    It was my absolute honor and privilege to have led the boards but the time has come for me to get a complete recharge of my batteries. I need to get back to my roots. First and foremost, I?m a films guy and I can?t get enough of talking about all the nuances. I love talking about the movies, the Clone Wars cartoons and the new TV show. I wanted to go out at the top of my game and at a time of peace and tranquility. There were many challenges I never knew I could handle. And I never knew how many joys and blessings there would be. The more time you invest, the more personal it becomes and what started off as a place to discuss Star Wars became a place where the day-to-day undulations of the boards affected me as well. When you really love something, you feel that way. And I love this place. I?ve come full circle. If this is full circle, then that means I?m where I started yet completely different. And if it?s a circle, it means it has no end. I am going nowhere but back on the boards. I plan on getting heavily involved in the Clone Wars cartoon discussions, Indiana Jones 4, the PT Forum, and the television series. I need to be amongst the public forums for a long time. I want to get all refreshed again.

    The end of the Old Republic is over and I am passing on the torch to one of the lights of my life ? rhonderoo. What an amazing leader she has become and will be. I think the world of her and I am so excited of all she will do as head admin. There is no better choice than her. She will do bigger and better things than I have done. I have foreseen it. Help me in congratulating Rhonda in her new role as head admin and give three cheers as we crack the blue milk bottle against the Millennium Falcon. The role left vacant in the Communications Forum will be filled by none other than our very own ObiWan506. He has grown into a wise and compassionate leader, able to see both sides and perspectives, and his ideals and values are precisely what?s so vital in the success of this place and quite frankly the world. With LAJ_FETT, I feel the torch is in the hands of a cohesive, wonderful set of new leaders.

    May the Force be with you?.

    Always.

    Your friend,

    DarthSapient

    Good luck in your new pursuits. Wear your new red colors proudly and don't be a stranger.

    Congrats Rhonderoo and Obiwan506 in your new responsibilities. I know you will both be hard workers and take the job seriously. Visit us in AIM chat soon.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it was a pleasure to work alongside/under you, and I'm sad to see you go. You'll always be missed and revered by me.

    Oh Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when you would step aside, Sape :(

    Roo and ObiWan506 have large roles to fill indeed in taking your place.


    Enjoy your retirement! You've done a lot for the community and you deserve it [:D]

    Sape, what can I say? You've been an admin for as long as I can remember. Your good looks and wise judgment have shaped the boards and your yellow/black combination was a fashion trend setter literally years ahead of its time. I'll miss your sound replies and impeccable comedic timing, but I look forward to your thoughts around the boards. [face_love]

    :( I know you said you didn't want a lot of fanfare, but you've been doing this... as long as I've been a user. You know how I feel about your leadership, and have learned a lot from you and I won't repeat ad nauseum what I said in PM and MS. This is a well deserved rest, but we'll still miss you. I can't imagine MS or Comms not having yellow and black in the header, or seeing it all up and down the left hand column when you log on. Please don't be a stranger and good luck with getting back into the groove again. [:D]

    congrats, Roo, Obi-Wan506, & Laj on all your new responsibilities and roles! couldn't have picked a better team, imo. :cool:

    I put in a good word for you, Rhonderoo, when I turned down Sapient's offer to take over. You better thank me.

    I'm getting yellow banner requests for Comms. [face_mischief] So get out your sunglasses people. I know it's bright :cool:, but just as a gesture, we'd like to do it for a short bit.

    I've looked at this so much, I'm actually adjusted to it now. It's the normal images that hurt my eyes now.

    Whether I agreed with things or not, you were always a fair admin. Not one too proud to change you mind either. What more can one ask of you.

    A most deserved rest, though it feels strange to think of the boards without Teh Yellow. It was alwasy like the sun rising when you came to MS. lol

    Roo, I know you'll be a grand Head Admin.

    ObiWan506, congrats and you too will be awesome.

    I can't even put into words how sad this makes me. Your leadership has been an example (a good one before anyone twists my meaning! :p ) to us all.
