Hello melons, This message is mostly for older members or for all who knew me as a Global Moderator and also as someone who was hanging on the forum about 24/day, hehe... Well, life changes and while a few years ago, internet was pretty much all of my occupation, today it's something I rather try to avoid because it's so time consuming and I need all the time I can get for other activities and projects. But I'm happy to say that overall, changes in my life have been great and very positive. Since I can't be here as much as I used to and fulfill Global Moderator duties, I decided to step out as a Staff member. Other staff members were not only fellow staff for me but also great friends and I want to assure you that the second part stays the same So, I will repeat something I already said to Staff; Thank You for everything and for giving me a chance to be a part of Staff of such an awesome place, it truly means a lot, it was an honor and pleasure. To the rest of the members, thank you for all the great time as well but hey, this is NOT a goodbye, just a change, so we'll see each other around ;D While I'm in the thanking mood, I want to thank the band for... for so much I can't even start to tell! But I can always be even more grateful, so why don't you come to Europe again Btw, being So High feels good too...naturally high, hehe. Love Love Love to Everyone, from all my heart.

Barb, you know we will miss you as a staff member and that we all understand and support your decision. I'm personally very happy for you because I know that you have been having so many wonderful life experiences lately. As I said to you already, you would not have been able to have had all of these wonderful experiences if you had been spending your most of your free time online. Hopefully you will find the time to still post here and keep us updated on your life. #smileyhug#

Barb,
Thank you so much for helping us moderate this forum during a very important time! It has been quite a ride. And I totally respect and support your decision to not let the "intermaweb" get in the way of real life.
I should also take this opportunity to tell you that I am really impressed by your skills as a photographer! Please continue to drop by and share some photos with us. (Your shots of Medeski, Martin & Wood were amazing!)
Anyhoon, I know we will see you around here from time to time. And thanks again for all of the help that you have given to the Forum and the melon community.

Thanks for all the love folks #smileyhug# Keith, great to see you stop by, hope you're doing good. Ryan, thank you for the kind words about my photos, it means a lot! After the show, I posted MMW photos on their FB page and their managment asked me for permission to use them in the future. I grabbed the chance to tell them that if they ever wanted to collaborate more, I'll be happy to. Anyway, I'll definitely pop up from time to time so "see you around" is right, Matt

Barb, I haven't visited the forum in quite a long time and I just want to say I'm happy I"m an "old forum" member and got to know you.......it was great when quite a few of us got together in some obscure chat room, Jon Larson was still with us and kept getting booted out so he'd buzz me to get back in, bums was a riot, Matt dropped his knickers ;D good times, good times. I'm really happy you're doing well and I miss ya #smileyhug#
