Stepping down...

[TheIvanMuse]

You have probably not seen this coming, but... I'm stepping down from my moderator position. There are several reasons why I have decided to do this,so I'll just break down as simple as I can and as short as I can.

First of all, this is NOT due to anything happening on the forum. You guys have been great and this is not because of you. Over this time, I have surely grown more attached to MLK and to my computer in general,which is not a good thing. I have less time for things IRL and have therefore started to get worse at college,which sucks badly... I haven't been on taekwondo practice in two months and it's just making me feel bad over myself just letting it drop. I generally sleep less and are more late to everything. All in all, I've just stepped out of line with this all...

I want to thank the staff for putting up with me and being just plain great. This is not for good, when I get more time, I'll be happy to step up and get back on the moderator position. But... Just not for now...

Just a note, I am NOT leaving the forum,just the moderator position.
And hey,you guys will have it MUCH easier to count to 35 now,am I right?

This thread is also an announcement for something else. I am not leaving without a successor, so ladies and gentlemen, put your paws up for the new (rehired) moderator of MLK... ZEKE!
Congratulations man, I'm sure you'll do a great job.

Good luck with the RL stuff. I know how being a moderator can be a little overwhelming sometimes. I hope to see you around the forum and I hope you return to staff one day!

We've been thinking of getting Zeke back for a while But with Ivan stepping down, we're definitely going to need some help ^^ Welcome back to the team, Zeke!

Sorry to hear you had to leave, Ivan. I know that the internet is a thing that can greatly interfer with your life if you utalize it a little to much.

Congratulations to Zeke, I know you were an awesome mod before, so I'm sure you'll do a great job!

I semi-knew this was coming, but like I said on MSN; if it is best for you the I totally agree with and respect your decision and I am sure everyone else does too :].
You gave a great service to the Forums by being Mod here and I shall miss working with you but I am glad you are at least still going to be posting around :P.

And of course, congrats Zeke because from the times I have to talked to ya I have no doubt you were and will continue to be a pretty great staff member.
