Sad to see you step down, you did a great job. I have no idea how you managed to do the job solo for so long, but I can only imagine that you do not require sleep, and you feast on tickets for sustenance. Have fun discovering all the video games you missed!

I can't quite believe how long he ran a one-man show, considering that this site has roughly 25,000 or more users.

Nice try. Since I've been here, the site's gained over 75,000. loko went crazy long, long ago.

Damn, loko. I'll miss your bans D:
Good luck, man. Hope to see you around here, at least trolling the forums with us :)

Oh...so that's what you meant.
Lokonopa, I never got the chance to personally meet you, but from a distance I watched you handle those Support tickets like the awesome mod you are. I still have that screenshot you showed me bookmarked, and I will look back at it once in a while if I ever feel like Support is not responding to my tickets, and be reminded of the backlog y'all have.
Thank you so so much for all that you've been done for the community and myself, and best of luck in playing all those games. You'll catch up some day, then we'll be there to spam you with games like Horrid Henry all over again.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;_;
Well, you deserve the break. It's a shame to see you leave though. So much change. :/
Hope you enjoy your time now. <3 I know it was probably insane before.
EDIT: So you will not be head mod but a co-mod?
EDIT2: *This was good... wasn't it?** ;_;7 (Don't read comments if you haven't played the series yet)

Greetings community,
It's been a memorable year here at SteamGifts and I felt I've helped out a bit around here. I've made a lot of friends in the process and tried to stay active in the community while moderating. Unfortunately, the activity over the last few months has truly been exhausting for just one person, and I haven't been able to keep up. A few dedicated users in the community have been promoted to (Support) to assist with tickets, but it's only helped with organizing a backlog of tickets in the hundreds.
Fortunately, those Support members will eventually be promoted to moderators on the site and we'll have a full blown staff. We hope this helps many issues plaguing the site, such as requests taking too long or suspicious activity not being dealt with in a timely manner. The FAQ has the new staff listed and this will be updated accordingly to reflect their new positions when the system is ready. As many have noticed, support already received categories to better organize tickets.
The admin is currently working on other helpful updates that will greatly aid the new team. They'll be loaded with features that will make a more robust and efficient bunch than this dinosaur. While I will be stepping down, I won't be leaving the community or abandoning the newly appointed mods when they're just starting. I'll try to remain active and share with them my experiences after moderating SteamGifts solo for a little over nine months, but I will no longer be the primary moderator.
I volunteered to assist moderating SteamGifts when Cult was still boss during the fall of 2011, but due to personal reasons, he had to drop out of the community. I loved the community and what we do around here, so I've dedicated a lot of time and effort in keeping things in order. When I could no longer remain on top of the increasing demands of the community, I decided to step down for the same reasons. It's best for the community and will give me time to start knocking out my gaming backlog. I'll finally be able to start on those purchased during last year's Summer Sales. ;)
Best regards,
loko
