Has anyone noticed that Takeda...

... is no longer listed as a moderator?

I hope he has not left the board completely? Do I assume right that his new university job left him too little time?

An all-in-all very solid job he did as a mod. We should thank him for that.

Salute!

Agreed.

It has been noted in one or two threads that he is now no longer a mod. As far as I am aware he still is contributing in the forums.

You assume correctly, but I'm still here. Who knows, you may see me as a mod here again, especially if needed. That's how I was given the position to begin with. I know that the quick change left the appearance of 'cloak and dagger', but I asked Neal not to say anything, as I have always seen a moderator as nothing more than a public servant, and pomp over a change in that position is kind of silly.

EDIT: By the way, this new Samurai avatar is sharp. Thanks Neal!

How did you last this long tak?

He earned a Masters degree while serving us all here at subsim, he had home work, he was a music teacher by day, fast attack sim expert, plus a moderator of rowdy people (in the old days of course).

I even had a hard time with with sonar on that old fast attack sim and I use to be a sonarman for crying out loud.

His mind works like a lot faster than mine.

Chime in more often on what you think Tak ... we love you and we have never even met you ... just respect you.
