Just doing my job

[marigold]

And it’s thankless. No offense to anyone here in particular, but I am going to start to refuse to participate in the forum anymore, aside from the updates that no one gives a shit about anyway. I’ll be behind the scenes, and if you don’t want me there, please just say so and I can be out of everyone’s hair overnight.

Back to work. Later guys/gals.

Huh? wtf?

[manillascissor]

roll your eyes all you want, i’m serious

[marigold]

Huh? wtf? [/quote:h4jym4gq]

I would translate that as: ‘Huh, your work IS appreciated, wtf are you thinking?’

also:

Awesome jobs you are doing, Derek. [/quote:h4jym4gq]

and I’m sure a lot of other people appreciate it too!

I’m impressed you find the time to do all the uploading/checking for accuracies, etc, to be honest.

[manillascissor]

yeah, well it mostly goes unnoticed. so, see you around (never)

[Arthur]

Hmmm… This is a sudden moodswing from manillascissor I have never seen before… No idea if this is a silly joke or something…

Joking back: are you pregnant, mister?

Seriously: of course your work is being appreciated, no doubt. C’mon! But if I had been given compliments every time for the hundreds and hundreds of hours I spend on this website since 2003… It probably should have been put on a page twice the current forum size. Reality is: hard work, mostly taken for granted, the appreciation is rarely said in words. And when it is said, it really means something. That’s how I see it. So I’m hoping you could come back anytime soon, my friend.

I’ll chime in and say thanks. This is my favorite place on the web. It allows me to be the nerd I always wanted to be and it fits right with my busy real world life. If it weren’t for all of the hard work and meticulious details, I might as well consider myself lost as a SP collector. so…..A sincere THANK YOU!

fixed

and so true. And also Derek – I appreciate when I ask you ‘IS THIS RARE?’ And of course it never is that rare, lol. I also think Kerry and Billy would be quite appreciative of all the historical documenting of these items that you, Arthur, and others are doing! And I know that it is mainly you at the moment.

I cannot claim much of anything with this site. I didn’t start it. That’s Arthur, Sven, Jeroen, Thom, and Detlef. I came around in 2007, after the initial launch. The Most thanks should always go to Redwolf, imo. I understand now where I fit in, and the forum has just been a massive let down for me personally. I tried starting a philosophical forum, it’s dead. I post updates to the collection thread to no response (minus Arthurs comment). I lost a very good friend here as well. I pose questions to the forum that get no responses. I’ll just say it’s me, not you. I will stick around and update still if Arthur allows, but I think that’s it. I fear I’ve already said too much. Good luck to all the nice collectors out there. We have a total of 3 mods now, so Deb can take over that role. If you had kind words to say I sincerely thank you. If you had nothing to say, well, that would seem apropos.

i’ll miss you on the forum.

i hope you’ll be back one day. in the mean time, take care.

I don’t think I can actually.

I don’t think anyone can expect much from a forum that caters mainly to a small group of collectors, and an even smaller group of them who contribute to the general discussions. And the forum isn’t that widely known, only a few of my SPfan friends have heard of it because I linked them to it. And there are a few fans that know about it and are collectors but aren’t big on archiving online. Like the guy I met on a bus a few weeks ago!

but yeah, not much response in the philosophical thread – no one care

[amnesia]

I always appreciated your help and the things you have done for the freak community, so im sad to see you go.

SO GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE DEREK!! YOU DONT WANT TO FUCK WITH ME WHEN IM SAD

[marigold]

lol – you can get mad but I don’t think it will help, he’s outta here, but helping out on the periphery so to speak.

DID YOU LIKE THAT WORD DEREK??
