Thanks JD.
I hope you will stay on as a member and inject your wisdom from time to time.

Retiring? Again? Looking for more words of high praise and terms of endearment?
Long live 2000 AD and prosper!

Hello Judge, we had just a brief contact and I too wish You well.
Yes, times change- not for the better, mostly. To counter that I ´ve created my little Gummybear World in where Unicorns poop cheeseburgers and farts smell like Roses, this place resembles a good part of it.
It won´t ever be easy to say Goodbye, it´s never easy to part if something or someone grew close to me.
But that´s how life goes... Live Long And Prosper.
Or as I say: "Lebe lang und knusprig!"

Sad to see you go, Dredd. I'm on my way out, almost certainly, as well. Not that as many people, if any, will care about that. lol
And if I do maintain an account here, it will just be to drop in from time to time to see if there is any TV show and movie stuff to make it worth it.
I won't be doing reviews anymore or commenting on anything.
There's not really anything to stay for.
Sure, there may be a community here, but that's never really been the point for me.
If I wanted community, I'd bake a cake for and knock on my neighbor's door. As it stands, I tend to play the let's-see-how-many-years-I-can-go-withou t-ever-speaking-to-my-neighbors game. And I sometimes never end up talking to them. (which I consider to be a win)
The point here has always been the convenience of the links. And if those are permanently gone, just community can't fill the void for someone who was never here for that to begin with.
Anywho, best of luck in whatever comes next, and peace to you.

I will miss you! You have provided me no end of guffaws and smiles and I thank you. You have also taught me, many times, different ways to be patient, non-reactionary and added to my list of "how to be a smarmy MF."
I appreciate the hard work you have put in here from being a moderator to replying to legal questions. I wish you much success in all that you do, and much happiness as well. I hope you are able to keep making people smile and laugh. You are Good Medicine sir. Take care, be well.

Gonna miss ya JD, Sure Will. Undoubtedly my loitering days here will be even fewer and farther between. Everyone has already wandered back to the old watering hole anyway, since links and Doc's affinity for the commuity vanished.
It'll take some doing to find uploaders with moobz reputation DOA in a smoldering crater. And, there certaily won't be another mod as engaging and judicial as you were JD. Honestly, your reign was a true pleasure.
See ya at the old watering-hole.

Guess that explains everything... ''Go watch stuff elsewhere.''

You were the best thing about this place. The transparency in your moderation was unlike anything anywhere else, and very welcome even when I was at the pointy end of it.
I will miss you.

Its been almost 5 years since I assumed the responsibility of the Moderation. During that period, I have met some really interesting people, have made some new lifelong friends, engaged in hours of satirical debates and had loads of fun in the process. The people that made this worthwhile are just too many to list. Too many to thank.
But alas, times are changing and we must change with them. My decision to depart has been a long time coming. The time required to fulfill the duties entrusted to me takes away from the real world responsibilities. And this is a conflict that cannot be resolved in any other manner.
For those of you who will stay, all I can wish for you is to enjoy each other's company. After all, the online community here is second to none. For those who will go, I bid you farewell and wish you good luck in your future endeavors.
To my replacements I only wish endless of patience. And a word of advise: You are not here just to manage people. You are here to defend the ones who cannot defend themselves. You are here to detract attention from the victim(s) and take his/her place as the punching bag. Because you can do something about it. They cant. And always, and I mean always, approach any situation with politeness and an excess of humor. You would be surprised on how much you can achieve like that.
