Poisedon is in the hall of fame, (Sorry if this is old news) Congrats Poisedon! I don't know what you did, but maybe something good. Congratulations and we will still remember that you help us. Yay! :h-biggrin
EDIT: I just relalised that he has stepped down from modding. Sorry Poisedon :(

Ah, thank you.

I've stepped down due to a death in the family, unfortunately, and will need to be away for a lot of time. Thanks for your appreciation. :)

I am so confused. So the "Hall of Fame" is a bad thing? That seems a little backwards to me....

The hallf of fame I believe is for Moderators who have stepped down and still come to check back every now and then.

neoteny if you are a sports geek like me you would get it.
hall of fame is a good thing with people who did good works and goals.
Shorts and pod were good mods but for pod death in family and shorts i have no idea. but we will remember them in our hearts allways no matter where it goes it is allways in your heart. THX SHORTS AND POD!!

Hall of Fame is the group for X-Mods, who battle the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants...

er, that is, they are usually ex-mods, the group is a way to honor them for their past work. The group gets many of the extra privs that would normally go with a subscription like larger PM space, sig & userpage.

The particular reason why someone has gone to the HoF is treated as personal, and it's their business. They are not encouraged to discuss their reasons for no longer modding.

Sometimes we have had mods come out of retirement in HoF as well.

I'm sorry about your family Poseidon, I'm sad you're not a mod anymore.

You 3 (shorts, spin, and wendot) did/do the majority of the work.

(not taking anything away from others :))

Well said, ShadowScamp

Every mod contributes a lot to these forums, whether you can tell or not :) Just remember that "modding" doesn't only mean announcements and lots of informative/helpful posts. There are plenty of "behind the scenes" actions, housekeeping with post/thread moving and editing, reported posts, group memberships to approve, private messages to answer, and much much more that keep this place running successfully.

Don't be misled by what you see (or don't see) and think that any mod or admin slacks off. However, mods do take the occasional vacation (i.e. real life) away from the forums. ;)

And you're right, everyone helps out - that means all the users who follow the rules, post great stuff, and report the occasional bad thing help out the mods and the site ALOT :D

Please don't think that one mod or another does more or less work. There are many things that the mods do that are "behind the scenes" that you never see. In addition, posting a lot (such as myself) does not necessarily mean that I do more work, it only means that I have a big mouth :)

To be honest, it's not my decision, just as it was not my decision to leave. You'll have to talk to Nick on this one.

It will be hard without PMing Shorts about EVERYTHING (Haha), But once a mod, always a mod in my book. If I have a question and only Shorts is on for something like that, she still has the knowledge! By the way, I want all of the mods to know that NONE of your work is un-appreciated. We all care about it, even if sometimes we don't show it. As for Poseidon, Didn't really know you well, but from what I've heard you were a very kind person. Sorry for your loss. And it's true, even if regular members can't close posts, edit other people's posts, sticky, or anything of that matter, we can still help out! Just by contributing nice, helpful posts and reporting the occasional bad post is helping! So even if we are not mods, we should all try to help the ones that are. Thanks for listening and sorry we have to see you go. Hope to see you around!
