View Full Version : I am stepping down as Admin of vB.org

Hi all,
It's been a great being an Admin of vB.org - unfortunately, due to lack of time and other personal commitments, I have to officially step down as an Admin of vBulletin.org. Members who are astute may have noticed that I have been spending less and less time here at vB.org. This is due to various reasons, including an increasing workload at my new job (I'm both a doctor and a lawyer).
I want to thank Chen and Stefan for all they have done. Stefan (Xenon) especially deserves special mention for being a dedicated co-Admin here, who have done most of the work.
Last but not least, I want to thank all the members, for their fantastic contributions to this site. Without you, this site is nothing.
I will still be around, just not as much as before. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions.
Take care all!

Now that you wont be spending time as an admin, you should have plenty of spare time to continue making killer hacks :laugh:

how rude - definately showing yer age there Skyline.
Erwin, I truly believe you have been an asset to vb.org for the period of time you occupied the admin position. Is unfortunate you have to leave the position, but I hope you will still remain active in the community.
Good luck with all your future plans or endeavors.
Sincerelly,
Floren.
I've missed much. *hugs* Good luck in all you do, Erwin. :)

Erwin, my friend, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I want you to know that I have always looked up to you as both a leader and a great coder, AND as a friend, no matter how it may have seemed at times. Good luck with all that you have chosen to do and please don't be a stranger here. I've gotten kind of used to you being around. And when you get as old as I am, you really hate to change things. ;)
