Hello all,

It is my sad duty to inform you that I will be stepping down as OVAS Webmaster. 

I am facing an increasing workload and a stint as a kidney donor which is making it difficult to commit the time necessary to the website and to the OVAS Executive in general.  As the website is doing so well, I will happily give the keys to someone to continue it's growth.

Therefore, we are now actively seeking a new OVAS Webmaster.  Unlike some OVAS Exec positions, to serve in this role you require certain skills.  This is an appointed position rather than an elected one.  Experience with forum software, php, web technologies, etc are required.  The selected person will also need good "soft skills" as your input will form the core of how the community is managed.

If you are interested, please PM me and we can talk.  I will forward a list of interested applicants to the OVAS Executive for their review and selection.

Thank you all for everything :)

Sorry to see you go man, but good luck with everything!  It just won't be the same without ya (is the new webmaster gonna be a hot fireman?).   :D
Tanks: salty nano cube, working on a fresh 125

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Excellent work Chris! And hats off to you for the kidney donating! Wow is all I have to say. You'll not be replaced but I imagine the new webmaster will do a great job.

Let me know and I imagine there are others, if there is some help you'll need. You'll have a little recovery time afterwards I'm sure. Not sure if the tank will be up but I can do something if ya need. Even if it just an errand. Like I said I bet there are a few out here... :)

Best of luck, Chris.
All I can say is you are going to be a hard man to replace.

All,

A small announcement...groupie02 has agreed to step up as the new OVAS Webmaster.  He's currently learning the back end of our setup and there will be a transition period as I pass information over to him.  He will take over completely in the near future.

Please join me in welcoming him to his new role, and be kind :)
