You may have noticed that Adrian Jordan was recently promoted to Emperor of the world, oops, I mean - Global Moderator.. But what you may not have noticed is that our previous Global Moderator for many a year, the legendary William Swiger - now has a 'retired' prefix to his global moderator status, and has stepped back to let Adrian keep you rowdy types in check.. ;-)
Typically, William did not make a fuss about it or even start a thread, but after so many years of selfless service and countless gifts he has given to members here straight out of his own pocket, I thought it only fitting that this announcement be made to give you all a chance to thank him for his tireless commitment to the SBG community.
But don't worry, he isn't going away - just stepping down from the demanding and often thankless task of being a global moderator for what has become the most vibrant and still the friendliest Sword Forum on the interwebz..
So please take a moment to raise a glass and a toast to Bill!!
Huzzah!

Hahaha, William wanted to keep it on the down low, but I'm glad something got posted. He's helped me out so much, taught me a ton of stuff, and extended his generosity to me many times. Not just me, either, but many folks here. He's going to be a real, real hard act to follow. I may have to pull the "Look, we're not better or worse than the other, just different" card so I don't just look like a putz all the time, hahaha.
Thank you so much for everything that you've done for me and the forum, William. I appreciate it a lot more than a weak "Thanks!" message can convey.

My Emperor Emeritus. That villain Adrian Jordan has finally succeeded in deposing you! But I shall remain loyal to the man with more swords than I have money in the bank!
But yeah, thanks for doing so much for pretty much nothing Bill.
Adrian will now be raking in all that invisible swordbucks you used to earn from us peons.

Thank you for your selfless service to the community for such a long time William Swiger. I’m sure Adrian Jordan will try to fill your shoes, but will be hard pressed to do so. |

Bill has been a cornerstone of the community for as long as I can remember, always helping out with advice, giveaways, and reviews. Here's hoping you enjoy the life of a retired moderator!

Who's Bill Swiger? Oh wait, I sort of remember now. (We share a room at the Alzheimer Hotel.) Most of you don't realize it, but Bill is really only 27 years old. I told him not to take the job: this place beat the snot outta him. Bill had one of the finest collections of hi end medis out there, but he hid it all in a 6x6 porta dumpster in the trash bin, so his wife wouldn't know where all the green went every month. So as the sun sets over the potomac, William is gonna take up killing squirrels with a sling shot and other southun type stuff. Salute bro Billy. As fahmah Brown was apt ta say: That'll do PIG!

Bill thank you for all your efforts. The forum is a better place because of you. You have always been patient and thoughtful when some of us haven't . The true mark of a Gentleman.
