Also, along with this, all members that were banned for one reason or another other that being PROVEN a criminal are immediately reinstated. They are free to log on and post whatever they want.
Yeah and I have this thing about reinstatement at the same time.
So Karmatose is back and Sparky is out. Seems like a fair trade.

Guys, other than 1 post for the MAACA crests, I have been gone for over 2 weeks and no one noticed. The only reason I posted was to advise of the new policy before you found out for yourselves and be surprised. That's all.
Now to clarify things:
1- I no longer want to post anymore. Some take everything I write too damn seriously.
2- I will no longer exercise my admin rights and will hand them over to someone else.
3- My account will remain open for PMs.
4- I am still and will still restore games as long as there is a demand. My business will probably drop by doing what I have decided to do but so be it.
5- I have decided to unban most members that I have banned. You are all big enough to run things yourself.
6- I just want to breathe and not have to worry about dealing with crap every night.
7- Yes, I am still going to Allentown.
8- Anyone can still come over and have a beer. My door is always open.
Every forum need an admin to rules the place and banned the bad people. I hope you will give this authority to someone else and keed the banned people banned !
Ps: escape from bad people is not the way to make an improvement hope you come back later to continue to share your passion and knowledge with us !

Afraid I think MAACA needs someone to keep it aligned. It's a thankless and crappy job. Like many SANE members, I find it hard to believe you get PMs for some of the stupid things that happen -- I don't doubt it just find it incredible people bother.
I hope you reconsider, but if not, then someone should take over admin rights; otherwise the place will go downhill quickly. I've never seen an unmoderated board work. There is always going to be some yahoo that wants to stir the pot.
