Title: Bye for now...
Post by: Creech on February 18, 2011, 11:42:43 AM
Hi folks, the time has come for me to hang up my keyboard and leave the running of the site to Nick and Nino. It's been a fun ride with a lot of laughs (and hiccups) along the way.

Thanks to all our members who have made this site such a great one. I'm sure it will continue to be so and prosper in the safe hands of Nick and Nino.

So if you have any problems, don't come to me about them  %.%

I will continue to lurk around as I'm still interested in how this forum evolves. Good luck to all and remember, pinball is meant to be fun!

Cheers

Creech

Absolutely no doubt that AP would not have existed without Tony's dedication, enthusiasm and technical expertise. Most of what we see today, is a direct result of his hard work. He leaves us on his own terms and in a very good position to see the forum continue to prosper.

Nick and I will have to fill some big shoes, but we look forward to the challenge.

Can not thank Tony enough, as Daniel has already stated, for setting up "the best pinball forum on the planet".

I was sad that Tony wanted to hand over the reigns, but can only thank him for the forum he created for our enjoyment.

Nino and I have modified Tony's position to Forum Founder in appreciation of his early work.

Tony, I hope you stick your head in from time to time!!   <..>

Thanks so much for your dedication and hard work that got the forum off the ground and allowed it to become the great resource and social networking site that it is.

All the best in whatever you pursue next!
