Off Topix: Embrace the Unexpected in Every Discussion
Off Topix is a well established general discussion forum that originally opened to the public way back in 2009! We provide a laid back atmosphere and our members are down to earth. We have a ton of content and fresh stuff is constantly being added. We cover all sorts of topics, so there's bound to be something inside to pique your interest. We welcome anyone and everyone to register & become a member of our awesome community.
Heck, there was a small period in time when I was close to giving up on Discussion Hub. I don't know about moderators but having been an administrator and owner of a few forums, I think we all go through a period where we fall out of love with our sites. It's important to slowly step back just for a few days to see whether it's something that might be permanent or just you being temporarily bored
It was a very long time ago near the start so you guys don't have to worry about it from now on. But yeah, sometimes the start of a forum can be difficult especially when you don't have many active and awesome users as we have right now 
I've stepped down when real life has gotten too busy. Then I was asked back a year or two later and returned because I had more time.
On some forums it's easy to get burnt out if there are a lot of reports to work and that's all that upper staff cares about.

I feel you, people are lazy these days and care about a shit tok more then forums lol.
Yes, it's happened far more than I would have liked - but personal issues always take priority, and if I'm running a community of my own that comes next. Unfortunately I also have a habit of giving up on being a webmaster.
Sometimes this comes with some kind of lack of motivation because of results, i think this forum has been doing quite good considering current times where you have much popular options, quality over quantity sometimes
What can I say, I'm a changed man now
. But, yeah, with previous projects, I've sometimes given up too early and regretted it afterwards so I've definitely learnt my lesson. I'm glad I did stick with it though because I'm loving DH at the moment and it's been my best online project so far.Definitely took me a while to overcome that habit. When I first got into the world of webmasters, I was definitely starting and ending projects way too quickly.
I have and will if the community is falling from the direction I though it was in when I joined the team.
Nowadays, I limit where I staff. I'm staff on one forum outside of my own. I think I am open to becoming staff on one more forum but I'd like it to be small. I just don't know which one yet.
I am an active contributor to forums but if I realize I am the only staff member who is the only active member as well, I lose interest.
I've been running forums for 25-years now. If a staff member isn't an active member, too, then you have a failed team.

Yes, many years ago I step away in early 2014 or late 2013. The site was called "Major-Gaming" and the long story I had enough that I had to leave the site as I was sick and tired of the person that was running it. He was a dosh-bag. Soon after I left the site was closed down anyway.

No money coming in then means you can't pay.
I like Discussion Hub & you've built a great place here @Ash
As for stepping down, I have several times. Real life gets in there & you get burnt-out. Or you may not click with the owner or rest of Staff. I've been on Staff before as a mod & the owner was nowhere around & there was spam everywhere. Us mods couldn't keep up as we didn't have the permissions to PREVENT it. I had to leave.

I've stepped down from staff positions numerous times, due to time.
There have been various different reasons I've stepped down from staff. Normally, when I step down, it's due to not being able to have enough time to continue to commit to that position anymore.
