• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Resignation

:crybaby: Please reconsider. I am back from an official mission and these are among the worst news I could read when turning on my computer again. There are simply no words to tell how much you have done and you represent for this forum. Your behaviour as moderator has been simply a textbook example of efficiency, kindness and professionality. With you at the rudder this forum has been the best moderated forum I ever seen on the Internet, and I am not exaggerating an inch in my wording.
 
Hi Jagd,

Please consider that you are at the 32d km of a Marathon, tough time but carry-on it will be soon ok again...
Definite respect for your decision whatever but this is worse than any hacker can do.

Cheers
 
Jagd, like others have stated I wish you would reconsider but if you stay with your decision then best of luck to you and don't be a stranger on the forums. Thanks for your even-handed moderating. :)
 
Dave,

almost everything is being said. I respect your decission but I hate to see you leaving. You have been the backbone in the cfs2 world and I would like to thank you for a job brilliantly done: BRAVO ZULU
Fair winds and following seas and I hope to meet you again in this forum.

THANKS

Achim
 
Always there , Always fair ,
Best of luck & best wishes to two guys who made the Out House a great place to be !!

You will be missed
OTTO
 
I've been off line for the past 14 weeks and this is NOT what I wanted to come back to.

Dave, I will miss you but hope that you will still be around when I need you. (some of us old Army guys need more help than other ... )

I can't think of anything to add ... it's been better said by the rest of you.

Damn-it-all anyway!

:wavey:
Well Dave, every good thing must come to an end, but I guess we are never ready to face the end . . . at least that seems to be the consensus of the simmers who have jumped on this thread.

I--as the rest of the group--am saddened to see you go, and I hope that this doesn't mean that you will be dropping off the radar. I still would like you to be available to bounce off an idea-or-so.

It's been a great flight! Will miss you.

Enjoy! :ernae:
 
!!!!??? Do what you feel is best for you, but.....you're guidance through the years will be missed. I hope you keep in touch...

Thanks for your help....:ernae:
 
What the . . . !

:jawdrop::jawdrop: Dave! Think about me. Think about what I want. What if your replacement does not understand my lovingly sarcastic remarks and throws me out!

Well, OK, maybe I'm being selfish. But, I do want you to stay. If you need a psych to moderate a personal conflict I'm offering my services. But, if its truly political, Dirtman can find someone to settle this for $500. And, we will all pitch in to cover that:costumes:.

I know a better idea. We'll all sign a pledge to you and threaten to follow you to another site.

Dammit Dave, can't you see I'm wallowing in desperation here! :banghead: But, if this is truly what makes you happy, you are leaving with all our love. And, that's not sarcasm, just a straight from the heart emotion. :crybaby:

To management: As consumers of this product, we have a right to say, SETTLE THIS PROBLEM RIGHT NOW OR WE WILL ALL . . . ?

To Jagd:

Brother Dave;

When I first read this the other day; my first reaction was: shocked & absolutely speechless. I never saw this coming .... never thought this would happen .... never imagined it could.

With time the shock has faded, being replaced with feelings of true sadness and of great loss.

I find it difficult to imagine of our forum without you at the helm. Your Leadership, knowledge and sense of humour have all come together to form the best Moderator I have ever had the privilege to be associated with.

In the 3 years I have been a member of SOH; you have earned my utmost respect & admiration. I see you as an individual, towering head & shoulders above everyone else. Sir; you are truly 1 in a billion. We have all been most fortunate for your guidance & friendship.

I could beg you to reconsider your decision; but in reality this would only be an insult the great person that you are. I know you to be a man of solid character; one who is not prone to making emotional choices. You are also a man of principle; this is something not given but learned & therefore: earned. So again I do not possess the right to second guess you.

I will accept your decision and will wish you all the best my friend; calm seas and clear skies. Plus all the joy & happiness that any man could ever dream of.

If I had one wish; it would be that the situation and reason that has caused your departure could somehow be resolved.


********************

In the past we have seen Gawd move on to FSX. Then Mosses left us for CFS3.

About the only thing I could possibly say would be: Jesus Christ - I really don't want you to leave too!!!

- Sorry ... but I just had to leave you with a smile on yer face Bro :d


-
Brother Tom ... aka Dirtman


**************

But on the up-side:

Perhaps now you'll have the time to become a full-time - card carrying - "inmate" of "Dirty's Dozen"?????

Face the facts Dave; there just ain't no escape!!!

Sometimes things build up until you just have to step back and take a good look around and a deep breath of fresh air. I know that feeling. In a short time what ever problems you are having with some of the charactors at this forum will fade and you will see their antics in a differant light.At that time you may say I can handle this and return ,or you may go on to make missions,paint aircraft or do whatever you do best and let someone else shoulder the load of moderator.To be able to enjoy this hobby of ours is of paramount importance. Mayby you are not enjoying your involvment as moderator anymore. Do something else less stressfull for a while. Take a good break. Still hope to see you around the forum. Have a good one.

BLONDI:cost1:
 
Dave; I forgot to add a couple of things to my previous reply:

For Your Service Sir; Far Above the Call of Duty:

...every good thing must come to an end, but I guess we are never ready to face the end . . . at least that seems to be the consensus of the simmers who have jumped on this thread....

...It's been a great flight!...

You may have MY CFS2, ....when you PRY it from my COLD, DEAD FINGERS!

I'm not goin' anywhere, ...and neither is Jagd, ...or the rest of you basement commandos, ...THAT'S an ORDER!

In Management, ...it's called the "Cesspool Syndrome".

Senior Admin., ...W/ their heads "Up'N'Locked", ...impose structure and values upon the staff that are aligned w/ their own myopic views and opinions, ...and not relevant to front-line management realities and needs.

Subsequently, ...the best and brightest leave...

...and the "bobble-heads" that couldn't pour piss from a boot, ...even if the instructions were written on the heel, ...fill the vacant slots.

The least qualified people rise w/in the unit w/o the forcing function of competence and success to propel then.

In a Cesspool, ...Turds float to the top...


For one, ...I am GLAD that if Jagd was PO'd enough to leave, ...he did.

He will still have FULL RIGHTS and PRIVILAGES here in the Basement, ...and will probably have MORE time to enjoy CFS2 w/ the limited time he has carved out of his busy schedule Defending Our Country, ...and being w/ his family.

As for us, ...hold your nose...

...and to the SOH senior Admin., ...Thanks Buckets, ...Komrads...


P.S. Like the "spell-check", ...Thanks ICKIE...
 
Oh S#%&! we're in trouble now! Jagd and Huub, I guess the success of this site is your Medal of Honor! Can anyone name another one that has done this well? We were fortunate for the time we had!:ernae:
