Swamphunter Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 God Buckee..you need to be here as a moderator!! You are very level headed and always sees through the bad times and posts that have occurred. Please don't leave as a moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Swampy, you should put your bid in. You could ban at you leisure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 That is his decision to make, not what WE WISH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 IMO Buckee and Realtree Forums go together like peanut butter and jelly. When I first joined in '02 he was one of the first to welcome me here and I felt like he was a best friend even though I've never met him. He's been an integral part of the success of this forum. Of course I would want him to return as moderator but as other have stated I respect his decision and want him to do what he feels is best for him. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I understand why he left. But everyone's right......Steve is a fixture in this place. We need him back in his rightful place...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think we should find out who pushed Buckee over his limit and publicly stone him or her How about a banning?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Steve, I always thought you did a good job, even when you chastised me, but the decision is definitely your's. You do whatever you feel is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think we should find out who pushed Buckee over his limit and publicly stone him or her Agree with that........ Whatever Buckee does is what he does.........we will just have to like it........... I would like to see, sniffle sniff, him come back as a, sniff sniff, mod, due to the fact that he has helped me out(especially in the Spiritual Threads), but as long, sniff sniffle, as he is around I guess I can cope.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Steve, I'm not going to guilt you into coming back either, whatever you want to do is fine with me. I'm sure you have your reasons, but like everyone else said... you hold this place together. As long as you're still a member of the forums, I guess I can get through this.

buckee Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Don't you worry, I ain't leaving the forums, unless I get banned I've made a lot of really good friends on here, and this place has really helped me relate to people, over the past 7 years, along with helping me with a few other problems, and giving me the opportunity of helping others. I didn't mind moderating at all, but it seems I have made a few enemies along the way. I don't need that. I love this place and we've got some great moderators to take up the slack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 As long as you don't leave Steve, I stand behind your decision. Being a mod wasn't the reason for you being such a great person or at least I hope not :D You mods are great, and it seems when you HAVE to enforce the rules, it always turns you guys into the "bad guy" even though you are just doing what you are supposed to do. Welcome to the dark side Buckee! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this place and we've got some great moderators to take up the slack How could you make any enemies???? :D:D I understand your reasons completely, you can never make anyone happy and you mods have a difficult job to do at times and all of you do it extremely well.

Great to know that you will still be around Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this place and we've got some great moderators to take up the slack Thanks for the update Steve...whatever you want to do is fine by me, just hang around and enjoy being an indian like most of the rest of us. Time to kick back and enjoy your retirement from being one of the chiefs in here. Sad to see though that you make enemies from time to time by simply enforcing the rules around here.

QDMAworks4me Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 You have done a great job as a moderator, it is sad to you step down but can understand why, sometimes the responsibility of taking care of a bunch of "adults" can be more than it would be worth. Glad to see you won't be leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksheephuntress Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 .......Steve......You know how I feel- -And , I want to say, that in my opinion, that Buckee-Steve...is one of the most valuable of moderators.....he is dedicated....always here(or at least close by)....able to make wise, diplomatic decisions.......and, he cares so much this forum, and Realtree... -What higher example of a mod could we have?

Michihunter Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Steve- Regardless of what your decision is or will be, you will be sorely missed as a Moderator. To anyone that has considered you an enemy, if you have a problem with Buckee you have got issues way beyond anything we could deal with here. Hopefully you can see the writing on the wall and save the rest of us members the grief of having to deal with you. Please don't go away mad, just go away.
