I'm sure some of y'all have noticed how little I've been around as of late. Well... It was bound to happen sometime but: I'm anime'd out. I'm tired of anime. I've gone through "apathetic about anime" phases before and soldiered on, but lately I've been way too busy with my employment to give moderating much time at all regardless of my own anime-watching status. Which is really not fair to you all. So after probably too many years sticking around as moderator, I've hung up my hat and stepped down. When I was first made moderator I was age-wise the youngest moderator by far (whoah what a surprise, anime mod as a literal child), and now I'm vacating it as someone who has been a moderator nearly the longest. Even ignoring the fact that I'm frankly kind of just tired of the whole thing at this point, ADTRW has probably been in need of new blood for some time. I feel this is overall a very positive thing for the forum, given how much of a relative dinosaur I am at this point. For those of you that have worked with me over these years to make this forum a good place for sane anime discussion: Thank you. I've gotten a lot of support over the years, and I probably wouldn't have lasted this long if it hadn't been for your support. I know not all of you have agreed with my decisions or been my biggest fans, and I'm sure I've given punishments that were unjustified. I've been a crabby dolt, and I've acted too quickly or too slowly or in the wrong ways far too many times. I apologize for that. Thank you for putting up with me this long. I'll continue to post and be around, so it's not like I'm vanishing. I'm sure the anime bug will eventually bite me again (when they finally make a new Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex???) where I'll be more inclined to keep up to date with ongoing stuff. It's happened before, it'll happen again. As to who is replacing me, the admins are working on selecting my replacements, and have been working at it for some time now. The candidate list they're working on is fantastic, and I'm sure whoever they ultimately select will do an excellent job. So many of you are fantastic posters that contribute excellently, there is far from a lack of options. I don't think you will have to wait long in any case. So, as a great anime once said:  Thanks again!

You've got total free reign for a couple of days, enjoy it. Have a kegger. Piss in his bed.

I think we know that the most important qualification for the new mod is that they do not allow the LoGH thread (a thread which not only predates Zorak's star, but in fact his very SA account) to die. Such a creature would surely be the antichrist, as foretold in the Revelation of John.

I thought this place had gone downhill lately! I can only hope your successor bans all non-haiku posts and shows mercy upon none. Flights of sweaty angels sing thee to thy rest.

Eh... You did good, Zorak. Question is: Who will be the next anime poo poo posting overlord and how they will be chosen? Choose wrong and possibly the men in black might end up knocking on lowtax's door, or worse, this place could turn into the ANN forums.

Well it was a well deserved break. Thank you Zorak for keeping the forum from being a complete cesspit. I hope your successor is as diligent as you. I also have this question. When the new mod comes up will the rules change along with him/her or are they mostly going to stay the same?

Never would have gotten off my rear end to watch Turn A Gundam without the simulwatchathon, so I owe you big on that. I never had any issue with you Zorak, it'll be weird seeing whoever takes your place.

Suddenly reminded of the time when my wife started coming home later and later from work each day, then I realised I hadn't seen her for a month and found divorce papers pushed through the front door.

As your new moderator I declare that the first post of a every thread has to be about Kancolle. The rest of the thread can have whatever, but the Kancolle is not negotiable.

The Board of SA executives gather to determine the next mod of ADTRW only to find that all potential candidates are massive closet lolicons. There is no other course of action but to permaban every ADTRW regular in fear of unmoderated anime chat. Finally, SA is free from the tyranny of the Nipponese overlords as the rejected goons scatter throughout the realms of the internet finding solace in only the seediest of anime forums.

In the post-anime aftermath, one lone ex-mod finds himself alone amidst the ruins of a once great and terrible subforum. Bending down to sift through the dust and debris of the wasteland, he unearths a Jonjonaug post defending Yume Miru Kisuri. The figure rises to his feet standing confident over the wreckage; he had done this, it was finally over. Zorak smiles for the first time in ages as he logs out for the last time.

Come on Zorak, I know that Yuri Bear Storm turned out to be creepy and you regret bolding it in the winter thread, but you don't have to take it this far.
