In his post just under here, he says this was five years ago. Please tell me the last five years haven't gone that quickly !!

I had the same memory, and I had the same thought!

A few have said they are sticking around, I hope you all do. This place just wouldn't be the same without you. Cheers!

They're not leaving the forum or giving up the love of astronomy - just resigning from moderator duties!

It certainly wouldn't be the same without them

Well, I remember a thread I started something like "vote for the best astro supplier" (Guiness induced),opinions not accepted , provided a list, and started a poll. I punched the stopwatch and waited. Within 2 mins flat Houghy had deleted the post and yelled at me via PM. I was most impressed, awesome moderating and passed the mod test with flying colors. I knew it was impossible for you lot to wear the obvious ensuing greif and liability issues. In that 2 mins I got a heap of angry posts and PMs demanding to allow opinions on the time they got done in by suppliers.

It was at that instant that I understood the crap you guys must have to endure.

I salute you and the the thankless task the mods have. Top work .

There was some other minor stuff, always me being stupid, moderating was always appropriate.

Thanks guys for your work. Ice in Space is the premier astro site on the net and I have watched it get better and better over time.
