[Brother Tyler]

Over the last several years we have had a number of [former] moderators retire from their duties. However, I have been remiss in my duties, not announcing those retirements. The moderators are essential to the health and welfare of the site. Like you, they are hobbyists who enjoy the hobby and the community. They sacrifice their hobby time to perform moderator duties, and many of these members have served in this capacity for years. You don't always see the work that they do because much of it takes place behind the scenes, whether it's discussion about how to improve the site or how to deal with problems (and we try to take care of discipline privately, so you don't always see those actions). We are all indebted to each and every member who performs moderator duties.

 

Over time, however, we all drift away from the hobby and the community. Sometimes hobbyists lose interest in the hobby; sometimes they find that they have less time to devote to the hobby/community; sometimes there are other reasons to retire. Regardless of their reasons, we are always appreciative for their contributions to the site and we wish them the best.

 

The following members of the community have retired from moderator duties. Some of them are recent retirees, while others have retired over the last few years (and I've been a terrible slacker in not recognizing them before now). They are listed here in alphabetical order:

• @Brother Cambrius
• @Canadian_F_H
• @Claws and Effect
• @Commander Dawnstar
• @Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch
• @Dusktiger
• @Eddie Orlock
• @Iron Father Ferrum
• @Johanhgg
• @Khulu (you may remember him as Tyriks)
• @Lord Ragnarok
• @Mandragola
• @sal of manders
• @schoon
• @Seahawk
• @TiguriusX
• @toaae
• @TrawlingCleaner
• Triszin

Please join me and the rest of the staff in thanking each of these members for everything they've done for the hobby and the community - the B&C is better for their contributions.

 

 

 

And now I'll submit myself to the Pain Glove in penance for not thanking these very deserving members in a more timely manner.

[Blindhamster]

Thank you for helping to keep this place fun and friendly all!

[Mechanicus Tech-Support]

Thank you in your effort in herding the cats 

[Alby the Slayer]

Thank you for the hard work you did Fraters, 'cause this is what it was.

[Captain Idaho]

Hits hard seeing the names listed. IFF, Rags and Seahawk were names when I joined the team too 

 

Wishing everyone all the best and hopefully see you all from time to time posting.

Thanks to all for your service! The B&C is the most well-moderated forum that I have experienced and this has been due to your efforts and commitment.

[Iron Father Ferrum]

It was a good run and this is actually my second retirement, but the demands of family have dramatically cut back hobby time.  I'll still be poking around as a Frater.

[Beef]

Many thanks for all your hard work over the years.

[Helbrechts_Sword_Servitor]

Sites like this are better than the deluge of crap in social media because of the moderation.

 

Thank you all!

[calgar101]

Many thanks to all, past and present. 

[Evil Eye]

Hoping all involved are doing well; I love this place and a large part of that is down to the moderators here.
