6000 posts ...time to say goodbye! [Retirement]

Post by papercoffee »

Well, not entirely goodbye ...I will be around and post here and there. But I will no longer be part of the staff crew.
It was a fun time and I will miss the long nights where I had to deal with mischief-makers of all kinds ( :| uhm).

I was getting tired and just skimmed through the posts without really reading them... It felt more like scanning for wrong placed threads and double posts. That's not really what I want to do in our community.
I decided it's time to resign and step back.

I was many times criticized for my harsh enforcement of the double post rule. Other people may think different about it... but I'm certain it worked and I could keep the forum clean and readable.

I suggest for the staff crew to change UnreaGecko into a full Moderator. :wink:

Shade, Dr.Flay, GenMoKai and Gecko... And my old comrades Ferali and Crev... It was a great time creating such a great place like UT99.org.
A place where people can exchange knowledge. A place to come back and have fun talking about UT and UT related projects.


I will now finally wrap up the contest maps ...it's shame that I couldn't manage to finish this pack on time. :wth:

Ps.: No E.Grins the double-post rule remain in effect :mrgreen:

Wow. How long you've been moderating? I don't think it was too long? Sometime you seem like the active one around here to keep thing clean and steer clear awhile I haven't seen other doing much activity.

Anyway, good luck.

I, for one, am glad to see you lose your powers. Your unsufferable attitude was a constant annoyance. :P

thank you paper for all the good things! you were very welcoming to me when i joined 6000 is quite a lot of posts!! quite a job you've done here :tu: hopefully you'll stay nearby and pop in as a "regular" user :) It's hard to get away from ut99, i actually play/played tons of other games besides ut99, but always come back to it for a spell - eventually - it is so easy to install and run... I suspect you might have more unreal/ut maps/projects (more food fighting perhaps?) or artwork/comics you can dabble with as well, of that i'm sure :D

Cheers to you, good health and good luck paperCoffee :rock:

You know, given paper said that 6000 posts are enough... in fact too much, it's very likely he'll never post or reply to anything here ever again except in PMs.

Now I'll never know what he thought of that CTF map I edited with him in mind!

Are you nuts? I have still to win the Last Post Standing thread.
I'm not gone ...I just don't want to be a moderator any more. My post count was that high because of all the rule violations :twisted: nehehe.

Btw. Shade or someone else of the staff, can you change me to a normal member?

Thank you all.
I'll have more time now and think about finishing some maps I planned in the past ...The 512k contest map included. :mrgreen:

Damn, you scared me for a second!

I completely understand being done with moderating the forums, I mean there is so much crap going on here with the flame wars and all that shit and that guy, Memsys he is the worst scumbag of all of them! Seriously how the hell have you managed to keep your dictatorsh... I mean moderating for so long?! /joke

Anyway, I hope you keep hanging around here on ut99 and I think you did a damn fine job keeping this place nice and tidy.
