    Kitkat will still be around, but yes she did so much being a mod. Infact if it wasn't her going on vacation I would have never been a mod myself. Her direct manner of dealing with the people and issues that we other mods could not deal or agree with, made our days happier.

    Long live the kitty!


    I should note this with Kitkats resigning that I myself will be also giving up my Forum powers in August, noting that I will not be on much to really do much good.

    Not that anyone will care but may as say it

I'm finding myself spending less time around the forums, and just don't really have the enthusiasm for modding this crazy disfunctional community that I once did. I'll leave that to the younger crazier types. While it's lasted, it's been a blast though. I was really honoured to get that first pm from Ciber reading, "Want to be a mod?" to which I replied, "I don't think I'm mean enough to be a mod...." and he countered, "You don't have to be mean." Thus began a long and interesting era, and I've come to consider many of you good friends. Though I'm retiring, I won't be leaving gotwoot. I'll still be around for discussing anime with all of you, and let's not forget my beloved knitting thread!

    And many thanks to complich8 for a beautiful new custom title which I do not quite feel myself to be deserving of, but nevertheless I very much appreciate.

    See you around, gotwooters.
    Well it's not exactly full-time work...


    ...



    unless you're as hardworking as me of course!


    But yeah, good luck and all. Although I doubt you'll disappear completely...?
    CUPCAKES BABY!

    We have too many Mods already.

    Besides you are hardly a person that can mod, hell you can't even be humble enough to just drop it.

    Look at Spiderman. With great power comes great responsibility. Make BoC a mod and watch him flourish. If he becomes more egomaniacal, he'd fit in with the current group just fine.

    I also thought this was a get-rich-quick scheme, or that Kitkat had won the lottery. I don't have much experience dealing with you, but you seemed level-headed and fair the one or two times you told me to knock it off. Thanks.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Did you know that Dennis Rodman was a janitor and never touched a basketball until high school before he became a legend?

    And they say white men can't jump. Quite ironic that every ski jumper is Caucassian.

    Oh. This news wasn't one I was expecting, but I have to say it makes sense. KitKat never struck me as a person who would be willing to be in a position of responsibility and authority if she wasn't able to fully concentrate on it.

    Needless to say, your input into the modding of the forums will be missed, but judging from the posts of the other mods, it looks like you left a positive impression and legacy that will not soon fade and so your wise ways will continue to affect the decisions and policy of the staff members left behind also in the future.

    The exact same thing was going through my mind.

    Sad to hear that you won't be around much from now KitKat, but do check back once in a while ya?

    If she's not really leaving, then am I supposed to be sad?

    We'll miss your gentle moderating ways of baking cookies and withholding them as threats.

    Now that KitKat's not moderating moderators with a rational presence, I'm sure a new dark age will befall gotwoot.

    (as a side note, now that you're not spending time moderating, you need to bake more cookies)

    Thanks for all the encouraging words everyone! Yes, I will be around here still, so don't worry about me disappearing. I'm hoping to focus more on other things, such as getting back into photoshop, doing more knitting, and catching up on a few more anime series rather than worrying about the inner workings of gotwoot. I'll leave that to the pros already there, and whichever of you successfully climbs up to modship in the future.

    el_boss, it's not just a myth. And appendage would probably be a better word than limb. I have a picture in my knitting thread :P

    I prefer the word "limb" because penis falls under the appendage category and that's just awkward.

    Fingers are just fingers. Anything else sounds very wrong.

    You're not missing a thumb are you KitKat? That's really all that separates us from the animals.

    I'd like to second my nomination for the mod job. It could just be a trial run. I think I would surprise you all with my fairness and tenacity. Vote Animeniax.

    Alternatively, can we vote for the next mod? Then you pick the guy with the least amount of votes (probably me), because he will do the best job of keeping these jackals in line.

    We don't need another mod.

    "Those who do not follow, are doomed to lead" May be true, but I'd rather not have to watch the forum and new mods

    Besides Animeniax and BoC we wouldn't want you too see all those things we say about you behind your back.

    Tis a sad day indeed when Kitkat leaves the staff and forever deprives us of her level headed judgement and cookie baking powers. And we never even got her to build us an ube3r 1337 moderation laser!

    Im glad that you'll still be around though Kitkat. It would be total chaos if you left for good. You will be dearly missed in the mod lounge.

    Let's not turn this into a soap opera now. No such thing as dramatic irony on the internet.
