Moderator Emeritus
Ha! I knew that'd get you attention!
As many of you may have noticed I have not been around the boards nearly as much for a while now. In fact, for over a year I have barely posted to the boards except for my story hour* (and even that has not been updated for over a month), checking in to moderate threads when asked and to "patrol" some - but even that has become more infrequent. I am sure some of the newer folk around here have probably even wondered who the hell I am to be a mod.
I even tried to quit once last fall and Morrus wouldn't let me.
In that time I have really been concentrating on other aspects of life, in particular my singing/song-writing and some other (non-gaming) writing. I still play D&D every other week, but I have not even worked on my Aquerra Player's Guide in over a year, and as most of the old-timers know, at one time that project was the focus of my life. **
Anyway, this is just to announce that I'll be stepping down as a full-time moderater. Having been around so long, I have reached legendary moderator status, so Morrus and Pirate Cat have seen fit to allow me to keep my Moderator Decoder Ring - so when I am around if I see trouble I can leap in to save the day, but I won't be in active status (kind of like an Honorary Member of the Avengers - like Black Panther or someone like that - who is too busy most of the time ruling Wakandia).
So soon my name will be dropping off the moderator list and Morrus will be announcing a new mod to take my place (don't bother asking him for the spot, it is a sure way not to get it - and honestly, all the glamour doesn't make up for being punched in the face by the Absorbing Man all the time - oh wait, this isn't the Avengers - skip that).
Thanks to everyone who made being a moderator a treat and nuts to those that didn't - and special thanks to Eric Noah who first saw fit to make me a Story Hour Mod, and to Pirate Cat who suggested making me an all-around super mod guy when Morrus took over (yes, I've been here that long) - and of course to Morrus for not getting into any bar brawls the two times he has visited me in NYC.
See ya in the funny papers.***

** Though in a way I am glad I never finished (though I got damn close) b/c now with 3.5 I have so much to redo.
