Staff Change

[Hostile]

Two times in the past I have tried to step down from the staff and I got talked into staying. Once we even had a Roast and I enjoyed that very much. Yesterday however my resignation was finally accepted. I am stepping down today.

There will be a lot of speculation about this because I am a lightning rod of discussion, not just here but other places. There will be all kinds of theories posited and the huge majority of them will be wrong. I'm not angry at anyone on the Staff. No one has driven me away from this. I just feel after 10 years that I have done enough and I want to be a regular Joe poster again.

This Staff is the greatest bunch of people I have ever worked with. Not just the current Moderators, but Pops and some of the others who put in their time and stepped down for various reasons. I love and respect them all. I have been behind the scenes here for a long time. Please listen to me when I say these people care about you. You may think some of them hate you. It isn't at all true. I am going to miss being a part of their forums and the behind the scenes discussions and ribbing that goes on. I could thank them here one by one, but I am going to refrain from doing that so I can keep this short.

I especially want to thank Reality for the trust he has put in me. I wish you all could get to know him on a personal level as I have. What he provides us here is simply put the greatest fan forum in the world. We don't have the internal issues that other forums do. I don't want to go into why they will never be as successful as this forum is, but they never will be. I do want to say Reality deserves a lot of the credit for why those internal issues do not happen here. He believes I am making a mistake. Maybe I am, but my heart is at peace with this. I left open the door to one day help the Staff again down the road if they need me.

I'm not going anywhere. I will remain a member here and I intend to keep posting. I just won't be doing the job here. If I have a regret in stepping down it is that the threads I was handling in the History Zone and the Calendar items might become outdated. Hopefully someone on the Staff will allow me to PM them the things that needed updating and they keep going. I won't miss having to police the forum. The only bans I ever enjoyed were Spammers and Redskins or Eagles trolls.

I'm really looking forward to using the Ignore feature. Conversely a bunch of people will finally be able to put me on Ignore. Now and then someone announces when they have someone on Ignore. I don't intend to do that. It serves no purpose. But I am going to heed my own advice and use it.

Thanks for all you do in making this place the best Internet fan forum in the world. Go Cowboys.

[Reality]

I am very sad about this, but I understand your reasons for this decision. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for everything you have done over the years! It will truly be a different world without you on the staff.

You will be missed!


#reality

[WoodysGirl]

You will be missed!

#reality
Ditto :hammer:

[rocboy22]

enjoy your added free time, Hos!

[Hostile]

You will be missed!

#reality
You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you, for everything. My phone number won't change.

[rkell87]

I just recently started using the ignore feature, I'm sure this new option for you will make your time here that much more enjoyable, I know it has for me lol.

[casmith07]

:(

Not cool. Let me know any time you want to update the History Zone!

[Lodeus]

Enjoy some free time and don't get yourself banned! :)

[SDogo]

Thanks for everything Hos. IMO, 1st class all the way.

[CowboyFan74]

I won't miss having to police the forum.

That alone can be exhausting.. I don't blame you for wanting to take a break. Give yourself 3-4 months to take a good breather...

[Hostile]

:(

Not cool. Let me know any time you want to update the History Zone!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[THUMPER]

So I guess I'll be on your ignore list now. :D

Glad you are staying around as "Joe Poster" but your presence will be greatly missed behind the scenes and keeping this place sane.

God bless you my friend and thanks for all the time and effort you have sacrificed for us over the years. :starspin

[big dog cowboy]

This is a sad day and I'll say it straight up - I hate this.

Thank you for your dedication and contributions all these years. It will not be the same without you.

[CCBoy]

Thanks. This site and yourself have given the Cowboys back to me...:starspin

[Yeagermeister]

Been there done that.....:welcome:

[jobberone]

Well this is a little bit of a shocker and I'm disappointed on one level but if you're happy about this then good. You've been a great asset to this and other generations of this forum.

[panchucko]

Wow, good luck with all of your free time.
Hopefully other mods will be as willing to change our avatar words as you were.

On your way out could you change mine one last time?
An old Tom Landry quote
"When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn."

Thanks man, get the book done.

[DallasEast]

:cry2:

I luv you man :) (no homo :p: )

[cowboy_ron]

I hate to hear this hos, you add a lot to the site....I agree that it will be left in the fine hands of the rest of the staff...good luck to you man

[wittenacious]

I haven't been a member here for very long, as you well know, so I never got the chance others have had to get to know you better as a Moderator, Hos. What I have known of you is that you've been welcoming, helpful, quick to respond to PMs, and generally great-natured on the boards ... willing to engage new posters in threads to help them (me) grow into the CowboysZone family.

Thanks for all you've done to help this site grow to be the best there is, even though I can't possibly know what all that includes. Appears to have been a whole lot, judging by what I've seen and read of your efforts.

I look forward to more of your threads, posts and discussions in the future. You many want to slide back into being a "Regular Joe" poster, Hos, but I don't think that'll ever be the case. I don't pretend to know all of who or what you ARE, but just a Regular Joe you most definitely are NOT.

[jswalker1981]

Any truth to the rumor that you are stepping down to pursue your longtime dream of being an NFL kicker?

Ooooooweee!!! Now ya'll have gone and done it! :laugh2:

[Clove]

I enjoyed battling with the only poster than can sort of handle going head to head with me. Hopefully you wont put me on ignore and we can go debate in the future.

But if Romo brings home some jewelry, I guess we'll finally be on the same page. None the less, is there a way we can bring Nors back? BTW and off the subject, Woodysgirl, who's in the avatar pic?

[WoodysGirl]

Wow, good luck with all of your free time.
Hopefully other mods will be as willing to change our avatar words as you were.

As of now, I'll be the only one doing it. However, I can pretty much guarantee that I won't start up a thread and just offer it up to people. So, it'll be by request only.

[sureletsrace]

I got my hopes up opening this thread thinking it was Cowboys-staff related, that I was going to get some much needed Cowboys news. Now I'm just bummed.


Thanks a lot, Hos.

Just kidding :D

[Capt.Gut]

Thank you for all things you have done here.

As long as you will continue your good work in posting on a regular basis, this does not upset me at all, and I will continue to follow your posts.

Carry on! :laugh1:

[ravidubey]

Thanks for doing a thankless job.

It sounds like the door's open for your return if you feel the itch or are needed in a pinch.

[brickman]

Hos,

Thank you for all the time you put into the Cowboys Zone. You are a class act, and I really appreciate all your hard work.

Aren't you the creator of this site? I wish you the best.

[The30YardSlant]

Thanks for putting in all the time and effort into a largely thankless job that I know you caught a ton of grief for, and thanks for putting up with me over the years :D

[Cowboy Junkie]

Thanks Hostile. You have helped me many times over the years

[M'Kevon]

Any truth to the rumor that you are stepping down to pursue your longtime dream of being an NFL kicker?

Alright! A volunteer to be first on Hos' ignore list. :p:


Seriously, thanks for the work. I'm sure a lot of joy and pain went into the job.

[dez_for_prez]

If I have a regret in stepping down it is that the threads I was handling in the History Zone and the Calendar items might become outdated. Hopefully someone on the Staff will allow me to PM them the things that needed updating and they keep going.

I'm sure this won't be a problem, or at least I hope not.

[WoodysGirl]

Reality is the site owner.

[Dodger]

Can't say I blame you. I've been a mod on another Cowboys forum, and it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. I'd much rather be just joe poster like you're wanting to be. Less headaches. But I won't forget to thank you for helping me a few times with a few requests and answering all of my silly questions. I appreciate all you've done here.

So, with that.....welcome to club Joe Poster!

[BraveHeartFan]

Thank you for all the effort Hos.

Thank you for being willing to do a very thankless job that only caused you to have to deal with more and more BS because people knew you couldn't put them on ignore as an Admin.

Hope you do stick around and continue to post on a regular basis and that now that you won't be an admin your time can be even more enjoyable because you'll have the use of that fantastic ignore function.

[Boyzmamacita]

Hos, you have a way of making female posters feel really welcome on a mostly male board, so I'm glad you'll be sticking around. The Zone wouldn't be the same without you.

[rcaldw]

Thank you Hos. I appreciate all you've done. Thanks to Reality and all those who continue to serve on staff. It is a great forum.

[Dodger12]

Sorry to see you step down Hos. You're a huge part of why this place is a great Cowboys forum. Maybe Reality can let you keep your "color" or an honorary title in recognition of your contributions to the site over the past 10 years.

I'm sure there's a back story to all this and I saw it coming for a few months now. In any event, I wish you well...............

[Vintage]

Tigers recent win. Upcoming major. I think I can read between the lines here.

[Bigdog]

Hos,

Thank you for all that you have done that makes this board great. Enjoy your free time as we know you will be watching a lot of soccer now. :laugh2: Just kidding.

[gimmesix]

I'm really looking forward to using the Ignore feature. Conversely a bunch of people will finally be able to put me on Ignore. Now and then someone announces when they have someone on Ignore. I don't intend to do that. It serves no purpose. But I am going to heed my own advice and use it.

So can we put you on ignore yet, or what? ;)

No, seriously, I've never put anyone on ignore, not even Clove, because I figure if I don't like something they've said or think it ignorant, I don't have to respond to it.

For the most part, you and I have agreed when it comes to the Cowboys and, although I haven't always agreed with you in how you responded to some who disagree with you, I have a lot of respect for your many contributions to this board.

Hope you enjoy just being one of us "little guys."

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I don't blame you man and I know exactly what you mean. I am being taken to task on 'another site' as we speak because i said I considered you a friend. they do indeed take your position as an excuse to take shots at you and i do not blame you one iota for not wanting to put up with a constant barrage of palpable butthurtedness.

As long as you are sticking around at least. :)

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Thanks Hos . I appreciate all that you've done for this great forum. Your love and passion for the Cowboys is clear with every post you make. That's one of the things I like about you. Enjoy your retirement.

[ware1manarmy]

I'm pretty new here in the zone but I've been reading here for a while under my brothers name. Hostile your were a big help getting me up and running and I thank you very much. Good luck with your extended free time and I look forward to reading your posts as a regular guy.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Thanks Hos you had a great run. CZ is my favorite forum and you're a huge reason why.

[CowboysFan02]

A lot of things have changed since the olden days, but you have always been one of the great constants. Thanks, just don't get too hostile in your retirement.

[Cajuncowboy]

Hey Hos.... Thanks for being there. You made this forum better by being here to handle us in the right way when we got out of hand. Enjoy the free posting time now.

Naw. I love this place. Best Cowboys forum in the world and there is no other place I'd rather be than here. They all still come every day for real Cowboys news when they tire of the same jokes they've been telling for over 8 years.

Even they know this place is the bomb.

[RastaRocket]

It looks so strange seeing your name as just a supporter.

Thanks for your time and effort in keeping this website a fun place to go to.

[Juke99]

6 years ago, Hos came to NY and we went to the NFL draft together. He stayed in NY for three days and pointed at every building and asked, "Is that the one that King Kong climbed?"

It was pretty annoying.

But he more than made up for that by constantly getting stuck in revolving doors...threatening to cheer for the Red Sox when we were at Yankee Stadium...asking for barbecue sauce at one of the finest Italian restaurants in NYC...trying to trip Mike Golic as he walked past us...and being totally rude to one of my close friends, Irv.

All in all, it was pretty annoying.

Oh, right, this was supposed to be a tribute.

...uhm...as a Wise Old Cowboy once said "Mike who?" :D

Uhm, I am proud to state a little known fact... Mike and I are related in an indirect way...I'm fooling around with his wife.

;)

For those who are unaware, that would be approximately the entire site because he never boasted about his efforts, the amount of time and energy Hos invested into this site, is one of the main reasons for its success.

The Zone, as you know it, is in large part a reflection of Mike's passion, creativity and love for quality.

That said, it's time for his next project/creative endeavor.

[jterrell]

Hos, you had a strong run.
I can attest to how much more fun things can be as a poster.

The ignore feature alone is worth gold.
You can get around much of the petty stuff that way and banter with only those you know can handle it and bring something to the discussion.

Short-term ignores work wonders for getting past contentious subjects.

Hope you enjoy being a regular joe around here as much as I have.

You were an admin here?

[jobberone]

I suspect he's been a mod elsewhere as have others here. It's a lot more fun not to have to watch over things and if I were a mod here I'd be much more subdued with my posting and never be confrontational in public. There's benefits in being part of the crowd.

FIrst to Hos...It was never an easy job but you handled it well and your promotion was well deserved.

Second to WoodysGirl...Why you needed the added punishment is beyond me but the Admin role is in your most capable hands now and I am thankful for that.

[Dash28]

Thank you Hos. I appreciate all you've done. Thanks to Reality and all those who continue to serve on staff. It is a great forum.

I'd like to just echo this.

Best of luck with your free time. Stick around sir.

It's a dark day for this rforum, but I console myself with the knowledge you'll still be around...

If it's what you feel is best for you, then I support your decision...

I know. I was here when you joined. Hos and I both go back to the forum before the last forum.

I was talking about jterrel's comment. Sorry I should have quoted it.

[notherbob]

Good luck as as Joe Poster. Thanks for everything you have done and you will be sorely missed as admin but WG was a good choice for a replacement. Have they asssigned you to any particular parole officer yet?

[DCBoysfan]

Wow... didn't expect to see this when I logged on, good luck with your new venture.

[cowboyeric8]

Thanks for all you have done for the site and for me. You are one of the big reasons I stayed on the site after I got pretty tired of it. But this is a great place, enjoy the freedom.

Also to all the other mods, you all do a great job as well.

[AKATheRake]

[Gibby!]

TooHostile, the absence of your influence as a mod/admin will be evident.

Thanks for the hard work over the last decade, you and the admin staff are big reason a lot of us still bother to come back here and you all deserve a pat on the back. I'm not talking about the "being a moderator" type posts either.

After ten plus years of seeing your name in red, its kinda weird seeing it in blue.

Glad you're going to hang around a while as JAG, it'll be fun :).

Thanks for everything Hos. IMO, 1st class all the way.

Hostile is a good man, that's all there is to it... I have immense respect and affection for him...

Glad you are staying around as "Joe Poster" but your presence will be greatly missed behind the scenes and keeping this place sane.

This place has never been sane, and never will be... that's why I call it home...

Any truth to the rumor that you are stepping down to pursue your longtime dream of being an NFL kicker?
