t farewell. For anyone who hates my fascist guts (and where the hell were you when my rank for Pittings stayed in the damned cellar, hmmm), I will still be posting so neener, neener.
Hot damn. ::light dawns, however belatedly::
I may be able to post just for fun now once in a while!
[sub]And as a feeble last act, I posted this in The Pit because it’s about the board and because it was (sniffs) my forum, so it’s where most folks would logically look for it.[/sub]
