No moderator is nice, but you are a kind, helpful and willing person and no one can say otherwise.
If you have made this choice it means that you need a bit of tranquility that must be respected, then maybe one day you will return to moderate because the passion is not easily erased.

Like the following ?

It's a sad news but as long as you will still be here in EAB, Moderator or not I think it's not important. You have done a FANTASTIC and AMAZING work as a moderator for all those years. If now you want to retire, it's legitimate and don't have to feel culprit of anything.

Sincerely, Damien THANK YOU for the job done !

PS: Next costume party, I'll ask you to lend me the costume. It'll be a hit!

Sorry to hear that, but I fully understand you decision...
I also quit my Global Moderator "Job" in another, C64 related Forum, for the same reasons.
All the best mate!

[Tigerskunk]

Thanks for your incredible job here, Damien...

[whitegiant89]

sorry to hear you are stepping down DamienD, glad to hear you will be sticking around.

[Valken]

Welcome to the normal miggy users group!

Glad you are still around D!

[arcanist]

Thanks for helping out with the gamedev competition. I appreciated it, at least.

Finally you can rest from time to time

Thank you for all the work for the community!

It saddens me but it is your decision.

[seuden]

Terrible news. Glad you're not going awol tho.

[tolkien]

You have done a good job. Not a really easy job. Thanks.

[AntiPontifex]

You most definitely ARE one of the good guys, DamienD! All I can type is don't let the minority bog you down. I know it's easier said than done, but by the looks of the replies, you are most assuredly appreciated.

...but hey, whatever.

I don't really care what people think of me these days.

I know who I am and don't need some internet forum to verify

You don't care but i'll say this :
You are a good moderator, sometimes things are not easy to manage and you did your best... If you change your mind, great.
But i understand your choice to be a moderator isn't an easy task and nobody wants to be one all his live. You gave us your best years !!
Thank you.

[Rochabian]

For me, you are always of a precious help, moderator or not

[DamienD]

Thanks my friend, that's a very nice comment and made me smile

[Octopus66]

Hope you stick around for a while to come! I thought you did a good & fair job moderating.

[Thalion]

Sorry to hear from your decision. Although i'm not posting that much i do read quite a lot of posts. I always considered you a really good mod. I liked your attitude. An it isn't your job to make everybody happy but to keep the Forum running. I hope you still stay at EAB.

[Subzero]

i have not much done or posted overhere, but you should stay as mod, and keep pissing at those who deserve, dont let the others win, my opinion.

[Aladin]

Thanks you for the good job here

You have done a good job for years my friend, and I totally understand you.

Things (and stuff) should be fun, when it's not, you should do other things (and stuff). Otherwise you feel that your time isn't your time after a while.

This is what happened to me, and I just cut all of it off cold. It seems to have helped (a little), look at me, I've already spent almost 2 hours on EAB tonight! (woow... )

Go have fun! Your time is for you
