I've been running or, as the case may be, not running this forum for a few years now. Recently things my end have started to become more "offline" than online and I just, honestly, don't have the time that's required to look after this forum. I think it time to pass the baton over to my good friend Rickcr42, if he'll accept it, and call it a day with regard to me running this place.
I'll still remain an active poster / contributor but will hand the admin "key" over to Rick should he want to accept the position.
Over to you Rick?
All the best.
Mike.

I was thinking more of the "change the colour scheme" "optimise the joint for the search engines" "add new exciting features" rather than just clean up after the occasional spammer You know, maybe we could have a Pink Weekend where the entire forum turns Pink. We could have a Green weekend, a blue Monday, a Yellow Tuesday and so on and so forth, the more the merrier. Black and Grey is OK but would be nice to have a change now and again.

you need to read my previous post on how I react to too much pink Green is becoming a dirty word around my house (up there with Pinko as in commie pinko ;D ) so not my favorite unless it has dollar signs attached to it... Blue Monday works but only if the NY Giants WIN on Sunday or the Stormy Weather of Black and Gray would be better suited.Black and Blue ? Now THAT is a color combination I can relate to On a serious note we have a small core of regular posters here that seem to have their heads screwed on right that not surprisingly also have "global moderator" under their screen name even though most of them likely think it is just a joke (not,you DO have access to the mod controls !).I'm thinking we could all just keep doing what we are doing until you decide to come back from your "walkabout" ready to retake the reigns as it should be. remeber one thing mike,"power corrupts and absolute power corrupt absolutely" and if left alone you may wander in here one day and find "Rock Grotto" corrupted in to "RICK GROTTO" then before you know it with the sub title "a shrine to the Great Rick,all hail the great one" and before you know it all discussions not on triode gear or how to get the best sound out of ancient technologies the only "state approved" messages and then where would we be ? Once the coup complete and total power consolidated it would be a bitch trying to retake what is your so take your damn vacation,reload the "enthusiasm bank" and get your ass back here before all hell breaks loose.Could get ugly man ;D

phew ! that was a frikkin' close call folks ! for those who missed it (lasted all of a minute ) I tinkered a bit with the layout and while some parts were very promising the overall effect was a bit on the psychotic side of nuetral but fear not,the rickmonster is ON this and will in the next few days have a set of rotating skins in place for the easily amused crew

I meant to take another crack at the color scheme today but got sidetracked trying to re-design my ADC to output a USB signal so the research/headache lasted all day and the "test" never happened. This is kind of a shame because last nights experiment was actually very attractive except for some of the "hover" options which kind of jumped of the screen and wahpped you right in the kisser but in general had a soothing look that was easy on the eyes while not being either gaudy or boring.I am ready to go at round-2 but today was my last bit of freedom for the next 6 days unless it rains like a bastard and I get a day off here and there so "Rick's wonderful world of Living color" will have to keep until i either get the time or get enough enthusiasm for the change to do the dirty deed after kicking my ass at work all day. .......don't hold your breath.........
