just wanted to pop my head in and make it official.

i am retiring from being a moderator here at stratics.
love me or hate me i did it all for free and the betterment of the UO gaming community.

im not leaving because im tired of being a kindergarten cop to the unruly few but rather im a firm believer that everyone should take their turns at volunteering and helping out the community.
and ive done my share and helped out, more then most, but still less then a rare few.
so now i will step aside and let someone else step forth from the mist and shine light where once was darkness.
i thought i knew everything there was to know about this game when i took over as being a mod of a professions forum, but its amazing how much you learn when others are counting on you to teach them.
whats the old adage.... you learn 70% of what you read, 80% of what you do and 90% of what you teach? well that is so true.

at any rate cheers to the people they get to come into the Bard Forums and Faction Forums and UHall here.

if youve ever wanted to try your hand at it maybe now is the time, drop the high command a note and express your interest in it.

its funny when i think back upon my time here.... im probably one of a very slim minority of people who have been banned from stratics and yet come back to be a moderator. but now without my leash on lets see what fun i can have once again! *insert evil laugh* :devil:

cheers

but this forum deserves a side note.
Barding has been my passion in UO for years.
and i can prove it! i have at least one bard and one disco tamer on every shard in the game.
EVERY..... SHARD..... IN..... THE...... GAME!
so thats not one or 2 bards, thats more like 50-70 bards ive made and play.
so to say its a hobby is more then a little true.

but alas its time for another to step up and take over.
there was a time when i use to frequent these forums and the old timers that use to moderate here got tired and left as well and then i stepped up.
now i am the old tired one, and someone must step up and take over where i have stumbled and fallen.
of all the proffesional forums i still think this one is the best and the most up to date, but then im biased, hehe.

have fun my friends!
i am off, there is a monster somewhere who is just craving to dance and lucky me, i have a lute and an attitude and ive been known to dance with monsters a time or two.

till we meet at the Salty Dog Tavern again.

Thanks alot Poo, for sharing your time, knowledge and experiences with us. Its was and is your dedication that enriches my bard play this much, that he became one of my few favorites .
Besides that, you present the facts in your essays and posts in a pure, educational style, which leads to a quick understanding for me (as a non-native speaker). I appreciate that alot.
While you stepped back, i am in the hope, that we wont loose your encouraging tunes.

With pointy ears....
