I am stepping down my position as admin effective tonight, this is something that has been in my mind for a little while. I simply don't have the time to dedicate any more to do the job the way I would want to. I think that in my tenure I have always tried to do what is best for the community as a whole, and I am so limited on my time that I can't do that. I have always believed that if you can not give 100% then there is no reason to do it, and that is what happened. I want to say thank you to all of you who have made this past two years a lot of fun for me.
Mandard is going to replace me as admin, and I am sure you all are as confident as I am that he is the absolute best man for the job.
I would really like to thank JA for all his help over the past two years, and for his confidence in me during that time. He has backed me on some of my decisions even if he was not 100% sure that I was right, that is the sign of a true leader and for that I will always respect him.
I will still be around, though not nearly as much.
Thank you all, I will always cherish my time with you.

Oh, I hate to see you leave your position of Admin but I am sure that it is for reasons beyond your control. I understand your situation and I hope to see you around here a lot still. I am sure Mandard will make a great Admin but no one will ever be a Darth Palpatine. Nothing against Mandard, but I think everyone knows what I mean by this.

Good luck with whatever happens in your life, DP.
Although I'm sure this is some sick, twisted grab for power by Mandard. Which is something I will always fully back, unless the person making the sick, twisted grab for power is out to get me.

And THANK YOU Chris, for the last 2 years you've spent as administrator. I couldn't have managed all this without your help.

Yeah, but you will get used to it. It just takes time.

Oh and Mandard... good luck to you with administrating. Having just finished up an exhausting three-month tenure at another site that just closed, I hope you fare better than I did.
The view from the top is a bit different than you think it is, until you get there.

Chris, hope you come back some day, maybe as administrator again.
Mandard, I'll have to break ya in between now and next Thursday.
