Hey, guys.

I'm very sorry to announce that I'll be leaving the board shortly. First of all, I'd like to make it clear that my decision has nothing to do with anyone on the board- it's for purely personal reasons which I shall allude to later. All of the members here, whether I've spoken to you directly or not, are really lovely, and the mods do a fantastic job- I give my highest praise to MSC and Fringified, along with any others that come along in the future! And, of course, the wonderful D-Roc who gave me the opportunity to become a mod and set up this fantastic site- I'm very grateful to him!
Basically, guys, I don't have enough time on my hands anymore to help run a site like this. I don't want to let anyone down by not being here enough, and I'm sure whoever takes over from me will do a fantastic job! And don't worry, the contests I have ran in the past, such as the Graphic ones and the Writing ones, will be passed on to the other mods, who have very kindly agreed to take over, and who I know will do a fantastic job with them!
I explained all this to the mods a week or so ago, but I thought now would be right to tell everyone. I've spent a year on the board, and been a mod for about half that time, and it's been brilliant. I want to thank you all for being so nice and so passionate about such a great television show!
I won't hand out personal goodbyes here, because there would be far too many! But I'll pop into some threads and maybe shoot a few of you PMs! But basically, Benchwarmers- remember I'll always be rooting for you! My friends from the football threads- don't forget that my nerves will be shot every week before the United games! Mods- it's been a pleasure working with you all! Everyone- thank you for making my time here so enjoyable. And don't worry- I'll be remaining a loyal Fringe watcher!

I'll be around for another week or so. Thanks again, guys. It's been a pleasure. :tiphat:

Take care, Foxxy (I've wanted to call you that for a while, since your av is of the amazingly gorgeous Cristiano Ronaldo ... at least, I think?). I really enjoyed seeing you around, but I know the drill with life throwing too much at you. Best of luck!

Once again, goodbye Arctic Fox. I'm sad that you have to leave, but that will make your spontaneous visits to FF so cherishable! I wish you the best of luck with your personal life, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the second season! Also, I won't let you down with those Writing Challenges! ;)

Arctic, I'm shocked. What will become of the football threads? I can't compete with gb on my own. :D

Well, it's been short but sweet and I wish you all the best for the road ahead. And don't forget, there's a Catweazle waiting for you out there somewhere. :wink3:

I just want to say a big THANKYOU, Arctic Fox, for everything you have done to help FF.

Your contributions, both as a poster and as a moderator have been immense. Your artwork, incredible (I'm sure you would have won many a SOTW had you not been a moderator), your moderation fair and on-point, your ideas always of great value, your choice of football team..well, that could be better, but I'll let you off! :P

I hope everything works out for you. The gate is always open for you to return, or stop by (even if your circumstances limit you to posting as a member, it's all good).

Thanks again for helping us come this far, it's been a pleasure working alongside ya. Your contributions wont be forgotten, neither will the great AF!
