The only ban I've had since being a forum member, a three day vacation courtesy of whore heys (yeah, fuck you whore heys), was the result of a pissing contest I got into with DOA. After my ban expired when I came back I really started to appreciate DOA and count him as one of the better members, when he was made moderator I knew he would do the sort of job he did, too bad the rules changed and he was no longer allowed to be the enforcer this forum needs. 8 years is a long time to devote to anything, I can understand stepping away for a while, I do hope he changes his mind about leaving for good, I mean damn, that's a lot of history to just leave behind.
