hi folks,
I am no longer the moderator for this forum. Or any other for that matter.

I appreciate the trust and respect shown me by Bladeforums, its highly competent moderators, and its owner @Spark.

This decision wasn't a quick one, it's something I thought about for a long time, and I'm satisfied it's the correct path to take.

Cheers!
 
It might be a quick note, yet it's been a LONNNNNG standing charge you undertook.

I SO appreciate what you did for us. Thank you.

Still in the room, just off the podium, right? :)
 
Lorien, You did good here - stay well my friend.
 
More time for this?;)

Seriously though, nice having you around, thank you.:thumbsup:

haha, actually yes but not in a fun, biking around kind of way. Hernia really takes the fun out of riding these days, so all I do is work. I'm concentrated right now on apocalypse proofing the bike shop. It's kind of fun, in an interpretive, exhausting and pain inducing way- not far off from mountain biking, come to think of it.

I have mucho responsibilities and zero time for f-ing around. Notice my banner- more energy going into that, too. Currently working on a food preparation oriented design, (for an above average knife company) and have a number of knives in the works on my bench, and finally a workshop to finish them in. Getting some leather work experience lately, learning a lot.

I'll be upping my game in all the places where it'll pay off, no more being a lazy asshole. I'm turning the hustle up to 11.

For those spare moments when I can spend some time in here, I'll now be able to do that like a normal person. Normal for me, anyway.

Thanks for your kind words, guys.
 
I wish you the best of luck in your new direction my friend. You handled this place well, IMO, in your term as mod.
 
Hate to see you go buddy, you’ll be missed....you can still be an asshole. ;):D
 
oh you, ya bastard!

man, it is a whole different experience in here now. After 4(?) years of having to notice shit I'd have to take care of, now I just smile when I see something that doesn't belong, and just revel in the chaos that is life.
 
So.... 'Who's on First'?

The Fox is running the chicken coup? :eek::D :confused:
 
Thank you for the hard work and...

Thread reported.

best

Thank you Lorien. Being a moderator is a tough, thankless job. I've always enjoyed your posts and your sense of fairness.
 
I really liked you as a moderator. You’re direct. I wish more people were direct. I know it doesn’t please everyone, but if you have a healthy ego a direct approach is always more sincere and helpful in the long run.
 
Thanks again guys, for your nice words.
