Just thought I'd let you guys know before the grand re-blue-ing, that I have resigned as a moderator.
Its a horrid job, you get unfair stick by people who can't see the work you do (because you do it well). I did it for nearly 2 years as I felt it got me a more priviledged position in the game from which Ash would realise I had the best for the game in mind. But over the last few months, and then last wekk in particular, it has become clear to me (and several of the other admins) that we have lost that point of priviledge. In fact, I had more positive influence on the game in the 6months leading up to becoming a MOD, than the last 6... and trust me that's not for a lack of trying, my most active board is often the secret admin board.
But having lost that position where I felt I was haing a positive influence on the game (ghost and baggygreen appear to have much greater input), I no longer feel willing to put up with the shit I get for moderating.
Of course it isn't helped that I wasted a sensible amount of my time FOR FREE developing systems for the game that not only are unused, but the reason for this hasn't been explained despite 6 months of asking. You might realise that would piss anyone off.
I imagine there will be so excellent conspiracy theories fly round the forums (and I can't see Ash quashing them) when it's noticed I've quit (I've left a few hints, but none has picked up yet)... I only really care you guys and the other admins know why I really left. I might actually try and stoke the conspiracy theories... could be fun to see how extreme a "mis-demeanor" I can get people to believe.
