ADMIN & MODS: Please Read

Wow. I'm truly at a loss for words.

I really wish that there were more things I could have done to help you out. I understand your reasonings.

Dear Rob, Nicole, BossC, Michael, Chrissy and Selise,

Guys, I am so sorry about this. I really didn't plan for any of this, but the past few weeks here was the worst in my 3 years. I honestly didn't want any of you feeling betrayed, sad, heartbroken or mad, but I also didn't realise I had that big of an impact on you all. I was just me, visiting every day and posting a lot.

Makes no sense to me . Well, I understand how you feel you have an addiction.

When you say we won't miss your help. That is a complete lie. You told me when I was going to quit that I was a great asset to the team and it would be fanmail.biz loss, imagine that for you. I'm sure you did.
And for who was the best GM. Out of 11, four are active. Just 4 IMO. You were the best IMO, (not to offend anyone, sorry.)

So, yeah have fun "in rehab". At least you didn't say no, no, no . Oh, I'm not mad, I just don't agree with those points, that you used to lessen what your doing (which I don't think there is anything wrong with.)
Michael...Liz won't even read this...

Michael - I got your e-mail and I responded. I guess I don't have much self-confidence! But honestly, in my eyes, I usually went through the "Moderator Logs" and only saw all of the others' names, and they seemed so devoted and much more hard working than me - I mean, to me it felt like I just posted a lot! But now that I know how you all feel, I'll make this a temporary break so Jason can take care of things (and learn how being a GM works!) and my team won't go dead! But I'll consider returning after the exams in July. {thumb2} So it's not too long hopefully!

Please, if there's anything you'd like to discuss with me personally, e-mail me at lizswart@gmail.com Thanks to those who already did so that we could clear things up as the last thing I wanted was making you upset!

But now I'll promise, I'll return under my old account in July.

Zanne,

It's extremely sad to see you go like this. Especially letting 3 weeks out of 3 great years (if I may say so) get the best of you and make you leave like this. There will always be ups and downs, but the site has been able to get past it and hopefully we'll do it once again! {up}I definitely don't understand completely what you've been through, but definitely did not wish it upon you or anyone else whom this whole Tony situation happend to. It really is upsetting to see that it's allowing you to make this decision.

I hope to still see you around the boards, and hopefully be able to keep in touch with you now and again! You've definitely been an assist to the team and we'll miss you dearly! *hug* Maybe you'll have a change of heart after this whole thing passes? I hope so! *crosses fingers*

Take care hon.

Hi guys!

This is Lizanne this time!

Due to a series of events this past weekend, which involved some terrible things that happened to Jason, I've decided to take back my account (this one... yellow!) permanently. :neutral: I realised that I made a mistake to put all of you in this position by just suddenly leaving and most importantly, leaving Jason with my account, which Tony unfortunately found (and spammed his wonderful site's guestbook ). Another bad thing also happened to him while taking over my account, and it's all my fault.

Please guys, all of you, try to forgive me for my idiotic, silly decision and Jason, I'm so sorry for the trouble you have had. Now I know I should never just jump into decisions without talking to you all, my best friends! {thumb2}

To Jason:
You did an amazing job in your two days as a GM! {clap} You absolutely fitted in and you have some brilliant ideas! So, from now on I'd like you to be my helper on my team - I'll pm you about it!

I'm so sorry about everything guys! I'll still be "less active" until after my first exams at uni, but in July (holiday!) I'll be back again fully!

Aw, thank you so much Larisa! Thank you for the lovely message, as I said before, I never knew I made such an impact on you all - I should learn to trust myself more! I'm back permanently now due to some bad things which happened to Jason, and I sincerely hope he doesn't quit because of that.

[jasonw]

All right for those of you who are very confused right now as to what's going on, let me try to clarify things before Lizanne makes a thread about it (I think she will?)

1. Yes, Lizanne has returned. Reason being she misses you guys and as she said, she doesn't want anyone to be unhappy because of her depature.

2. She will be less active then before, so Lizanne has suggested that I should operate as a "co-GM" to spread the work out.

3. Please keep the word within this section of the forum to prevent Lizanne's account to be spammed again. (At the moment Tony believes I am the sole leader on Team Excel and he thinks zanne is gone, so he will only be bugging me and not both me and zanne which is the better of the two evil).

If anything is still un clear PM me ;)

Regards,
Jason

Well, I am glad to see you back...part time...sort of. I know next to nothing about the issues you guys are having but I am very sorry fanmail has caused you guys this much grief and so I'll just say one piece of advice that I thought of.

Liz, you might consider removing the link to your site from your signature. That might be good advice for all Mods and GMs until things calm down. That would be one less place for Tony and the rest to find your site's webaddress. You could always add it back in later.

Guys, I am so sorry about this. I really didn't plan for any of this, but the past few weeks here was the worst in my 3 years. I honestly didn't want any of you feeling betrayed, sad, heartbroken or mad, but I also didn't realise I had that big of an impact on you all. I was just me, visiting every day and posting a lot.

You are a great GM and never feel that you are just "visiting every day and posting a lot." You are much more than just that. You have so much knowledge on this subject and you are alway willing to help-newbies and seasoned collectors alike. You are a great example to the TMs and Mods on the boards. {thumb2}

Thank you so much for the kind message, BossC! I really appreciate having you as my friend here! I'll continue to be a good (I hope!) GM here and I'll be back during the weekends to add members into the draw in the "Feedback" forum. {thumb2}

And thank you for the advice about my link in my siggy - I never even thought about that (I'm a bit slow). I've removed it.

Thank you all!
Liz
