Popular Post UK SUBS Posted October 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi all,After much thought and consideration I've decided to step down as admin and move into supporters with immediate effect. This is not something I've reacted to but it's been in the melting process since Chris stepped down; just distractions since then has meant trying to put an infrastructure in place to cover all angles. This has now been successfully achieved. As previously stated, the forum won't be sold for the foreseeable future and I remain in full ownership.With immediate effect; any and all forum related questions are to be run past a mygnr admin and not myself -- they are in complete control of the forum and will be making ALL decisions forum related from here on in. I have so many things going on in real time that I just don't have the time to respond. I am and remain so however, as passionate as ever about the forum, which is the main reason for stepping aside. The team have some fantastic ideas for development and I honestly believe I've (unintentionally) hindered their progress by being too hands on and involved, this is now their chance to shine which without being directly rude to me, is clearly an opportunity they relish!I've been contacted by so many fantastic and supportive people over the last few months who clearly are passionate about the forum. I hope I responded to you all but if not let me say here a warm thank you for your support, it never goes un-noticed. Particularly recently.I hope to be able to enjoy the forum (and possibly a few other forums) in the not too distant future as I want at some stage to have the free time to post and enjoy debates like a 'normal' poster. Here's hoping. However until at least the New Year, I'm out. Family comes first and I'm blessed to have such an amazing one they all deserve more time from me.Finally thank you to the entire team for their support both upfront and behind the scenes -- I can't praise them enough. They know what I mean I aim to view the forum no more than once a week max -- I will respond to any PM's though but please keep them non forum related and contact an admin for those details.Keep it going guys we're the number 1 community for a reason!Don't kill each otherSincerelySubsy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nulla Lex Ink. Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Well, shoot. It sucks that you're stepping away, but at the same time, it's great because I'm sure that reduces your stress level a huge ton. Hope you enjoy all the additional time man, good luck with any future endeavors as well But uhh... Not killing each other may pose an issue for some. Edited October 30, 2014 by Nulla Lex Ink.

ZoSoRose Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) WTFNO SUBS NO!!!!Seriously though, thank you so much for everything Subsy. I have loved you dictatorsh- I mean your ideas since you took the reigns in 2011 and you have always been awesome to me. I really appreciate everything you, Chris, the mod team, and everyone else has done and contributed on here. My friends think I am crazy for loving this place, but it means a lot to me. It has nothing to do with GNR, I just really like our community and you have been a big part of that. I really hope you stick around and thank you for stepping up these past few years! I am sad I have only contributed $5 to your New York vacation fund, but I hope my future contributions will allow Forsaken and ER to buy lots of fun things like drugs and booze!Anyways, you kick ass Subsical#LONGLIVEOURDEMENTEDADMIN Edited October 30, 2014 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 My dear friend Subs. You will always have my full support. Looking forward to when we can debate about Axl and Slash again, and not having to worry about getting banned. :hugs: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Estranged Reality Posted October 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2014 I stuck by UKSUBS when Eric tried to fuck him over years ago (sorry, but that's just how it was); it was at the risk of my mod position, which I was quickly and unceremoniously dumped from by Eric without as much as a heads up or thank you. That was fine with me because at that point I had no interest in "working" for someone who would behave in such a manner, and to be frank, I pretty much stopped posting here for a while after that.Later, when Subs took over the forum, he immediately approached me about a moderator position, and even though my interest in GN'R wasn't at its peak at the time, I still had a great fondness for the forum due to my history here, and I was really touched by the gesture since he had remembered my loyalty. That's the kind of guy he is -- and he may be first to admit that it can be a weakness at times as it exposes him to people who like to prey on that kind of vulnerability, but at the end of the day he's a very loyal dude and that's rare these days. UK SUBS' exit song (he's probably going to absolutely hate this song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W11UxtgWBOs 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Partner in crime. Thankyou for everything you did for the community Subs - regardless of any mistakes you think you made along the way, I (and everyone else) know that your heart was in the right place.This place would have died a long time ago without Subsy... So thankyou for keeping this place alive, and all the best to ER, Forsaken and the team - I know the place is in excellent hands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
