...that I must bid you all adieu. A new job that I was offered suddenly necessitates that I sever my ties with MacNN, effective immediately, not to mention that with the job, I wouldn't be able to devote the time to the forums that they — you — deserve.
With that, I leave you in the capable hands of all the other admins and moderators.
It's been a great (and bumpy) ride these past 6 years, but it's time to get off and stretch my legs. Godspeed, everyone!

No matter what, oversized graphics will always be Tookized.

I don't browse around macnn forum much anymore these day but I've always thought you as one of the great mods around that stick extremely to the forum guidelines.
Have fun in your new job

Is that the sound of celebration I hear coming from Kevin's house? The clinking of glasses, the tinkle of the piano and the mad laughter proclaiming "one gone, many more to go"?
Godspeed, Tooki.

Why would I celebrate? I don't think I've ever attempted to get tooki to quit.
Please don't turn this into a flame-fest.
I am sure tooki isn't quitting NN. Atleast I hope not.
I still think NN should keep his mod status present even if he doesn't have as much time.
If this is the idea you have of me, I apologize for projecting such a image.

That was the first thought I had as well, though I imagine there are other possibilities..
In any event, congratulations (I presume you're happy about the job) and good luck, tooki. This place is going to feel strange for quite some time...

Sever ties ... sounds a bit drastic. Hope your new employer is not in the bridge-burning industry.
Best wishes at the new job at any rate.

Wow, I've been around these forums since 2000-2001 (in one form or another) and tooki's always been here. It's going to feel different.

I've heard rumors of oversized images being used as part of a vast and sweeping global terrorist plot, and someone was needed with special skills to handle this emerging threat...
Enter the Tookinator! Mwahahahahahahahaha!
Congrats, best wishes, etc, etc.

Tooki,
Good luck.
EDIT: Tooki and Kofi said good bye on the same day.
Coincidence?

We'll see ya back when being a Mac Genius/Creative drives you insane and you quit, hopefully in a spectacular manner. Be sure to get it on film. Godspeed!
