    i'm sure there's a good reason i don't know,but i think Matt was a good,positive,helpful and fun moderator.i don't know why anyone had a problem with him,since i'm all over this forum and never saw him break any code of ethical conduct.i never met him in person,but he seems like a good fit,which is why he was chosen in the first place.easy to criticize and complain about people in a position,like when people complain about swellinfo innacuracies in forecasts.easy targets.please consider

    Thanks for looking out, but we have things taken care of. A new, unbiased, moderator has been brought on to assist in keeping things under control. The moderator will not be a regular poster, but someone who will just make sure everyone plays nicely and doesn't break the forum rules, such as vulgar language, insulting and threatening other members, racist/sexually offending remarks, etc, etc, etc. You got the point.

    I remember matt back when he wasn't a moderator and I think he was more pleasant. I don't really have specific examples, but I do think he does have a good wealth of knowledge about surfing.

    Yeah micah and i can the a decison that it would be best for me to step down. Micah will tell you he had no issues with my moderator duties .

    I think it funny how the only people who compained about me being a mod were the ones who started drama?? The ones who had more than one username and the one who only been here a short time.
    I have met alot of people of the site from surifng and going to the swap meets and it funny how all the ones who showed up were friendly and very nice. It just seem like a certain handful of you only come on here to start B/S and Drama.

    Anyways the people who know me and like me on here out in the water know the truth . The ones who gotta hate gotta make themselves belive there own bs . Its really kinda sad

    like i said,i never had a problem with him,i don't know him personally,but i guess some of you guys did,though he seemed reasonable to me.i know yankee and bueno and ihatelongboarders have been really rough,and i'm no gruvi/hilly myself,but i find the Matt Johnson removal an end of an era,since i was around when he was appointed.

    I only lash back when people make idiotic comments and don't know what they are talking about.

    I never had a issue with you on the forum . Its the ones that constantly start drama, and attack ppl for no reason only cause they got nothing better to do or conductive to the topic they are taking off its current path.

    I think it may shy people away from asking questions that they may have by being in fear of getting called a kook. This forum is just full of people who think they're all Slaters, it gets ridiculously annoying. Why can't the people of this forum act like the ones on swaylocks...or normal.

    once bitten...

    that is a good point. there is a lot of posturing and self-egotism from some people that seems unnecessary, but i guess it makes the flamer feel better about himself. oh well.

    Hey brother I hope you aren't referring to me as I did not even think of you when I asked the admin about my ban issue. I don't even know whom initially enacted a ban on me before I pieced things together after reading your boast about it after it happened. As far as I understood everything was copasetic between us and then I guess you were the one that did ban me for your mistaken ID of me.It's cool you never said sorry for it, some of us have a hard time accepting personal responsibilty. I don'y hold a grudge and forgive ya man :)
