[Only-Topic] End of Week Update

Hello all members

I'm posting this little topic to inform everyone of a brilliant update that will, I'm sure, revolutionise the forum

To make a short story long, I'll be leaving the staff after some 3 years of service by the end of this week, most probably Thursday 30/07/09

For old time's sake;

Two members join the Forumotion team : Metal Knight and Dojeta

That was me

As you can see, I've been around here for a long long time. I've seen many members come and go. I've seen this forum and ForuMotion grow from a small project to one of the leading companies in free forums
It's been great being here too. I've learnt alot on managing skills and on a personal level. It was interesting to build up projects and keep the team going and working. In my time spent, I've taken on many caps. Starting with the Moderator (mix of Gmod & Smod) helping members in the one support category to working behind the scenes as an Admin. This ofcourse passing by the stage where I was the number 1 advisor to the current Admin
All this hasn't come without a cost though. I cannot stress on how much time and personal effort I have put into this forum. Yet I've seen, and still do, members who disrespect my work here. Members who think they are God's gift to mankind. Members who make you believe they're your friends only to deceive you behind the scenes. Indeed, all was not fun.

I'll admit to my fair share of mistakes to. Some bad decisions, some situations I could/should have handled better. But all in all, I must admit that I think I did a pretty damned good job here.


Anyway, it has come to a point where I feel the need to move on; try on something new for a change. I've personally harassed several staff members to explore the horizons with their knowledge or skills, I think it's time I did the same. I'm not leaving in the sense that I'm abandonning ship. I'm leaving in the sense that my job here is done.
I'll surely be back to visit time to time. Yell on staff, complain to the techies, and side up with the members for a change

Rest assured that I've been working on it so as that my replacement will be done as smoothly as possible. Needless to say, the one replacing me will not be reveal for reasons of Top National Security ofcourse.


I'd like to thank all of you members for having made the journey with me and for having made it worth while
My best regards to ForuMotion, and may the "grand adventure" never cease.

Caihlem

Noo why leaving
You were a great admin when i first registered as Anime
Now you leaving..leaving me without a rank lol jp
Now who's going to be the active Admin ?

Whey !!

Before you go pleases Fix my Warning bar

Never got to talk w/ any of the admins but I always loved your username.

Good luck with life and all.

Hey, Caihlem, You wont be forgotten here, dont forget that, no one can take your place. You will always be Welcome here. You did Forumotion a great duty by being an Admin here, you will forever be missed.

Thanks for everything,
Kinko

Well Caihlem, aka Michael

It seems that Thursay is to be the final end of the 'best of FM' era - Your departure.

Your a great man, with a successful SF career (can it be a career)

With a good precedisor (I am sure my gues is right )
hehe, yes I'm sure

Sorry, but I have to pick ur message apart

and side up with the members for a change

For once, pelase?
I never think u will actually wine like kilsek hahahahaha
lolz, but yea it would be nice to ahve u complaining like a member with the whole "staff" attached to ur name (not saying u wont be able to complain by using ur general staff room - the one for all staff, including previous ones.)


Thanks for being the #1 admin I know (thats damn serious!), and along with the mysterious adventure between today, and first contact has always been fun ( *nods* )
Also, thanks for being the only member (current at time of typing) that has warned me, and yes - Ineed removing that warning as the rule STILL in play today

Thanks for everything - Including all the fun from the Schoolboys & School girls

Caihlem

This best not be the last time we see this

Thanks for everything, just read my PM please


EDIT:

For ol' times sake, im calling up Kilsek, for some fun between u, nessa, and Katt

Everything has to come to an end, and it sucks. Caihlem, you are awesome (even though you are mr. big bossman), but I love you dude!
...and there is only one thing I will remember you mostly by, and that's this smiley:

Spoiler:

I really want you to stay here, but things always change and there's no holding you back. Thanks for services well done, Caihlem!

As said before,you've done a great job here. Keeping the spammers away and protecting the forum. Bossing around your staff,making sure they don't get rusty. That's why the great members of this forum respects you.

You'll be missed much for being the forum's administrator,

Thanks for the update, please do take care, you were greatly appreciated!

HUGS~

So who's gonna be the next admin?

I've said it on MSN enough but you were a great administrator, despite some bad decisions (Sca [That will be enough to see what i'm talking about]) But, hey, like Darren said, it was fun while it lasted, this will make the 4? time you've quit, but unfortunately i know this will be your last. And one more time.
"Don't tell on me" :p. I know I'll still speak to you on MSN and at least this time we will still be on the same team. I wish you the best in your new adventure whatever that may be. I'm looking forward to the last time you remove your crown and put it on ______'s head. I will then ask you to join the chatbox and annoy you, but there will be nothing you can do because you will have also laid down your valued @. Have a free bottle (Yes, bottle not something else beginning with b) of milk.

EDIT: It's not the end of a week update, it's an end of an era update.

All the best,
~ Tilum

Caihlem has been working on ESF for 3 years. I hate to say it but it's time for him to go. His has more important things to do in his life now and he wants change. Haha I'm Caihlem's assistant.

Like to see you side up with members. Should see your true colors come out. Best of luck in what you are doing and will do.

Yeah, I've left "for real" once before, and I skimmed out quickly nad back in once shortly after that
But I can assure you this time is the final end

It's not that I can't stay, it's that I feel the need to move on and try something else somewhere new
As said, I'll still pop in time to time


Darren1: Please don't call in Kilsek
He's part of the pain attached to this forum

Really hate to see you go, but I truely know that feeling of "Time to move on".
Good Luck which what ever you choose to do.

Maybe you can help fix my forum which I can't get on. I click the wrong thingand Poof, can't get on it any more.

This genuinally is a real shame.. and it's such a massive blow to this forum. Your presense will be so very missed Caihlem and I know that for sure.. I think we're all really proud of what you've done over all these years.
You are the biggest FM legend this forum has ever seen.. I'm just sad to see you go.

Good luck for everything you do Caihlem..

Caihlem 3 years is a long time...but everything has its ups and downs. At least you'll still be here

Oh shut up That's such a tactless thing to say in this topic!

Though i never got to speak with you, you still were one of the best staff on the SF. Youll be very missed man. I wish you luck with your life off staff, and irl

See ya around Caihlem.

:o. Good bye, Caihlem.

It's sad to see you go All things come to an end I guess, though.

Good luck with your life, and you will always be welcome here whenever you come on.

No disrespect to the other Admins, but you was one of the best Admins I have ever seen

Good luck!

Believe it or not bad, you Will indeed be missed here!

Kilsek

Damn right who the hell gave you permission to leave? Not I now march your but *forgot how to say in french* back here and control these hooligans.


*now to go out in a blaze of Glory (Typlo will delete this account too) in true Kilsek fashion)*

Granted I went out raw and disrespected folks that I did not mean to and I still am sorry and will carry it to my death bed.

We have share some talks either pm or MSN and I know the crap you went through. So leaving on that account makes you look soft Mr. Jello man! I am sure you will be here and have access to the secret forums that normal members cannot see. And raze hell as only you can.

Give them hell!

I know the new people here dont give a crap, but the vets do! Sure you went overboard a time or two (hundred) but that is what happens to a admin. As a vet of this site I know I will miss the moving and shaking you did as admin.

So you idea of leaving is not granted, I the "thorn" do not grant it!

Get back to work you lazy SOB (meant friendly)!!!

Bye Caihlem. You were a freaking awesome Admin.

Just wanted to add, i like your way of dealing with Spammers

*Goes and cries*

You know it was my dream to be a mod and to see me on the staff list. Also it saying "Trevor has joined _______" from you. I still have some of our good chats in my PM box. But I guess am mans got to do what a mans got to do.

Good Luck Caihlem! Thanks for the help you've given me in the past . . .

Wow..

Goodbye and good luck Caihlem, all the best for your future..

And, while i'm thinking of it, why does Tilum have the 'Milk Man' Rank? *Confused*

As I have said to you already in our MSN discussion about this, I am proud of you for seeing what's best for you and knowing when a change is needed in your life.

There are many roads and paths that we take in our life, some that we never thought we would take, but as we age and mature our likes/dislikes will change, sometimes even dramatically. It takes courage and maturity to know when you must follow that path of the unknown and create new adventures in your life.

I have been and always will be very proud of you Caihlem. As I stated before, you have been one of the best Admins I have ever worked with!

This is going to be one hell of a ride for us when you leave. I could never see this day come till now. I did wish today didn't come but it did You were always there for everyone and would always have a few laugh/funny post. I will always remember that I would always see what you posted each day cause you were always giving me a happy monment. I do wish you would stay a little longer but your time has come to end and to move on. Like Skittles said about picking a path to go.

Best of luck of what ever you do. Hit me a message when you want to chat


Thanks Caihlem
