I'm gonna be a regular guy! Woo!

[Mitera Nikkou]

Sometime soon I'll be a user like most of you, not an admin or a mod. Remember all of those times that you wished you could get back at me without getting banned? Well, I hope you don't remember. I know I don't.

Anyway, it goes without saying that things that should be sent to an admin or mod shouldn't be sent to me anymore. The admin you should seek is Sensei Kimiko, and the new guy. I won't mention said new guy since I figure they should have their own introduction rather than a mention in a post like this.

And don't pester Kimiko with questions about this. The best person to ask is the person writing this post. You know, what's-their-face. But I can tell you that it's nothing worth asking about, since it's my decision and I'm not known for being sensible. Agreeing to be a mod way back when wasn't a sensible choice, so really this decision goes back that far (at least). But why I'm here like this is a blockbuster, a smash-hit of the season kind of movie that will never be seen in theaters, much less video. Just assume you've read a five-starred, two-thumbs-up post that you'll want to read again and again, and share with the whole family.

That's about it, I think. Now we just have to wait. In the meantime, don't send me any admin things that I may not be able to get to later. XD

What a shame. So I won't be able to bug you about my user-name anymore? Shoot.

What I never got was why didn't it say "Admin" in your little skirt-counter-thingy.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Because I don't care about being pretentious, I guess. I had it set that way when I had been a mod, too. At heart I'm never going to be the authoritative type, the leader type, and all that other stuff. There's really only one way I can be, and the rest is baggage.

[Kether]

so when do we get the new guy to womanize?

[Mitera Nikkou]

Whenever Kimiko gets around to it. I'm too lazy to figure out how to make them an admin, myself. ;/

[Kether]

But we have a fruit basket and everything

[Kumi-chan]

So who is the new guy?

[Mitera Nikkou]

The new guy is an old guy that's not so new at something old hat. How about that?

[Kumi-chan]

Okay then Nikkou. Thanks. Oddly that told me everything I needed to know.

I know this is kind of going off-topic and i'm hardly considered an active user anymore infact I think i've slipped down to lurker status but I do have a question..

How many mods are still around these days? Not 'around' but you know 'actively fulfilling their modly duties' not that they need to, it's just a question that i've been meaning to ask for a while now as it seems alot of them have become 'perma-side tracked' with that dreaded and heavily armored beast known as "Real Life" and it's vicious minion "School"..

[Mitera Nikkou]

Well, to be fair, there's really not much modding that needs to be done, with the exception of any required prunings.

But my honest opinion is that most have either gotten tied up with something in their life, with a greater priority, or just lost interest/found something more interesting. If I had to call any one of the mods active, I'd say that there are only two: Xia and Helel. That's because they manage stuff in IRC and come around to the boards (and post; that's important) when they can (since they do have lives and such).

It's not just the mods, though. Kimiko's last visit to MSF was two weeks ago, and Eirien last dropped by at the end of June. This is pretty discouraging to me, so it's a part of the reason for why I'm getting out of this, because I simply can't do much under these circumstances. I'm hoping that the person who succeeds me, who doesn't have the social problems that I do, can.

Other than that, I'm sure MSF could just be run by one person at this point. The window of the forum (the site) was ruined by Eirien and left unresolved, so... I don't expect the kind of growth that would require mods, in the near future. I'm depressed enough as it is, so I don't want to be as attached to MSF as I have been. I'm weening myself, I guess.

There. I managed to put some on-topic stuff in my answer to balance it out.

[Gee-chan]

....wow....I really can't imagine you depressed. Or are you always depressed? If so I don't want to be nearby when you are hyper

[Mitera Nikkou]

I'm always depressed. But that doesn't mean that I can't pretend to be spunky so I don't bother people with it.

The new guy is an old guy that's not so new at something old hat. How about that? :lol:

Hello people of the world

[Mitera Nikkou]

Oh, good. Now make the administration control panel go away! U_U
