ArryIT?

Postby TimeWillTell » Mon Aug 24, 2020 3:44 pm

Haven't seen anything from him in quite awhile. Hope he's okay! Did I miss something?

Just wondering. He used to be really active.

I've talked to him. He needed a break. No timetable on a return.

I've been a forum mod/admin for about 20 years. It only takes 1-2 people to make things difficult and want to take a break or quit, or you can burn yourself out by being too active, or it feels like a job after a while instead of a fun hobby, etc.

Besides myself, I can recall just one other person who has stayed as a mod/admin actively the entire time. Everyone else slowly faded away for all those reasons I mentioned above. Heck, when I started posting here, about 5 DLF staff members would post regularly. 4 of them have since quit/left and the other one only logs on to make sure the site is running.

It's not easy at all to be a mod or admin on a forum of any kind. It's like a constant target on your back or an obligation. Arry devoted a large amount of his time here, so I'm sure he feels freedom right now being away from this place. Once you have a taste of that freedom, it's hard to come back.

BTW, this thread will be moved to its rightful location.

Sorry I put it in the wrong.

I was just genuinely curious, and partly concerned given the world we live in. Glad he's okay and definitely earned a break! Wish him the best for us!

Just ended up on "Off Topic" since there's not a lot of NFL news, the forums are a little quiet/stale right now without much to talk about so I dropped down here...

Hadn't thought about ArrylIT in a long time, but after seeing the thread I recall how he was posting in just about every thread. He posted so often, I figured he must be on the forum 15+ hours a day! Understandable if he needed a break. Also understandable if some of the posters may have got under his skin. Like Mike said, being a Mod is a pretty thankless job. ArrylIT did it well.

Hope he's having a good time whatever he's up to. And maybe he'll be back one day.

I actually spoke with him today, and quite recently. I'm in a league with him.

I believe he's very busy with work etc. and has just taken some time out from fantasy. Sure he'll be back soon enough :D

Just a minor correction that I did not take any time out from fantasy sports - mostly from forms of social media like FB, forums, and the such. Still very active in my leagues (of which I have too many :lol: ). Although admittedly I think the pandemic made it hard to enjoy or focus on fantasy sports.

Anyways Happy Easter.
