Dear cat lovers, Lost addicts, globetrotters, health enthusiasts, environmentalists, movie buffs, football fans and even soccer fans, YouTube regulars, Photoshop wizards, those curious to know how cats meow and dogs bark in all the languages of the world plus Klingon, Oscar bettors and Eurovision critics, New Year’s Eve polyglots, generous souls who share advices in health, finances, how to replace a flat tyre, how to make fondue or grow orchids, artists and storytellers, in short, all the amazing people who make this forum the wonderful place it is, plus all those impermanent guests who cannot decide where to post some translation-related topic and end up here only to be moved elsewhere shortly... everyone who has made and will keep making the Off Topic forum the best of all site forums, the best and my favorite site forum, ever, both as a moderator and a user... goodbye!

A huge hug and a huge thank you to all! Don’t post anything controversial when I’m gone, OK?


PS for the guy who’s been trying hard to sell shoes, watches, and weird toys here since the beginning of time: Keep trying, sunshine, you’ll make it to the spotlights when hell freezes over

Oh no! Feb 27, 2009

Oh no, Özden! What a shame! Are you just resigning as a moderator, or will you leave the forum all together, not even posting as a user anymore?

Thank you very much for you humorous posts and your help!

Well... Feb 27, 2009

..what to say, apart from "you've done a great job"?
Looking forward to swap posts as user on very, very, very important subjects, such as "tv characters" or (even more important) "favorite pizza".

Take care of yourself
G

We're losing too many good moderators! Feb 28, 2009

I hope it's just coincidence. I love this site, and the dedicated moderators are such an important part of its success. I'll miss you, Özden. Thank you.
