Maroon5 - This is not goodbye I say, It is just time for me to rest my head...

**Shnicky** · 01-19-2009, 12:37 AM

I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did receive

all,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've stepped down as a Moderator of M5 Board. This perhaps was the HARDEST decision I've made here in

I'm not sure how will I feel after this but I'm definitely not hoarding the board for those who have more passion on this board than I do.

Nope, I didn't say I don't like the band anymore, nor the board. It's just that I feel that there are better posters here to take care of the board than myself. I had noticed that I post less on this board than any of the other boards that I'm interested on. I couldn't relate much anymore with some of the discussions.

I would like to thank everyone who had made a deep impact on my stinct as a Mod here. Our first moderator - Sabrina (I miss you and thank you for the guidance). Ashleigh, thank you for giving me the opportunity to mod this board. My former co-mods - Chynna and Tara; I'll never forget the memories (crazy, bittersweet, amazing and everything!).

Plus, here on this board, I've formed so many friendships. Madelen, Kara, Pav, Sheida, Ru, Chazina, Peas, Kaye, Chrissie, Jule, Kat, Candice, Laura, noosat, James, and to all that I've forgot to include (I'm sorry). I wish we can have all the old days intertwined with the present. I'm sure everybody will have a super time.

To my current co-mod, who's so amazing that I am very confident leaving the board with great hands, Ash. You know how much I trust and love you. I don't have any qualms about leaving the board with just someone. You've come a long way hon. Like me, this was your first board, now look at you, you have 3 already. And one of them is a tough one to mod (Lost). I'm so proud of you. I still remember the day I PMed you asking if you wanted to apply for the mod position of this board. it's been a hell of a ride with us on the reign.

Ah, pardon if this is long. I have mixed emotions writing this "parting piece." Maroon5 Board accepted me as it's mod back in March 2005. I've learned so much from modding this board. I've learned to be responsible, how to deal with different kinds of people, and more... Thank you for giving me the chance to learn those here. Everytime someone PMs me, asking for advise, I feel that I've gone so far long since the first time a board was put under my avatar. I might not let everyone feel it but I truly appreciate all the PMs and the questions and for trusting me to answer them all.

All right, to wrap everything up.

I love you guys and I'll miss modding this board. But hey, you won't get rid of me that quick. I promise to be here all the time (not as much as I can, but all the time). Nothing will change, just the mod position. As some would say, "You never really leave a place or person you love, part of them you take with you, leaving a part of yourself behind.”

Goodnight my friends!

Sorry to see you step down

I'm heartbroken!

But I understand, and the important thing is that you will still be here and so I won't miss you, because there isn't a reason why I should, You'll still be here. Right?!!

So, I love you too, and you were a great mod!
