Effective once an admin sees my e-mail and takes action on it, I am resigning my position as a mod of S&A.

Those of you who have been around for awhile may have noticed my participation has dwindled in recent months. It's reached a point now where I can no longer fool myself into thinking I come around enough, or am able to come around enough, to mod this forum as much as I feel is necessary. A severe time crunch has made it so that I have to fit in half-assedly checking &TOTSE once every few days, and that crunch will be worsening with the start of football season and having a girlfriend, even if it's somewhat of a long-distance thing at the moment.

I may return if I need e-mail addresses to contact certain people; there are a few I would like to meet eventually, although I'm in semi-regular contact with some already. Outside of that, I'm not likely to visit much, if at all. It's a tribute to &TOTSE and all of you that I would even consider checking in during rare downtimes, as I've never been able to do so other places without feeling like a douchebag lurker.

I leave the door open for a return, but as the odds of that are not good, I'll say my general goodbyes now. Mojo, Cindy, and psycho are in charge now; I see no need to add another mod, although it may be decided a fourth is desirable. Not really my decision anymore.

To everyone who has been a part of my experience at &TOTSE, for better or worse: It's been a fun ride. May our paths cross in person one day.

Spiffy

nice little speech you got going there

Thank you SO MUCH for all of your hard work! You should go down in the mod hall of fame er something. I hope you come back after the season because your posts are really missed around here... it won't be the same at all! But good luck, play some good ball, and enjoy having a real life.

(and hopefully you'll stay in touch?)

*anguish*







Well, good luck with everything..

I cant beleive your dumping Totse..



*hugs*

You just can't Leave Totse.

It'll haunt you to you come back!

Did you ever know, that you're my hero?

Seriously, you're my role model. You manage to sound amazingly profound about everything and you constantly amaze and enlighten me.

Thank you so much for your hard work, I know you'll be very missed.

Spiffy:

You're the greatest!! We all love you and wish you the best!! Love, Venus.

You have a girlfriend? What happened to not being percieved as a sexual being?

I'm so upset. You were here when I first came to &TOTSE almost a year ago. Was Mojo even a mod then? Please stay... I love you

Sorry to see you go spiffy, you are (were) probably the most interllectual, mature, sincere, meaningful poster totse has ever seen

I cant help but feel a little upset

may life treat you well...

Love ya (in a completely heterosexual way) Spiffy, even if I pissed you off a bunch, you still are one of my favorite posters. Good luck in life, kiddo.

I never really talked to you before, but I seen you're post, and I know that the advice you give is helpful. So I guess all I have to say is goodluck.

Spiffy, you've given so much to the forum and &totse in general. Those of us who've had the pleasure of reading your erudite posts have been touched in one way or another. You're defintely a legacy here.

Thank you for all the time you've put into the forums, you'll be missed.

My first totse crush leaving? *sniffle*

You've given a lot of good solid advice, which everyone here appreciates. I don't know who gave you permission to 'get a life' but I hope everything works out great with your newfound time and GF commitment... good luck!

Bye Spiffy

I figured it would be rude to not at least check the replies until this thread falls into the ether. I appreciate all the well-wishes with the utmost sincerity, so I hope you'll forgive me if I don't thank each one individually. Moving along:

Sure, I respond to all the e-mails I get. spiffy@lotgood.com

It would have in the past. Now, it won't, which is why I can do this.

Apparently I've figured it out. There is some drama involved, unfortunately. We're not *technically* a thing yet, as she's still dating a friend of mine, if only because she won't break up with him except in person and she lives two hours away. This weekend is D-Day, so to speak. It's extremely ironic that I came to this conclusion about leaving just before I had a situation come up that was worthy of this board.

You have my e-mail addy. Also, there's a good chance my roommate will be moving to Orlando in November, and I intend to help him. I'll hang out with you then, if not before. I know it's a little distance, but fuck it, we'll figure it out.

I hope things work out for you, spiffy. Let me know. Hopefully I'll see you in Virginia.

Take care,

anne.
