The Town Crier steps forward ringing his bell, as Tight , Lover, Bear and I wait patiently for the Forum Folks to gather... I am nervous, sad, excited.." Oyez , Oyez, Oyez," His cry rings out over our Forum Village and expectant faces gather in the square.As his cries trail off, I step forward and look at all my wonderful friends here."Ladies, Gentlemen, Friends ... As you are aware, my good friend and Mentor - Tightfit74- announced his retirement in the imminent future from the game and Forum. It is with a heavy heart that I Know he has made this decision and I also know, he has thought long and hard before he did so. He is not only a moderator here, he is a clothes designer, the erotic story contest manager, a brilliant role player, a massive story teller & poster who's stories will be read and re-read as a guide to those who try to learn the craft of role playing and story telling.His retirement will leave a gaping hole here which I am unsure anyone will really fill. But most of all , he is one of my dearest friends & I will miss him terribly... "I take a deep breath and smile at him, wiith tears in my eyes. And then brace myself."The other moderators of course discussed his replacement and they approached me recently to step up and asked if I would consider the role, I thought about it ... and it is with the greatest honour that I have accepted. I could never fill Tight's Shoes and have no intention of trying too but what I can say is, I will work relentlessly for the success of this game, Forum and the site itself. I believe in free speech and although I may not always agree with certain views , I respect the fact, everyone has a right to express their views in a polite and constructive way. Of course I will enforce the rules of the game and laws of the land like the other Moderators.I want the Forum to stay happy, friendly and busy, and I hope I can assist with the continued success I believe it already is. This success is of course due to all you wonderful Forum members working together and making it a pleasure to be a part of. And also the hard work of the Moderators who work relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure it all runs smoothly. I am honoured indeed to be asked to work with such a team.Thank you all for listening ... and I hope you also approve of my new position here.... "Take Care of you and of each other. I leave the stage and take a quiet swig of whiskey, " phew, I needed that"
