I've said it before, but I'll say it again: you give me hope for humanity. And that's just due to your presence in a music community! Norway's finest son has graced these Boards as a mod, and I count it as my great fortune to have been here at the same time. If only the planet could be populated by a clone of Tores (and his little rat friends)!

(Am I laying it on too thick??)

Thanks Erica, you've made my week!! Drop by the chatroom when you have time

I'm sure you'll do just fine!

Since it seems this has become my goodbye-mod-team thread, I can add that it's been a pleasure to serve the community and I hope that it's something I can go back to doing in the future should I like to. There are some things I don't like so much about MB, but they're mostly about the administration. I like to improve things and many of the problems on MB are things we can work on, for example by running an album club to make sure there's something here for people who like a certain kind of music, write a guide, change the number of forums or whatever. When there's something I think we should be able to change, but can't because there's no support from admin, then I start to get frustrated. Maybe the site will change hands or administration will change their way of running MB in the future and posibly I might apply for a mod position if that day comes, but for now I'm turning that frustration into productivity elsewhere!

As for the current mod team, they're a keen bunch with a collectively strong sense of morale and I think they do a fine job. I was more of a guide-writing, thread-creating kind of moderator and disciplining wrongdoers is a job I was never good at or fond of doing consistently. It truly is a thankless job while writing guides and so on is generally not, so all the mods really deserve more credit than they get. Although we've had a few disagreements (secret arguments in the mod threads), it's been a pleasure working with you guys!

Even though disciplining members is not easy, it's something the mod team has always done. What's even harder, I think, is coming up with ways to reward the people who make up our community and improve the site beyond mere efforts to keep the peace. That's something I hope Pedestrian can help out with. So, best of luck to Pedestrian and the mod team in the future!

I think you should have made a separate goodbye thread instead of hi-jacking this thread but it doesn't matter much I suppose.

Anyways, I have appreciated the guides that you have made and the little improvements that you have made around MB to try to make this place better for the rest of us. Thanks.

Dj, I thought I wouldn't make a fuzz (think that's an ex-mod tradition), but I agree it's not nice hijacking this thread. Although I think me leaving the mods team is probably a dead topic by now, perhaps a mod can single out those posts and make a thread (if one reads this, feel free). To David, thanks for the kind words! I missed you a lot after you left the mod team. You did a brilliant job and it wasn't quite the same without you.

Cheers and thanks guys
