Anime Angels > Announcements > MelMak steps down...


Posted by: The Melody Maker Oct 25 2009, 11:21 PM
Well, everyone, to make a long story short, this is going to be my very last post on these forums as a staffer. After a very long time of carefully praying and thinking about it, I've made the difficult decision to step down from my position as both webmaster and administrator/moderator due to the busyness of life's responsibilities which drain me of the time I once had. But I'm not leaving the site altogether; I'm just becoming a regular member again and will still drop in to post now and then like I usually do.

It was a blessing and a pleasure to help keep the site running smoothly for the last few years, and I'm thankful to have worked with such wonderful staff and good members like yourselves. I'm glad to be able to leave the webmastering maintenance of the site in the very capable hands of Draw2much and Anime4Christ.

For my final parting words as site staffer, I can think of none other than the second half of my favorite verse, Ephesians 5:19...

"[Sing] and [make] melody in your heart to the Lord!"

~ Russell ("The Melody Maker" / "MelMak")

Omigosh, Melmak! O.O You're stepping down?

That's okay- we understand, life is pretty involving, isn't it? wink.gif Thank you for taking care of the site so well and for so long- you've done a great job of adminning and webmastering. I'm glad you're going to be sticking around anyways. ^_^

Ah, you had me worried when I saw your topic -- I thought you also meant you were going to leave! Because many people have left or are leaving (I've often thought about it myself).

Anyway, I think we all understand how busy life can get. I pray and wish the best for you. ^_^ Thank you for all your hard work!

*salutes MelMak*
You are one of the best Admins and persons I've ever met. Words cannot express how much you've given to this site and the members here over the years.
I wish you luck in all aspects in your life and I know God will bless you in whatever you do. ^___^

Sorry to see you leave the staff team, Melmak. Good luck with the busy-ness of life! It's sad to see you step down from being on staff - I think a big part of what makes AA what it is will be missing without you on the team. But I'm glad you're not leaving us for good - be sure to come back often and share some of that upbeat joyfulness with us once in awhile!

Thank you for your kind words, everyone. ;w; May our Lord continue to bless you remaining staffers as you seek to do His will and run the site using His Word as your highest standard. ^__^

Aww. Well, all good things must come to an end, I guess. Thanks, MelMak, for all you've done for AA; keeping the site spam-free, being the source of much gender confusion, etc.! It's a small comfort to see that you'll be sticking around, at least.

Wha--? Leaving me in charge??! *hides behind server*

Busy-ness stinks sometimes. frown.gif You did awesome though, MelMak.

I'm sorry to see that you're stepping down. You were actually the whole reason I joined this site. But I will continue to contribute because I respect what you are doing here. May God continue to bless your life.

Aww... We'll miss you MelMak. frown.gif And I echo Goldie and everyone else that's said it. You've been such a blessing to this site with everything you've done. pleased.gif I know how busy life gets and I hope God blesses you as you strive to please Him. Although I am going to miss your bright personality and sense of humor. Take care and God bless! huggle.gif

Wow! Now this was certainly the last thing I was expecting... but I fully and completely understand. Thank you so much for everything you've done on AA. May the Lord continue to bless you.... and thanks again, MelMak. smile.gif
