Zyphlin is stepping down as a moderator due to real life events. The moderation team wants to thank him for his contribution to DP (he was a mod for more than 10 years). We wish him nothing but the best in his future.
 
Hope everything works out in RL Zyph and wishing you the very best.
 
Best wishes to you Zyphlin, thank you for all you have done here at DP.
 
Wow. Good luck to you Zyphlin. Stay in touch.
 
Good luck Zyph!

You've been a good mod and a thoughtful poster. Hope you can still fine time to grace us occasionally.
 
Good luck to you, Z. Job well done. :cheers:
 
Starting to feel like maybe the derangement is beginning to take its toll around here.
 
Indeed. Job well done Z.

See where it says "real life events"? There's no need to show your ass in an announcement thread thanking someone for being a mod for 10 years.
 
Oh wow, I hope the real life events are good ones, or work out well and quickly.

Zyphlin was a great poster, a great mod, and some one I had the utmost respect for. When I was promoted to mod, I very quickly learned that if Zyphlin disagreed with something I did, I needed to rethink my actions quickly. Most if not all the things I did right as a mod where due to his tutelage, and what I got wrong was because I did not pay enough attention to what he taught me.

I hope he continues to post at DP, a lack of his presence would make the board so much less than it is. But mostly I hope everything works out well for him. Hugh's phrasing in the OP is concerning, it reads like something went wrong, though hopefully that is just me projecting my worry into his words.
 
Wow, 2 big losses back-to-back. Thank you for your service, Zyph. A relatively thankless job and you served it well. Best of luck.
 
To Zyphlin, when I 1st arrived I had issues with polls timeout, and other things that needed to be changed in an OP.

10 years as a Mod, that is rare. I am sue these duties took an inordinate amount of time away from your family and friends.
You helped me out so many times, and always so good about it. I enjoy reading your posts, and wish you and yours the best.
Second time I have hoped a Mod wins the Lotto-If ya do, pls share.
 
Please add my Thank You to the chorus! :kissy:

If anyone can do the difficult, it's probably you! :thumbs: Spending ten years as a mod here surely means you're more than qualified to teach the hoi polloi we send to DC how to do the jobs we elected them to do - ie, work for all the people, not just those of one party!

How soon can you begin? :mrgreen:
 
I hope real life is as fair and reasonable with you as you were with us. Best of luck in all your endeavors.
 
Oh no. I'm going to miss Zyph. He's the mod who made me up my thread-starter game. in the end, I began to appreciate his vigilance, and spent a few extra minutes on my OP's to ensure they passed muster. You will be missed.

Good luck moving forward, Z. No hard feelings, I hope.
 
Wow. Not Zyph too. Another great moderator who is always fair and level-headed. Thanks for keeping everything in line for the last 10 years, Zyph.
 
I have no idea how many times Zyph dinged me. But it was a lot. ha ha. Well deserved I was. Best of luck to you and your family
 
I know we had our differences...but I always thought Zyphlin was a fair moderator. I wish him the best on his all his future endeavors.
 
Ten years of selfless service to the DP community - wow.

Zyphlin, thank you doesn't seem to be strong enough to recognize you for what you've done for all of us, but I can't think of anything else to say, except... I wish you fair winds and following seas in your life to come.
 
Best to you, Z. Your moderation will be missed. I hope you'll remain as a civilian on DP.
 
Best of luck Zyph. Hope you can still post from time to time.

'Z' I didn't even know you were a moderator. That is the best kind! Thank you and good luck!
Regards,
CP
 
Hope the real world stuff is a positive in your life. My infractions page will miss you!

Ditto. I wish Zyph and his own the best of all things life has to offer.
 
Pretty bummed, we are going to miss him terribly. Zyphs contributions to the DP community and moderator forums are going to be such hard shoes to fill.

Respect, love, and nothing but good wishes Zyph.
