I have been asked by Ras to pass this message on to you all.
"I have stepped down from the moderator team completely for the betterment of the forum. I hope you all continue to use and enjoy it. I understand that I am not the right person to lead it and that my emotive nature can cause confrontation. I may well continue to post but it will be as a regular poster from here on. UTG"
I am personally very disappointed with this, since without Ras we would have no Gaschat. I'd like to thank him for all his hard work, drive and vision in making this place what it is.
Ras has asked me to take on the role of site administrator, which I reluctantly agreed to do.
Many thanks for continuing to use Gaschat.
Good luck Ras and thank you.

Really sorry to hear this. Ras did such a great job setting Gaschat up, and it's really taken off since the season started. I certainly hope that he continues to post, and maybe, when the dust has settled, he'll have a re-think about being involved behind the scenes. Meanwhile, thanks to Hugo for picking up the reins.
Thank you Ras - don't be a stranger!

Just so you are all aware, I now hold the admin account but will be using this one still.
Any messages sent to Ras' account will come to me instead.
He's gone folks.

Shame. I can see how this thankless task could wear one down though. I'm guessing RAS was fed up.......

I only hope that those responsible are pleased that they managed to drive someone out of control of a forum they set up.

Ras quits the same day as naked pics of Jennifer Lawrence are leaked. Coincidence?

Ras
You were always a very dry wit on the old forum and I was very surprised with the way you took on the challenge of setting up this forum. You have made a fantastic job of it and you were a real leader when we needed one.
I get your frustration and understand your decision, getting undeserved grief from the "plebs" is an occupational hazard for those who are prepared to stick their heads above the parapet.
Take some time out, realise that the majority are very grateful for what you have done and we will see you back here soon.
You do know the other forum refer to this as Ras' Forum don't you?

What a bloody shame. I actually felt this was coming as certain posters have done a sterling job of wearing the guy down. I warned Ras a few weeks ago by pm to beware of those who would seek to destroy what's been set up with their constant negative, confrontational and destructive carping. I hope they are feeling smug now.
Edit: just seen the post above, this was not aimed at you Jools

gasheadnaboo, there's no need for personal insults.
Fanboy has expressed his opinion, one that others will no doubt share.

Edit: just seen the post above, this was not aimed at you Jools Not taken that way Kevin, I am very happy Ras set this up and am grateful but I also know, from experience, you need a tough skin to sometimes deal with forum arguments. Sometimes it's knowing when to just not reply and leave stuff. My biggest problem is with those that can find it easy to write on a forum, stuff they would never say to your face and my bet is that it's those types that may have upset but it is a forum and you give and take it. I just see it for what it is, Ras feels a need to stepping away and FairPlay to that. It's his decision to do so. He'll probably be a lot happier for it in anycase.
