Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I've decided to resign as an Admin/moderator on this site, it's just not worth the hassles, Mick now has my resignation and I asked him to remove my status as Admin. I don't contribute a great deal to the site, and haven't for a couple of years. I'm not back tracking from my decision, my mind is made up and my decision is final.

LizzieM 9,530 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Really sorry to read this Ayup but I’m not at all surprised by your decision. The troublemakers on this forum have a lot to answer for. Thank you for your endeavours to keep control of things and hope you will continue to look in ...... if, indeed, Nottstalgia exists for much longer. A very sad situation. 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I can't really see why this thread is here. If someone wants to leave a position of authority on a forum it is of little concern to the rank and file membership, only to the boss. No need for big announcements in a new thread. This is made even more relevant by the statement: Quote I don't contribute a great deal to the site, and haven't for a couple of years. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,279 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 John announced it..........and we wished him all the best and thanks.........nice i thought ,,,,,i take it you won't be applying for the role Jonab ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Because it's a sad day for the site, when a well respected member of staff is ridiculed and then hounded out solely because he has the guts to stand up to a few argumentative and childish individuals who are intent on boring the majority of members senseless, thereby they give up posting, and then they can have the site to themselves. This is now currently happening ! 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Benjamin, I am already a moderator on two other forums and I don't think I would be able (or want) to cope with the politics et cetera that is present here. I have been an admin on another forum which did tend to veer towards being unnecessarily political. I told the leader and just stopped participating. That's all that I thought was required. I'm still a member of that forum and I follow its progress on a sort of monthly basis with a very occasional contribution. There is no loss on either side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,240 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Well said Fly. We have the situation where the site has become virtually monopolised and the regular members have become brassed off with it. It would seem that this problem is not being addressed by whoever is running the show. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
