Johnh stepping down as owner and an admin of the forum
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2010 9:13 pm
Due to the ill health of a close family member (who is now recovering) as well as various other family and personal commitments, I feel that I no-longer have the time that I feel is necessary for the successful management of the forum. I have therefore taken the decision to step down as owner and an administrator of the forum.
I always maintained that should this day ever come I would hand the forum over to someone else rather than close it down. I am very happy to say that Ellen (ERinVA) has agreed to take over ownership of the forum. The process of transferring the ownership to Ellen has been started and should hopefully be completed in the next week or two. The first obvious sign of this is that Ellen is now an administrator, as some of you have already noticed!
I am not leaving the forum completely and will still be around from time to time. I am also staying on as part of the Site Staff team as a technical advisor.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Site Staff for their continued hard work and commitment to the forum; I would especially like to thank Nikkie (nikkie-nikkie) and Ruth (jabka) for the enormous support they gave me, both in the planning and setting up of the forum and during several tough times along the way.
Lastly, but by no means least, I would like to thank all of you, the members. Without you and your continued support we wouldn't have the fantastic forum that we have.
All the best,
John
