I did hope to grow the financial side of things a bit more for the new owner first but life took over.

Now with the sale of IH I want to ensure people remain confident about who is really making the decisions here.

So it is time to accelerate the process of handing this place back to the community as was always the plan from day 1 ( I am sure not everyone believed this and that is understandable )

I want the community to make some nominations for who they want as their new admin here.

Please nominate in the following format:

Example:

I nominate: @WSS
Why: because he was always a crowd pleaser and never derailed a single thread.

Please give some detail as to why you want to nominate them to have the nomination considered.

You can nominate upto 3 people.

I will then contact those nominations to ensure they are prepared to step up to the plate here.

There will then be a vote, the first vote will bring the nominations down to a final 3 then there will be a final vote.

The community will decide who gets the admin role.

To be clear I will entirely hand over lowendspirit I will only retain control of the domain itself as an emergency measure to prevent corruption/sale.

The new admin will have absolute control of the direction of this place, if they want me to continue to manage the backend though I am happy to do so silently so the limiting factor does not become a technical one.

My goal is just to become as regular member as possible here and prove lack of personal control over the forum and site.

I may stay active for a short hand over period, I will be making my own nominations for consideration and I am not limiting myself to 3, call it my last privilege

I will make my nominations over the weekend after this post has had time to attract attention as I don’t want my nominations to influence people immediately.

In order for community nominees to be considered they must get a minimum of 2 nominations.

Have your say!
