Change of manning at the top
Just a quick note to let all those people out there in forum land know that I have decided to hand in my admin badge and hang up my typing fingures.
It has been a good couple of years but it is time for me to move on and let others do their funky thing.
If anyone has any admin matters in relation to the forum please contact Jim or Andrew ( Vaderaj or BenettonVW )
All current sponsorship deals will run their course and all details have been passed onto the people who need them.
My user ID will stop working in a few minutes so please don't send me u2u's they will never arrive.
Happy posting and keep the rubber side down.
Oh one more thing, Buggies Rock   kiss |

Brad I'm terribly sorry to see you leaving - It seems a little late to persuade you to stay but if you have to go hope you can be back soon.
Your hard work has not gone unnoticed - it appreciated by all (or should be) that use this forum.

It is most definitely a shame to see Brad 'resign', as I don't think many of us have any idea exactly how much effort he puts into this
forum.
I honestly couldn't say that I agree with anybody 100% of the time, but I am confident that Brad and other admins always have had good
intentions, and are dealing with forum problems as best they can. :thumb

MY 2c WORTH
I haven't been here long,and I don't know you personally,but I thankyou for what you have achieved along with the other admin &
moderators ,BUT isn't this a bit overboard totally resigning from the forum and severeing contact with people who don't
know you at all except through the forum,I realise alot of us don't know all the why's and wherefores that made you come to this decision
but please reconsider your membership even if it is just as a non admin/moderator
my 2c worth Mike

Brad,
I'm still in shock. You've left so suddenly, but I suppose that you must have your reasons. We'll all miss your input.
Take care.

Well - thats sad.
Hope I can find some good news before I sign out tonight.
Hmmmmm -
You never really know what you had until it's gone.
If you love something set it free...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush Never really understood that one.
An empty vessel makes the most sound.
Whatever is most applicable I suppose and get us through this loss. Whatever the background I sincerely hope he reconsiders.
Either way - the time together has been great and for that I'm thankful.
Cheers Brad.

I guess the reason was that there are people here that threaten to sue him because they are under the diluded belief that Brad is responsable for
every thing posted on the forum, there are people that whinge at the admin people that they can't post nude pics, they whinge they can't
attach 2MB images of nothing and waste server space and bandwidth, they whinge about the old ezyboard being better, etc etc
I guess he got sick of all the whinging and unaustralian behavior. Maybe if those select few people leave or change their tune he will return.

I cannot speak for Brad, but I think he just wanted a rest for a while. The entire litigation thing was just another brick in the wall, not
necessarily the only reason, although I'm sure it weighed heavily upon his mind.
We are still operating out of Brad's hosting account, and we don't need to do anything in particular until June next year. I'm going to
find a way to use less bandwidth as we'll quickly go through the 12 GB limit we have now unless we do something.
I hope he comes back sooner than later.
Andrew

While I happily admit to being the most vocal about the imposed censorship, that was Andrews doing & I've known that all along.
The fact remains however, this is a forum, a place of discussion, & if I disagree with something that effects the forum, as a member, I have a
right to say so.
Live with it.
I,ve not heard about someone threatening to sue Brad, but then I don't check in as often as I used to, so these things are easy to miss.

Don't worry Spook, we know to ignore what comes out of your mouth anyway :P
You didn't see the litigation stuff because it got moved to a suspended post area. It's all pretty childish really (someone will try to sue
me now).

Maybe you're right, Wes. But it's pretty sad: the internet has no shortage of w&*kers and most forums have stuff like this going on
all the time. Surely the Australian legal system hasn't slid so far into the mire that he could be under threat for a post that existed such a
short time (and was pulled up by a number of other posters before it was removed?) If it is the case, I offer my support and am confident the lawyers
involved will burn in a hell where there are no VWs!!!
