    Happy Anniversary of Assertn's Once-Modding

    I saw the announcement on the forum's main page and decided to pay homage. Congrats, Assertn.

    Have fun

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    It's not his birthday, David...

    Still, I'm not sure what one is supposed to write here. The dude hit the road without looking back (still coming back, though). Hmm... I hope you can live happily with your decision!

    I suppose like how one cries at both a wedding and a funeral, I smile at both obtaining and retiring modship...

    or something like that...ish?

    Yet more Assertn stroking, haven't you people had enough already

    This isn't anything like a wedding or a funeral though, really what the hell are we supposed to say here. You were once a mod congrats, but you're not one anymore too bad. Other than that not much has changed, you're still a great poster and one of the few people here I think I would actually like to meet.

    You could refresh my memory though, why are you not a mod anymore and would you consider taking up the position again because really you'd fit right in.

    Wow Abdula...that was....a surprisingly complimentary post coming from you

    The truth is that I retired cause I didn't want to have obligations to spend so much time in the forum. Now I mostly hang around here cause I get bored.

    Typical Mod life. Experienced that quite a lot. There are 2 reasons:
    - other people ostracize you when you're a mod.
    - if not, you'll eventually lose a bit of interrest for the forum and feel jailed due to the function

    There's also another one: you're almost forced to read everything... which is a huge burden considering not every post is a gem.. that's also a part of losing interrest.
