I'm one of the people now!

Just posting a little note to let you all know that I'm stepping down as head bitch mod, and from the modding team in general.

I'm not leaving, but I haven't had the time to keep on top of all the duties BB needs and deserves.

Thank you so much to all the members, whether you were taking part in a competition I helped run, or whether I was scolding you via PM for the nasty comments you made 😉

A (bigger) thank you to all my fellow mods, old and current, it's been so much fun to work with you guys over the years. The biggest thanks to B of course, BB was my first forum ever and it totally ruined forums for me, this one was so awesome and no other one could compare! I joined in 2005 and I *think* it was within a year I was a mod, so it's been almost 10 years on BB for me. You guys have no idea how much work she puts into this place.
The stuff we've done over the last 10 years have been so much fun, some of you guys really have no idea, and it's so hard to explain the amount of work the modding teams have put into running this place, the amount of work I've seen people put into a place they wanted to make fun was amazing, I look forward to seeing that from the other side!

Some of my personal highlights that will be way too insider for many of you!

B attacking people with a shoe,
Kean and Lyri buying the boards,
Arriving too late for, but reading all about, that horse she rode in on,
The other countless awards shows highlights
- Matt storming the stage,
- The absolute chaos of running the backstage, the front stage and the chat room during an awards,
- The banter in the chartroom during and after those shows (I still remember the stories Nix!! 😉)
- The Boards Buzz newsletter recounting all the BB gossip, turing BB into a reality show, that was way head of it's time (that lasted one issue!)
- Hosting an awards show
Watching the BB Big Brother (that was some experimental forum stuff!)
The Warewolves game!
Bork Bork!!!
B deleting all the members she "didn't like"

All the stuff about BB could fill a book and I thoroughly enjoyed being a mod here!

Naturally I wrote this thread while playing Sarah McLachlan on a loop - as any child of 90s TV does during sad times.

I encourage you all to press play and have a read through my back catalogue: https://www.buffy-boards.com/search/44374/

Finished reading 10 years worth of posts?
I've been wonderful, you're all welcome! (Can't be too sentimental, I have a reputation to uphold) 😉

I'll probably take a step back to readjust to my new climate, but then I'll be right back to discussions...

Somehow I think this will shortly be your avatar...

As I said to you directly, you've been a great mod and done a ton of work for this place, so thank you for your effort and time that you've given us 🙂 You will be missed! I can still hit you with a shoe though...

Just over a year! Still a newbie!

I feel that would be appropriate!

Thanks, was such a pleasure, and I shall try to avoid that shoe!
 
Hahahha nice avatar!

A big thank you for all your hard work Niall. You have brought back some amazing memories there. She never did get over that horse....

Think we may have to raise a glass in your honour next week and share some stories!!

Perfect occasion!
 
Thanks BEG for the great work you've done! I can't thank the mods on here enough for all the work they put into this board. And for what? For us crazy folks to entertain our unhealthy obsession of a show that finished over 10 years ago 😛

Have a drink, you deserve it! Cheers!
 
Not only was this a great post about all your amazing work, but it was so great to look back at the mad things we did back then! I'd forgotten all about the werewolves game (can't even remember if I was a werewolf, a villager or a seer) and looking back at that BB Buzz thing was so much fun. I ran across Big Brother a while ago - I can't even being to figure out how we did that!!

You worked so hard over the years, BEG, and I know I speak for everyone when I say you will be missed. Not that you'll go anywhere, probably. We're never going to get rid of you!! 😉

Thank you! 
I have a message from Kean:

"Congratulations on your tenure and welcome to the Former Mods of BB Support Group. Our Operations Base is Monaco and our bedtime is never."

We'll see you there!!

Thanks ;) - I didn't take part in Warewolves just ran it, but it was so much fun!
I had forgotten all about Big Brother.. forgotten about most of the stuff.. it seems like a world ago.

Ohhh sounds lovely, I hear Monaco is wonderful this time of year!
 
Man you guys have been doing this a long time. As a newbie I have no clue what what 90% of that stuff you're talking about is. Also you're spot on that we've no real idea of the work that goes into running this place.

It is very much appreciated though. This is the only forum I'm a member of and I think it's brilliant that it's so engaging for newcomers given how old the show is. Thanks for all the hard work and I look forward to a debate with your mortal self.
 
Say it ain't so!!!! 😱🙁

But, seriously, thanks for all you did! You're awesome and I'm really glad to hear you'll still be around joining in the crazy discussions we have.

I'm with you, I'm too new to know what they are talking about and I'm not a member of any other forums, this place is just the best. So thanks to you and all the other mods for the hard work you put into it to make it a great place to come to day in and day out. It's great to be able to come here and talk about my favorite tv show.
