Stepping down - hooray!

[Virago]

Last week I passed my four-year mark as a Moderator on Kiwi Biker - three-and-a-half of those as Senior Mod. A couple of days ago, I indicated my intent to step down, and a few minutes ago I took the step of changing my own log-in to that of a normal Senior Member - my final duty.

How many shit-fights refereed, tears dried, bottoms smacked, log-in problems fixed, spammers zapped, as well as all the usual Mod stuff in the threads - I simply don't know.

It's all merged into one big memory - the good times and bad even themselves out to create a good reflection of a job done to the best of my ability.

I've watched KB change in that time. It's not better, not worse, just different. Like all of us, I've enjoyed some changes, and lamented others. But change is inevitable - and it's time to move on - to be part of that change.

My business (which has occasionally been neglected) is entering a new stage of growth, and my team need me as a full-time leader. I'm looking forward to enjoying a little more of the company of my wonderful (and long-suffering) wife, and working on the improvement of my health and fitness.

And, I'm going to ride more...

I'll still be around.

To those friends I've made along the way - you know who you are.

To the enemies - well, you can go fuck youselves...:p

Cheers

Ken

Cheers mate. A good innings :niceone:

[White trash]

Is this one of those Goodbye threads?

[Madness]

So who's the new "King Dick" then?

[Virago]

Is this one of those Goodbye threads?

Shouldn't you be fucking yourself now...? :blink:

[Mental Trousers]

Is this one of those Goodbye threads?

Nope. Although he can ban himself if he wants to. That's always good for a laugh.

[Spearfish]

You were obviously so good at the job I didn't know that's what you did.:facepalm:

[scumdog]

So no longer 'Ken-the-fuckin'-power-crazy-mod' then?:rofl::lol::whistle:

[Hitcher]

You were obviously so good at the job I didn't know that's what you did.

Most members have little idea about what goes on in the backroom to make this site run in an orderly and compelling manner. And that's how it should be.

Ken's been a star. Most of you have no idea about what he's done and the lives he's saved. And that's how it should be too.

A few of us have been privileged enough to see this guy in action. He's good. Really good.

Well done Ken. Thanks.

Maybe not knowing isn't always a good thing.

[Mom]

Thanks Ken, though I am going to miss giving you the reach around :shutup:

[willytheekid]

Hope you enjoy the change and get out there and clock up some fun K's on the bike :scooter:

[sinfull]

Right go on, own up !!!!! It was you who put the mocca on me by changing the title of my thread to $5000 later aye ???


Bastido !!!!

[tigertim20]

a few minutes ago I took the step of changing my own log-in to that of a normal Senior Member - Ken

sad to see you go, but now you have no excuse to turn down all them rides eh?

[avgas]

I liked the part about the agro virgin or whatever it was.

*sigh* good times :bye:

[NighthawkNZ]

c you on the road :yes::yes:

I do hope you mean on his bike which is on the road???? not him being on the road?

[gijoe1313]

Thanks for doing a thankless job and the hard yards! Keep passing the open windows! :niceone:

[PrincessBandit]

Here, this should help...



Damn that was depressing. Everytime I fast forwarded through the clip it was musically more of the same, more of the same, more of the same. Shit, what am I going to tell my composition students now instead of telling them to come the hell up with some new musical ideas for contrast and interest in their pieces when Barber can dirge on for almost 10 minutes with that!!!!

Oh, and jolly good show big V for your years of behind-the-scenes work. I am sure that moderating is a hugely thankless task for the most part, with plenty of abuse thrown in for good measure by some around here. Most of us do appreciate what you guys do, even if we're not entirely sure what that is... ;)

[Maha]

When will the new Senior mod/s (if at all) show thier face/s?

[Hitcher]

Mods don't have faces. Please don't expect the principles of Faceless Bureaucracy to be compromised.

[martybabe]

Well thank you for your efforts, it's not a job I'd want. Enjoy retirement :drinkup:

[SpankMe]

Thanks for all the hard work Virago. :) It'll be hard to find your replacement.

[Mom]

Mods don't have faces. Please don't expect the principles of Faceless Bureaucracy to be compromised.

I agree! How dare they show their ugly mugs to us mere plebs, we probably could not cope after all.

Nonsense. In fact I shaved especially for this appearance:

Must say im impressed you could get on it,
I thought I was taller than you, and I was on my tip tip toes :innocent:

Although I dont think tigertim20 meant when he said he can pull any ass he wanted on that bike..

[Scouse]

Cheers Ken
Your steady stewardship of the forum will be missed
Just hope you are not replaced by someone without a sense of humour

[scumdog]

It'll be hard to find your replacement.

Why?
Are they hiding particularly well??:blink:
