Well its been a real pleasure forming this team and leading it:up: However all good things must come to an end.
I'll retire when we reach the top 50, that looks like 6 months tops away.
Lets make it quicker. Are we up to getting shot of me as quick as possible? ....................
Thought so, so lets make it happen.
And lets all look over the next 6 months at who we think would make a good replacement.
Regards
John.
What does retire mean? Stop folding? Stop chatting with us here? Go sailing around the world? Pull a UnG and disappear in a puff of logic only to mysteriously reappear 2 years later? :)
Not at all, I'll still fold and still post. I just feel that the team needs a new captain once we are in the top 50. I dont think my layed back style will cut it.
I hope to still be pushing for top ten on the team:D
Regards
John.
I'll let you in on a little secret John.Quote:

Your"laid back sytle"as you phrased it is perfect for this team.
I'll let you in on another little secret. If I wasn't so into WCG I'd be here just because of you..Respect and admiration, that simple.
So please rethink your plans my friend.
I think you style is just fine for the team.You have kept this thing rolling so I guess you know whats best.I would have no problem with you staying as the leader.Are you sure your not just tired of saying "post the log file here and I will look at it."?
Anyways thanks for all the support you have given to team 36362 :clap:

I've always enjoyed & paid note of your posts ever since the great ex[ḫ]odus of 2002 that brought us both here.
I vote Πυθαγόρας six more years!
Your unwavering involvement got this team where it is. There's something to be said for endurance, just ask the little lady ;)
So what is it, 6-7 years of folding... achievement of it's own :cool:
I've been at F@H ~2,5 years and feels like ages already
Can understand the need to take some slack... Captain has guided us through really rough places :clap: ... I'll stop to this cause I'm about to start babble...
...just :bows:
I just ckd. the calender and it is not April 1st. I haven't been drinking so it's got to be the glasses, (note to self: have eyes ckd.)
My hearing is ok and i hear the drums beating from the restless natives. The drums say John must be drinking :yepp: :)
Your style is perfect for us and we would be grateful if you would reconsider. :up:
Yep, perfect style for us laid back folders. ;)
See John, like Sally Fields at the Academy awards a few years ago:
They like me, they really like me"
Sorry pal, your in for a life term barring carpal tunnel or blindness..:D
:up: Keep at it John! Would be hard to replace an old skool folder like you :)Quote:

What's to be open about? As you've said, it's not about ego and you're quite open to whatever ideas we manage to come up with. Let's carry on. Folks seem content that our team style is laid back.
Except for Sparky. He's a total basket case, quite in contrast to my mild nearly asleep approach. I'd give him a wet willy but he's too far away :D
We seem to be doing well lately to boot. Besides, I like being able to raise cain elsewhere and just blame it all on the teams captain :lol: (I swear Pythogoras put me up to , honest Injun)
Is a wet willy universal:shocked:
Hi Pythagoras.........
Seems to me that your leadership style with your team is highly regarded....from one capn to another, keep up the good work and keep these XS folders in line :up: :up: :up:
Ex folder over n out :)
Hey I like the laid back style too generally, but every group just has to have a noisemaker! I just can't help it :shrug: :DQuote:

So be quiet, stop typing, grab a part time job and save up for a new Yorkie and make this team grow. The Yorkies use less power and run cooler.
That ought to make the missus happy when she sees the electric bill!:up:
Of course, the XSDC cure-all medication - go buy more hardware :rofl:
But what about the credit card bill :shocked: :(
:rofl: :ROTF: :DQuote:

And what if we make sure it covers all of the clients while we're at it...
LIKE MY GUIDE......woot
Well organizing threads and guides is basic housekeeping from a Mod point of view (I cleaned up in here a couple years ago Pythogras you need a new maid :stick:) but has little to do with the team really.
I'll make a post with a link to the guides, we can sticky that one and let all the various guides drop as they'll be all in the one sticky.
We need to do more recruiting. This forum has a lot of members of whom the majority are not contributing to this team. Most of our members are running powerful PC's and we need to tap into that market in an effective way.
Any Ideas.
Yeah we defin need more people. :yepp:Quote:

We could go all hippy over them with flowers, birds and a message of peace. Or make a collage of people who died of cancer and in text "Why do you hate us?". Both ways will work.
Maybe I should change my sig to one of those uber-flashing-ultra-attention-getting-insanely-annoying banners :D
Stijndp has it correct, the majority of points for our team have been garnered by the loyal folders :up:
I'll just change my sig to "Fold for XS or I'll post nekkid pics of meself"
I like your simple way of thinking on this one :DQuote:

I think I'll wait until we are in the top 30 :eek:. Shouldnt be long now:up:

John.
THATS THE SPIRIT!!!
:D :cheer2:
Now I do realise your in England but Xs operates with USA law and like the US Military you can be "called up" and not left with a retirement option.Quote:

If life is busy then don't feel a need to login daily, once a week is fine but stay on my friend.:up:
