Morticon Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 To all the awesome members of the best 40k board on the web, It's with an incredibly heavy heart that I have to announce to my fellow battle brothers that, after around 15 years of service, I will be stepping down in my role as moderator of the Blood Angels forum. The decision is something I've been toiling with for a few years now, and is not something I have taken lightly. I won't be going anywhere!! And I'm not leaving the board or the hobby!! But I'm so rarely on and even more rarely contributing that I don't feel I am honouring the role of a moderator or doing due diligence. There were periods in my tenure where I was on for HOURS a day - unfortunately now, days go by without me even logging on - and I do not feel that is fair for the development and sustaining of a healthy forum. If memory serves, I will have been the 3rd Mod to the BA forum, and the fourth mod of the BA forum to step down - The OG, Brother Solar, being the first lost to the warp, followed by OwlandMoonguy and then Brother Jazzman. I don't want this to sound like a "goodbye speech" - because as I said, I do plan on hanging around. But I would like to take the opp to thank everyone for the awesome support they've shown over the years and for all the efforts and contributions to making the BA forum a truly welcoming, unique, safe, engaging and positive space online - especially in a time (and space) where there can be so much toxicity. I wish the awesome, active and diligently working Jolemai all the best of luck with the forum, and I will continue trying to contribute where and when I can. Thank you everyone! Much respect.

appiah4 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Thank you for being so awesome for so long Morticon. For what it's worth, I really appreciated the time and effort you put into this board, and how you put up with a lot of my :cuss:. I hope you do great things with your free time. Cheers!

Helias_Tancred Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Thank you for your esteemed service Brother!

WrathOfTheLion Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Thank you for your service! As I'm only slowly working on my Lamenters, I'm not around all the time here on the BA forum, but I respect and appreciate everything you've done here. It's great to hear you'll still be around, it will be a blast to talk with you about different tactics and all once we get 10E in our hands.

Hfran Morkai Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Oh wow Morticon, I thought you were leaving the hobby and I was prepared for the worst (obviously not the worst thing to happen but would be a shock seeing you "leave"). Fair play to you for stepping down, it takes commitment to do these sorts of things on a voluntary basis and thank you for what you've done in your time as part of the B&C staff. Also, I absolutely love the grin in that photo, you look so incredibly happy Edited May 25, 2023 by Hfran Morkai Typo and a bit of context Morticon 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378726-its-sadly-that-time/#findComment-5950706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sorry to see you go Mort, however your reasoning is sound - one less thing to be stressed about, not giving enough back. Heck, you've done enough for the site over the years - I look forward to seeing what you're up to next. Some recuperation in the ol' sarcophagus before another tourney?
