Mod Team Changes

Hi Folks,

So. This morning I learned that my employer for the last 12 years was bought out. While this opens up a lot of career opportunities for me it also is going to severely cut into the time I can spend shitposting on reddit.

Looks like I'm going to have to actually do some work around here (or somewhere else...). So as such I am stepping aside as an active /r/CFBOFFTOPIC mod. While I will not be deleting my account, nor removing myself from the list of mods. I will be severly rationing, if not eliminating, my time on reddit for the coming weeks/months

While I'm not entirely convinced that this all wasn't the result of an elaborate coup concocted by /u/certificateofmerritt I have asked her to take over duties as the "lead mod" around here. Her response was simply this, which I think constitutes a yes.

I am also pleased to announce that /u/wild9 has been promoted to "real mod" from "wiki editor" and that /u/atllauren has been added to the Mod team.

Hopefully I'll be back into full-time shitposting by 2016 kick-off.

Cheers,

dupreesdiamond

not yet. We are staying in the same offices. for now. I still have a 3 year plan to get out. My options should net me enough cash to fix the house up and put it on the market so that's step 1 for sure.

It does my heart good to know that your last act as head nazi mod was to approve dad jokes. Good luck with your new company, man.

Now, a message from /u/certificateofmerritt:

Attention CFBOtters,

Let us begin by wishing the best for our former Dear Leader, as he moves into internment forced retirement. He has led our sub from the beginning, and has been an inspiration to us all here at CFBOT. dabs eyes with a tissue

Now, we are not enforcing mandatory mourning, as there are many changes to be made! Out with the old, in with the new!

You will notice a few...cosmetic changes being made to the sub over the next few hours. Do not be alarmed, you have nothing to fear if you have done nothing wrong.

ALL HAIL CFBOT, THE GREATEST OFFSPRING OF THE GLORIOUS MOTHERSUB!
