I believe it would be best in everyone's interest that I leave the boards as well with no specific intention of returning. There will probably be several more resignations from the mod list forthcoming as well. Whether they wish to remain here will be entirely up to them, come what may. As soon as Eric gets around to it, the forum moderator tag on my account will be removed. I want to wish all the friends that I've made here the best of luck and good health. See ya'll around Boinc.

If that is the case I will also quit seti altogether. I have been under sustained personal attacks from a certain person on that mod list and I do not see why I should have to take it anymore.

Well, I think I am as surprised as anyone else with this announcement. But standing back and trying to take a helicopter view of it :- Perhaps a 6 or 12 month stint as a Mod is enough for anyone, perhaps he feels he's done his bit, and its time for others to take their turn? As to leaving the SETI boards altogether, well thats got to be a rather more personal decision. The fact that he's just got the 2 million could well be a factor in deciding to move on and crunch for other Boinc projects. I'll be sorry not to regularly see him around, but what is more worrying is the possibility of even more Mods resigning shortly. If 3 or 4 all go together then something has definitely happened behind the scenes. DB, whether you continue to crunch for SETI or not, at least stay with BOINC. You'll always be welcome on this forum. Keep in touch, and best regards. He is quitting for the same reason I will be. Reality Internet Personality ID: 544818 ·

Last modified: 12 Apr 2007, 9:05:52 UTC He is quitting for the same reason I will be. Alright, quit the mod job. It's got to be a 24/7 job with little to no pay, & 0 benefits. But why quit the boards? I'm in a quandary. I'm going to edit this to include: Whatever the reasons are, there are reasons, & I'll begrudgingly accept that this is personal & I probably wouldn't understand unless I were in your shoes. I'll further edit this that I don't ever want to be in their shoes. Period. Meaning I'm never going to be interested in the job. Account frozen... ID: 544819 ·
