I know that I haven't been shouldering the admin burden for very long, in comparison to Mandy or JA, but I am afraid that I have reached the end of this road.
Hmmm... no... that sounds too permanent...
Long story short my friends (and enemies), is that with a new job, a new baby, and my new role as primary bread winner for the family, I find that my online time is much more limited.
I don't really WANT to leave my lofty admin position, but at this stage in my life, my nightly time is limited to random posts and arguments-- I just do not have the time to commit to being more than an average member. This may change in the future, but for now, I just wouldn't feel right logging in once every couple days and still holding my title. So it is with heavy heart, (and heavy pockets thanks to all those community supporters), that I tender my resignation.
I shall still be around, and perhaps some day I will indeed rule over you common folk again, but for now, I turn in my key to the Super Secret Admin Clubhouse of Doom.
To help fill the void, and keep Nightly on track as the coolest innarweb messsage board evar, we have decided to promote a couple of long-standing moderators to Administrator position. I am talking about the esteemed, well spoken and universally loved Jason Solo; and the proudly Star Wars obsessed, cute as a button, multiple degree holder Mara Jade Skywalker.
If you love them... applaud.
If you hate them... HA-ha! [/nelson]

And for my new bosses, I get off early on Fridays, and require 30 days of paid leave per year. On top of that, I expect full Medical and Dental insurance and a hefty pension.
That is all.
(Congrats you two )

Thanks Tank, and the rest of you guys. I think it was the speech I pitched that won me the job.
"If elected administrator, my first act will be to kill the whole lot o' ya, and burn your community to cinders!"
I knew I had it then.

Cool! Jason Solo as Admin means somebody new for me to annoy about stickying topics in The Arena when Jacen isn't around on Mondays or Thursdays!
Mara as Admin fits 'cause for some reason I thought she was already an Admin when I joined Nightly. Took me awhile to realize otherwise, but that's all been fixed now

Maybe it's like Blade Runners' theory on people liking ROTS...maybe you can fool him into thinking he likes you

Naw. He just thinks I've got something against gays, which I don't. That's why he's singling me out here. I just caught him up in a moment of hypocrisy.
Now Jason Solo...he has actually gone on an unprovoked personal jihad against me. So I'm more than a little weary of his promotion.

I won't deny getting into it with you before, but that was the past. I had always assumed we were past that after co-existing on multiple occaisions since then. Besides, even if I did have something against you, which I don't, part of the job dictates putting aside bias's anyway.

Yay Jason and Mara! You two whole heartedly deserves the Administration title. Congrats.
I'll be sure to give you two plenty of work to do.

Oh, Jason I have to ask. How many sexual favors and human sacrifices did it take for you to get the position?

If you were in my position, I'm sure you'd have the same concerns.
