Good morning

Just a quick note to advise that RG has stepped down from his moderation role effective from today.

I'd like to thank him for his efforts during the time he has filled the role and we will advise a replacement as soon as we have been through the selection process.

Regards
Russ

Damn shame, you always knew where you stood with Russell.

Thanks for your time and efforts mate, probably a good time to reflect on the unsung and unrewarded efforts that all the admin and mods put into the forums. As humans we all trip and fall but these guys are here to pick us up and put us back on the tracks time and again.

Not a personal friend of Russell but his presence was definetly notable here in AFF, both as a competent moderator and general mate to those around him.
Good luck and hope to still see you kickin' around here RG.

**PepeLePew** · 12-08-2009, 11:24 AM

I do hope you ARE hanging about RG....

I have a very short list of posters I enjoy reading consistently. Many mods take quite an aloof posture in their neutrality and are unprepared to delve into spirited discussion, but your contributions on both fronts are equally appreciated.

And you're often the first to delve into threads with the lockwood and ive never seen one that didnt deserve it

**FTE217** · 12-08-2009, 12:01 PM

Thanks for the heads up Russell and thanks to RG with his input on the forums, always been on the ball and handled his duty very well.
Hope your still around mate.

Geez Louise · 12-08-2009, 12:38 PM

BIG Thanks RG for your efforts

Always thought you did a STELLA job.

Coogs289 · 12-08-2009, 04:32 PM

Congrats RG for being a great mod as well as his great input into these forums!

Cheers, Anthony

Sure did, and this forum is now the lesser for it.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is a result of some posting activity a couple days ago. Very very ordinary.

Jason[98.EL] · 12-08-2009, 07:24 PM

russ you will be missed as a mod here on aff

i really do hope that you stick around and haveas much input as you have done in the past

Assumptions really are....well assumptions.

Much goes on behind closed doors on forums, the Admin have to make very hard calls at times. One thing i will say in all honesty is they are quite reasonable and fair, major decisions are a democratic process and not the doing of any individual.

wulos · 12-08-2009, 07:30 PM

As mentioned by Russ above. I would also like to add my thanx for his assistance during his time with the admin / moderation team.

Auslandau · 12-08-2009, 07:37 PM

Sorry to see Russ go as a mod as he has helped me settle in around here and has been a big help ..... as I amsure he will continue to be.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it really does mean a lot. Nick is right in saying that there are things that go on behind closed doors and I don't feel it appropriate for anyone but the admin team to make comment on that as they are the only ones that truly know what goes on, if anything. I don't quite understand what you are saying later in your post Nick as the thread is about me stepping down, not a hard call by admin...

I will still pop in from time to time but I dare say that I will not be as active as I once was. I have made many friends in my time here ( and a few enemies lol) and have had some great times. Thank you to all of you who made things so enjoyable and supported me, it really did make a difference.

**DJM83** · 12-08-2009, 08:01 PM

Such a shame Russ i always thought and still do think you are genuine on here mate. Hope you stick around.

Very humble and well said Russ, you will be missed by many.

Strong, intelligent, robust debate is Healthy.

What an odd thing to say, if you want to say something you can mate. I hold nothing against people that have issue with me, if you do that is.

**Burnout** · 12-08-2009, 08:20 PM

A bit sad really.....
Thanks for the efforts RG.
The forum is all the better for your input.

I was trying to clear up a possible missconception, never mind.

Thanks for all the help and time you have given the forum, i hope to catch up with you for the next Warlord vs Mafia round at Heathcote.

A Warlord without a Windsor is like a Clevo Mafioso without a cardigan.
