buckee Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hey folks. I want to make something very clear. I am not stepping down, because of the work load in here. There are many of us mods who share that load, and co-operate with each other, and are always helping each other out. I'm not the only mod who is here all the time, or close by.if you need something. There are plenty. I am "NOT" a self proclaimed, "King of the Forums" and don't wish to be. There are too many other mods and even members that deserve that title more than I ever would, for the work they do in here. Thanks everyone for the vote of confidence, but It takes a heck of a lot more than one moderator to keep this place family. Contrary to popular belief, I am no King of anything, other than the toilet, at the moment, and I do not wish to take over the forums in any way shape or form. I've been accused of it a few times, by a very small number of people, and don't appreciate the insinuations at all. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy ...LOL It takes a well oiled Team to run this forum, not one guy, and we have a great team here. Some of us are a bit more visible and vocal than others, that may lead you folks to believe they are on their own in here, but that just isn't true. Please don't lay on me and the other mods, undue ridicule or praise...eh Thanks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 You are a great person Steve, wish you all the best my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Buckee's right, I'm King of the Forums. All jokes aside, I have no problem with your decision Buckee. Thanks for all the time you put in and as long as you're sticking around, what's the big deal? Heck, you might even enjoy the place more now. If you change your mind, I'm sure they'd love to have you back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 When I said that Buckee left big shoes to fill I didn't mean that the rest of the mods do nothing. I realize how much you guys and and you keep everything in line around here. Buckee simply left a big impression on alot of people and had a good rapport with everyone. To all the mods on here that don't get recognition.........cheers. Here's to you and all the behind the scenes you do...........Thanks.

fly Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Buckee, you and all the administrators have been GREAT! Actually just about everyone here has been helpful and thoughtful. I've only been here for a couple months, but already feel a sense of belonging. I can't imagine why anyone would complain:confused: >Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and respect your decision and appreciate all you have done for so many members here including myself Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 The thing I hate is being put on a pedestal. Sure, I realize in all fun and games, and all in jest for the most part, and Sure it feels good, and makes your head swell a bit, but it's a long ways down if you lose your balance. And some people actually starts believing you're something you're not, get mad at you for it, and accuse you of being something, other people call you. I didn't make these forums great.."WE" did. All of us together. (with a few exceptions of course..LOL:D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have said, all of the mods have done a great job keeping this a family place and everyone made these forums what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Now I can finally use that ignore button on you Buckee LOL, J/K! :D:p I accept your decision to step down...It's not our business to try and pry a reason why out of you or anyone, if it's what you want, then so be it, as long as you are still around . Now if you had been forced out, there would be reason to ask for an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Steve, I greatly appreciate the time you, and the other mods spend keeping these forums what they are. Thanks for all your time serving as a mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 well i respect your choice in stepping down, and hope i might be able to talk to you should i need some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyrod64 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well I for one will miss Steve being around. He has helped me out on more than one occasion. I know I don't post alot but I do get in and read and check things out. We just don't seem to have alot of these problems in the fishing forums. And I do my best to stay out of these confrentations. I see alot of them that I think are absolutely absurd, and maybe I should get more involved at times but we are all adults and should be able to work these things out in private. Anyways, I'm sure Steve will be around if needed and it's good to know he will for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
