Important Announcement

[Colin]

Thank you Jamie, Hank, Nelson, Glen, and Bradley

It has been a real pleasure to work along side you all for this wonderful site. As some may know I was one of the first 10 people to sign up and take part in Xmarksthescot.com and I have enjoyed being a member of this site since day 1. I have always admired the way that the site was set up and run. So when Hank asked me if I would be interested in being a moderator in 2006 I was more than happy to sign up.

There have been many ups and downs, conflicts, disagreements, misconceptions, and martyrs in that time, but the ability to work with the exceptional members of Xmarks has been an incredible experience and far out weighted any negative. Xmarks has the best members on the web. The caliber of people and the knowledge and insight you all bring to the site is unparalleled. The members are what make this the biggest and best kilt site on the internet.

I am leaving a great group of guys to handle the moderating job. Jamie, Nelson, Bradley, Glen, and Hank are exception guys and do an amazing job with this site. Anyone that thinks any differently should really spend a week in their ghillies and see some of the stuff that comes to the moderators. It's a tough job finding a good balance and keeping 6607 members happy. I for one think they do it with respect and a very light touch. Keep up the great work guys and thanks for having me as part of your team.

I look forward to many more days as a member of this site. However after three years as a moderator I felt that it was in the best interest of myself, this site and the members here to step back and let a fresh set of eyes take over the duties of moderator. I don't envy Jamie, Nelson, Bradley, Glen, and Hank as they look for a replacement or two as they have so many fine choices.

Thanks again to the members of Xmarks and the staff of Xmarks for making these "moderating years" enjoyable ones.

See you on the forum.

Though this is an announcement, please know that the good Ladies and Gentlemen of X Marks the Scot are welcome to post their thoughts on this thread.

Cheers

Jamie

I was stunned to read these Mods are retiring. As a member for 1½ years their insightful comments and firm, yet fair chastises has been part of my experience here, that is now to be missed.

Gentlemen, I thank you for your service!
