Title: Early Retirement
Post by: Blobmania on April 08, 2014, 02:17:12 pm
Hey there guys,

Just writing to inform you all that I will be stepping down as a Senior Moderator and joining the ranks of the regular forumites. I'm no longer able to put the time into the forums that I used to, and I firmly believe that the community deserves staff who are as dedicated and active in their jobs as you all are to the game (and to these forums). As such I have chosen to step aside to allow some new blood to join the Moderation team and hopefully grow into the position that I no longer have the time to fill.

As of this moment McEwanMaster is the most senior Forum Moderator, and any concerns or questions (and name change requests!) can be directed to him. To bolster the ranks of the Moderation staff we are bringing in a new moderator on a trial basis, Apollo, and I'm sure you'll show him the respect that his new position deserves.

As moderators we always held ourselves to a high standard, and I am confident that the remaining moderators will continue to maintain those standards in my absence. It has been an absolute pleasure not only to work alongside such an active and thoughtful team, but also to work with and get to know so many of you community members since the Forums were established. You're a wonderful bunch (if a bit frustrating at times!), and I wish you all the best of luck in continuing to grow and develop as a community.

Regards,

Blobmania
Senior Moderator

Also, good luck with what ever you hope to do, Blob. :)

Captain's log, stardate: 8th of April, 2014. It comes to my attention that the empire has fallen to an even lower point since my last visit. Blobmania, the great and moderate and fair, has left his command. And yet, it gets even worse. The McJewban has amassed more power than ever before. It controls the entire police and patrol of the galaxy, and holds regency over the almighty Vincetopia. These are dark days among us...

I'm going to have a Seanbeans moment

Yeah, this thread is getting a bit spammy. Please can it.


Anyways good luck Blob, it was fun talking to you those couple of times we did.

This forum has been officially Americanized. Raise the flags of freedom and democracy....

I will miss Blob as Mod, I wont be able to be the secret agent anymore...
Looking forward to the Blobdominican Warships!

Title: Re: Early Retirement
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on April 09, 2014, 09:13:49 pm
I'm American and I'm worried about the aount of American mods.

I mean who's left, Reje and Malakath right? And there are two NA mods so....

Wait no, it's even. I can't see a problem with this.
Title: Re: Early Retirement
Post by: McEwan on April 09, 2014, 09:17:21 pm
Don't forget Sean, and that Reje is technically AU, so it's a 2:2:1 ratio. Before we brought Apollo on, I was the only NA member in the entire FSE organization. :P

I'm fine with the balance we have now, personally.
Title: Re: Early Retirement
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on April 09, 2014, 09:20:12 pm
Silly McEwan, AU is not a place. It's a colony of Europe like Africa and the Middle East!

(What's that, this isn't the 1920s? Why doesn't anyone tell me these things!?)

Nevermind.

And you're forgetting Deo ;)

Edit: In regards to your comment about being best/only NA :P
Title: Re: Early Retirement
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on April 09, 2014, 10:26:39 pm
Deo's FSE staff, he doesn't count :P

Reje technically doesn't count either in that case. So I'm right! SWEET.
Title: Re: Early Retirement
Post by: Blobmania on April 09, 2014, 10:29:33 pm
Haha don't worry, we just thought it'd be sensible to even out the Moderation team a bit between NA/EU. With Sean, Malakith, Ewan and Apollo (and Reje), we've got a good enough coverage that should one mod need to leave we'll still usually have someone about on a similar time-zone to keep an eye on things.
Title: Re: Early Retirement

Now all you need is a mod who lives in Russia and one who lives in Iran.

Yeah, screw that guy for making a positive video that made this DLC a minor enough sucess so FSE could strike out on their own and make BCOF. Such a tool.

Deo is pretty awesome no matter what, honourary draGoon for life.

Lets get back on topic now. Thank you again Blob for all the hard work you have done with the community. When can we pre-order the t-shirts from your Cafe press store  :P.
