Sam's resign

[Sam]

Hi all,
I'd like to inform you that I've told Darlene today to remove me from the moderation crew.
My time has come and I think there are enough staff members who can take care on these forums.

Thanks for your attention.

[nullify]

Sorry to see you go, but it's good turning back to the light side methinks.

[Clockwork]

[Soala]

I'm really sad to see you go. I will always remember the fun times on GK with Yann, and of course some events on the forums :P

Take care!

[Crono]

Really is a shame, you were the only one who actually recognized how ridiculous things are.

Take care.

[Rufus]

You were the first person to give me an infraction so I considered you the worst moderator we had. I know you listened to the players, took a lot of criticism on-board and always seemed to have a sense of humor about things though. For that, I think you're probably the best moderator we had. It's unfortunate that you're leaving but I really don't blame you, good luck in life!

[HirakoShinji]

You'll be missed.

[Gothika]

It's a shame to see you go. You were a Mod for the people. You always looked for a way to resolve forum matters in a peaceful and private way instead of just racing in with infractions. You were a good moderator and fair moderator.

I had some good memories with you on GK and I need to thank you for giving me a shot at being EM on GK which is a position I still hold today.

I wish you good luck in whatever you choose to pursue.

[TSAdmin]

*Dislikes*
But everyone has their time. Only you can dictate when that is, so I respect your choice Sad to see you go.

[Deas_Voice]

too bad, you were my favorite mod
i agree with the above posts about that you were the best and the nicest mod we ever had.

are you leaving graal as a whole or just leaving the forums?
people seem to have gotten this in their head that your leaving GK too
good bye and good luck with whatever your gonna do!

[cyan3]

Farewell Sam You were by far the best Moderator on the forums.

[MajinDragon]

We bumped heads in the past but you were the best Moderator. You weren't so quick to rush in with infractions and probably only 5% of mine are from you - deserved. I hope your replacement is as fair as you.

[kia345]

Sam, you were a total bro in my time of need, both here and in other places. You will always have a special place in my heart.

[Door]

Well that's it, I quit. This is my last post.

Sam, you were by far the best moderator on these forums. Crono and Rufus have already said it well, but I may as well add to it. You spoke to people with respect and tried to show that you understood or at least tried to understand them. In the sort of polar opposite of a vicious cycle, this encouraged people to understand your role as moderator and treat you with respect. Seems like you're the only one here who ever understood that.

Despite not being around lately, I can say with 100% certainty that I will miss you more than anyone else, and if anybody claims otherwise they are lying trolls and you should permaban them as your last forum act.

Anyway, I hope you drop in once in a while or at least leave us with an address so we can send you some OGCC postcards.

I love you Sam.

Goodbye.

[Crow]

Sad to see you go, but so be it.

Danke für deine Mühen. Tschüss! Leb ein tolles Leben

[Seeya]

I think you've been pretty biased in some decisions on the forums, but in-game on Graal Kingdoms i've always thought of you as a good guy. Take it easy.

[pooper200000]

Sam, I have appreciated working side by side with you and I appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you for the time you have invested in the forums and I hope to keep in contact in the future!

[Darlene159]

Sorry to see you go, but I do understand.

I'd like to say thank you very much for all these kind words. Some of you are not always go along with me, but at last we find mostly a way.
I'll say thank you that you guys are share some important years with me. Some of you were kids when we meet and now many of you are adults.
To say it clearly do not quit Graal completely, because I know that's not possible after so many years.
I asked Darlene to remove me as Super Moderator.
I also still have some gold time so maybe I'll drop in GK at times. Also I hope my germans on Graal will release Atlantis so I also will have a look at it.

You all here posting in this thread make me feel glad because you gave me the feeling that I did not make every thing wrong as mod.
I appreciate your kind words a lot and some of the posts makes me drop a little tear.
Thank you!

miss you already- keep in touch like pm me your msn xx

[OasaTor_PK]

Good bye Sam, I hope since you aren't a forum mod douche we can be civilized one of these days.

On a good note, keep in mind only Darlene remains of the "quality" moderators. Pretty soon we may have a median moderate age under 50.

[dNeonb]

Sad to hear, but still glad you won't completly vanish from the surface

Thanks for keeping an eye on the forums for so long!

[DustyPorViva]

I may not have gotten the best first impression of you, but over time I found you to be the most reasonable of the mods, and actually tried to listen instead of dictate. I know that's not giving you much credit considering the other mods, but I think you helped keep things a bit sane around here for the most part.

It'll be a pity to see the little sanity left disappear, but this place is dying anyways.

[Demisis_P2P]

I'll miss you more than Door will.

[Bell]

Sorry to see you go Sam but as was said before, all of us have our time.

[Sinkler]

Sad to see you go Sam! I wish the best of luck to you in your future!

[Jcs1919]

cyaaaaaaaaa

[benpoke103]

Good luck with everything Sam. I am sure you will be well missed by many people, including myself. Don't forget to randomly drop by and say Hello

[Brad]
