Just copied this from the home page in case anyone misses it Unfortunately in 2010 I will have to stop running Gaeldom. Obviously the forum needs to stay online so if anybody is willing to be in charge then let me know via PM. My name will always be on the board as there seems to be no way to remove the creator. If I find a way to remove it then I will do so in due course. It's over to you as they say !!! Any ideas? |

I agree! Many thanks for looking after us Wady K. If you haven't had any other offers, I am happy to take control of the board and allow the moderators to manage it and just be there for the techy stuff. |

Thanks to our leader who is and will remain our founder and therefore SPECIAL member! flors We all, I'm sure, have no intention of letting this lovely board sink without trace just because we're too lazy to take on the work ourselves after FOTW has done all the hard stuff! She deserves a rest! K1ap I don't mind doing Admin duties as I've had some admin rights for a while now from occasions where it was needed, and generally it's not too headachy, but some ongoing tech help (Spud and Gun Chleoc already on the list - ṃran taing, guys - see how helpful Gaeldomers are!! flors ) and takeover-support from FOTW (already offered flors ) would be needed. Or is anyone else keen to get involved at any level? Potential for rotating mods, maybe? (Then I can misbehave too! :twist ) Thanks for starting the thread, Kate. I have to run just now, but hope others have some ideas too! |

Hope everything is okay with you Flower. I also want to add my big thanks to you for all you have done for us wee souls over the past......how many years is it??? I have no technical ability at all, so I won't even bother offering that side of help. Look how long it took me to work out how to do photos, and even that is a sort of back door cheat via FB!! If my help is needed on anything simple, than I can do it. If it's not simple, you'll have to look elsewhere!! But big thanks to Flower and her wee team that have done brilliantly over the past few years. |

I can only agree with the above and having spoke to you well messengered you FOTW I can understand . This must be the best MB ever and we do not want to lose it . Lots of names come to mind here . For the technical stuff , puffin , firth , and kate def come to mind . I would like to mention more names but I'm sure education and work commitments come in here too as for the aforementioned too . I'm sure anybody interested will get as much help as possible from the rest of us . I'll support whoever but I'm a computer numpty . :( |

I will say that whatever you decide to do amongst yourselves, that this board really ticks over all by itself now, we seem to have lost the attempted porn spammers since we moved to zetaboards (touch wood), and everybody is so well behaved that most weeks there is nothing to do whatsoever on the admin side of things!! Only time there was anything more was when we moved and had to get the current 'look' sorted. Let me know what you want to do, whenever you agree it amongst yourselves and I will give necessary peeps the necessary information. I will however keep a back up disk of the present scheme and pictures just incase!!! |

I'll help in any way I can, but just because I was a technician in my previous life, it doesn't mean I can cope with the techy stuff on a message board. naegotscoobie rofl :D |

FOTW: Let me add my thanks as well-this is such a special place and we appreciate all the hard work you put into getting it up and running through all the switches and changes so all would work smoothly. And thanks for the best emoticons in cyber space!!! Since I don't get to see you all in person all that often, it's nice to know where I can find you in this cozy little corner of the virtual world. flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors flors |

:unsure I'm hopeless with computer tech. stuff! I always panic whenever something goes wrong and have to call John to fix it! 'Fraid I'm a computer-numpty too, Willie! I wouldn't have the first idea about how to run a message board. naegotscoobie So sorry you're er... retiring? resigning? Flower gr33tin - you will still be coming on here as a member though, won't you? To echo everyone else - many, many thanks for providing such a great, friendly little message board for us all to enjoy, free of the bickering and nastiness that can erupt elsewhere. flors flors flors flors Gae1d0m If Firth can find the time to take over Admin duties, that'll be brill! flors flors I'd missed this on the opening page too, so thanks for pointing it out Kate. flors Edited by puffin, Nov 30 2009, 07:19 PM.

I am setting up my facebook page again - using my real name - I will only look at it at weekends and won't be doing all the games etc on it. It's a good way to see what folks are up to at a glance and relatives will be going on there too. I just want to be 'me'. I will understand that some of you will probably be fed up with the fact I have deleted accounts and come back several times - so no offence will be taken if you do not wish to re-add me. |
