Hi everyone,
As the title implies, wonderful moderators @Baboo and @-karma- are finishing up soon. @Baboo 's last shift will be Monday evening and @-karma-'s last shift will be Tuesday evening.
What a lot of you may not know is that these two were the FIRST moderators of these Forums, with CherryBomb and I. These were back in the days when the Forums were only 'live' from 5pm-10pm AEST. Can you believe that!!
Baboo and Karma were critical in not just ensuring we were open for business on Monday & Tuesday nights, but they were instrumental in assisting in setting the tone and culture of this Forum.
It's quite funny reading our shift updates (we do one after each shift) from when we launched back in 2014. It was common to get excited about 5-10 posts in a shift
A big thank you to Baboo and Karma for all of your amazing support of others and the growth of this wonderful community!
Please join me in celebrating their contribution!

Thank you @NikNik @TheVorticon @Pepsimax @BlueBay @Shaz51@Mazarita for the well wishes.
It's a privilege to be invited to share the lives of others, as you have allowed me to do here on the forums.
Unfortunately I am unwell and can not complete my final shift moderating tomorrow night, however @Baboo will have twice the fun covering for me.
Best wishes in return, my interest and work in mental health continues!
All the very best
Karma

Sorry to hear you are unwell @-karma- I hope you are on the mend soon
@-karma- @Baboo Despite the sadness at seeing both of you finishing up on the forum I am sure that whatever is waiting for you in the future will be better for having both of you involved.
Thankyou both for the amazing job you have done - for others - and for me personally when I have needed that little bit of extra support.
Goodluck and best wishes to you both - you will be missed!
