I thought he already was an admin?!

He was, but now he has inherited TosaInu's role as the overall leader of the Org staff. Ser Clegane has taken over Kukrikhan's previous role as second Forum Admin.

I would like to thank TosaInu for all his contributions to the Org. He's been the rock that has kept the Org such a civilised and friendly place. :bow:

And I am very pleased to have Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane as new admins. :2thumbsup:

In that case.I would also like to thank Tosainu Sama for his great work here at Org that has allowed us to be a part of this great forum.Im sad to see You go. Thank you Tosa!:bow:

This feels like the end of an era. I am sad to see you go as well, TosaInu. You've done an excellent job here.

Congratulations, KurkiKhan. May your reign last long ~:thumb: .

KukriKhan

04-01-2006, 15:02

Thanks, fellas.

Let me add my praise of TosaInu: On top of the civilized tone he brought to this place (an invaluable asset, in its own right), his tireless, usually un-heralded work behind-the-scenes made the org the fun, interesting, and safe place it is. My deepest gratitude to him. I can only hope to someday fill his shoes.

He is still around. His real-life commitments dictated reduced time to spend here, so he handed me the keys to the maintenance closet, the better to keep the place tidy and mopped-up.

Your humble janitor. :bow:

04-01-2006, 15:05

Very sorry to hear you're stepping down Tosa; I hope you are going to continue to be a patron here now that you won't be encumbered with admin tasks.

I agree Ludens, it is very much the end of an era. I guess Tosa's been guiding this place for, what, 3 and a bit years? Almost half the time there has been an Org to call home.

The only upside (other than Tosa getting his life back) is that Kukri is taking over. Can't think of anyone better to continue the spirit of this place. Excellent choice. :thumbsup:

If I may be so bold as to suggest that Tosa is made at least a Senior Member? Absolutely no one deserves the honorific more. :bow:

As one reign of terror ends, another begins. Let us hope that Kukri is just as brutal and tyrannic as Tosa was.

But, seriously, congratulations to both of them. Tosa has done a fine job, and i'm sure Kukri will do just as well. And as therother suggested, Tosa should be made a senior member. He deserves it.

As a newcomer to the Org, I would like to add my thanks for the efforts Tosa has made to make this place such an interesting and welcoming forum. The standard of debate, thought and enjoyment is very high, and that is in no small part due to the admins and moderators. :bow:

KukriKhan, I have had the privilege of reading your posts and would like to wish you the very best in your new role. May I never fall foul of your kukri...

Good Luck to all.

I'm not sure that wide-scale hoaxes that enrage members and involve staff repeatedly breaching their own TOS is really Tosa's style. :no:

Be assurred that this is perfectly serious and indeed it will be hard to imagine the good ship Org without Tosa at the wheel. I wish him the very best and offer a hearty congratulations to Kukrikhan for the well-deserved ascension.

04-01-2006, 20:39

There's little left to say about TosaInu and his work here that has not already been said. It all bears saying again, in full instead of as a simple "Hear, hear!", because that is the recognition it deserves. It has been an honour working with him.

This forum has been upgraded, tweaked, altered, honed, expanded, and polished, endlessly, with many long hours worked. He has always been around to help when needed, and a source of great advice and ideas. No matter what, he has always kept his cool, and he has my wholehearted admiration for that. I know I could not have managed the same. He has made hard decisions, which does come with the job, admittedly, but still it merits recognition. Let us not forget his posting style, one which frequently reduces me to a helpless smile as I realise he's managed to say in three sentences something I would need an entire paragraph for.

Oh - and the dancing elephant. Can't forget him. :elephant:

If I may be so bold as to suggest that Tosa is made at least a Senior Member? Absolutely no one deserves the honorific more. :bow:
Seconded. He deserves it if only for putting up with the entirely too many "Could you [inset one of many possible requests to alter the forum in some way, usually involving upping character/picture limits for posts]?" PMs I've sent him over the years. Poor man.

Congratulations to KukriKhan and Ser Clegane. :bow:

solypsist

04-01-2006, 21:16

it was unanimous among the staff discussion that Tosa's choice of Kukri and Ser Clegane as admins during his away time are the best for this forum. not much more can be said other than Tosa deserves a hearty congratulations for running this board during his term. my only regret is that i was never able to implement the "dog cam" due to my own procrastination (and shipping tariffs from the USA to Netherlands).

04-01-2006, 22:16

Gah, The Org is disappointed to see him leaving the homeland while was as happy to have been under such a calm, friendly, industrious and constructive moderation.

Some fellows have gained a higher reputation within my humble mind through my activity period here, and TosaInu is one of them, deserving seniorship to the bone.

Hope to see you back in action again, Tosa :bow:

LeftEyeNine

04-01-2006, 22:20

I'm glad to see master KukriKhanand SerClegane are on the wheel. I'm sure that TheOrg will be just as brilliant as it was under Tosa 's wings.

Congrats, Kukri and SerClegane :bow:

This will take a while to get used to.

Thank you for everything you have done for us, TosaInu- one of those being my name change from meatwad to my current, much more appropriate, name. Thank you.

04-02-2006, 13:19

It seems I forgot to congratulate Ser Clegane. Congratulations Ser! May you enjoy your new seat on the Org's inner council.

If I may be so bold as to suggest that Tosa is made at least a Senior Member? Absolutely no one deserves the honorific more. :bow:
Seconded! If there is anyone senior here, it's him.

It is a weird sight not seeing TosaInu spelled in threatening red, truly the end of an era.

TosaInu: thanks for all your hard work here, the amount of demands, complaints, questions and other stuff you've handled over time is amazing. As was the incredible speed at which you seemed to be able to do it all. Yours are truly large shoes to fill.

Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane: congratulations ! I hope you are up to the task of filling those shoes. There are probably no people on the Org better suited for the job than you. Good luck, and try to have fun !

Zain

04-02-2006, 20:09

Wow, this is a strange thing. I went back and counted, and Tosa has been in charge for all of the time I've been here, 84 days to be exact. And I'm going to have to say that this site is the nicest Forum site I have been with, and definently the best run. I believe that KukriKhan will do an excellent job, but Tosa's ways will never be matched. Congratulations to both of you, have a nice life Tosa, and good luck with everything Kukrikhan.

I have to admit, even though I've had some time to try and digest it, it's still very difficult to imagine the .Org without Tosa as Admin. I feel it's a testament to how good he is in the role that most of the absolutely brilliant and critical things he's done have gone largely unnoticed.

Congratulations to Kukri and Ser as well, I am sure you will do an excellent job.

.. It is a black day when the mighty falls (Or retires).. I really must admit that I was first stunned when I visited this site. It's so organised that it gets the people who visit it to wonder, if those who really administrate it are really humans. I haven't been around for a long time, so I can only say with my chin up: "I'm proud to have witnessed your days". Farewell Tosa, whole communities are found and fortified with efforts of people like you, as rare as those people are, as lucky we feel to have you been in the Total War community. Good luck with your life, and may you have the happyness you wish for.

Congratulations Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane. You have a very high line to try to jumb over.. I salute you at the start of your journey, the journey of a million miles, that starts with one step.

I hope you don't quit the Admin position because of the bad behaviour some people showed on your board recently.

I hope we still see you around, but as a Senior Member, please. :elephant:

As a new mod, one of my very first actions was a serious, brain-dead level mistake that even a day-old newb couldn't possibly have committed. Yet Tosa quietly and quickly stepped in to fix things and return everything to normal. Not a cross word, not an eye-roll, just a quiet concern to help get things back on an even keel. TosaInu? You, sir, shall be sorely missed.

My very best regards, Kull/Paul

Wow. For me, personally, it has been impossible to think of the .org without thinking of TosaInu. He has been the epitome of the perfect moderator for longer than I can remember. There is nothing that I can say, other than, with sincerity:

Thank you.

Congratulations to Kukri and Ser Clegane! You have quite the pair of shoes to fill.

04-06-2006, 03:18

Wow. I've had a few days to digest this news and it hasn't helped one little bit. In the back of your mind you know a day like this will eventually come, but it doesn't lessen the shock when it happens. The Org without Tosa seems impossible, but here it is. Tosa was always there for the staff when we needed him and when we didn't, he'd leave well enough alone. If you were quiet for too long, you could count on a "Hello. How are you doing?" PM to let you know he's thinking about you. It is the little things like that that made the Tosa era so special. Several times when I was a moderator, Tosa's "dutch logic" (as he calls it) helped me think through a difficult situation. His support was invaluable. Of course, there were those times Tosa earned his "pay" - the thanks and respect of the membership. He oversaw a couple of board moves, a few database corruptions, some ugly member crises and countless board enhancements. I can't even begin to imagine of how much time he invested in these boards - especially those unplanned events which I'm sure inconvenienced his personal life tremendously. His dedication to the Org of the past few years has been unsurpassed.

I'll add my voice to the choir shouting "Senior Member". Tosa has always shrugged off any accolades anyone tried to bestow upon him. Maybe now that he isn't running the show he will get (wanted or not :laugh4: ) some of the recognition he so richly deserves. Thank you Tosa for all you've done - for the Org and also for me personally. :bow:

As for those who must attempt to fill Tosa's shoes, I can't think of anyone better than Kukri and Ser. Congratulations gentlemen. Best wishes to you both. I know you two will continue to maintain the Org's fine reputation. :bow:

A man is sitting in an office waiting room. Down the hall a door opens and several men in expensive suits walk out. The man remarks to the secretary that they are very well dressed. She says, "They dress that way because one day they're going to be important."

A moment later a man walks out of the office down the hall wearing baggy pants and an unbuttoned shirt. The man waiting in the office remarks to the secretary that that man isn't very well dressed at all. She says, "He's the CEO, he dresses that way because he is important."

TosaInu, I hope you are not retiring for reasons of bad health or anything else untoward that has happened to you. I have always admired your style and work ethic and you have a great great sense of humour to boot. I haven't been around that long and all I can say is your last decision -- that of appointing Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane as your successors -- is as judicious as all other decisions I have seen you make. Thank you for all you have done for the .Org and best of luck to the three of you!

The Org has been a home for me the last years and you have been the host of that place. I can't think of how many work hours you put into it. During my time as staff member it has always been a relief that there was a person above me that would trust and support me. I can only hope to have justified that trust. You on the other hand had all the responsibility on your shoulders and you bore that extremely well.

Admin or Senior Member or even Patron... the truth is that the Org will always be your place.

Yep, Ichigo, you said it right!

All I can, humbly, advise is that you also try reading back way back in time to the olden Org days when a "Sir Kuma of the Org" was an administrator/moderator (an old timer could confirm which one), everybody worked on a complex post ranking system which worked up from Ronin - Kensai and whole forum had a "Dungeon" forum for modding. Reading back in the Watchtower, from page 28, is most enjoyable and informative, perhaps you guys could give it a try sometime.

Just dug up this ancient thread (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=67198). Hopefully it could help you understand what occured to cause the return of the almighty dictatorship of TosaInu!
I believe that it involved TosaInu, Kukrikhan and others out riding their camels one spring morning, and it occurred to Tosa that the time had come when they should decide as to whom among them should become Emperor. The others suggested a democracy but Tosa explained to them that this would collapse in time leaving one man with absolute power anyway. So it was that Tosa suggested that they should ride at full gallop to the crest of the hill and whomsoever reached the summit first would be proclaimed Emperor of all of the Org. Tosa though had secretly borrowed Assistant Moderator Martok's red robes the night before, and when the riders set off Tosa placed the robe near to his camel's nose so that he would catch the scent of his beloved stable hand. This caused the beast to set off at a mad gallop for the summit and indeed Tosa on gaining the hill was proclaimed Emperor of all the Org.

True is that. :yes:
