Time to call time and retire from being a mod …

You will be missed. Thank you for all those words of wisdom.

Fair shout, thanks for all the effort you've put in.

Flippin eck, that 5 years went quick. I remember well when your yellow cape was new and crisp. I also seem to remember the orange pants were red back then, obviously over used and faded to orange now

Well done and thanks for your stint in the lounge but you do realise you've got to buy your own biscuits now

I can't add anything to what Paddy says.

All the very best Gareth.

Hi Gareth, I don't blame you really. It's a major commitment by you and your fellow Mods. Without wishing to sound condescending I have admired your sense of fair-play in your duties as a Mod (or Rocker) and we all thank you.

Lay back, think of England and have fun.

Best wishes Phil.

ps, I corrected your post for you.

hand back my yellow cape and orange over-pants (reckon I’ll piss them, the most ??? )

A definite up-side of resigning, however, is that after the 7th, I will never again have to venture into the Members Only area unless I actually want to, and can’t see that happening any time soon ().

Thank you to all who have offered and given me their help and support over the past five years, it has all been truly appreciated (copy of this thread also posted in the Collectors section, too, as most who operate in there seldom visit this bit, and visa versa).


Cheers: Gareth W-B.

Gareth didn't they tell you??? Any Mod who hands back the keys has to spend 3 months posting solely in the Members only section before they can pick up the "Golden slippers", lifetime supply of chocolate digestives and a bottle of decent malt whisky and enter the "gentleman's section" (that is the collectable section for the rest of you.)

The chair by the fire awaits you

The chair by the fire awaits you

... and I will plug it in. Well, your fair game now.

Thanks for all your past efforts which, as you can read, have been much appreciated

This has not been an easy decision to reach, and I have been mulling it over for several weeks now, but as the 5th Anniversary of becoming a forum moderator approaches (March 6th to be exact), I feel the time is now right for me to hand back my moderator's super-hero yellow cape and orange over-pants.

The reasons for this decision are all time related, as holding down two jobs while also finding as much time as possible to see my three kids (they live primarily with their Mum / my ex), coupled with me also wanting to actually enjoy using the BBS as a punter, and still squeeze in a bit of recreational shooting, means I can no longer find the time needed to execute my share of the forum’s moderator duties (approx three hours a day) correctly, and so I feel the time is now right for me to stand down.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working for the Air Gun BBS as a forum moderator with the rest of the moderating and admin team (a crackin’ bunch of blokes), and hope that my contributions have been of some value to both the forum itself, and the membership in general (although I know of a few people who will be glad to see me go ) …

I will officially step down at midnight on March 7th, at which point I will relinquish my key to the mods secret lounge bar, hand back my yellow cape and orange over-pants (reckon I’ll miss them, the most ??? ), give back my mod cyber tool box of special buttons, and return to being a regular BBS member.

Your genteel and gentlemanly approach will be greatly missed Gareth, however you still have your amazing super hero toblarone gun packing skills to fall back on

All the best
