Hello my fellow Heat forum users/lurkers/trolls/BlueJays fans I hereby regretfully inform you that DayofMourning AKA DoM AKA Hippytalanta is stepping down as a Miami Heat forum mod.
DoM was on his way to mod stardom, broke the RealGM record of youngest Global Mod status by 18 months, but then it hit him hard that as a local recent grad pharmacist, he has a son to feed and bills to pay... so much so that he realizes that he simply cannot maintain his GOAT status as a top dog in star-laden Heat mod crew.
As a top dog and two-time back-to-back MVP, DoM was instrumental in communicating with RealGM posters and mods across the board and keeping the Miami Heat forum virtually troll-free. I personally cannot thank him enough for making my life easier as a mod and as a poster not only for his masterful modding skills, but also guidance and suggestions he generously provided me with in an always timely manner. DoM was also extremely talented in finding the randomest gifs that made a lot of talented gifers on the forum simply jealous.
Please join me in wishing him well in his future endeavors. Fortunately for us, he's promised to stop by occasionally as a regular poster/retired mod so hopefully we get to keep on reading his insightful and hilarious posts going forward.
Thank you DoM for being the best mod and best friend!

Oh so he's got a kid ... and what are we, his red headed stepkids?
This is how children go bad, DoM!

DoM retiring all over the place. Goodluck my brother!
Long hiatus awaits DoM. All the best with your family and work/school man. You were the sanest of sane Mods, it takes threatening DoM's manhood to get banned off this board. Such a swell guy this guy is. Do keep us updated on your life and everything in it. A true O.G, a vet and a leader. I owe you a lifetime supply of Nescafe coffee from taking part freeing me from long awaited exile.
Will buy your account via paypal $5. Truuus me on dat.

DOM has been a wonderful Moderator during his tenure.
He has the respect of so many of his co-Moderators behind the scenes and really hope he has the time to return at a later date which he has an open invite to do at any time.
I want to thank DayofMourning for his service as a Moderator and encourage everyone to do so.

Thanks guys. It has been a fun experience moderating this forum. The real world has me in its clutches though, and doing the job the way it should be done wasn't in the cards anymore.
I will be posting, though not as often. Looking forward to an awesome year from our team and some great convo on these boards.
Go Heat!

Your leadership and wisdom will be missed DOM. Look forward to carrying on your legacy along with the help of the other fantastic Mods and let us not forget our group of some of the most talented posters this platform has to offer. Without them this forum is nothing. I assure you. I WILL PROTECT THIS HOUSE!

Man, I understand, DayofMourning. I have to manage my time too, or the who thing comes down like a house of cards. I think I speak for everyone when I say that just like Pat, we have something waiting for you under the mat, just in case you come back:
Oh, wait. I'm sure you already have one of those. This is what I meant:

We're here. Don't be a stranger.
Be strange, though.

You guys....!
*wipes tear*
I appreciate all the kind words and the music as well. Really makes a guy feel swell.
You won't have time to miss me much as I will still be around, but sometimes fewer and farther between.
I will take my spot in the nosebleed section of the forum whilst the rest of You enjoy your lower level seating;)
Glad to have MWP taking over in my stead.
