    Maybe there is no one to fill his job yet?

    I hope that is the case.

    Creditnet must never die.

    yea, that's what i think. Mommy and daddy are asleep, and we've been left to ourselves. But some of us aren't behaving.

    PBM,
    Your efforts to maintain this board have been greatly appreciated. You have done a marvelous job.

    As seen by this thread, you will be sorely missed. It is my hope that MGT finds someone with the passion you have had as not only a moderator but a member of our community.

    Whatever your endeavours (family and/or business) I wish you all the best and much success in your future aspirations. Keep in touch, we need as many new homeowners as older and future ones.

    Good luck and as always, PEACE, Dave.

    I am without words. This board has been a beacon of light for me in the midst of what I thought was hopeless. I can't say "thank you" enough for your contribution to making this community possible.

    All the best to you PBM and may the future contain all the desires of your heart.

    You ran the best and most active credit board I've ever seen, and believe me I looked a long time before landing here.

    You have done a great job and I thank you for it. The job wasn't always easy, but you did it with class. Thanks and good luck to you!

    wowOwowwwwwwwww PBM,

    I'm a touchy-feely kinda person, so I'll go for the hugs!

    (((((((((((((((((PBM))))))))))))))))

    It's not often that I am at a loss for words; however, I am now. I wish you only the best, wherever your passions may take you. And, I believe you'll go wherever you like.

    Your discernment, wisdom, wit and class have been sincerely appreciated. Don't doubt that this board has changed people's lives for the better, including my own and that of my family. Thank you, truly, for your part in making that happen.

    I do hope you won't be a stranger :) It surely won't be the same without you.

    Sassy

    Dogman comment -

    PBM and I did indeed talk.
    Let me give you a scenario:

    Internet free speech is an assumed right. People can say what they want - it does not guarantee the information to be right or wrong.
    People can post about anything they want - sometimes there are possible consequences.

    IF you look at porn, it is your right.
    If you post your opinion about a specific company,
    it is your right. BUT, it could also be that a company may not like the posts. They know they cannot nail
    the user describing the factual situation.

    A company legal group might talk with the BOARD
    moderator, as an option, and talk about possible bad consequences for allowing negative factual posts
    to continued to be posted.

    The moderator has two choices:

    True Freedom of speech - unproven in internet law -
    let the user continue the factual posting of events.

    A safer choice would be to always avoid any litigation threat, by merely forcing the user to be quiet or be gone.

    PBM continued to run my posts.
    I never respected anybody more on principle than PBM.

    The lawyers went away - Dogman

    Thank you all for your kind comments and positive feedback. I especially appreciate the remarks portraying me as a "fair" moderator since that was an angle I strove for consciously and continuously. At times it was difficult, and I made my share of enemies. But I have no regrets about what we have accomplished.

    One poster asked whether there was ever a time I posted under a different username. The answer is yes, approximately three years ago. I posted a handful of messages under a name so generic I can no longer recall what it was. The purpose was to "plant" an identity I could use to engage Bobby in conversation to help draw him out. However, soon thereafter we migrated to the vBulletin software which introduced some new features and tools that made my alternate identity superfluous. Since then I have posted as PBM only.

    Sincerely,
    -pbm
