I believe those moderators were already inactive. They did not leave due to the conversion. Every once in a while, things have to be simplified for ease of use. You don't want members contacting moderators that are not longer active here.
Think of it as a change on the "back end". The overall look is very similiar. There will be a few changes in how things are done, but it will look much the same.
I don't recall any moderators leaving in the last conversion, and I don't see any current moderators leaving. From time to time, people have lives and have to step away from internet life. It's just the flow. This is all volunteer work too.
Yeah, I don't recall mods leaving specifically because of the changeover. I know I didn't, but then, I cannot recall when the change was in regard to when I quit the "modship". I was simply burned out. Then, of course, it was probably fortuitous since I had a house fire not long after that and was way overstressed by life as it was.
That year all runs together for me, so thanks for the reminder. So, I did leave after the change, which is what seemed right in memory, but not because of the change.Your retirement was on August 31, 2012 while the change on January 11, 2012.
Ah. That explains it.
Thanks to both of you for replying.
We all have gotten burned out at one time or another. We have all stepped away for a time. Some have then gone on to other things. It's the nature of the beast.
Exactly. Life happens and goes on. None of our Staff have ever left because of a conversion. In fact, I have to say the conversions we have gone through have had the full support of our awesome Staff and were smoothly done because of them!
Cuz we would all love to have you back.
