There seems to have been little fanfair about Rick's change of status here at Vikingsword, but I think there needs to be some.
After many years of moderating the forum, many as the sole mod, Rick has decided that he deserves a vacation for some reason. However, he will soon realize that like the Mafia, once you are a "made guy" at Vikingsword, there is no way out except feet first. ![]() In the meantime, we will let Rick enjoy the illusion of freedom, so please join me in giving him a huge "THANK YOU" for all that he has done keeping this forum healthy and happy. Rick, you are a mod among men, and a man among mods. ![]() Mark (one of the three it takes to replace Rick ![]() |

Take a few hours off to attend a family event and look what happens! Some guy gives himself a new title, turns in his zapper, puts on his comfy slippers and takes up residence in the old leather recliner.
![]() Well, Rick, I guess you earned a break after all the time you've been keeping a close watch on the Forum. My thanks too for all the good work you have done in each of the three stages of this Forum. Look forward to the day you get back in the saddle and pick up the Mods cattle prod again. ![]() Ian (two of three). |

Rick has undoubtedly contributed as very few had in giving this forum its character.
Being a Mod is not easy, I know very well myself, and doing such a good work as it has been (and keeps being) done here is much, much harder. And, in the fulfilment of his duty Rick has ended up setting up a true "School" of moderation. And quite an efficient one, I must say, as time keeps proving... So, thank you, Rick. Thank you for your selfless service to our community in general and to this forum in particular. I hope we'll keep enjoying your presence around... ![]() Last edited by Marc; 20th June 2006 at 02:03 PM. Reason: Spelling |

![]() And he's not going anywhere, Katana, just hanging up his moderator hat. We would hunt him down and bolt him to his keyboard if he tried to retire entirely from the forum. ![]() |

A big thank you. As in all clubs, groups and so on, they all usually only function well because of the efforts of a few. A diamond geezer making things the DB's

If indeed there are no irreplaceable persons, there surely are some who are quite complex to fully replace.
Your moderation was superb. Thank you. |
