kiore · #1 by **kiore** » Oct 19, 2011 5:13 am

Ratskep staff regret to announce the departure of starr from the staff and from her key role as Senior Moderator.
Starr has made an extra ordinary contribution to setting up and maintenance of this community and has volunteered a significant amount of her time since the early days of the forum.
We wish to formally thank her for this and wish her all the best, thank you starr.

Well, let me tell you...

Starr did pretty well. Seems to me there was the odd occasion where she didn't agree with me, though. But, on the other hand, she did write an entire song for me. Which, in retrospect, still puts me in her debt.

She demonstrated good leadership and management, and has served our forum well.

Many thanks for all your time and effort - you can enjoy yourself now causing havoc on the forum! :lol:

Thanks for all your great work, starr. (I'm sure i've already said this in another thread. Are there two of them?)

Mazille · #9 by **Mazille** » Oct 19, 2011 8:45 am

Well done, Faireh Queen. :cheers:

I'll miss you in modtopia...

Who's going to spank me now? :sigh:

Thanks mate. You were fabulous.

I hope the experience didn't cure you of the internet.

Come play now.

rJD · **#11** by **rJD** » Oct 19, 2011 8:55 am

Thanks Starr, for all your work. I hope you'll understand that it is a compliment when I say that I hope I won't miss you as senior Mod, and that I hope to see you taking part in more of the discussions as one of us proles. :thumbup:

Spinozasgalt · **#12** by **Spinozasgalt** » Oct 19, 2011 8:57 am

It's hard to put into words how much you did behind the scenes, so all I can really think to say is thank you. :cheers:

Because I know you'll appreciate it, it's time to be geeky...

LucidFlight · **#13** by **LucidFlight** » Oct 19, 2011 9:14 am

A toast! A toast! To a very fine host!

:cheers:

That's right... and don't get too complacent Mr Metatron because I'll be collecting on that debt in due course.

I'm still going to spank you... threatening to withhold spankings was the only way I could get you to do any work.

Not sure whether that technique will be effective for kiore and stijndeloose though... :naughty2:

I've always admired your posts so I will be proud to stand by you as a prole ..... what is a prole by the way? Can I be a prole and still have sparkles?

OMG! I love you! A place... where nobody dares to go.....

My forum little brother...I think I'll miss you most of all....

.... just make sure you get down from your high donkey occasionally to spend time with the little people.

@ LucidFlight - You took your sweet time finding us again but I am very glad you did.

Starr is a great leader, team manager and mentor; she has set the standards for others to follow.

Plus, I like her!

So, thanks for all you've done to make RatSkep the place it is, Starr. Perhaps we can tempt you back to Mafia now :ask:

A poor downtrodden member of the proletariat.

Can I be a prole and still have sparkles?

In Orwell's 1984, proles were dismal and dowdy - but it's not 1984 any more.

Have some sparkles -

Darkchilde · **#17** by **Darkchilde** » Oct 19, 2011 12:26 pm

Starr, thank you for everything.

I do expect to catch up with you in person in April in Melbourne.

Weaver · **#18** by **Weaver** » Oct 19, 2011 12:57 pm

Starr,

Thanks for your experience and guidance when I came on board - your in-depth knowledge of the ins and outs of the FUA, along with background historical info on WHY it was that way, were invaluable to me.

You were also a great friend in the various Mod fora, something that I greatly hope will continue as you migrate over to "ordinary" member (though I think you'll never be ordinary). Enjoy your free time, and your new-found freedom to fully enjoy RatSkep without constantly having to worry that anything you post might be taken as some sort of officialdom in disguise.

See you around the fora!

HughMcB · **#19** by **HughMcB** » Oct 19, 2011 2:35 pm

Starr,

You played a key and vital role to the growth and development of this board, much more so than the membership probably realize and you often had to deal with way more than your fair share of shit which you persevered through like a little faireh trooper! I'm very glad to have the pleasure of working with you and getting to know each other as colleagues and friends. I hope the latter part is kept up for a long time!

Now come over here and give me spanks! Ive been a naughty boy!!!! :twisted:

Ironclad · **#20** by **Ironclad** » Oct 19, 2011 2:36 pm

I wish you all the best, Starr. You will pop in from time to time I hope. :cheers:
