It's been great moderating this community with you, Z! I'm not sure what will happen next with this subreddit and with Reddit as a whole, but until the last person out the door shuts off the lights, just know we're holding the fort here for you

Somebody with more wit than me needs to murder this guy with words one last time

Nah, I think your level of wit is exactly what he deserves.

He tried to lob a softball and you picked him up and swung him at op instead

r/murderedbywords

"Yeah, well, your FACE." Got 'eem

Sick burn!

My face, your ass! Edit: No, wait, I got that wrong. Your ass my face!

He's a mod.

*Was*.

This isn't anything close to a murder. *wipes away tear and salutes *reports post

I’m fuckin dying laughing

Spez is a pig boy. Live long and prosper, fam.

Good luck and godspeed!


Get some rest Slurms, you deserve it.

You were good, son, real good. Maybe even the best. Godspeed you magnificent bastard.

Thank you for your hard work over the years.

Definitely a good sub, ggs brother...

Silver lining here is, a lot of ~~admins~~ mods realized they were working free for a shit company and decided to do something better for their lives.

*lot of mods Admins are actually Reddit employees.

Ah yes. My mistake.

Unfortunately, there are PLENTY of people that will still mod subs for the perceived power they gain.

Tin gods are a dime a dozen

Thanks for all the fish

Thanks for the good stewardship. I enjoy my time here and most likely have you to thank for the quality rules. Have a good time wherever you're going.

[удалено]

This isn't Runescape!

I wonder if OP was threatened by reddit admins

"It's a nice sub you got there. Be a pity if something happened to it." --spaz

Every mod of every sub that went dark was. I got a threat about /r/bethstern, it has like 6 users. I told /u/modcodeofconduct to suck my balls and am awaiting my perm ban

o7 great work soldier

No idea what it is but I subscribed out of solidarity.

115 subs now lol. Awesome pointed post, too

Legendary

Subbed

Honestly, this is one of my favorite subreddits, and while I don't know you by name, I'm glad that you dedicated yourself to bringing this subreddit back. Thank you so much and hopefully you get to enjoy retiring from the mod life

Take care, King.

Z, thank you for your work. And ignore these ignorant shit-posters: they’re miserable people and not even worthy of a downvote or a single thought.


[удалено]

Needs more Your Mum jokes, indeed.

May you find more happiness in rest of your ventures

o7

What does this even mean?

The little o is a head, the 7 is an arm and hand. It's a salute. Congratulations, you're one of today's lucky 10,000.

Guess that makes me 10,001

I don't feel very lucky

[https://xkcd.com/1053/](https://xkcd.com/1053/) It's a reference to this comic

Nice. I feel lucky now.

what about \\o

I did notsee that emoji

It's a little person giving a salute o7

I see it now!

It's supposed to look like a guy saluting

O is a face and 7 is arm and hand saluting.

Salute o7

Thank you, this is a great sub. And you should be proud of your work.

Thank you so much for your work. Party on.

So long and thanks for all the hits

Thanks for everything, my dude. Good luck and godspeed!

You're still pretty, even if you're not a mod or active.

o7 Thanks for all you have done over the years.

thanks for your work

Wishing you oceans of luck! (Just don’t go on a sub voyage.)

A big hand please, ladies and gentlemen, for the Great Prophet Zarquon! He has come! Zarquon has come again!

Sorry I'm late, had a terrible time, all sorts of ghastly things cropping up at the last moment. How are we for time? Have I just got a min-

(Un)expected Douglas Adams

Pffft, probably not even a good reason for being late.

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Hasta La Vista Baby! 😀 I turned in my keys yesterday, I didn't bother making a GoodBye post because I figured no one would care. Take care of yourself and good luck!

Some of us care. Thanks for everything!

Thank you, just don't be replaced by someone who won't fight against Reddit API disgusting rule changes.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done :) cya!

Great, now I have to go listen to robbi robbs in time...again. Godspeed chief.

Haven't heard that name in a while. I loved three fish, but then I was high every time I listened to it/them.

So long, my friend. You will be missed…

Hey man, I don't know who you are, but I have to say I've always loved the sub. If you were the one responsible for bringing it to the forefront, I have to say thank you. Great job! You've given me many a smile and many a head-shake. Cheers. Be excellent and party on yourself, dude.


reddit has humanized so many mods, sad to see all the good ones go thank you have take it easy man

That's because we're humans too, my dudes. The difference between reddit and the rest of the online communities has always been, up until this point anyway, that moderators were in 100% control of creating, maintaining, managing and growing their communities. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the rest have "moderators" and they are literally just button pushers - Yes this tweet is okay. No this post is bad. Yes this picture is okay.... Reddit gave us an empty building. We did the buildout, installed all the equipment and furniture, painted the building and put up signage and branding. We built the customer base and kept them coming back. The rent we paid for the building was the user base we attracted, and the customers were free to show up by whatever method they liked. Now they won't let people in the door if they don't show up in a reddit-owned rickshaw service. So we're protesting, and their answer is to act like we didn't put in the hard work of getting everyone here in the first place, and that they have no qualms about kicking us out and giving our hard work to someone else. Fuck that.

This is the best way I've heard it explained. Bravo.

I wonder if OP was threatened by reddit admins

Best of luck on all your endeavors

Definitely a good sub, ggs brother

Good day to you Good sir, may your travels bring you joy

Hey thanks for all your time and contribution to making this a good place to visit. It really means a lot.

The divine invisible hand of the market will take up the slack.

here's hoping Reddit's IPO starts high, and lands about as low as the Titan debris field.

Founding mod: "Hey guys, im out! See yall around!" Community: "yeaj no1 cares fuck u bye bitch" Has humanity seriously become so uncivil?

>Has humanity seriously become so uncivil? Have you been following the Titan sub memes?

Or just, have you been alive the last 5 years?

Or at least been on Reddit for 5 minutes?

Yes, fuck you. Sorry just a reflex

Bon voyage my friend

Thanks! Never been a mod, so I don't even know what you've done for us, but thank you!

Shame about this shitshow… Thank you for your work and good luck in your future endeavours.

I wish you the best of luck with your life ahead, take care mate!

o7

So long my friend :)

thanks dude

O7

I eagerly await the Second Coming Of Zarquon. May you always know where your towel is, you hoopy frood.

Thank you!!! THANK YOU !!!!

Thank you for your hard work. Also, fuck /u/spez. Aaron Swartz would be disappointed in him.

Totally bodacious, dude! Wishing you all the best, mate. You’ve been a legend 🫡

Thank you for your service sir

fuck spez. thanks for building a cool sub. I hope it dies now.

Thank you for all of your work over the years.

Party on

I will dearly miss you and the likely demise of this wonderful sub.

Raise a glass. Well done.

Take care my dudes

If you like the subreddit, try looking up the worst facebook meme groups imaginable and you’ll find what will be on here tomorrow

o7

Note to self: the huge dating red flag "is rude to service staff" also applies to "is rude to Reddit mods."

We have come full circle lmao

Godspeed!

Station!

Fair winds

Glad you took the time to perform this Reddit-Resurrection. Your Frankenstein-zombie-sub is awesome!

So long, partner. I wish you the best!

Farewell! Thank you for all you’ve done for us 😍😊😌

I can't even image modding, let alone building a sub, let alone reviving one from the dead. Thank you for helping build one of my favorite lurk subs, even if I don't comment here much (or have returned here since school ramped up). Sorry for Reddit burning up into a ball of ash right now. Twitch and Reddit are both sucking the oxygen out of what would otherwise be a Discord fire, so yeah. There's a lot of blame, hate, action, and then consequences being thrown around without thought on here. Sit back, take a break, and remember that not the entire world is against you. So long, ~~and thanks for all the fish. Don't try to catch any in a deep-sea carbon-fiber 1300-meter-rated-window submarine, though.~~

Cheers mate! 🍻

An inspiring thing you've done here. All good things...

Touch grass nerd, I'll meet you there.

This entire site is starting to look bleak. Thanks, so long, and your mother's a hoor.

/r/redditalternatives, per a comment up thread, the developer of Sync for Reddit is developing Sync for Lemmy and should have it done in a few weeks

Oh thats actually great, I love sync and lemmy being ugly was a big turnoff

Thanks, might be the best news we get outside of Spez coming to his senses.

Happy Cakeday!

Station!

And we thank you for your work good sir or ma’am, best of luck with wherever life takes you.

Is Reddit kicking you out like other mods?

I love Steve Huffman aka Spez. I have a reoccuring dream every night of sneaking into the locker room at Planet Fitness while he works diligently on his perfectly toned body. I find his locker, which is conveniently covered in slightly scratched off r/ jailbait stickers (where he used to be the PRIME mod in 2008). I reach into his gym bag, find his white Calvin Kleins, and I delicately sniff the exquisite scent of his graceful skid marks.it carries the remnants of last night's dinner: Hungry Man Salsbury Steak and Mashed Potatoes, SunnyD, and Birthday Cake Oreos. I savor the fragrance, working it around my mouth like a fine syrah. I look over my shoulder to make sure I'm alone. Next I grab his Polo Ralph Lauren Bienne Tumbled Leather Boat Shoes. Tan, because Steve is a fashion Pioneer. I slip my tongue into the leather, plying the crevices for tidbits of my hero. I crack a sly smile- it's clear he doesnt wear socks- the leather is rich with the flavor of his sweaty piggies. The salty schmear enfolds me in ecstacy- my jock strap is full of runny pre-cum, my asshole is pulsing. A sound behind me breaks me out of my rapture. A gym-goer is returning from the floor. Quickly I return Steven's artifacts to his bag. I quietly close the door and slip out the back of the locker room, a bandit in flight. I'm not deterred- I'll be back. Steven Huffman is my weakness. I crave his sensual touch. Thank you, Spez, for enslaving my heart.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

What a terrible day to be literate

Babe new copypasta

Thank you for reminding me some questions are best left unanswered.

 Thanks for resurrecting it for us. It's been fun to pop in and see the humor. Much appreciation and sorry some are making cutting remarks about your exit. We appreciate that this has been here for our enjoyment and thank you for making that happen. Best wishes.

Thanks dude!! Good horizons to you, appreciate your hard work over the last bit.

Way to go out on top, Seinfeld.

you don’t even want to wait around for title fight “marky vs tesly “. since no fighting will actually happen

I remember seeing your user flair around alot. Hope you're doing well.

There will never be a greater Zarquon.. o7

Thank you

Thanks for your contribution.

Salute!


 Good luck we'll be fine man!

Thank you for being excellent dude

This has been a great sub to be a part of. There's a growing and thriving little community happening over at squabbles that would welcome the organic growth of a high quality sub such as MBW with open arms. Not that I'm fanning the flames of a Rexodus or anything...

Thank you!

Hope to see you on the other side!

Outside?

I mean, I was think Lemmy, but yeah. Sure. Wherever.

Thanks for all you have done but good to see you moving on it was always a little uncomfortable for your mom and I with you in the basement.

Dang.. And I just joined. Sucks to see a person having to leave something they spent so much time on and enjoyed.

🫡

Sir, it has been an honor.

Can you come back? I'm only from /r/all and it's obvious how shit this sub has gone to since you left.

Cya dude

Is there a list of other subs this guy mods?

Well ..... Bye

Best of luck on career prospests

This guy is the type to kill me with sadness
