It's Been a Ride!

Community,

It's certainly been fun and interesting but I believe my time as a mod has finally come to a close. Multiple years just drain on you after a while. I haven't been around like I should lately and think it's time to let the other mods have a chance at running things.

I have complete faith in the current team. I'll stick around to share some stories over the weekend.

~Econ

Edit: I'm not disappearing. I'm gonna work with the mods on transition and such. I've been mulling this about for a few months. I've asked many about stepping down over the last few months.

I should probably retire this account then. :(


[22 Points] throwahooawayyfoe:

It certainly has been a ride, that's for sure. I remember when Lobali and the other OG mods picked you to come aboard instead of myself (we were both on that same shortlist together ;) ). I can say they made a wise choice. You have handled your position with grace and I am happy to have had you leading our community. Your insight and treasure trove of valuable knowledge will definitely be missed around here, and I think I speak for everyone when I salute you for a job well done and wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors!


[17 Points] ark1406:

The only mod here that actually got shit done. You will be missed, much love man


[12 Points] OnAcidButUrThedum1:

Well Officer Econ, I guess this means your investigation is complete?

Can't wait to read the report you and MDMangel put together.

Much love to you man. You've done a great job and I know I will still see you around here and elsewhere. <3

The sub is changing guys! Econ stepping down and BBMC is gone...let's see what 2017 brings.


[11 Points] i_sink_and_I_DIE:

rip boys, you da best


[7 Points] BoofitORKoochit:

Ummmmmmmm Is anyone else scared shitless right now??? "Good Luck"??


[8 Points] IGetDankShit:

Damn. Sad to see this. End of another era.

The subreddit is losing a valuable asset if you're stepping down. Are you going to still hang around? Take a break for a while and come back? Seems like lots of people are dipping out or getting busted... maybe I chose the wrong time to return.

Anyway, thank you for your service. You were always professional to work with and did an excellent job communicating with the sub, especially in times of drama. I don't think most people know how much work goes on behind the scenes, and you did a great job running this place. You will be missed. Hope you stick around but wouldn't blame ya if you didn't.


[7 Points] DareToHope:

Thank you for all the countless hours you've sunk into here to help the community at large. I always enjoyed reading your community update / Situation posts. I feel you were one of the best mods when it came to crafting those type of posts.

I hope that you will stick around and enjoy being on this side of the fence, once you step back and take a breath. It's really quite nice.

Good luck!


[3 Points] Lucyintehsky:

No more silk roads getting added randomly to the market list, i would say this is a major upside for the sub.


[3 Points] octomarvel:

Does this mean sapio is gonna be headmod? (NSA taking over investigation of this sub now huh? lol)

I've got so many feelings right now.

When /u/theeconomist1 retires, he gets half the banter, but double the norcos" - me.

May your drives into the sunset be fast & fine free. Try not to break yo foot while kicking so much ass.

[3 Points] transdelta-9-THC:

Who takes the head mod position? Hopefully not Automod!

You should stick around to help with any potential recruitment of new mods.


[2 Points] ForLol_Serious:

Damnit who am I gonna joke around with about being a fed now =(


[2 Points] bigbawlzxm:

Good luck man. Hope you stick around for a little bit. Offer guidance, be an old head. Hope everything's alright for you.


[2 Points] fatttyjawn99:

[2 Points] 1percentof1:

[2 Points] CarAva_114:

You will be missed, mate! can't imagine any mod, as chill and right-amount-of-diplomatic for this subreddit!

Good luck, with everything. Stay safe!!

Care to share your favorite members and the little people that help out that stay hidden. I am sure there are quiet a few give them their recognition!

Fair thee well kind moderator.


[1 Points] MLP_is_my_OPSEC:

You were the bread and butter of the mod team, the glue that kept it together. Sucks to see you go but this'll be a much deserved break for you. You'll be able to post as a lowly regular user from now on, so that'll be fun!


[1 Points] Oktomom:
