Standing Down

Post by Matt »

Hi everyone.

Shortly I will be standing down as a moderator. This is due to a lack of time and becasue I feel I no longer have any benefit from being a member of the MMOC (I have only renewed in the past 2 years as in order to be a moderator you need to be a member of the MMOC for liability purposes...).

So, thanks to those of you who have offered support and those who have made it interesting here!

Oh and I will be hanging around, but not as a greeny :lol:

Thanks guys

Hi Matt,
Why do you feel you no longer benefit from being a member of the club?
Best wishes,
Mike.

Matt

Sorry to see you leave as a moderator.

You always appeared to moderate with a "light touch" which helps to keep a happy forum

Do you remember we used to have a website rally.............

I can well understand that Matt - hope you do stick around though! Leaves v few 'active' Mods - one on the list is 'never' seen these days - so the load on the others will soon mount up. Thanks for your always very 'sensible' efforts Matt! :)

I do remember the website rallies.

At the first one (at Gaydon) I got wreck of the rally.

With regards to not getting anything from the club, i don't have a minor on the road, I am not a branch member and don't have any interaction with the club - except the mags which I don't have time or inclination to read... Basically it has got to the point where I am paying purely to do work (moderating) for the club.

I am also at the point where I am trying to pay off debt and get enough saved within 2 years to get a deposit to buy a house, so not renewing membership is part of a rationalisation of my outgoings. I used to belong to a number of car clubs and the MMOC hung on the longest!

And thanks for the comments, I have done my best to try and keep most of the people happy most of the time :lol:

edit: just noticed... I have been a member of the site for over a decade now :o
