The Office - Never thought I would be doing this...

Firestar007 · 09-09-2009, 02:57 PM

This was a very hard decision for me take, but I am stepping down from The Office board, right now things in my real life have been difficult. I was away for two months because since July 4th my mom was taken to the hospital because she was very sick, later on we found out that she had encephalitis (an infection to the brain) she was in ICU for 3 weeks and on July 31st she was discharged and then taken to a rehabilitation hospital to give her therapy and then went home on the 15th of August. So right now my main priority is helping my mom with her recuperation. As much as I love my two boards and being part of the MST, right now I don't have the time to dedicate time to them and the MST. Hopefully in time I will come back and I hope to once again be part of the Mod squad because I love it. I want to thank the Fan Forum Management Team for everything, you guys are just amazing and again thanks for all the support in these difficult times.

Hopefully from time to time I will be able to post, because I couldn't completely leave FF after being here for such a long time, can't believe it's been almost 10 years of being part of this wonderful site!

Thanks for everything guys!

Mel- You know I am really sad about this decision because you know I don't to leave the board but right now it is for the best. I just want to thank you for everything! I'm so happy that I got to co-mod the board with you, I seriously couldn't have asked for a better person to co-mod this board with

I still remember how happy we both were when we found out we got it

I'm so happy that FF brought us together and that we developed a wonderful friendship that will forever continue on

Liz!

I know I already said this, but I completely understand your reasons behind stepping down and I wish you the best with your mom. I hope you come back and visit us here on the board every so often!!

LIZ

I'm so shocked! And saddened. Ok, not shocked because, Hello! we chat on Twitter ALL THE TIME. But saddened. Like I tweeted to you "it's the end of an era"

so yeah, you know how I feel about you - your amazing. We'll no doubt be text/twitter buddies. As for the board, BIG SHOES TO FILL. That's all I will say.

I'm so so sad that you're stepping down and that we won't be co-modding anymore.

It has been an amazing 3 years co-modding together.

It was so exciting the day we found out we both got the mod position here..................doubly awesome because we got it together.

I'm glad

brought us together. Friends for life.

Thanks for everything you did for the board.

I know this was a very hard decision for you because you love the board, posters, and modding so much.

Oh, man.

Liz, I can't believe you're stepping down. I'm so sorry for everything you've been having to deal with.

I know this decision couldn't have been easy at all!

I hope things get lighter in your life so that you can return, because it won't be the same here without you.

It just won't.

Sorry about everything Liz
I understand your reasons for leaving

***Chris*** · 09-10-2009, 11:19 AM

Liz - Sorry to see you go, but totally understand that you have other priorities at the moment. I hope your mom's recovery goes well. Take care of yourself.

Mel

I know how sad you are that I'm stepping down and believe me it was a super hard decision because I love this board so much, love co-modding it with you and love the posters here. It has definitely been an amazing 3 years co-modding this board with you! It sure was exciting the day we got the modship position I still remember how happy we both were, those were some great times! And of course we will definitely have all these great memories. I'm also so thankful that

brought us together, friends for life!

Yep definitely a hard decision, but hopefully once things are better I will be able to come by more often and post with you guys again.

Thanks Chris

Liz - I don't think it's going to be a reality until I don't see your name up there anymore.

Firestar007 · 09-14-2009, 10:49 AM

Mel- I feel the same way, when I don't see my name next to yours, it will hit me

**colorful_dust** · 09-15-2009, 12:37 AM

I'm so sorry you have to do this Liz because I know you don't want to.

I am hoping for the best for your family.

**JamieScott** · 09-17-2009, 08:43 AM

Best of luck to you!!!

That's how it was for me too. But I was away on vacation. When I came back and logged on, it was like "what?!" - but once the initial shock wears off, you can post again - normally. Trust me.

Liz, I'm sorry to hear that you're stepping down. The Office board won't be the same without you as a co-mod with Mel.

***Enigma*** · 09-17-2009, 11:24 PM

Liz - You're not there anymore.
