YeW Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Guys - As most all members (and some new members) will know I used to run what used to be called the SCP forums, now ACE forums. I stood down mid-way through last year and have (and will continue to) been enjoying being a "normal" member. I thought I'd take this opportunity to thank to mods/admins/mechanics for providing this service to us all. I think they are doing a great job - and believe me, it can be a very thankless job! Just to give the members who've not been involved some idea of what is involved... Administrating (and moderating) these forums is a daily chore, that's every day - virtually. You get offensive emails, sometimes threats (physical, legal and verbal) from a goodly range of scumbags, you essentially deal with the forum only when there is a problem. You have to chase people for money to continue to provide this for free, find monthly photo contest prizes, organise BBQ's etc This ensures that we (you and I) get to use the forum without the riff/raff and feel we can post with some measure of security. Sometimes this gets to the point where you feel like your only involvment in the forums is in your role as a mod or admin -> and you no longer enjoy your time here as "we" members do. So I'd just like to say thanks - and what a great job I think you guys and gals are doing. Better you than me Cheers - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burek Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Ya, You Mods and admins and mechanics have don one heck of a job on moderating this forum and you have done a job well done. Without the mods, who knows what this forum would have in it Again, a big thanks to all the mods,admins and mechanics, especially BaZ the man Cheers Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatoscarlover Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Dave you sure do see it diffrently when youve run a forum! When i was "just a normal member" and not modding on any forums i had no appreciation for what was envolved, now that im alot more active in modding 2 diffrent forums i totally understand the tedious junk these guys go through everyday just for the love of the hobby! Good on ya guys as dave said it a fair thankless job but your doing it well. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Yea after modding on a largeish US based forum I can honestly say, it truely is a thankless job. I found it funny when I got sent death threats, but they were from 14 yo US born Asian Gangsta Wannabe's I'd probably take it more seriously these days. You guys are doing a terrific job upholding the 'law of the land' so to speak, and keeping all those undesirables out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoges Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hear Hear!!!

Well done - you should be very very proud \ My fish also say thanks!!! This forum has saved and made them healthier than I could have ever done alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrdog Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks from me to all who work behind the scenes. I honestly have no idea how much effort goes into the running of this awesome site but what I can do is say thanks. . Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I honestly have no idea how much effort goes into the running of this awesome site On average, an hour a day per mod / admin, just dealing with admin stuff (emailing members, altering accounts, moving threads, processing classified applications etc). Then when we have "problem" members, it's much more than that THEN we get to read all the posts made that day. Thanks for the support everyone. It is a thankless job, and it's nice when you see that people do appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping a large forum running relatively smoothly.

anchar Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks guys...for the most part it is a pleasure. On the days when we have a hassle, well, it's often entertaining to say the least merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
