So I'm no longer a Moderator - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013 Well I made a decision last night that I've been considering since the summer and I'm not going to be a moderator here any longer. It is very much my decision and I have jumped rather than being pushed. The very abridged version of this is I decided that regarding keeping this forum fresh and improving things for members here that if I wasn't being part of the solution that I was part of the problem and in 6 months barely anything has changed, my views aren't listened to. I'm not part of the main clique of staff and don't want to be either. I hadn't really made my mind up but 2 things happened at the Christmas meet that sealed it for me. Firstly we didn't have a car meet that included everyone, everyone buggered off to go and do something completely un car related that most of us couldn't afford to do and secondly and most importantly when I went to get some parts off a member one of the other moderators very publicly told people that he didn't trust me, told the other member not to trust me and basically accused me of trying to steal the parts with no grounds. I wont work with someone who thinks that of me especially as I consider my honesty and trustworthiness some of my best qualities. I'm still staying here, I'm still gonna build stupid projects and own too many cars and most importantly I still want to see us a one big happy community. RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Fooby - 01-12-2013 Just want to say thanks Chris, you've been with us from the start. I know you have your reasons and that's cool with me please do stay around and thanks for your help over the last 2 years RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - ginge191 - 01-12-2013 Sorry to see this Chris. Good to see you keeping active on here! Hopefully certain particulars can see this isn't a petty battle against each other, but it's impacting a lot more. RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Niall - 01-12-2013 Chris, fair play mate. It's a shame but I fully understand your reasons. Also, can you PM me your current number?

I was expecting to wake up this morning wishing I hadn't but I've got a new found vigor for the estate now and don't have to worry about who I offend. RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Mrs puglove - 01-12-2013 I can completly understand you have your reasons, but shame to see this happen! One reason we didnt go to the xmas meet is due to the reasn's above-nothing planned as a whole and Jamie was fitting stuff at last I can imagine that the amount of money spent would keep adding up and when you have bills to pay you cant do this . Can't wait to see the magic on the state RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Piggy - 01-12-2013 shame dumdum... you the only Mod I trust RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013 (01-12-2013, 12:43 PM)Mrs puglove Wrote: I can completly understand you have your reasons, but shame to see this happen!Sadly actions speak louder than words (01-12-2013, 01:31 PM)Piggy Wrote: shame dumdum...Cheers mate, means alot.

It was too far north for me....... Chris was genuinely helpful to me in the past! I look forward to seeing his next thing!! RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Tom - 01-12-2013 Ahh forum politics! Not sure what to say really. Hope you had fun? Keep doing what your doing? Best of luck in the future? lol :p RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Mattcheese31 - 01-12-2013 don't know what all this shit is about but as far as i'm concerned Chris you're straight as a die, there's a few i don't trust and you're not one of them . . .

It was the idea for nobody to see this coming as I didn't want people to behave differently to change my decision. Only one person knew before about 8pm last night.

I don't envy whoever replaces you as they've got a hell of a lot to live up to, you've always been one of the hardest working staff imo and a great public figure for the club. I sincerely hope this is converted into a positive move and is used to learn important lessons, this club could benefit greatly in the long run. RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - THE_Liam - 01-12-2013 Sorry to lose you bud, but I know you'll stay around and I'm glad of that So I'm no longer a Moderator - devils_fuel - 01-12-2013 Shite the bed !!! That's a shame Chris because despite all the negative banter about how you'll keep a car for etc, you are as honest as the day is long -that's my 2p's worth Feel so man loving coming on...**big burley hug** RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - tim 306td - 01-12-2013 one of the reasons i joined this forum is because of your projects dumdum! you make some good threads and you helped me alot on .net when i had my hdi. i pmd you and you always got back to me with good advice. your a sound guy and glad your still sticking around :-) RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013 (01-12-2013, 03:01 PM)sam Wrote: Real big shame dudeYeah mate, but things need to change.

Hopefully the 2.2 starts moving forward in the new year as I'm working 2 bank holidays over Christmas so will be enough money to buy the final bits i need. If the car fails the MOT badly I might need to re assess that though. RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Grant - 01-12-2013 Sorry to hear this Chris, but as you have said, you have your reasons. You're not the only one to notice what you have, and for it to be led to this is a shame. I know it doesn't need to come from me but thanks for what you have done to make this forum work. I spend enough time on it and without people like you it wouldn't work, and I would have to find other, more productive things to do with my free time. Props to you mate x RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - 4WayDiablo - 01-12-2013 Never saw you as a "member of staff" anyway.... Saw you more of a mate. Hope it wont change much.

Im kidding. Was too much chris loving in here! xx RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - londondan86 - 01-12-2013 I've only met you in person the one time at fcs and we had a good chat and laugh together and you seemed like a good guy. Not sure what has gone down and with who but either way I'm glad your sticking around and not doing something stupid like returning to the dark side!! Lol RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - jammapic - 01-12-2013 I've read the first post, no more. But can I just say... Dum Dum is the nicest, most friendly (and potentially stupid?) person you'll ever meet. Totally harmless, would never rob anyone of anything and I have and hope to continue enjoying a good few beers with him. Whoever it is that's got a problem Dum is not worth the hassle. In my own words "f*ck 'em". JP RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Andy - 01-12-2013 Basically what JP said mate. I see you more as a mate than anything else. It's a shame someone has spoiled it for you. I don't see how someone can see you as an untrustworthy individual because it's obvious that it's not the case. Seeing as you're a copper too haha. Looking forward to seeing you again you rather tall ass mofo! <3 RE: So I'm no longer a Moderator - Dum-Dum - 01-12-2013 (01-12-2013, 05:29 PM)lolsteve Wrote: I haven't trusted you since you gave me that funny tasting drink , leading to a black out and sore rear end ....
