Moving on soon; searching for replacement

Oluseyi Sonaiya · 2003-08-23T22:35:18

My interests are shifting and I''ve decided that it''s time for me to move on. I may still occasionally visit GameDev once I do move on, but not frequently enough to warrant remaining a moderator of any sort. As a result, I want to canvass opinions for a replacement moderator for this forum from the people who frequent it the most. I''d like to say that moderating this forum has been an extremely enjoyable experience, completely lacking the problems and difficulties of other boards on this site. Discussion is relevant, on-topic and very courteous and I often have to do no more than scan thread titles once every few days. I appreciate it, especially given the contentious nature of many other Unix-related boards across the ''net. So, the floor is open. Please state whom you wish to nominate along with one or two justifications. At week''s end I will close this thread, sift through the nominations and forward the top 3, in my estimation, to Dave (who is not aware I''m doing this, actually; he is aware I want to move on, though). Thanks.

He already moderates the horse forum, the only forum with less posts than Andrew Russells Music and Sound

You didn't even check that

Consoles, PDAs, and Cell Phones, Scripting Languages and Game Mods, Software Engineering, Article Proposals and Requests, Hands-On Interactive Game Development, GameDev: Arena, Cone3D, NeXe, Real Soon Now. Not to mention any *ahem* other forums.

I checked and many of these forums have had *less* posts in the last 100 days than the Mountain Climbing and Horses forum. There were 13 threads in the last 100 days in that forum and much less in Real Soon Now, NeXe (I don't even know what those are about), etc.

And I wonder how many threads there are in this forum (hint, hint, any moderators want to tell me).

Nope.

We also like to refer publicly to a certain Forum That Does Not Exist, but that''s just another moderator mystery that you may never learn.

Thanks, guys, for all the suggestions and endorsements. I''ll be closing this thread tomorrow, so get any final nominations in quick!

NOOOO!!! DON''T GO!!! I LOVE YOU OLUSEYI!!!

But if you have to go, then I guess Null and Void would make a good replacement. And at least visit often!

I like the DARK layout!

I nominate a large, heavily armed man to handcuff Oluseyi to the computer so he can''t leave.

Failing that, NaV should be able to do a pretty good job.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Null and Void''s got my vote too. His knowledge is good and as far as I''ve seen he''s always polite and friendly.

See ya man. You were a cool mod. I think Null and Void truly does deserve it. I nominate him.

Well, thanks to everyone for all the positive reviews on my time as a moderator and as a (very) active member of this community. I won''t be going that far; I''ll probably still contribute to the forums every now and then, plus I''ll stop by the IRC channel, too. And I''ll be contributing in a few other less visible ways.

Thanks for the nominations. The frontrunners have been forwarded to Dave and the other moderators, and I think we''re close to having a consensus decision. Expect the switch to be made very soon.

Thanks once again. And, probably for the last time...
