Hi Guys

 

I think its best to do this publicly and I'm informing you all of you before I tell the committee.

 

Today with pretty much immediate effect I've decided to step down from the committee. This isn't the usual post where I blame work commitments and lack of time, whereas they are of concern I have in the past been able to work into the late hours on the club because I have had a belief that it would be worth it.

 

Throughout all the controversy over the years and the shady things I have been blamed of I can honestly say that anything I have done in the past has been because I truly think it has benefited the club, I have not gained financially out of the club in any manner except for maybe a few discounts which I have never asked for.

 

My company still holds the 300zx collocated server and we will honor that contract, please remember my company was only paid at the insistence of other committee members, I was extremely happy to continue hosting the server for free and thats why the club hasn't seen any charges for overages in transit usage.

 

I've had some really good times, and met some really good members, I've been here since I was 19 and always have been the youngest committee members, I'm catching up fast to 26 now so this has been a large chunk of my adult life and one I will actually miss from time to time.

 

 

 

 

If any of you guys want to step up to the place and take on my role please do, I'll handover the current setup. You will however need some experience in the following:

 

PHP

Linux

Apache

Sendmail

Perl

Vbulletin

MySQL

 

 

not an extremely high level, but having worked with those to a moderate level will be beneficial. It's not a role to jump into, it takes a lot to keep this place going and your main commitments will be to the system and not to the process of the club.

 

 

Anyway, I'll be sticking around and probably pop around to a few local meets, so good luck and thanks for all the fish.

This place is a credit to your hard work, bloody well done and i hope everything you do is as succesfull :bow: :bow:

All the best for the future Mike and thanks for all the hard work over the past seven years :bow: :bow:

Hi Mike,

 

Sorry to hear you are stepping down after all the good work you have done. I would be interested in talking to you about looking after the systems. Please can you tell me how I need to proceed?

 

Cheers,

It was you I wanted to speak to first, to find out a bit more about the system and how much time you devote to its upkeep..

 

I'm sure you spend far more time than people realise!

Really sorry to hear this buddy, i know what it's like having to help run one of these forums and it's not easy.
