That would be Russellw mate, But there are also a couple of other contributors that keep this place going also. Spoolman being one of them.

Definitely one of the better automotive forums around.

All I know is he seems to have the final say on most matters, and you can buy the fancy AFF stickers from him that now endow my car

this is the order of command here at aff

Russellw – Chairman of Directors (Finance & Strategy)

wulos - Promotions Director

Spoolman - Events & Sponsorship Director

and then you have cs123 as the tech guru

Does Russ make general posts? Yes he does. He also provides us with all the information in the technical area and he will pull out the naughty/smacking stick when it is required.

The amount of work he puts in is amazing. Russ is a very busy man! Without him and the other mods/admin, this great place would not exist.

To elaborate:

RussellW is both man and legend
He is of this world yet inter-dimensional
He is present even in his absence
He is both partial and impartial
With liberal right-foot he smites even the toughest adversaries
Legend has it he created AFF to restore balance and order in the world, which spontaneously sprang to life after RussellW gave unto Cs123 a carton, some duct tape and a commodore 64.
Even the scriptures talk of his greatness, Revelation 22:13 - I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

I hope this sheds some light for you

Thanks for the amusing (and kind) comments.

Like all such things, keeping this forum operational is far from being the efforts of one individual and as well as myself there are two other excellent admins (wulos & Spoolman) and a tech guru (cs123) that help to keep things running and maintain the direction of the forum and there have been others who have filled those roles in the past as well.

On top of that, there are 4 Super Moderators and 27 Moderators who all work tirelessly to ensure that this is a pleasant place to spend time without fear of favour and without that effort we would never keep up.

There are others who have contributed time and effort - whether it is writing tutorials, technical documents, adding their resources to those of the forum or just contributing by what they write and when all is said and done it is each and every active member here who contributes the most to this community.

.. and yes, as the post count shows, I do post (albeit not as much as I'd like)!

Cheers
Russ

Sometimes I think being a Mod is like being in the SAS. Hiding becomes second nature!

What happened to Laminge ? I see Gary hasn't posted for over 9 months and is no longer a mod/admin. Is he OK?

I posted a thread titled "what happened to LAMINGE?" also a few months ago . only to have it locked immediately . i then tried some pms to a few people only to have no reply . whatever happened to him . most of us dont know . and it seems the current admin . dont want to tell us . not having a crack but there wasnt even an announcement that he is no longer part of the forum team . so we dont know if he is or not .
