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

I wish you the best of luck, and may you game 'til your eyes and ears bleed and you can't move your fingers and you have such a headache it feels like Molag Bal himself is hitting you with his mace. But not in a bad way, it's all for the sake of gaming. The most glorious purpose of life there is.

Fare thee well, Loko <3

When I first came to the site, it was only loko doing everything. I honestly couldn't wrap my head around the fact that he managed the grievances of 100,000 people by himself. I was beginning to think he was in fact the steamgifts server grown self-aware. I must say I'm relieved he stepped down, because that proves he was human, and the rise of the machines is not nearly as close as I once thought.

Or, perhaps he needed the extra CPU power to strategize our total annihilation. Oh well, we'll know soon enough. Game on!

Thanks for all the work you've done, most of which I'm probably not aware of.

"start on those purchased during last year's Summer Sales"
I know that I have at least one game from winter 2010. Probably more than that.

Your comprehensive reading skills need to improve from their 2nd grade level. That, or just stop being a lazy dick and actually read what loko said.

lokonopa, thank you very much for the copious amount of time and energy you have put in making this site a wonderful place. You helped me more than once and I am very thankful for how you handled my problems. I can only imagine you helping everyone else the way you helped me, and you will most certainly be missed. :(

I am however happy to hear you are not leaving the community. Have a wonderful time playing those games. :D

Take care.
