Stepping down as Moderator

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to post letting folks know that I have stepped down from my role as a Moderator. My personal life has gotten extremely busy lately and I've just found that I don't have the time to dedicate to the job that I feel it deserves, so I've made way for a replacement (I believe a formal announcement to that effect is coming soon). I've really enjoyed being a mod for the past 2.5 years in the Super Duty section and the past couple or so here in the 7.3L section, my favorite section (Sshhhh! Don't tell!). I'll still be on FTE, of course, but just as a member.

Anyway, just wanted to give folks a heads up. Scott, aka cookie88, will of course still be on as a mod. He does such a terrific job and really is the heart and soul of it, so I'm thankful that he'll be around still, and am looking forward to having my replacement taking on new responsibility, as well. Thankfully, this section is so outstanding and close-knit that the wee bit of work I did probably won't be missed much. Thanks to everyone for being so great.

Peace,

Ryan you have done an excellent job as moderator hate to see you let it go but I understand the busy personal life hard to slow down some times.

Thankyou for what you have done, and as Scott has said, come back around when you get the chance. But your personal business does come first. Wish you the best Ryan.

Thank you for your contribution over the years Ryan, and I sure hope there is nothing seriously wrong in your life. You're sure right about the 7.3 section being the heart and soul of the entire site and I'm afraid our comradeship has bothered someone with more clout than a simple little mod can fix for us. A real shame too, because nothing gets ignored and if anything we go the extra mile for anyone in need of aid.

Thanks for your contribution Ryan. Don't be a stranger. I'm sure there's lots less involved in just contributing as a regular member, so hopefully we will still see you around. Dan seems to have made the adjustment quite well, and I'm sure you will too.

Thanks Ryan for your service on our forum. I know things happen that makes things change. I am sure you guys have someone that will try to fill your shoes. I don't really know what the job is about, besides keeping us in place. I know Scott does. . Will be looking forward to your post as a regaler guy on here. Good luck on your personal business. I hope things are good with you and yours.

Will be waiting to hear who is the new mod.
