  • Early retirement

    It is with a somewhat heavy heart that I must announce my retirement as a forum moderator for this fantastic place.

    I have only been 'at it' for a relatively short time, but during my tenure I have been privileged to see just how much hard work goes into keeping this place the great place it is for all of us. I was honoured to be asked, and I'm now even more honoured to have been part of the team.

    The current team will be joined by a new mod tomorrow and I know they are going to do a fantastic job - one I don't think I can match.

    I'm hoping that my personal circumstances will change in the not too distant future which will probably mean I will struggle even more to pull my weight, and will prefer to keep my time on-vine as a 'recreational user' - which is why I keep coming back.

    Thanks for all your support, understanding and help during my time as mod - it's been a challenge at times, it's been enlightening at others, but most of all thanks to the brilliant backstage team, and the great nature of the grape collective (you lot) it's been a great experience.

    Long may it remain that way.

    Special thanks to zaz, Fi, Sarz and piglet for holding my hand - sorry about the clammy palms.

    It's been emotional.

    You're gonna love the new mod. I promise.

    Clocking off.

        Good on yer, HW. You filled the role, albeit for a short while, with verve and tenacity. And you made me laugh - a lot. The best!
        I hope this doesn't mean we lose you altogether - I don't think I can bear it...
        Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

          I have to say - it has been a blast. But Modding does eat up time sometimes better spent on other more exciting stuff. Like jam or wine making So I completely understand.

          Right - does the new Mod know they need to bring cakes to the meeting tomorrow? Did you put that in your handover notes?

                  I've made a guess, and written it down, and circled it. So, when I pop in tomorrow, I'll find out if I'm right.

                  No, I won't cheat - I have already written it.

                  Daft game innit!!!?

                        Hopefully sometime in the near future maybe.

                              I'm sure your fellow mods will miss you greatly - thanks for doing such a brilliant job.

                              On a general note, I think we're double-triple lucky to have the fair-minded, wise, knowledgeable and deeply attractive mods we do, so thank you all. I can't imagine how much time and patience you need to fulfill the role, and we all benefit from it.

                              You've done a fab job during your modship, now enjoy your retirement! x
