*** Changes are afoot in WIT ***

Oh my God, it's got *** on either side of it! It must be a terribly official post!

Yes, We're afraid it is.

The time has come for change. We're about to have a brand, spanking new site. Bigger, better, faster and... Well. Perhaps not bigger or faster, but I'm sure it's going to be better. Yes sir. Fresh fields and pastures new for all of us.

The guard is changing here in WIT. I, as they say, am outtie. [ed.: I thought you said you had an innie.? PM me.] [ed.: I think you must be confusing me with one of your many other playmates, missphinx. Mine is miracle of nature. It somewhat resembles a little reset button in itself] Time for this old hand and his supervisor [ed.:"supervisor"? you wish, girlie. how many times did I have to handhold you through the process of ... oh. wait. umm okay. nevermind] [ed.: that's right...oh wait...yes. supervisor is correct, mister barely been on the internet]{ed.: listen, just because your brain is hardwired to the internet, there's no reason to get all uppity on me. barely been on the internet? Jebus. Guess I was just born too late, hmm?] to pass the reins on to some young turks.

And so on.

I'll cut to the chase, shall I? As I'm sure most of you know, I'm a grad student. Now in final year of study and blah blah. I shall have to buckle down and *work* if I want to get finished in time and make this rosy [ed.: I believe this is confangled Irish spelling so I'll leave it stet.] [ed.: it would hardly be a Pangloss post without the occasional typographical fuckup, now would it?] [ed.: he originally spelled it rosey. You should have seen the other typos before I cleaned this up!][ed.: *ahem* don't try to pull that one, my dear. you want me to tell all these people about the time you ... well, you know. just you watch it, missy. I've got enough dirt on you to make some eyes water around here] future that I'm dreaming of happen. Which means less posting and chatting for Pangloss.

Not that I'll be *away* from here. Oh no, you're not going to get that lucky. I'm still looking after the chat and so on, so... Bah. Humbug. I'll still be in here to help all those who need it. Uncle Pan remains.

Sp00ky and memdink shall be the new moderators of this forum. I'm sure they will provide sterling service. Both as 1337 as a-you-know-what [ed. what?] [ed. ahhh, use your imagination] [ed.: no. my imagination? then we'll *really* be in trouble here [ed.: she's such a tease folks. you see what I've had to put up with? how was a guy supposed to concentrate and help people out here with *this* woman around? it's like trying to strike a match on jelly]]. I know you have one. you.] and two finer people we couldn't ask for.

Our beloved missphinx has her own reasons for stepping down from her position and shall make her own goodbye note below mine.

[God, I could cry.]

[Grr!]

So... In closing. Thank you all for your time and support. I couldn't have done it without you. I'd like to thank my director and my agent and my mother and my dog, without whom none of this would have been possible.

And so on.

I love you all.

I mean that.

Well, I love some of you more than others.

A lot more.

------------------
and so on ...

P.S. Okay, this is me, missphinx. You see what goes on behind the scenes here? Maudlin dramatics at every turn. Tears. Belly buttons. Yeah, I figured there's gotta be somebody better than **ME** to moderate this place. I mean I can keep my own computer running barely & shit. But uh... yeah. You know. I don't have to explain. Congrats to my sweeties mem & sp00k. & I'll be posting in here as much as I ever did .

And seriously, I tried to get gary to help out too, but he didn't have time. Oh well.

FUCK. who am I kidding. You know what the real problem is? keeping up with all the 1337 hax0rs [ed. h4x0r5, even. she's such a cutie. it's hard to keep back the tears. promise me you won't ever leave my side] [ed.: I promise. fuck you. like I care how to spell *that* word. snort. you're cute too.][ed.: cute? that's it? all we've been though and I'm just 'cute'? fuck you too baby] who keep breaking things in WIT. You know how many times I've had to [reset] everybody's IRC for them after *AHEM* someone who shall remain nameless...**HACKED** it... argh. It's driving me MAD. COMPLETELY mad! I'm going to go off and dye my hair blond now. OKAY? [ed.: yes, I'm sure that shall be just dandy. be sure to throw up a pic of that in IOD so we can all have a laugh ]

I love you, too. &c.

So, spook, we're techsupport. What do you think? Did they tell you I was going to be a mod? Didn't tell me you were. Maybe I just didn't ask. hmm.

AWWWWW. Dingle, sweetie. You know I'd never leave you! I'm still here! See? And Pangloss is here too, somewhere close. You can count on that.

You're not losing a ...um... *cough* ... ? ... [something], you're gaining ... a ...[something]...

What she said.

I'm still here. I even sorted out that unix shell thing, given that the new moderator needed a couple of days to do it.

*ahem*

I'll be keeping my eye on you lot.

Perhaps not this week, but I'll be around.

Depend upon it.
