So I quit as mod

So yeah yesterday I quit as a mod here at this fine forum. Reason? Too many to list but mainly not feeling uneasy at modding people, especially some of Cruddybuddy's posts/threads. Sure they were off topic but at least they were funny, hell we allow even more pointless threads like "warr warr this game aint out oh fuck I'll die if I don't have it now, warr warr". And also it took up some time, reading through what seems like the same threads again & again just to make sure no one is posting stuff against the rules, or moving threads to where they should be. Sure it wasn't something I had to do all the time but still it took a little time out of my life, time I could spend with my kid pretending to be a dinosaur.

So why did I accept the position in the first place? Just to help really that's all, to give something back to the forum but its better for the forum that someone else took over, someone with time and inclination to do so. There are plenty of wannabe mods here who'll do much better.

That's what they say down there. :\



Anyway , I think you did the right thing for yourself. I hope you have a nice time with your kid , while he's a kid. Because you won't see him so often anymore when he is older.
 
haha nice you and your kids play dinosuars too! My daughter and I play dinosaurs all the time. Land before time!!

Yeah modding is too much work also...

BRah. What ever floats your boat.
 
Its a shame Hadrian no longer a mod :( I log on here probably twice a day and read most topics. Its rare I find anything that seems to need a mod. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, or the mods on here are just too good. I didn't think mod was a hard job, you just need to delete the 3,000 GIMMIE THE ROMZ posts :lol:

Actually, it's harder than you may think...

But anyway, it's sorry to see you leave the staff, Hadrian, but it's not for everyone and you made the best decision.

Sorry, I didn't mean I wanted you gone as a mod, or that you weren't doing your job right (but it could have sounded that way)

What I meant to say is that there's no point you volunteering for something if you're not enjoying it.

Sorry :(

Yeah I know just kidding.
 
Like I said Hadrian, we'll miss ya' on the staff, but as long as you don't quit the forum entirely we won't have to round up the GBAtemp gang, track you down, and drag you back. ;) You've got to back the right choice for you, and I for one am behind ya' in whatever that is, just like I said last night.

How did I know someone would respond to that statement like that...:P

Anyway, I completely understand. It's hard to juggle this sort of responsibility along with work and kids. Hope you continue to stay around in some form and for the love of all that is holy don't stop with your excellent release lists!!!
 
G
I love you and that silly voice hadrian :wub:
 
Hate to see you go, you were a damn good mod. :(

I hope you still keep up your good work posting upcoming game releases, and that you continue to make the Tempcast rock :yayds:
