Hey Everyone !

Please forgive me for deleting my account. It was on purpose to start fresh. Some of you may or may not know that my account has been deleted (under 3 different scenarios :(), But anyway we won’t go there. :slight_smile:

I’m still young… 16 years old to be exact, But age is just a number - So the title of this thread may sound a bit quirky… hehe. :stuck_out_tongue: I decided to public aknowledge for the first time, that I have stepped down as being a Moderator on the forums, and it has NOTHING to do with personal or social activity… I have no problems there. :slight_smile: But the mains reasons is why? I like testing Security Software from time to time, So I like joining forums and finding out about these particular security software, and gaining knowledge about them. So… let’s go back in April 2007 where I registered for the first time at the Comodo Forums. :slight_smile: I have Comodo Personal Firewall 2.4 after using ZoneAlarm for a year… yep I paid for it, But fell inlove with Comodo. ;D So I became heavily active here compared to other forums, I was a very curious forum member back then you could say! So I continued being a Comodo user, All the way till v3.0 was released in Nov 2007. I still then continued using it, And I then PM Melih in April this year asking to be a Mod, Since I have Been a mod on other forums, But I moved on from there too! By the way I was playing chess for 4 years on and became and official Tutor and organized live tournaments. Anyway if you go to the ChessRally Forums you will see my name Under Teen Corner… ChessRally wasn’t a big thing, it’s still not doing too well… http://forums.chessrally.com/ Anyway I PMed Melih, and I think I was the first person to actually DIRECTLY ask to be a Moderator and be accepted without any “votes” by other mods, Just a few talks I guess. So what did I want to do? Well I moved on from ChessRally, and decided to see what I could do with Internet Security, And I was soooo excited to be accepted here! It was a good day getting that PM from Panic/Melih, Welcoming me to the mod-squad! :slight_smile: So I moderated… tried new things, made a few ERRORS, hehe… and had a few problems like my account getting deleted 3 times, I guess the mods were kinda shocked. :wink: But now… I decide to once again, step back down a Moderator, officially.

But this time it’s different! Because in the past, it would be “Goodbye” with other forums, etc and you wouldn’t hear from me again. I am doing this because of what Comodo is building - A Trusted Internet, and I will still be around here guys!! So I HOPE we can all act like we always have, and still be a good and close community. I will still be using Comodo products. Anyway Comodo are doing something really amazing, and you should all understand that, They are building a Trusted Internet, By giving away free software, and making $$ in another way… In my eyes, Comodo are leaders in both BUSINESS and SECURITY. I have put my trust in Comodo ever since April 07, and I always will. THAT’S A PROMISE I’M MAKING RIGHT NOW !! And I want everyone to see that! :slight_smile: Anyway I know it was so sudden, me deleting my account so randomly and all… But it’s just me. I like doing new things, trying new things and just getting experience here and there, but off course like I said I will still be around! you will see me on wilders, etc.

Anyway. I hope you guys understand… And I hope everyone helps Comodo build a Trusted Internet, and Melih has done a great job. I am certainly still involved, powerless or not! (:KWL)

Anyway guys… Take Care. :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Josh.

Thanks Melih, It’s been fun. :slight_smile: I’ll still be here supporting you guys… No question about it! I would never break a promise, who knows what the future holds. But as I said, I do test software from time to time and join forums if I find interest. I want to have some kind of I.T position when I’m older, So I really experimenting around… I’m not saying I played Comodo!!! Or used you guys, I have completely TRUST in all at Comodo, and you Melih.

You’re one hell of a CEO, The best I have met online!

Cheers mate!
Josh

Sad that you are retiring 3xist. But why did you want to retiring anyway?

Well, I hope that you’ll stay here for awhile. (:AGL)

One good thing: you won’t have to trouble yourself with giving warnings to me anymore. ;D

#6

Cheers, Josh. :■■■■

You were a great mod. :wink:

#7

It’s been good Mod’ing with you Josh, thanks for all your help.

I must object, we were hardly even surprised by the 3rd time, let alone shocked. ;D

#8

Hey Josh. You are one of my closest friends here… And would consider you a friend in real life also. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done to make these forums more enjoyable and thank you for the chats we’ve had via pm’s :slight_smile: Really Appreciate what you do.

Oh yeah, Don’t forget I’m comming down to NSW sometime within the 1st to 2nd quarter of next year. Still have to catch up mate :slight_smile:

#9

Josh >:( now what are we gonna do with these padlocks? 88)

oh, i thought you said you wanna use different name? ???

#10

Josh deserves more posts than this. I haven’t been here too long, but I know he was a great mod and a person. :slight_smile: Thanks for all the fish.

#11

josh didn’t sell fish 88)

#12

Hey Josh :slight_smile:

Thank you for the help you gave me as a Moderator with issues I pm’ed you about. I always appreciated that very much :slight_smile:

Greetz, Red.

#13

What? You didn’t get the invitation to Josh’s secret fish stand? He has all the rare delicacies there and for great prices too. This is the real reason he is retiring – to spend more time at the fish market. :smiley:

#14

I did not experienced you very long as a moderator, but I know you have the hearth at the right place, and that is what counts the most for me! I thank you for all the effort you did here on the forums, by advising, testing and helping other forum members here.

I say goodbye to you as a mod, but not as a fellow comodo member and friend. (:WIN)

#15

Hey Josh it’s all okay. As Melih said feel proud of yourself. And don’t feel pressure, nobody thinks you played nobody, this is not the Skulls & Bones. LOL Will be great to see you around where and when you wish.

#16

:frowning: I can finally login in these forums again after 2 weeks and the first thing I read is Josh retiring ?

Well, it was really nice to work with you Josh. You’re a great person and nice friend :-TU

now I gotta go again.Hopefully I can find some internet in the next couple of weeks

#17

I’ve also appreciated your efforts here Josh, and I also think you left the moderatorship with your flag hoisted! See you around as a regular member!

I appreciate the kind words guys!

Thank you! :slight_smile:

EDIT: Oh Ganda, I decided to keep my real alias name because I wasn’t planning to public announce my leaving. By the way guys, Here is just a sample example at the ChessRally Forums when I left: Bedrock Options Investments

As you can see, I care much more about Comodo then just being a “power forum user” (Note the word POWER… (:m*)). And I hope you all support Comodo in the way I do too! Not just to be a Mod or anything, or have the highest post count, But to have TRUST in Comodo!

Cheers,
Josh
