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.
