For those of you who have heard the rumors that adiaphora has gone off the deep end, they're not (entirely) true!!!

After three years of serving as moderator of the ever-lively Christus Victor Ministries discussion board, I have decided to pursue my dream of deep sea exploration. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get a decent internet connection in my diving bell, so it's time for me to hang up and dive.

Thanks to everyone for the privilege of sitting in on your conversations. I learned a thing or two, laughed a lot, and listened in without having to interrupt the flow hardly at all. You have made my job very easy. Always watch out for one another and take care of each other, so we can all enjoy less moderation and more passion. I think if I was going to stick around I'd make that my signature. Maybe I can turn it into a bumper sticker for my diving bell. Do you think the squid will understand? Maybe it's better if they don't....

I'm excited for you all to meet my successor, ataraxia. You can tell by the name that you are in for a real upgrade. As for my name, I see no reason to conceal it from you any longer. Call me Ishmael.

Well, it's time for me to find my own flow. Farewell!

You have been a marvelous moderator. My appreciation for you is matched only by my profound respect for you. We have had a few "interesting" episodes where you've really had to step up, haven't we.Eyebrow

Hope you catch some really reall BIG fish!

Love ya
and thanks

Don't know what a "deep sea safari" is, but I know you'll enjoy it! (That's kinda like "I don't know what their plans are, but I know we can stop them!" = secret joke).

Thanks for a the hard work, tough love, and patient guidance. We love you for making the site available and keeping it working for us.

Peace,
Tom

Bon Voyage Adiaphora!
Don’t forget your chronometer. Watch out for giant squid, and say hi to Dick.

We were glad for your authority, such as it was:

A: “This board is not a democracy. It is 99% semi-benevolent anarchy and 1% reluctant dictatorship.”

adiaphora

S: Yet, we are happy you will never have to utter these words again:

“You will not be able to post again until I hear from you.”

Thanks,
adiaphora


S: Thanks for all your hard work and for keeping your sense of humor.


A: “CVM has been trying to figure out ways to raise some more money so that we can host conferences, publish more stuff, beef up our website, and turn these ideas into a movement.

Therefore we will begin collecting fees for gratuitous posting.

For example:

Starting a new thread—$25
Posting more than 500 times—$3 per post
Posting images—$5 per image (but only 50 cents per smiley face—however, $1.50 for little devils)
Posting scrolling images—$75 each
Posting big letters—$1 per letter
Posting big bold letters—$2 per letter
Postingsuperlonglinksorlineslikethisthatstretchoutthewindowsoyouhavetoscrollbackandforthtoreadthepost—$500
Posting anything that is not your own words—$1 per word.
Posting from another country—$2 per post
Multiple aliases—$100 per extra alias

These fees are retroactive.

A full list of the fees, together with your bill will be emailed to each of you in the next few days." ~ a


S: The check is in the mail.

Blessings,
Springs
