Anyhow, for those who do remember me from the old Plusnet forum I was one of the original moderating team from when the old phpBB forum was first launched over 4 years ago. Throughout the life of the old forums and the changeover to this new one I have held the post of forum moderator.
I have thought long and hard about this and come to the conclusion that I have been doing it for too long and the time has come for to step down from the post. As one of the original moderators I was the only one left who was not elected by you the users and that anomaly will be corrected when you elect my successor.
I have mostly enjoyed the role over the last four and a half years and have made many friends and contacts via these forums. There have also been some turbulent times when Plusnet have dropped the ball or made some far reaching decision that affected us the users. Those times called for some hard moderating on occasions so as well as friends I know I have also made some enemies. Hopefuly not too many
I intend to still visit these forums in the future as they are a wonderful source of help and information and I have received good advise from the community on several occassions in the past.
So with those words I'll end this post and give my best wishes to the rest of the moderating team who I'm sure will continue to keep the forums the good tool that they are and hang up my boots so to speak.

Being one of the original gang I'm sure you have seen many changes over the years and you have played a major part in making the forums what they are now, so you will be missed.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

It was good working with you from both sides of the fence... Your help and advice has been invaluable, and your moderating style fair. You'll be missed around these parts, so don't be a stranger!

They are too much of a valuable asset to even contemplate that.

Theres always one isn't there
No I'm stepping down because I think I have been doing it for too long. Another factor is my age. I am now approaching 64 years old and feel that I want a slower pace of life. The forums however are accelerating as they try and keep pace with the ever changing face of technology and something had to give.
See you all around here in the future.

Au revoir, John Essex (the moderator). You would have been assured my vote, if that was the only reason for your 'departure'.
