Dave finally accepted my resignation as a mod

[Mr. Morden]

I emailed him a few weeks ago to step down, and he finally accepted it. 

Not spurred by anything more than six years as a mod is enough, and I was sick of doing the work.

Thanks to all of you who made my tenure interesting.  Or to put it as the POTUS would...

Aw, that's sad. We need more and better mods here, not less.

[Santander]

Thank you for your efforts over the years.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Truly end of an era.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Was gonna say "The end of an era," but Kal beat me to it RIPeebs

Wait really? Aw I thought you were just leaving that one forum. Who is replacing you as Modadmin then? Nym doesn't seem active enough to take over in the same capacity as you.

[The_Doctor]

Thank you for your work.

[Cashew]

A terrible loss for Atlas, understandable nonetheless.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Thank you for your service as Modadmin.

     Evidently muon has earned that gig.

Muon has taken my place as the secondary Modadmin.

I kept my resignation quiet until now (except to my fellow mods at the time) because I didn't want to invite any enemy spammers to take advantage of perceived weakness during the transition period.  Though, honestly, I did mention on the public forum last year that I was looking to step down some time in 2017.

Also, congrats to you and the others on being made a mod.

Oh yeah I just saw that.

All hail our new political overlord, muon2!

[White Trash]

You will be missed terribly.

So, I'm the one stuck in-between mod and not a mod? (I'm named as one on the main page and, appearently, can edit other people's posts, but I'm still a Yabb God and can't access the cave).

-Oh, god, no. This is a nightmare.

NO MORE DEMOCRATIC MODS

muon2 is a great choice, though, one I solidly respect.

I'm not really a Democrat, my friend.

[Green Line]

Didn't I say no more Democrats?  This place is off the rails.

[Mr. Morden]

Well, on the plus side for Republicans, Muon is now a modadmin, and PiT has taken Ernest's place on US General Discussion.

Ok, then I approve.  I like pit

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Thank you, Mr. Morden.

[LLR]

Oh, and Virginia and PiT are mods? Awesome.

[OSR stands with Israel]

You were a great mod

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

Virginia? A mod? Another terrible decision. The Republicans won last year; no Democratic mods should be approved until Dems take back the House, Senate, or presidency.

[LLR]

I will note, though, all three presidential election board mods now are pretty inactive...

[The Dowager Mod]

I don't get the idiotic Dem or Rep mod thing, Either your a good mod or not.

[Mr. Morden]

TJ's not inactive.  And actually, even when AndrewTX isn't posting, he still comes back every now and then just to process mod reports.

Honestly, at this early stage in the cycle, the 2020 board is very low drama.  TJ could probably do it all on his own, if necessary.

18 months from now, when things start to pick up a little, that'll no longer be the case.  By that point, if Likely Voter isn't active again, I'm assuming either he or Andrew will be replaced.
