Until further notice (most likely for the entire holiday vacations) I will now remain as regular Omnimaga forum member, active posting, but I am retiring from my administrator position. This means I will not be answering forum-related requests for the entire time.

Since I quit calculator programming 4 months ago, I do not have anymore calculator projects, and thus, I cannot remain in the programming team either. I also do not have any op privilege on Netbot45 anymore. So for now, I will be a normal forum member instead of staff or manager. I will still be as active posting as I am now, though.

The reason why I am temporary resigning is due to the increasing amount of stress that comes with a forum manager position since the past two and half a month, ranging from moderation to large amounts of requests. I like to participate in forum discussions, but the extreme amount of stress the admin position came with in the past months has made me lose motivation over time. Before, I was impatient to come back from work and check forum active topics and participate. Now I have to force myself to post, most of the time. When I feel like posting, I usually end up spending the entire time into moderation, instead. Sometimes, it also seems from the people involved that I'm not even doing a good job at running the site. In other words, this is why I need some time off from my admin position, and would prefer to simply remain a regular active member. I had in mind to do this for over a month already. Today the time has come.

For site requests and issues, you will now have to ask Hot_Dog, Eeems, Builderboy or Ztrumpet, depending of their activity, as the task is now distributed among them.

Poor DJ. I'm really sorry about all the stress.

I can definitely see where you're coming from, and I hope you enjoy your break. It's definitely a well deserved one.

Keep in mind everyone that he's not leaving us forever

active posting,

and that he won't even not be as admin for that long:

(most likely for the entire holiday vacations)

(not that I'm holding it to you to un-retire as soon as holidays are over )

Also to DJ, remember that we have 4 other admins and 10 staff that can help you out on the moderating side; we'll always (at least, most of the time ) be here to support you

If I could work on TAO (*couch* Eeems *cough* oasis *cough*) then I could become a COT.

Anyway, Dj, enjoy your vacation!

What about Spasm/Brass/ZDS?

Anyway thanks guys.

Have a nice break, and good luck keeping the stress down.

I can indeed imagine the stress of running this thing. Also because it seems that I provoke lots of stress around here :s. So, it's nice to see you're gonna relax for a time

This is better than before when it was because people were disrespectful to DJ.  Somehow, I don't think this is not going to change much.  DJ will still post, and we will still all respect him, manager or not.
