Webmaster wanted
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:52 pm
This is notification that I intend to step down as webmaster with immediate effect. I have spent many long days and nights, sometimes 2 days straight, making a new site that we could be proud of.
However some of you seem to see me as a club official, I am not. I am just a member who volunteered to continue the work from others. I am not paid, I do not charge for my time, and have a full time job, I work most nights and most weekends on the site, and for this very reason I feel I have to stand down. I don’t get the buzz out of it anymore. To get the forum to email people alone took most of xmas and new year hour after hour day after day, to satisfy you!
I have accepted negative remarks, comments and criticism of the club, and tried hard to support the club.
I had the strength to stand up and volunteer. I also pay my fees each year like you, but I give back more than I put in.
Some of you have mentioned your £21 well I also give my £21 and I also give my time and help to help the club grow! For example how many of you have I called personally to fix your pc’s?
As a club member I am appalled at the attitudes of some of the club members, and their never ending barrage of criticism. People find it all too easy to hide behind their screens and throw insults in (sometimes hidden as jokes) and never face the consequences of my lost nights of sleep.
There are issues with the club, there is no doubt in that, but I am not the club, so leave off of me. Take your justified issues to Adrian; you all know he is on holiday, that doesn’t make it open season on me.
Its hardly a surprise that Karl and Deon have left, their leaving was “partly” prompted by the file of rank of people who see the internet based part of the club as nothing more than a complaints board. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
For these reasons I stand down, but will not be leaving the club as a member, rather I shall melt into the background and just demand my magazine 4 times a years I will also be joining other clubs and just sit back and use my viva (s).
