Hey! Everyone I Love You!!!!

[rgcraig]

I started lurking on FCF back in 2004......and at one point starting posting occasionally. I made connections with former JCMer's and made new friends. The forum came at a time when my life was changing - I was going through a divorce and lost my mother - FCF filled in some blank spots.

Then, FCF closed down and NFCF was formed. St. Matthew asked if I would be interested in admining and I was honored. I had a purpose, something to do with my free time and I enjoyed feeling like I was making a difference - - offering a balance. Then suddenly NFCF was unexpectedly shut down.

Boom and I worked together, entertained a few offers and then AFF was formed. It was important to us to make sure we had several owners so a shut down by one person wouldn't happen to AFF. This worked for a while, then the four other owners let me know they were leaving and it was mine to do with as I wanted. I knew AFF needed to stay around, so quickly I reached out to four others to support AFF as owners. That was over two years ago. The owners were, Prax, The Mrs., Tina, MOW and myself. A few months ago Tina resigned and was replaced by Hoovie.

I have felt for several months that it was time for me to give up my ownership of AFF. I've waited for the right time and realized there's never going to be a right time, so a few weeks ago, I announced to the four other owners that I was going to resign as owner and head admin. I didn't want to just leave and make them feel that I was dumping it in their laps, so we've been in discussion during this transitional time.

I'll be around in that capacity for a couple more days, but by Friday I've asked Prax to remove my Admin rights and I'll just be a regular poster.

There's no agenda, no reason - it's just time. Six years is a long time and I feel this is what I'm suppose to do.

I feel honored to have served in this role for as long as I have. I've met so many of you and made new friends that mean a lot to me.

So, hey, everyone I love you!!!!!
