Universal Love Doss is hanging up the boots

[Beerfish]

It is with a heavy heart indeed that it falls to me to make the sad announcement that our very own fearless Super Mod Doss is hanging up the boots after many years of selfless dedication to this board and the wider BF community.

I feel very privileged to have modded alongside him for two stints. Speaking for myself I will greatly miss his steady hand, wise counsel and at times unabashed forthrightness that not many would ever see publicly.

He leaves not only a big set of empty shoes on this board but also on the site as a whole the likes of which I have not seen in my 12 years here.

I hope he will still be a part of this board when time allows and he is not lost to us forever.

Doss it's bloody sappy and I'm welling up a bit ffs but I really love you mate. Thanks for everything and if there's anything at all I can ever do for you here or in real life you've got my number. All the very best to you and your family.

I like the sentiment of your post Beerfish, not Doss leaving.

 

[Loonerty]

Truly has shaped this board in so many ways. Was a pleasure modding with you Doss.

Now to put you on ignore.

 

[DERO]

Thanks Doss .

 

[VelvetSledge]

Well done on an excellent innings Dossman. Great effort.

Is Doss the longest serving mod on the Essendon board ?

 

[Doss]

Someone fetch Beery some tissues for the tears, FFS.

Thanks all, it's been a blast. All things must come to an end eventually and I think my time as a mod has come. Time for someone else to have a go, and honestly, having a baby is bloody time and energy consuming.

I'll still be around as a poster though!

Is Doss the longest serving mod on the Essendon board ?

Would be a close run thing between myself and Kong/Whomb before me. Bergmann (Ryder is God back in the day) would also be close.

 

[boncer34]

Who?

 

[Doss]

What I most look forward to is telling boncer what I really think of him, unencumbered by the pretext of moderator decorum.

 

[boncer34]

Good luck doing that on ignore champ

 

[Doss]

Fair is fair.

Turbo.

 

[Proper Gander]

Thanks for all your work on Bigfooty Doss.

Onwards to smaller and better things.

Onwards to smaller and better things.

It’s probably more important to spend one’s time and energy being super dad to a small child than to super mod adults that act like small children, let’s be honest.

Thanks for all your work Doss!

 

[Dave]

All the best Doss, thanks for all your hard work.

And yes babies are bloody hard work!!

 

[eth-dog]

Cheers Doss. I never even thought that you'd step down, seem like part of the furniture.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Thanks for all the hard work Doss and all the best, personally I'm not sure how you did it for so long through some of the worst s**t to have to moderate through as an Essendon supporter. Let's be sure to have a beer sometime.

 

[ghostdog]

Congratulations on a fine innings, Doss. Thanks for regulating and have fun being a SuperDad!

 

[EnolaGay]

Well played Doss, a great innings. Thanks for everything you've done and all the best!

 

[rumply]

well done Doss, tbh I dont know how any of you find the time to do that job so yeah hats off to you all*

*except some of those opposition mods who shall remain nameless

 

[Don Won]

Thanks Doss, you have made the board a great place to come to.

Your work here will help you greatly with your next task of guiding small humans with underdeveloped frontal lobes.
