1) Hard time thinking of many posters that have contributed as healthily as you for so long. Glad you're in this position.
2) Madison; thanks for your contributions and be well. Despite this situation I'd still like to see you contribute down the road.
3) Assuming you will let us know but in the event any pay issue comes up I for one wouldn't mind donating $5-10 to pitch in each year for what's needed. I'd rather not, because I'm a cheapskate, but I love this place enough to contribute and likely wouldn't be alone.
4) I've never had to get in touch with the mods for an issue in my 15 years here, but up until recently I was always under the impression anyone with fancy colors/stars (unless explicitly stated otherwise) was a moderator. The rules page on this was last updated in 2014. For those going forward who may want to contact a Moderator and not want to accidentally burden someone else I might recommend a post in the rules or FAQ listing all active moderators that can be edited as needed. I know online Staff is listed at the bottom if they're there but it's not immediately intuitive.
Keep up the great work. I love coming here and despite not often messaging people anyone who wants to shoot the shit, please feel free to.

If you ever need me, I am here. Except when I'm not here, then I won't be of any use and getting me to do something would be just silly. Either way, I may or may not be here to help [\rajah]

So will you be the sort of General Manager who puts people who have wronged you in handicap steel cage matches?

*slides “World’s Greatest Forum Admin” coffee cup into a trash bin*
Yeah I didn’t want the job anyway....
I’ll just tell the kids there’s no Christmas this year because daddy didn’t get the big FAN promotion.
(But seriously it’s a good pick. I love that new admin smell!)

Thank you for this post! I'm a female fan and I find this forum to be one of the best when it comes to the treatment of women in wrestling, but there are still improvements to be made. I have no issues with anyone saying they find xx wrestler hot, it's just when things cross a line or their entire existence gets reduced to hotness that makes it alienating.

So will you be the sort of General Manager who puts people who have wronged you in handicap steel cage matches? No, but based on my theater history I am the very model of a modern Major General, so that should work. EDIT: I've seen a couple people here and now in messages asking about things like discussions involving politics. Those who know me are fully aware that I'm a highly political person, and when I teach civics a key lesson I try to instruct is that literally everything in life has some kind of a political component to it, so I get the desire, but we're not likely to change too much on that front. The chief goal we go by is avoiding overtly partisan politics: outside of specially designated threads usually reserved for election nights, nobody here is particularly interested in hearing your direct opinion about the people currently occupying, say, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or 10 Downing Street, or having things devolve into "my side is better than yours" or whatever. Still, it's not like we haven't allowed discussion of sensitive issues here before; just the nature of the current Speaking Out movement fits that bill, and we've had threads in years past on matters such as the Ferguson protests and various fraught moments within the realms of gaming or comics. We just ask for some patience as we, as a staff, figure out if there's a proper way to navigate things on certain topics in what is clearly a socially and politically stressful year.

This is the only wrestling board I really like posting on, because the moderation keeps it so the vibe here is more friendly, and there's less flaming and hostility.
So while the rules may seem strict at some times, I can see why they are there.
It's gonna be a bit different not seeing Madison's name popping up on here. I barely ever really interacted with him(since I don't post very frequently), but I always loved his insight on wrestling. If anyone had a question about some really obscure wrestling trivia, he's the guy to go to.
Anywho, glad to see we got a new admin who always seemed pretty cool to me. I'm happy that the dynamic and rules of the board won't be changing too drastically, too.

I eagerly await the first major political discussion thread that gets heated and locked with a giant note on it "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS POLITICAL ARGUEMENTS" EDIT: I never a participant in them, I just like reading them.

I'm still trying to process what happened with Madison, TBH. All that said, I can't think of anyone better to fill his place than you, Joe. You're someone I consider a friend and know you're a good dude. And hell, I gotta go to bat for not just a fellow Jersey guy, but a fellow Devils fan. Good luck, man. Our new overlord is From Jersey!?!? A DEVILS FAN!?!?!?!?!?!?! Blues fan here...I'm still pissed about Scott Stevens Last year helped, though.

No, but based on my theater history I am the very model of a modern Major General, so that should work. I have a complaint. You just put that earworm in my head. I'll probably be singing it all day...
