Sorry to say this, Austin...

Sorry to say this, Austin...

Postby gtkane [OP] » January 30th 2009, 5:14am

I have enjoyed this site for about a year now. I have had some good chats and made some good friends in that time.
But, as of late, I find it difficult to find the time to check in and post as often as I should. Family has a priority over that.
As such, I must resign my position as moderator.
I wish you, Austin, good luck with your site.
And many happy miles of motoring to all other members!
I'll still try to check in every once in a while!

Thanks to all!

I know the feeling getting pulled in 4 different directions at the same time. Life is full of changes.
You were a great help gtkane, you will be missed. Drop by when you can. :)

Graham,
How dare you put your immediate family before your AstroSafari family! :shock:

Don't worry about it man. I commend you for your efforts and I think I speak for all of us when I say you've been a great help around here and we thank you.

I'll remove the Moderator status that we've entrusted you with and seek out a new member with greater availability to perform moderation duties.

Stop by anytime, we'll always be around.

:ty: gtkane. Forums need people like you. I had noticed you and a few others have not been on as often as before.
But then again, I can understand since I do the same. In my case, it's work that gets in the way!!
Thanks to all the past and present moderators...you guys :rockon: .
