KingInExile Retires!

Post #1 » by **Howard Mass** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 2:45 am

Sacramento Kings Users,

I would like to announce the retirement of a longtime Moderator.

KingInExile came to me a few months back and requested a break from moderating due to a busy non-cyber life and to get away from things a bit.

We agreed to make it official after Draft Night.

KIE has been on of our best Moderators over his four-year tenure and always been there when I needed a hand on forums like the NBA Trade forum.

This forum would not be what it is today without KIE and the door will always be open for him to return.

For now though, he will be a member of the retired moderators club and an advisor to me. He will also still post on this forum but now without the responsibility.

Please join me in thanking KingInExile for his service and everything he has given to this forum.

Thanks, KIE!

^^Ahh...and the reason for the retirement!

Thanks Howard. It's been fun (most of the time) moderating this board. But as with everything, a break every now and then is always good. For now, I just plan on being a grumpy old man.

Although I just starting posting a mass load of posts these past few days, I've been reading these boards for the last 2 years plus. Gotta say KIE always seemed to do a great job keeping everybody in line :wink:

Easily one of the most level-headed people on these boards. Your presence will be missed and I hope you post on occasion. Also I would like to second down_el_road's nomination for KIE into the RealGM HOF. Thanks KIE!!

^^Don't worry KM, I'm still going to post. I just needed to step away from moderating so I could focus on work and other priorities.

^Thank god, cause your opinion is respected on the boards, and sometimes it's needed to give kings fans an intelligent image!

Wow, this is a shocker!

I want to say that KIE was one of my favorite posters/mods in RealGm and I want to wish him the best in life and his endevors (haha there is no spellcheck on his computer)

Good luck, KIE!

Job well down KIE. In my nearly 4 years on these forums, you always ran a tight ship around here and it kept the forum fun while respectful at the same time. Thanks KIE.

And I third the nomination of KIE to the RealGM HOF!
