For any former mods/admins reading, do you find it difficult to transition back into 'normal poster' status now that you've seen behind the curtain, so to speak?


I don't really see it as an issue. There are a few threads I'm active in, in a few subforums, but the only place I act like a Mod is in SA-Mart. I guess ask me again when I'm a former.

I always have access through my phone, so it's pretty easy to handle pms and things that may require immediate attention.

Why did you guys accept being mods/admins, and are there any inherent perks of being a mod / former mod or admin besides the forum cop powers?

In the beginning it was nice to help out and since I was selling a fair amount of stuff in SA-Mart it didn't really take much extra time. Now I'm semi retired and time isn't much of an issue. As far as perks I'll stick a buy/selling thread in the mart if an mod/admin is selling something, but that's pretty rare.

Last post by him is 7 years and one day ago. Hell, even I have him beat by 3 months and a few thousand posts.

Ah ha that's funny.

I just went through your post history. You know, just to make sure you aren't a hidden Pedo.
I've decided to probate you every time I notice you don't capitalize the first word in your sentences or end them in a period.
Just to be safe and make sure you aren't saving all those big letters and little dots for the kids.
