Sir Dillion has been sent off to the front lines

[Siegfried]

Our History Moderator been deployed elsewhere so he can no longer fight for the EB cause. He can't give much details, but I've heard it could be his original posting; Claw Castle.

In any case he's back in the Fellow rank and we shouldn't expect him around as much. He has promised to send a carrier pigeon from time to time though.

His help, advice and company will be much missed by all the staff, and we'll be keeping a spot for him on the EB Staff Table should he ever wish to return. Aside from his staff work, his castle design work, such as Rewnsill Outpost was highly regarded and I hope he finds the time to continue his great works in the future.

I hope all goes well for you Sir Dillon.

Good luck with what ever you're doing Sir Dillon! It's been nice with you here.

[Professor Flitwick]

Sorry to see you go, Sir Dillon. Hope you succeed in whatever your planning on doing.

Also, should he be an Honorary Member, like Vader and Hobbes were when they left the force?

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

GL luck to you! So we need a new history mod now, right? And shouldn't he be an Honorary Citizen?

[RileyC]

Its definitely sad to see you ship off, you are truly a great and respected member of EuroBricks. Your MOCing skills are superb and I really do hope you are able to come back as soon as possible and show off you wonderful pieces.

Just wondering, would the rank of Honorary Citizen be more fitting seeing as how he's doing a great service to his country and hes been a great moderator?

Preferably not! The "Honorary Member" group hasn't been used for a while, and it will probably end up being removed. Phred and SlyOwl for example were reverted to Fellows. To be honest, I've never liked the "Honorary" group concept. It's a rank with no privileges; a tag would make more sense. It has a kind of "gold-watch" and "out-to-pasture" mentality to it that seems condescending to me.

In some cases though it has been appropriate; for example Jinzo was never actually a Fellow, and that's why he didn't "revert" there. I recall that's was why he was the only recent case to use that rank.

[Big Cam]

Sir Dillon, you're work as a staff member has been very welcoming from my point of view.. always courtious and with MOC's that inspire, you will be missed. Please be safe and come back to us.

Then make them all Fellows and give them gold watch tags

It's an option!

[JimBee]

Sorry to hear this, you will be missed around the boards.

Well good luck with whatever it is that you are now occupied with.

[Rick]

Thanks for your service to EB, Sir Dillon. Good luck with whatever you have planned.

That's also how I see the rank. Most of the people aren't really active anymore on EB. Fellow would definitely be more appropriate if they choose to remain active. That way they could unleash the mighty powers of the Fellowship on EB every once in a while.

[Shadows]

Who?

OH! Dickie!

Thanks for all you've done, now get out there and take care of those pesky 'real-life' things that you kids are all interested in, then get back here before we forget you.

[I Scream Clone]

It has been great to watch you progress from Regulator to Moderator in the History forum, you have always offered a cool head and an opinion on my MOC's that always makes me think, as well as try out new ideas. Good luck with real life stuff, and thanks also for all your help with the EBCCB.

[WhiteFang]

Sir Dillon, you have been a great asset to our Eurobricks Staff and for your past contributions, we will always remembered them. Thanks for what you have done for Eurobricks for the past years. Good luck and I hope to see you around, one day.

[Bonaparte]

I hope you'll still have time to stop by once in a while and enjoy some good old Eurobricks fun.

All the best Sir Dillon, it's been an honor to work with you as part of the staff!

[Sir Dillon]

Oh wow, it's been awhile since I've seen Claw Castle . Thanks Siegfried.

Thanks to everyone for the comments and well wishes. As mentioned, I'm not gone completely, but my activity will not be very high for a while.

See you all around the boards!

If we wait long enough, there will probably be a new mould in a Collectable Minifig series

In Series 19, there will be a retiree with some golf clubs and a gold watch

Good luck with the future Sir Dillion, we're really going to miss you! You've been an awesome HIstory Moderator, thanks for keeping my favourite theme forum in line.
