Hello Gang

Most of you only know me as a moderator here but for some reason I still felt the need to write this. Im not only the guy that tells people about the rules and gives infractions, I do much more. I fix broken links, I help people with their posts. I designed the last three or four headers for SCR even as far back as Reef Discussion and I have created countless graphics for SCR. I designed the RD shirts and Im designing the new SCR shirts. I even wrote the rules that some of you hate so much. I worked out the deal with MAX to get us to the show for the first time ever but more then all that, I do my best to check my personal problems at the door and be as helpful as possible here because I love reefing and I love this forum.

Im stepping down as moderator here today on my own and without any persuasion from management. Ive been really disappointed in a lot of the members here and nothing I do seems to make it any better. I hope you all remember that this is a reefing hobby, not ultimate fighting and we are part of a reef forum. We should all be respectful to each other. This place could be a great source of information if we all started caring a little more about reefing and our fellow reefers and a little less about the day-to-day burdens of this crazy world that brings us together in the first place. I hope you all can work on caring a little more about who could possibly be reading here, like new reefers or even children.

Best Wishes, :ciao:
Nick

Nick has done a lot for the site and I dont know where SCR would be without him. He stuck with this site while I was MIA. We would probably still have that amateur banner hanging above still :laugh:
Im sure like many of us, we hate to see you go. But hopefully your not going anywhere and continue to hang with us here. I would like to speak on behalf of SCR and Thank you for everything. -Mike

Nick, passion does need not go unseen. In otherwords...I feel your pain, but IMO you made the right decision. I am sure the ungrateful thank you for all that you have done for this site free of charge. I am sure you will continue on to do great things with your design talents. Let me know if you ever need any help.

Cheers, bro.

I don't think anyone fully comprehends how much work Nick has done on the back end of this website, sacrificing considerable personal time and effort, for no other reason then for the love of the hobby. I've been there and it stinks; you can fight off the little things, battle after battle, but eventually ignorance always wins the war.

Wish you didn't have to do this cuz we do need mods like you around. Some members just seem to enjoy "off topic" banter and think it's ok...(ex..Lady Gaga thread...seriously dude??..go to TMZ and rant about her, not a reefing forum). It gets offensive/out of hand quick but some people don't think that it is. Lame. Anyways I totally understand what you're saying and sad to see you step down. See you around and thanks!

Thanks for fixing my thread the other day :(
From what it sounds like you did a lot more than edit people's posts, but for the record some of us did notice.
