All the very best for whatever you are doing next Pete!

[Van wink 2,994]

Like Cincinnatus returning to plough your furrow!

Best wishes and thanks.

[Mr Apples 1,315]

His like will not be seen again (well, at least not until the new person turns up). 🤣

All the best Pete.

Good luck Pete and agree with others sentiments on the quality of moderation.

Looks like all change today - the EDP editor who I think a few us on the board know has announced his departure

[wcorkcanary 4,329]

Thanks for moderating so diligently Pete, we've never met but would still like to thank you for your work and wish you the best for the future.

I don’t mind filling in for you for the first week when I commence annual leave. Maybe everyone could do a week after who has the free time on their hands?

More like Elton John, 'Beyond the Yellow Clad Team."

Good luck to you in your new "pasture".

Are in in Liz's new Cabinet?

[Greavsy 2,412]

good luck in your future endeavours  SDP. 

Its been a pleasure, mainly! 😉 

Will you potentially be available on a subscription basis, moving forward?

[Greavsy 2,412]

Is there a Rita in the office - so we could have Rita the Deleter as a replacement! 

or A Fraser the Eraser?

This is a moment.

Waveneyo has finally fessed up.

An era has ended.

I just need to decide which fortunate soul on the sports desk will be responsible for moderating the forum.

Well it'll have to be someone who's name rhymes with 'deleter' which limits your options somewhat

I was thinking much the same Corkio! 

And you've quoted it too - so it cannot be edited and denied! 

[FenwayFrank 2,448]

All the best Pete 😁

Good luck with your new venture Pete.

Good luck.

Could you bake him a leaving cake FF?

Good luck in wherever you’re heading Pete and all the best. Will it still be in journalism or has the Archant experience been more than enough ?

Thanks for helping me out so many times when my stupid computer wouldn’t co-operate and best warn your successor I’ll be giving him or similar hassle as soon as I track down their email address 😉

 

[Capt. Pants 4,194]

Good luck in your new role SDP. Thanks for keeping things ticking over and your low key moderation. The best referees are the ones you don't notice!

All the very best, Pete – onwards and upwards for you, I hope. You were always a friendly face around Prospect House when I was working there, and I'm sure your talents will be greatly appreciated by whomever you work for next. I echo what others have said in that I really appreciate you having moderated the board with such a light touch.

If you don't want to answer this publicly then fair enough, but how confident are you in the assurances you've been given that the board will continue? I know a couple of years ago a group of us talked seriously about the possibility of 'buying' and/or taking over the database – I hope that in the eventuality that NewsQuest no longer wanted the responsibility of the board, there would at least be a channel for us as fans to have the opportunity to club together to migrate the site to a new host. In the parlance of closing pubs, it is an asset of community value for sure!

100% confident. More than 1 million page views a month with zero resource/effort required on the editorial side.

Definitely staying within journalism but after 20 years it's time for a change.

[MooreMarriot 304]

The editor of the EDP David Powles has also announced his departure today.

[Number9 272]

Can sources confirm that it was by mutual consent?

[daly 499]

Make sure we don’t get a WOKE  waster

Good luck , Pete!

Is that the night Pete got his 'Deleter of the Month' award from Neil?

[First Wazzock 902]

I have heard that Cambridge is taking over, 8 new pages of threads every day!

[First Wazzock 902]

Good Luck Pete and Thanks

[Newtopia 517]

Thank you for all your hard work, and good luck for the future.
