Farewell to thee....

Post by David »

In about the second week of August I'll be moving to a dorm/apartment in Commerce Texas, and begin slaving away under brutal biology and chemistry professors. Between being in class, lab, and studing for what is essentially an entirely science course based curriculum I won't have hardly any time to be here, so I'll be stepping down as ya'lls just-slightly-less-than Supreme Master in the near future. It's been a fun for me and I hope for everyone else this past year, and I'll definitely be back eventually. Until then Dalton and GAT can fight it out for the top spot, and Beano will be back soon to kill the winner. I couldn't possibly name all the people that have contributed to making this board such a success, so I won't bother, but special kudos to those rabid followers who supported my bid for world domination, maybe next year :wink: :wink:, and also to teh mod squad, for putting the Smackdown on all deserving trolls. I'll probably resign the 3rd of July, our one year anniversery, but until then you have my assurance that I will continue to (ab)use my powers to the best of my ability.

Wow, you'll be missed.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

It's a little early to make this announcement, don't you think? :wink:

Anyway, best of luck.

Well I told the other mods awhile ago, because I haven't been on the board much compared to when it first was up. I'm taking some summer courses and working alot so that will also be sucking up my time also.

Funny, that's the same as my birthday.
Anyway, we'll miss you. Good luck and don't let the fleas bite you where the sun doesn't shine.

LOL I work at McD's right now to work with my school schedule, and avoiding a minimum wage job for the rest of my life will be well worth staying off SD for two years.

So long, I'll miss you. Really. :P

Ahahahahhaha!

Soon you shall realise that though it might seem there is much class time at the university much of it is "optional" and even more of it is "boring" and as such reclassifiable as "drinking time".

These poor poor first years who think that they will have no time. Tut tut tut. Have you learnt nothing from your (albeit short) years of life already?
