I see we have at least two win this title.

Thanks Ajax and Waksupi for your years of hard work and effort as mods to keep this a place worth visiting.

Waksupi, it will not be the same without the green mod icon in your avatar. I hope this doesn't mean an end to your unique way of telling us to call down at times.

[JesterGrin_1]

Wait Waksupi was a Mod. :)

[bhn22]

But, but, but... we need guidance!

Lots of guidance.

Thanks for the even tempers and good humor guys.

[fryboy]

hmmmm...retirement ? fitting i suppose considering - hb ric !!!

indeed thanks to both for the thankless job well done ! may the next years be even more pleasurable ( with less work ! ;) )

[waksupi]

It's kind of nice to lean back, and put my feet up. I was on staff from day one. Now I can actually take time to read topics, and stir the bucket now and then. I believe you will find DeanD and Buckshot have also retired.

[cbrick]

So who's stepping up to fill your (snow) shoes?

Man, I hate the shadow.....

[DLCTEX]

Thanks for all you, Buckshot, and DeanD have contributed to this great site. And thanks to all who serve to make it possible. I have benefited greatly from your generosity.

Happy retirement Ric.

Mod retirement is at some point needed by all....do not be surprised if the occassional newB still asks you to push buttons you no longer have access to though.......it happened alot for me for some reason...hence the title drop.

[btroj]

Mike, you still know how to push buttons........

[fryboy]

umm most of the time ...stirring the bucket is best done from upwind :kidding:

[357maximum]

Mike, you still know how to push buttons........


But now I only push them when they reallllllllllly realllllly need pushing, or I am having an off day. :lol:

notice that .......no purple

[leeggen]

Congrats to the retiring mods. You all have worked hard for along time to keep peace and some order to this hugh family of unseen freinds.

Most days I am off or so my staff at work tells me....

[Sweetpea]

Many thanks for the cooler heads, takes a lot to be a MOD!

Brad


Choose to be off and embrace the insanity...give it a great big hug and smile....life is more fun that way,

........... maybe that is why I work solo alot....hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[btroj]

Oh, I do more than embrace the insanity. I am the poster child of insanity. You guys we my good side here! I'm actually far more sarcastic and quick whites than shows here. I can twist about anything said.

My wife feels bad for my staff and they feel equally bad for her.

I just refuse to grow up!

I just refuse to grow up!
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

[btroj]

Exactly.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

The only difference between Men and Boy's is the PRICE of their toys!

Ric good job, SENTENCE EXPIRED:)

[OBIII]

To all mods, current, past, and future. Thanks for your efforts in making this the premier site above all others.

[Blacksmith]

I would think that a Mod Emeritus would at least get some kind of special banner under their name. You know something with lots of scrambled eggs that say this old fa.. fellow has been put out to pasture. Like the gold watch and don't let the door hit you on the way out in business.

[AlaskanGuy]

Happy birthday Waksupi... Hope you had a great 60th....

[MaryB]

Happy retirement! I have been a moderator in a few places, way to much work for little recognition!

[a.squibload]

Oh great, now where are we gonna get lube grooves?

[300savage]

I'm betting the price of loob grooves will go up now, since he doesn't have that cushy Mod gig anymore.

[btroj]

I wonder if he was selling them low due to subsidies he got as a mod?

I see a run coming, I best stock up now.....

[Bad Water Bill]

That also brings back memories

[Lloyd Smale]

you guys must have done something right through the years. this is still one of them most civil sights on the net.

[762 shooter]

I knew it.

Doe Run and now Lube Grooves.

Armageddon is upon us.

Congrats on Mods surviving long enough to retire.

Yes it is. They do an amazing job of giving us enough rope to hang ourselves yet they never let us follow thru.

[smoked turkey]

A BIG thank you to the Moderators who work behind the scenes to keep this site the premier shooting related site on the www. +1 on some sort of special banner for those who have served us so faithfully. Thanks to all those who have and who continue to keep a watchful eye on things.

[Beau Cassidy]

Cpongrats. Both are very well deserved.

[TXGunNut]

Thanks for all you, Buckshot, and DeanD have contributed to this great site. And thanks to all who serve to make it possible. I have benefited greatly from your generosity.

+1! Thanks for doing a thankless job well.

Someone told me Buckshot is still moderator. I checked myself and it still says moderator on his avatar.

[btroj]

Maybe he didn't take the buyout?

[waksupi]

Can't say, I just knew he had retired.

[swheeler]

Can't say, I just knew he had retired.

He had a while back but shows super moderator again, poor guy probably just needed a break;)
