Title: Changes in the secret room.......
Post by: tikay on August 23, 2006, 05:31:37 PM

I'm sorry to say that Heid is no longer able to devote the necessary time to blonde, & has done the honourable thing, & resigned as a blonde Mod.

She has been offered the opportunity to do a part time degree (BA/BSc - Social Sciences - Communications and Media) & this will entail countless hours of daily study. In addition, her job has become extremely demanding, she controls a staff of 45, so there's not really much time to spend Modding on blonde.

So, it's a big thank you from me, on behalf of blonde, her fellow Mods, &, I'm sure, all of you.

Being a Mod is a weird task - the pay is zero, stones get thrown at you whatever happens, but the payment is the satisfaction of helping blonde to grow, & at the same time, keep the special "feel" that's unique to us.

I am sure you will all be able to thank Heid personally at bB3, but in the merantime, your words of appreciation on here will, I'm quite sure, be hugely appreciated.

Replacement(s)? Of course, but let's say "thanks" to Heid properly first, please.

Moderating is a pain in the arse and thankless.

I am grateful to all who do it and keep the forum 'on track'

Thanks Heidi and Good Luck in your studies

Excellent news about the course Heidi and sorry to see you leaving the Mod team, but thankfully that doesn't mean you are leaving for good.

Be nice to say hello to you at BB3 :)

Careful lads, it's HEID, not HEIDI.....!

And yes, Heid will still hang out on blonde, as she always did in her pre-Mod days.

I gather Heid can't be at bB3, as she is working in Glasgow (trhat's in Scotland) that weekend.

So let's hear it for Heid on here, please.

Hi Heid,

I know from personal experiencing what a demanding job moderating a busy site is, and how thankless a task it is too.

thanks for all your hard work.  And actually, I owe you a much bigger thank you than that too - thank you so much for introducing me to blonde!!

Heid was the first blonde to say  :hello: to me (on the monte carlo millions update) and it was that which made me come love this place,  So id like to wish you all the very best and hope you still "pop in" to say  :hello:

Thankyou!!

Post by: Heid on August 23, 2006, 09:11:36 PM
Thanks for all your kind words :)

I'm not going away, just not around so much :) (less is more, apparently).

I'm really excited about the course, but very sad about leaving the mod team, and I will miss all the friendly banter with the mods behind the scenes.

Work is mad at the moment - I manage 30 moderators located all over the world, who provide 24/7 cover on a very popular MMORG*, also run the player support team, and am currently running the whole office.  Good job I like spinning plates!

So the dates of bB3, I am in Glasgow (I believe that is in Scotch Land), training the Frank people http://www.talktofrank.com/ all about online community.

Anyway, I will be around, where else on the net is there to go that is half as nice?

See you al at bB4 :)

Heid

Actually whenever I meet Ironside he has a puncture!

Even went to Halfords in a cab and got a bike pump for him in Luton and then he suffered at flat at Cincins too


Meanwhile, I have always been a big fan of Claw! (thoughts with you tomorrow by the way Claw)

Good luck with the course Heid, and if you meet the clown from Talk to Frank who came up with their adverts - slap him for me please. In fact - slap them all just in case.

After 26 years I thought I had heard every nickname under the sun, then I met Heid.  And it's her that persuaded me to go to the first Blonde Bash, so thanks a lot Heid.
