Open note to mods: a bit of an apology, and a thank you

Trollheart · 02-15-2013, 04:23 AM

Just wanted to let you guys know that I realise with now three journals to run I'm probably beginning to get on your, er, nerves with all my updates, particularly to "The Couch Potato", and I apologise if I'm giving you extra work, but I'm really getting into it and am anxious to build it and keep it going.

At the same time I don't want to ignore my other journals, so be warned, some big updates are in the pipeline! Oh no I hear you say!

I know it takes time to read through my ramblings before approving the posts, and I know you probably get a cold chill down your backs when you see yet another update coming from me, but I really do appreciate all the attention you give them and all the work you put in. I hope I'm not pushing you too hard, but I want to make my journals the very best I can, and I really do spend hours a day on them sometimes. Sad I know but hey, who needs a life?

Anyway, I doubt I'll ever get back to the old days of four posts a day every day --- I don't want to work that hard nor have you work that hard --- but even so, there have been three posts sent this morning, though that was really one: I got caught by the max picture rule and had to split it into three. And there will be more, maybe even today.

So please bear with me. I'm not doing this to annoy you and I hope I'm not seen as taking advantage or taking up all your time. I know how busy yiz are, and hate adding to your workload, but I just love what I do and hope that comes through in my writing.

Anyhoo, thanks for your understanding and I'll try to keep it to less than a dozen posts a week!

And now, I go back to whatever it is I do!
Cheers

I don't think our biggest contributor of quality, timeless posts should feel guilty for adding worth to the site. You're doing us all a favor.

If I was a moderator and didn't feel like reading through your post-to-be-approved, I would've approved it at a glance - as soon as I recognized it as another journal post from TH. It's not much work!

It's no problem at all TH. it's great to have someone who is such an active member.

I think you should force him to start a fourth journal.

Sometimes I might hold off approving your journal for an hour or two just so that once in a while someone else's journal is listed as the latest post on the main page.

Thought this was some sort of goodbye thread. Thank bloody god it's not!

Trollheart · 02-15-2013, 11:19 AM

Yeah, sorry about that: probably could have worded the title better!

I was originally going to call it "A journal too far?" but didn't want to give anyone any ideas!

Not to worry: they'll more than likely have to carry me out of here in a wooden box! (Passed away at his PC writing a seven-volume history of Marillion, eh? Ah sure, 'tis how he would have wanted to go!)

If Trollheart were a band he'd be Modest Mouse.

If someone should be apologizing, it should be me for forcing the mods to change my avatar every thirty minutes. Not that I'm gonna apologize though. **** the mods.

TheBig3 · 02-16-2013, 12:24 PM

Apology Accepted.

Just kidding.

I still think you're an *******.

Kidding.

You're a gem.
