pineappleheadindc Retires As Moderator! 

Post#1 » by Howard Mass » Fri May 25, 2018 8:57 am

RealGM Washington Wizards Users,

I am here to announce the retirement of one of the most influential people to ever have posted on our Washington Wizards Forum.

Pineappleheadindc decided to retire before the start of last season but I could not find the words to say retire him as he has been on The Moderator Team for so long.

This led to him being on The Forum for an entire season despite actually being retired.

He has been here since the end of the first year of the Forums and was Jason Rosenthal's deputy on this Forum for many years before becoming this Forum's Senior Moderator upon Jason's retirement which was also difficult for me as we were RealGM's first two columnists.

Throughout the years, Pineappleheadindc has also helped put together The Washington Wizards Moderator Team with me and continue to set the tone for this very civil Forum as there are hardly ever any violations on our Wizrds Forum.

Pineappleheadindc also became a Global Moderator during his tenure in addition to taking on The Current Affairs Forum.

Since he became a Moderator, his real-life career has taken off and is now a father.

It is sad to write this but am grateful for Pine's many years of service to this Forum and hope he has time to pop in every now and then.

Please join me in thanking pineappleheadindc for his service as a Moderator and everything he has done for this Forum.

Thanks!
R.I.P. Dharam Raghubir (A.K.A. Magnumt)

Congratulations on the promotion to Dad-mod, Pine. That's the toughest mod job out there, but we know you can rock it.

You will be missed, Pine. Please drop in whenever the mood strikes. There are always fans here ready to depress you about the Wizards' prospects.

The good thing is - we'll never have to see pictures of them again. :beer:
