Thanks for all that you have done for us and all that you have put up with from us. This forum is as much a part of my SL experience as actually being in world, and I have always appreciated your efforts to ride herd around here. Enjoy your break! I join the voices that hope to see you back soon.

Heya Strife! Good luck and get some rest from all this nonsense. You do a great job and despite the crap you put up with from us, we really do appreciate you. Thanks for being tolerant and not banning or suspending me for all of my shenanigans.

Aki - don't listen to a word Strife says about all my shenanigans. I've never done anything wrong; I'm completely innocent and Strife is just out to get me. Ask anyone (please don't) they'll back me up (no, they won't).

Hurry back Strife. And no peeking in here while you're away. I know it will be hard to resist, but resist you must! :)

A well-earned and much-needed break for the avatar with one of the most thankless jobs in the Metaverse. This forum regular appreciates all you do for this forum and will miss you, especially on Fridays. Enjoy your break and I hope to see you back here soon! :)

For those of you who don't know, Strife does a lot more than just babysit our threads. Go here to see the nomination that led to the award Strife won earlier in the year:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/MISC-449


Jeez, not for nothing but you're always constantly hyping this guy. So he works the forums. So what? Many of us work good and hard too so what's the big deal? Many people who are in sl have thankless jobs too and? He chooses to do this, he's not forced into it.

Nothing against this guy, but Raymond, one would think you're actually him trying to get creidt for yourself.

This forum isn't for general discussion; there are many Resident Sites where this discussion is appropriate - Resident Answers is for Resident-to-Resident help.


Excellent, Chris. Threads are locked daily because according to the mods they're not "Resident Answers" material. The sensitivity is overwhelming.

But this one is resident answers material? It's no big deal I know but if you call it a certain way then keep it like that for everything and everyone.

Deleted the rest of my response so the ResMod has less work to do during the rest of his tenure.

*BIG HUG*
Strife, have a great time off duty, but please do come back....I miss you already....*sniffle*

(That said, as a cabbit, will you...turn into a spaceship and fly away? That would be soooo cool! *pets the cabbit*)

Cole,
Chris's post was a joke. It's a cut and paste from Strife's typical forum lock post.
Thanks for playing. Better luck next time.

I think it is right and just that Strife get some props now and then. He takes a lot of flak for his trouble and he deserves recognition. Raymond's just a champion of the underdog, and nothing more.

Strife, if I were you, I'd make it a one way ticket. You've done your stint in Hell, let someone else have it. Godspeed.

I think the biggest hastle, and I'm guessing here, is that he's got to do it alone. There hasn't really been much LL support here in the forums and most of the other resmods have wandered away. I think it'd be a much easier job if he had some peers..

Have fun, Strife!! Thanks for all your efforts here!

I'll throw in some hot chocolate, too. It's supposed to make you happy. o.0

Well, not if you're throwing it at him.

Then it just makes US happy.

No actually it wasn't a joke. It was pointing out Strife's unprofessional conduct. Threads where he is getting praised, he leaves open.

Actually, I think it's more like he seems to leave threads were people are saying nice things open than threads where people are not.

My condolences to Aki.... then again, strife has always had them. the ability to shrug and lock and just keep moving is a form of super power in my book.

so all hail the conquuering hero, as they ride of into the sunset, and welcome the new one....

I expect that hail will be translated as a spattering of parting shot, and quietening of complaints that "strife isn't a linden", and a massive upsweep of "LL is censoring us!"...

... and that's my resident answer
