MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
Some of you know that I was on hiatus as moderator for a while; I've decided to extend that vacation permanently. I love coming here and hanging out, but recently have been feeling like I'm enjoying things less because of that nagging feeling in the back of my brain that I should be moving this thread or closing that thread or stopping this or that fight. I am feeling like I don't have the interest (and in some respect, the authority) to stop fights between posters I barely know (or in some cases don't know at all).
I want to thank Russ and Kevin and the moderators for doing such a super job of keeping this ever-growing place as civil as they can. It is truly thankless work. And of course I want to thank the many, many members of EN World who go above and beyond the call of duty in their efforts to be good representatives of EN World here and on other forums. This is a really special place to me and you're the reason why.
"...show me a game where the roleplaying involves deep emotional experiences and making tough decisions in-character and experiencing vicarious unpleasantness and, generally, all the stuff that people like Ron Edwards insist is the very heart of roleplaying without which the activity has no meaning and is so much wasted time, and I'll show you me leaving the room..."
Whoa! I feel like the foundation is shaking or something. OK, I am glad you are sticking around. I am a trifle sad you are stepping down as a moderator, but your reasoning is sound. So, have fun and I will look forward to still seeing you around.

Try to imagine how we felt when he gave up the site.

nah, he will always be at least a little bit of a flamer to us.
Thanks for your hard work EN. and enjoy the visits.

I am sickened beyond belief. The half-orc wizard is obviously the best possible PC, and I only had to read 10 pages of the book to figure it out. D&D is dead to me! -- Mike Mearls
FWIW, I'm on the design team and I pretty much find WoW as fun and interesting as banging my head against a brick wall. -- Mike Mearls
you happen to say that 4E reminds you of the reasons you decided against a career as a special-Ed teacher--noted rpg author Darrin Drader
This is odd for me. Eric has always been my inspiration; every time I have to moderate, I try to do it in the same way he does.
Crap. Does this mean *I* have to retire, too?
Eric, thank you - doing this with you has been a blast. I'm just glad you're hanging around.

You'll be back. The siren-call of rascally forum posters doing bad things in the dark corners of the earth will call you to draw your shootin' iron and fight for justice in the lawless territories once more... some day...
Seriously, just because you aren't moderating or admin'ing any more doesn't mean you become a stranger, y'hear?

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.
