Puff Cigar Discussion Forums

I have been debating this with myself for the last couple of months and making up my mind was not an easy thing to do. I really enjoy helping the members here when I get a chance and have meet some great people. But I have no plans in going anywhere, just won't be a Mod.

This year has been crazy, with my step-son in and out of the hospital with surgeries, taking care of him and mama, and working a lot of hours on top of that I am just burned out. I want to be able to just log on relax and enjoy myself, read what I want and post with out having to worry about catching every little thing, searching areas and post I norm wouldn't etc.. I hope everybody can understand this.

I want to say thanks to the Puff team and all the Mods, they do a great job here and I know its not always the easiest thing to do. Watching over a bunch of great members and many that are friends is very hard. I also want to thank Daniel (Stogie) for giving me a chance when we where still on Cigar Live. Man we had some great times and that place ROCKED!!! Thanks brother.

Like I said I'm not going anywhere so y'all will still see me around! There are a lot of great people here, and new people. All of which is keeping Puff headed in the right direction. All you BOTL/SOTL Rock. Keep it up!

Darn it, Frank,,, You did such an excellent job !

Are you sure this is what you want to do?
please think it over some more, or is this something you been thinking about for some time?
can a Mod be allowed to just slow down or take a break?

Take good care of yourself & your family Frank. Thank you for all your hard work and I look forward to continuing to see you on Puff!

Sorry to see your leaving the Mod position. I know how hard it must have been for you to come to this decision. Your reasoning is right, and you deserve a break on the board. it is good to know that you will still be posting on the board. Thanks for all your work here!

Frank, you have done a fantastic job as a moderator. You will be missed. Glad to hear that you will be still checking in every now and then as a regular Joe Blow!

I know I haven't been on this board long, but I've always thought that you did an excellent job! The mods on here on Puff are great IMO! Alot of other forums could learn alot from you guys here.

Good luck Frank!!!
