Just wanted to announce that I will be stepping down as Global Moderator and moving on, most likely not visiting the Lounge or "organized" Muggworld for the forseeable future....
I'd like to thank the many great folks here at the Lounge who I've met along the way. When I accepted Jose's invitation to help start this place as Global Mod, I had no idea it would grow to such a warm and caring group of core Muggaholics...
I've really enjoyed my tenure at the Lounge and gotten a kick out of putting my "stamp" on some things (like how the customs threads often start as "Not My" for example....) It's been great to watch our obsession grow from a few random fanatics (raises hand) to a more organized and dedicated lot!! It's no wonder that the Mattel design team and other "official" folks have been silently lurking in the background here since the "early days", getting inspiration from the Loungers as well as a well deserved sense of pride in the fandom they indirectly helped create. Congratulations everyone ... YOU made organized Muggdom possible!! Well done, Loungers!
My reasons for exiting are varied.
Most clearly, I have alot of other parts of my life which I want to focus more attention to in 2009. (for example, my wife and I are devout Pagans and hope to get more involved in various ecological projects once the political administration changes next month and such things become more likely, as sanity once more becomes the law of the land -- Respect our planet ... it's the only one we've got!)
On the Mugg front, my collection is stabilizing (I'm mainly a Marvel/DC person), thanks to a large number of custom DC muggs as well as the obvious dedication to the wonderful Marvel line of official Muggs. While I admire the other upcoming Mugg lines, I've decided to limit my collection in the future to the Marvel ones exclusively.
As far as other action figure related interests are concerned, I'm devoting more and more time to running my Forum for fans of 3 3/4" figures (DC, Marvel and otherwise) and even with a team of Coordinators helping me, I need to devote more attention to the few hundred fans at "my other board", where I have increasingly been spending my time.
In addition, much of my Mugg collecting dollars have been diverted to yet another interest, the new collector-only line of 6" of Masters of the Universe figures .
In any event, I've had fun here at the Lounge and for those who would like to keep in touch, send me a pm and we can make that happen.
Otherwise, Mugg-on, my brothers and sisters!!!!
;D ;D
In the immortal words from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.....
"So long .... and thanks for all the fish!!! "
Take Care! Blessed Be!
Excelsior!!
See ya!
