Changing of the Guard: SeraphicStar

Posted by Kim on June 10, 2019, 9:00am

After roughly nine years of devoted service to the RPR community, SeraphicStar is leaving our mod team today.

He wanted me to tell you: "It's been almost a decade since I was picked to be a moderator for the RPR. It's been my pleasure and privilege to interact with this community as both a member and a moderator. I've met a lot of wonderful people I'm pleased to call my friends, and I like to think I've grown and developed as a person throughout these years.

But time passes, we're all getting old, and the responsibilities and challenges in my life aren't compatible with moderating the RPR anymore. It's been a good run, but our paths diverge here. It's sad, but it's for the best - for both the RPR and for myself.

I want to thank Kim for being our bright, headstrong, absolute gem of an Admin. You've been a joy to work for and with. Your love for your work and your empathy are inspiring.

I also want to thank the other mods - Darth, Copper, Ben, Loki, Heimdall, and Cass. You're all heroes, there's no other way to put it. You pour hours of your life into this so often thankless job, and your enthusiasm and love for it shine through every time. It's going to be weird to not call you colleagues anymore, but I'm glad I can still continue to call you friends.

And finally, of course, I want to thank the community for making my mod years an incredible learning experience. We've come far in the last nine years. Let's go further."


Please join me in extending sincere thanks to SeraphicStar for the incredible gifts of time, energy, kindness, and high-octane drama-untangling that he gave to us. He was one of the first people to join the RPR's mod team, and he's been with us through some incredible changes, highs and lows in both our lifetime as a site, and his own. He's definitely earned his retirement!

I'm certain that some of you reading this are already wondering who will replace SeraphicStar. The answer is of course: no one, because each mod is unique and cannot be replaced. ;) However, as our site expands, the mod team has been preparing to expand as well, and in light of this we're moving up the date. We'll be looking for some fresh faces to volunteer with us, and applications to join the mod team will reopen this Friday.

Man, my time on RPR began with Seraph, I first heard about the site in a setting of his eight years ago. Wind at your back and all that, safe travels man!

Will Seraphic Star be remaining on RPR just as a normal user or are they leaving the site itself?

Much thanks for your dedication and contributions to the site. They are the legacy you'll leave to the mod team, I'm sure. Always remember that you are one of the people who gave the users of RPR a home to come back to!

Best of wishes to you with your future endeavors henceforth! <3

Thank you for all that you have done. Moderating takes lots of energy, time and heart and it has all been appreciated. You guys work so hard and have done so for so long. 9 years is a long time. I wish you the absolute best in your journeys to come, SeraphicStar. Venture forth well. <3
