Fleet's an awesome poster and mod. Congrats on the new job, man. Hope you're keeping well and hope to see you post here regularly again.

Good luck with everything Fleet!

It is sad to see a legend like Fleetwood MacBull hang them up.

However, he is moving on a great opportunity.

You were one of the best ever Fleet and just so everyone knows, Fleet has an open invite to return anytime he wants.

Thank you for everything you did for this forum.

Perhaps a scoatch off-topic, but I was wondering if legends like Fleet get compensated for their hard work, since the site has heavy traffic and seems to generates revenue from advertisement, for example this winner:

Well, are you?

Seriously, on Fleet, he was really the foundation of this board for quite some time. He is really a class guy and it was great to have him as an active moderator. I hope he returns from time to time.

I only got to co-mod with Fleet for a short time. The bulk of his moderating time was spent while I was an administrator at another board.

But that doesn't mean I wasn't aware of Fleet and the great job that he did (along with Slim and Duck) in making the Bulls forum here one of the great ones.

Our board grew like wildfire when it was new, because we ran a high quality environment and at the time, RealGM's Bulls board was in a real troublesome period.

Fleet, Slim and Duck righted the ship. Believe me, I know what a monumental task that is, and it is admirable how they were able to pull it off -- and sustain it. And Fleet was the anchor of it all, and the one constant force throughout all those years.

Best wishes, my friend.

They threw away the mold when they made Fleet.

His posts had that touch of Fleetwood humor that could not be duplicated - made me laugh, made me cry, outstanding stuff.

Thanks for the great job Fleet. You'll be missed.

It is my understanding that Fleet will continue to post when he can.

He simply no longer has the time to commit to moderating up to his own, self-set high standards, so he steped down rather than compromise those standards.

Which, of course, is exactly the quality about him that made him great for the board throughout his extraordinarily long tenure.

Many years ago, I tried the RealGM Bulls board and didn't like it. Tried it again a few months ago and like it a lot.

Sounds like Fleet had a lot to do with the change.

Thanks, Fleet.

I remember tag-teaming with Fleet against those who dared to suggest that Krause (the organization) was just as important as Jordan when it came to winning those titles. :lol:

I really enjoyed posting here back then before I ran out of things to say.

PS>For some reason I'll always associate you with that frantic little cat running avatar.

Oh great

Another mod that used to have my back and bail me out of Kyphi's jail retires.

Fleet had Shinky's back?

In that case I'm happy he's gone. :wavefinger:

Sham how come your not a Bulls mod?

Bullsville · Post #37 » by **Bullsville** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:15 pm

Wow.

I really and truly believe that this board woudn't be half what is now if it weren't for fleet.

There was once a time that this board was less readable than ggghosttown.net and fleet is the main reason that the complete opposite is now the case.

This is a sad day indeed. You will be sorely missed, fleet.

Geez.. You take one tiny trip to Seattle, and see this when you get home.

You better be back at some point, Fleet. But untill then, enjoy the new work.
