Fellows, I haven't been posting here very much lately, but I am still sad to hear this. To be brutally honest, I couldn't stand you one bit when you first came to AI. My religious opinions seemed to be completely opposite of anything you ever mentioned. After a while you really grew on me. I was a little nervous when you first became a moderator, but to tell you the truth, you did a wonderful job and really impressed me with your ability to stay unbiased. I hope to still see you around.
dude, you are awesome! seriously, you have totally made these boards great. i always love reading your comments, and, yeah, i am sad that you won't be a mod here, but very thankful that you will still be around. i love you man!
[we interrupt this lovefest for an apology from me to you]
I owe pfflam an apology. He posted here about a private message from me and I must have deleted it when I went to add my two cents. The word "fascist" was thrown around, and I have mud on my face because in my attempt to set the record straight, I did exactly what I made a case for him! Seriously, I'm rather embarrassed about it. Sorry.
See? If Fellowship had been here, none of this would have happened. </deflecting blame>
Moderating AO is really difficult. We will be happy if people helped us. We are not perfect, give our time for this duty, and try to keep this forums civil. This place is and will be never a free for all place.
If nobody is here to moderate, this forum will be closed, or at least any political related discusssions removed.

I wonder. What would happen if this place was totally unmoderated? Would it go to hell and all serious people would just leave or become trolls themselves? Or might it stay the same or even get better?

Well I have an experience of a rather unmoderated french forum of photographia : some threads are pure flamebait, personnal attacks, and insults (the worst ones). The admin finish to kill this lames threads, and one or two times per year, to ban a couple of trolls (who will appear back under a different name).
This thread are horrible, and you get angry and annoyed to read such craps. Even moderate people like me, must resist to the envy of participating in such threads, to say to these people to go away (and they are waiting for this IMO, like any good troll). Some members want to do the police themself, and become trolls them-selves. With time I have learned to avoid suspects threads, but from time to time, I open a lame thread, and while reading it, I become angry.
I don't think we are surfing to get angry. People love friendly places, just a very few of us, love flamewar.
I don't want this mess, and the Staff don't want either.

No biggy . . . and apologies for throwing 'fascists' around too . . .
We are getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic here. If people are done giving Fellowship their best wishes (I can't imagine. I mean, I don't see enough people posting in here! ), then we can post in other threads for other topics.

Fellowship, what an intriguing statement!
Thanks for keeping all the monkeys in AO in line these past few months, you're good at it.
Hope to still see you around a lot, both here and elsewhere
