The end of my Giant Bomb moderation career...

As of now, I am stepping down from my role as a Wiki moderator of Giant Bomb.

The reason is simple, I don't have the time to keep up with the moderation duties. It wouldn't be fair to burden the staff with an inactive moderator.

That being said, I would like the staff for giving me the wonderful opportunity of being a moderator on my favorite site. I'd also like to thank the users, for being the best users of any website ever and making my job of a moderator much easier.

I'll continue to contribute to the community, update my blog, and keep visiting the site daily. Thanks again, and peace out.

Out of sheer laziness and because of very similar circumstances, I express the same sentiments. It was a hell of a gig and I have every intention of sticking around and doing my thing as one of the regular users now. Many thanks to one and all for making it an awesome gig.

Back to writing up spontaneous Persona 4 articles. :)

I salute you guys. Thanks for helping us out when we were outnumbered and outgunned during those early days of war with that submissions queue!

AmericanPegasus AND Pepsiman step down at the same time? There isn't some secret moderator row happening behind the scenes, is there?

Thank you both for all the time you spent helping the site out - couldn't have asked for better people to be dealing with this stuff with!
I'll be keeping an eye out for both blogs - always an interesting read.

I don't blame you, being a mod is no fun at all in my experience. Enjoy GiantBomb without the commitment, I'm sure you'll love it even more.

I've noticed that neither of you have been very active lately. Is that due to the moderation workload, or just a sign of the lack of time you have to dedicate to the site?
No need to answer. I'm just nosy. :)

Anyway, I wish you both the best of luck in your non-moderating future. :)

We got our free Luchadeer hoodies as a result of the gig. Considering those things are pricey, I'd say that's good enough. It's not as though a lot of sites actually have a paid moderation staff anyway, so, at least for me, that wasn't an issue. A lot of the other moderators already have paid jobs anyway. If anybody actually left because of that issue, I'd be really surprised.

I only had time to update my status the other day with the news, but I have stepped down from the job as well. I would accept it again in a heartbeat, though.

I don't think Marx would party with those guys, they pretty much got it all wrong.
