*cheesy title goes here*
 

And here's where I make a lame, sappy speech ;)

Oh to hell with it, this is not a goodbye. And as much as I hate those sappy "stepping down" threads, I actually need to tell you some things.

This is official. I've resigned as a mod today, from both this one and HIMYM boards. But you guys are the (un)lucky ones that I will subject to a boring speech :P

I just want you all to know that my decision has absolutely nothing to do with the show (which I still adore) nor you guys (whom I still adore). This also doesn't mean you'll get rid off me completely. So don't celebrate yet ;) For one, I'll be modding in here until the new mod is appointed. And most importantly... I'm not leaving this place for good. I love it way too much for that and let's face it, I'm too addicted for that.

So here's where the sappy part's coming. Feel free to skip it ;)
I've been a mod of this board for exactly 3 years and one month. Believe it or not, but resigning from this place was a true heartbreak for me.
It's been an absolute blast to mod and whoever gets it now, I just hope they're gonna have as much fun as I did.

Kate - I'll talk to you more in private, but I hope you know you're the best co-mod anyone could wish for and how much your friendship means to me.

And to all of you, I don't think you realize how much I value knowing you guys. Whether I've known you for years or we met here more recently, you had a far bigger impact on me as a person than you know. And for that I'm truly grateful.

So this is it. I made the sappy speech I never thought I'd do... Feel free to mock me for that (but not right away, please?).

I'm getting teary eyed :bawl: you're one of the best mods this place could ever have :hug:

Awwwww Claudia :hug:

:hug:

Can I pretend that this thread doesn't exist and that you haven't said that and that this is all a bad dream? :( Please say yes! :bawl:

GAH! I just don't want to believe this! :( You know, I have been a mod of this board for a bit longer than you, but I honestly can't remember not modding with you. It's as if I forgot ever having another co-mod. It's...I don't know, I just can't find any words right now! Seriously, you are so great and modding with you was always fun! I mean, remember all the PMs and e-mails and everything? I'm so going to miss that. Well, I know, we can and will still do that, but this time it will be different topics - mostly. ;)

:back_hug: I don't want you to go!!! :bawl:

Oh Kate you're gonna make me cry. :( And I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be around. I promise :hug:

Oh hale no! I still want PMs and emails and our usual bitching! :lol:

I know, but...but...I'm scared that it will be different and I don't like changes and....I probably should stop now before it gets worse. :( I can be strong! And you will be here and on LJ and...I can do this!

:lol: Oh, you know, I will send you all my complaints! ;)

Hey, we can do this! It's gonna be ok, right? Right? :(

Heh I wouldn't want it any other way! Our bitchiness is a trademark :lmao:

*nods sadly* Yes, it will be okay... :( It has to be! :hug:

Too bad most people won't get to see it anymore then. :lol: But it's probably better that way. :lol:

Oh I'll find a way :evil_lol: :lmao:

Now you're scaring me, which is actually a good thing! ;)

I'm really sad about your decision but I'm sure that you have your reasons and I accept that. It will be strange though, not to have you as a mod anymore. :( I just want to tell you that you and Kate were a great team and you were an awesome mod. Thank you for the great job you did and for making this board a place where I felt welcome right away and that is like a second home.

We might lose you as a mod but we won't lose you as a friend, and that's what is most important. :hug:

See, you're not the only one who is sappy. :lol:

Welcome to the sappy club, Carmen! :lol: And thank you :hug: Do you know I still remember the first time you started posting here? We were all flailing over your username :lol: Snooglyshnork and Ugly. Bestest RPS ever written.

I´m sad to see you step down. The only way I know this board is with you and Kate as mods. I hate it when things have to change. :(

This is the only board I´ve ever posted regularly on. I would have never thought to have more than 1000 posts on a message board, for it´s totally not my thing.
I guess that says enough about how great this place is and you being a great mod was/is one of the most important reasons for that. :hug:

Awwww, this is really heartbreaking. Considering, I have known you probably less than anybody here, it is still so sad, because I don't know how and why, but I feel already an integral part of this group and of course you and Kate ar the leaders. I have never known otherwise over here, so I'll miss that loads.

Well, you did a fantastic job as a Mod, and the important thing is that you will still be here because we can't lose you completely, nono. So do not let me come after you!

:back_hug: :bawl:

you can't leave!! DO!!! ok, i'm getting teary eyed now :( seriously, you make this place what it is, you and kate, and it's a real loss with you stepping down, truly... you are one of the most loyal, honest, genuine, beautiful people here on ff and i can't even fathom not seeing you around, so you better swear that nothing will change... plus i can't stalk pp all by my lonesome, so this summer you have to promise you'll be all posting on the mm thread like always! :P <3 :hug: *sniff*

Crap, you guys! I was supposed to make you cry, not the other way around! :bawl: :lol:

I freaking love you all, you know that, right? :love: And I'm not leaving for good. I swear. I'll still be posting!

Oh, you better!

:lmao: You totally were. I get all nostalgic thinking back to it. :cry: And bestest RPS for sure. :lol:

Aw, Do :( I'm so sad you are stepping down. You were an awesome mod here! You better still be around :P It wouldn't be the same without you :hug:

Do, I'm sorry to see you go. Everyone else said it all, just know that you'll be severely missed! :back_hug: (and if our next mod is a lame-o, we'll make you come back! ;))

:lmao: That's the spirit!

Now no one will even want to apply for the mod job! :lmao:

Hey! That's how I got this job! No one else wanted it! :lmao: And look how awesome it turned out... Oh crap. I'm getting nostalgic again. You know I still have that PM you sent me after I got it? I'm such a sap :(

But there were others who wanted it. :lol: *sighs* It's been so many years... :( Such a long time...
