fair play mate. even with all the bitching etc you have dealt with you should still be able to look at what you have created and be very, very proud.
And I should think you should have gold for life!

so instead of writing pages of stu style multi-quote replies a simple single quote with "fuck off then" underneath will now do. bang on

yep cheers stu!

i've been a mod and admin on a few sites in the past, i was an admin on a pay-site with only a few hundred members and the amount of grief they give was ridiculous so i dread to think how much grief you had being a PF admin!

not a job to be envied lol

Thanks ever so much for your kind words people, some have genuinely brought a tear to my eye. This place is a great community and i didnt realise, until i read this topic, that quite a lot of its success is down to me since i did my best to bring you all together and get some meets etc going in the early days. Shame i pissed so many off in the later days. Doh. Oh well, you win some, you lose some more...

I will be here probably more now than i ever was, the only thing that has changed is it wont (Shouldnt) be stressfull anymore and i might get some enjoyment back.

There's always good times and bad times, and no matter how much bitching or name calling went on im sure peope respect you for what you did for the site

i haven't been here long, but as i said, your name was always about and i for one would probably pm you 1st if i had any problems on the site

just look at the site, and remember it wouldnt have been what it is without you,

you've done your bit, if it goes to rack and ruin with the recent events just think "oh god thank christ im not part of it anymore" but then again i dont agree with the fact its been sold from under your feet with all the hard work you put in, regardless of if you've stepped down or not,

it would of been nice im sure to be informed,

anyway, family and your own life comes first, god luck stu

I've never had the pleasure of meeting you Stu, but it's clear from the replies on here that you're a truely great bloke.

Maybe if I ever buy myself a cossie I'll make the journey oop North for your advise!

All the best, both in your business and your family.

These places suck time away Stu. Lifes a balance mate eh?

I recently posted a thanks for all the help on here (as you may recall). If it were not for folks like you, this place wouldn't exist and my car certainly wouldn't have been ready for the rs500 laps at Ford Fair.

A big big thanks from Welsh Wales
