Plain Old Tele Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I shall not keep you long. I have called you all together for a Purpose. First of all, three and a half years is far too short a time to be an admin among such excellent and admirable people. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. Finally, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. I regret to announce that — though I have said, three and a half years is far too short a time to spend with you as an admin — this is the END. I am going. I am retiring now. Good-bye. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Telemachos. All of this to say: After some extended consideration, I’m retiring as a member of the BOT staff. I’m doing this to be able to spend more time with my family, and to have more free time for my creative pursuits. I want to thank @Shawn and @Coco Bottle for offering me the position in the first place; I got a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction from being able to contribute to this wonderful place. And thanks to all the rest of the staff @baumer @chasmmi @CJohn @K1stpierre @The Shape of Pasta @JJ-8 @aabattery @DameronRoc @DeeReyEgonnnnn — you guys are awesome and I appreciate all the effort you’ve put into the forums. BOT has grown tremendously in the last several years and I’m honored to have been a part of it. This is truly the best place on the internet to talk about movies and the numbers behind them. Effective immediately, I’m stepping away from Admin duties. @The Last AndyLL @grim22 @#ED @Vanilla and @Impact will continue to be admins and I think they’re an absolutely fantastic team to lead us all. So now, I’m just Tele the poster. My last formal Moderation request is to quote Bill & Ted: Be excellent to each other. And party on, dudes! Much love to all of you. 49 24 2 15 Link to comment

That One Girl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 wait, so does this mean Tele won't get as many likes as he used to? and that we all have a chance to get above him on the all time chart? 6 Link to comment
