Beck, Y'all cean always still roast, toast and put me on a spit at any other given time! I will still be posting here as much, I'm sure, and the only thing that'll be different is that I won't have to browse tha Vue gallery searching for violations of the TOS. Yeah, that doesn't happen anyway, not with us Vue-ers-- we're a pretty civil lot. :) I sure as H*LL wouldn't want to be the Poser mod, though, LOL hard to control? Hardly! It's been a great joy, really, and I've been proud to tell people I'm one of a small handful of forum moderators on the best graphic arts site on the whole WWW! This place currently has around 45,000 members, give or take slightly, but it's something like that. And it's something like 150 NEW members per day! But, it's time for me to blend in a little bit, and also to concentrate more on making some art. And I've hardly had any chance at all to finish the dragon I've been working on with Bloodsong's Dragon Factory. Poor guy has no arms yet! Not that this is any big deal, moderating this forum--- It's really quite simple, but I have made it much more demanding on myself than it ever need be, checking the site every 5 minutes, checking the OTHER galleries, watching out for TOS violations---blah blah blah. Russell Cook, webmaster extraordinaire asked all of us to help with that. Not a necessity, really, as each mod is supposed to watch over his own, but things slip by. But Russell apreciates it. Since I became mod here, I have gotten them to change the name from Vue to Vue d'Esprit on all the menu items. hmmm... I think there's one left somewhere that wasn't changed. And I got them to change the name of the tutorials section from Poser Tutorials, to Digital Arts Tutorials. And I got them to start a new Forum, HTML And Web Scripting. :) So, I've donme a few things, but it is quite rare for me to be able to take a hardcore Vue question and answer it myself. I just simply haven't been using the program long enough to be any kind of an expert. And just like Vue deserves to have it's REAL, FULL name on those things I mentioned, this forum deserves to have a Vue d'Esprit EXPERT as it's moderator. it's really as simple as that. I appreciate your very kind words, beck, really I do. Like I said though, I'm not LEAVING, just quitting as mod. Believe me, I'll still be around here far more than anyone wants, anyway!!! And as I said above, I will still be VERY roastable, toastable and uhh, spit-enabled (?) :P --Mike
