As you can see by the title of this thread, I have decided to resign as WFF Admin. I will be honest about everything within this posting. I will explain a few things, and follow up with my replacement.
I returned to WFF for all the wrong reasons. I left on really good terms with Jer. After getting some annoying emails, and harassing instant messages, i got a little ticked off. This esculated into bashing on WFF and other forums from what I heard. I only returned to seek revenge on Chris, Sean and countless others that bashed me. I can honestly say I never touched Chris, which proves that I have moved on from our previous fights and problems.
I can say I'm alot happier away from forums. I use to love this, i use to enjoy the atmosphere of meeting new members, chatting amungst ourself and just have fun in general. At times, we have that but not very much so. A few nights ago we had an amazing topic about homosexuality and such, and quite a few of us discussed it like adults. Its times like those that I missed while away. I however will not and havent missed the fighting. Its fighting and bashing that will ulitmately kill this place. Keep it real.
MY personal life was bad when I left. I cleaned it up, then finding out that I was being gutted like a pig. So i returned for the purpose of saving my "name." Now realizing that this means nothing, I really shouldnt of came back, even for that. I can say that my personal life is the best it's been, i'm alot happier and I just rather enjoy life and be with friends that truely make this life worth living, rather then sit behind a keyboard day and night constantly like I did for years. I've gotton to see and learn more then I ever imagined with friends, and I tend to widen my horizen with them.
Coming back was also one of the better things I did however. Yes, i returned for all the wrong reasons but coming back, restoring some order, and bringing back Key Members truely helped this place. I returned to do what I said i would do, and that was to help this place. I promised Jer id bring back some of the older, loyal members and i have done that.
I've met alot of amazing people throughout this crazy journey. I've met many interesting people, from crazy, to amazing to just weird. I have made some of the best friends here like none other. I honestly couldn't imagine life without Trey, Anthony(lk), SteveO(hr), Brady(BV), Trent(big t) and countless others. You guys made this place amazing, you guys changed my life, and for the better in a time that I needed it. You guys are like bestfriends to me, i love you guys alot.
Alot of older members have come and gone. This forum has had its ups, its downs, its good times and its bad times, but I wouldnt trade it for the world. We had some great times here, and without you members, it wouldnt of been possible. I now will be joining the ranks with Trey, Big T, and Blykus. We all in my honest opinion made a impact at WFF. We were some of the greatest members here. We were the originals.
Even with my resignation, I will still be around, but not just in a manner that I was in the past. I havent given you all 110% like i always did, and me slacking off and not having the time, its just not right, and i always made a promise to myself that if i couldnt commit fully, I would resign, which im doing tonight. Its not fair to the members, or the WFF staff team.
Advice to WFF tho, before I announce my replacement. You all are a great community, with lots of potential. Our past shows that its possible if you put your mind to it. I would mainly urge you all to protect and cherish the members you got, as key players and loyal members like Trickster, Mattsta who never left or never fought. Members like that are WFF. Keep them close, as they are the heart, without them, this place is gone. THEY ARE LOYALITY.
Now, with that all said and done. I will name my replacement. I feel this individual has been overlooked many, many times. I believe this member deserves this position more then anyone else here. This member has heart, and he truely deserves this. He never left WFF when most of us did, he stayed and continued to work, even when all hope was lost.
I have taken risk with members, and they all paid off. I have given some members the chance to be staff'ers, and they have blown many of us away. I have given members like BV, Big T, LK, Hr and Swagger the chance to admin. IMO, they were some of the best admins we've had at various points throughout WFF's lifespan. I tho, will say Swagger is one of the best, and is in a league of his own. Now, i'm passing the torch to [red]Trickster[/red] and allowing him to run with the ball for a while.
Trickster is a prime example of being loyal and sticking through it all, good and bad and never fighting with members. He is such a great person, and his attitude twards WFF is great. He is what you guys need to continue to grow and to recover in times like this. I believe Trickster will do a great job, and I have already discussed this all with him in the past few days.
Congrats Trickster, you truely deserve the honor.
WFF, its been wild guys, but now, its time for me to step down, enjoy life and just sit back. I do have however, have a message or two for a few of you that i didnt cover above.
Jer - your one of the nicest people i've gotton to know. From bday cards, to trading and our phone calls.. your just a great guy overall. My advice to you, slow down. Your living life way to fast, and your gonna burn out. Just take it easy, and enjoy it. Trust me, do that and you'll beable to control it all.
Adolf - I feel like ive known you forever man. We go way back, all the way to Gussys, Reys and Backlash! I must say, your one of the best members i've ever had the chance to have. You were the best, and easily the best 1WF Admin we've ever had. Without you, I highly doubt 1WF would of been as big of success it was. Thanks for everything bro.. you are the true definition of loyal.
PD - We may never of seen eye to eye on many things, but i must say your one of the smartest guys here. I always enjoyed discussions with you, as you would fight tooth and nail using your intellegence in a debate. You got a special gift man.
50 - you may just be my favorite member of all time. I always enjoyed you, even if you were fighting or whatnot. I always thought you were cool. Regardless of what people tell you, your a great kid.
Willy - You may be Thurman Merman to me, a sammich sneaking bastard or attempting to attack your mp3 player.. but I can honestly say your one of the better people I got to know on some sort of a personal level. Your a great kid, and just dont let anyone push you around =)
For the members i didnt address, thank you all for the memories... and Huff, get this lyrics going man! Its time to celebrate Tricksters new WFF Role!
Thank you guys, for everything.
