Interesting, I have never seen an admin resign before. This also means that Laura gets two terms in a row.

I agree with Moontide, this doesn't happen very often therefore making it interesting. I don't know how many times in total it has happened but I only remember one at this juncture.

It was only four terms ago we had the last resignation, when EK had to leave for boot camp.

(and this is now in the wiki)

I look forward to helping out snubs and Catspaw and am honored you asked me, however, I'm really going to miss having you around, TKD! :hug:

Thanks for all the congrats, guys. :)

First of all, it'll be sad to see you go but congrats on being able to have the maturity and actually doing it. I hope you'll still get on gmail :anxious:

And congratulations to Laura :yes:

Wow.

I did not see this coming.
What can I say? This is quite an unsettling moment for a number of reasons.
First of all, obviously, the administration change. I think you chose an excellent replacement though. (Although it is a little suspicious that she was just in office.)
But more importantly a member loss. All I can say is I sincerely hope your departure is not as final as you made it sound. I can understand if you need to take some time off now to be with family, and that’s certainly commendable, but to leave for good…

I think that means she won't be gone totally. Plus, we've talked, and she said she'll still be on some.

fixed lots of tags - ric ; )

But I am happy for you Laura.
Way to demote everyone else to the "bad" people, while TKD is one of the "good" people. :x I sense a story arc... just kidding.

Okay, since people have been asking me why I'm still on today, let me try to explain it this way. ;)

I might be able to come and check on things here, it's just that I can't keep an eye on the entire board like I used to be able to, thus, Laura replacing me in that department. I think you all deserve an admin who can keep an eye over the whole board. :- Did that make any sense? I have a headache right now, so tell me if it doesn't. ;)

We'll miss ya The King's Daughter, that'd be the truth. But if ye be doing God's will, then:
May Yahweh protect you and guide you, may he bless you in your barns and all that you put your hand to and give you peace.
And welcome back to power Laura! :D

I chose Laura because she has lots of experience, which will makes her easier to work with. I would have chosen Marvin D. but these days it seems he doesn't have the time to do the admin job. At least, I don't think he has the time I would need from him. O:)

TKD, is still my right hand girl. \:D/ She just won't be on as much.

So, if I may ask... Why didn't you guys use Laura as a mod in the first place? Since she's so experienced and everything...

They probably didn’t have enough positions.
(Or they knew this was going to happen in advance. :- )
