It's with sadness that a few weeks ago, Paul [1ponders] decided to hang up his moderator hammer.
Paul had been a moderator on IceInSpace for many many years, and decided that he needed to have a break from it given his reduced time in front of the computer in the past 12 months, and really just to rest
I really want to thank Paul for his dedication and support of IceInSpace over the past 6+ years. He's been a great friend and between him and the other moderators, we've had some amazingly fun times, despite the occasional stress
Being a moderator is a sometimes very stressful job, usually with little thanks or reward, and it takes a special kind of person to commit their time to a community like Paul and the other moderators did and still do - with nothing in it for them except to see the community thrive and be successful.
I really appreciate the job all the moderators do and thank Paul for his support and friendship.
Enjoy your time on the 'outside' and don't forget to use the 'report bad post' button
