I'm sitting here at my computer, pinching myself to be sure I'm not dreaming this.....'cause being able to be involved with this site on an owner's level has been a dream of mine for some time now. I'm excited beyond words to be in this position! There is not another aquatic/herp board out that that can hold a candle to this place, we have come SO far, and it is all due to the quality people that make up the site. Not just the staff, which I can't say enough good things about, but all the members who come here and contribute with their knowledge, experience, and bring us their questions and keep the board going. To that end, I have worked in the positions of administrator and manager with the needs and wants of the membership being my first priority. Rest assured that I will take that mindset with me to my next assignment here....I am working for YOU folks, to make A-T the best that it can be for all of us.
Apoc....my li'l brother. I'm wishing you all the best for you and your family. You know I wish I was moving into this role under different circumstances. While I have dreamed of taking this step for a long time now, I always imagined it where I would be an owner "with" you, not "instead of" you. You are the rock that this place was built on, and that is why it is as strong as it is today. Thanks for all your effort and dedication that you have put into this place. Still gonna need you to be around so's I can pick your brain from time to time....just because you are in the "Founder" group now does not get you out of Consigliere status!
Looking forward to working with Chris and Justin on a different level, I believe we all share a common vision of where we want to take A-T as it naturally grows bigger and bigger. A-T being the unique site that it is, we want to see it grow, while at the same time keeping the intimate "family" feel that sets it apart from the rest.
And.....speaking of "unique"........
