nForums.net _ Announcements _ Our Loss...

Posted by: Blue_Muppet Apr 19 2004, 09:47 AM

It is my sad duty to report that wizzard is leaving the nFm Team.

Due to personal reasons, Wiz is no longer a part of our Team or our Staff.

This is one of the saddest moments in the history of nFm. For those of us still left from the early days, and there is not many, you will remember Wiz from right back at the beginning. He has been like a rock to so many, always here and always willing and able to lend a hand.

The countless members, regardless of rank or friendship, that have been helped by Wiz could never be properly conveyed in a posted message. He has been the most intergral part of our community, and i cannot fathom a worse loss to our ranks than to lose him.

But alas, we understand his decision, and although sad to see him depart as a Team member, we will be forever grateful for having had him with us.

I mean it when i say that nForums would not be here today without Wiz. He has proved as loyal and valuable a member as possible, and our Team will be lacking without him.

We wish you the best of luck Wiz, and we are all behind you mate, regardless. Know that you always have a place here amongst us, and we will always be here for you if you need us.

Wiz is now the second member of our reinstated VIP rank. This rank cannot be removed, and conveys the greatness of the members dedication and love for our community.

Our thoughts are with you Wiz,

Regards,
nFm Admin

Saddest day in nForums history. sad.gif sad.gif

Thanks for your post Admins.

Not really much to add to what you said, except what I sent to you guys in the first place with Wiz's request.

QUOTE
On a personal note, and I'm sure you will all agree, it's a sad day for nFm to see Wiz go. He is one of the founders of our community and it would have been nothing without him. I would never have been a Team member but for him. I would also never have returned to nFm after leaving had it not been for him. I owe him a great deal.


I feel honoured and privileged to call Wiz a friend and to have him call me friend, (or more often, brother). He made this board what it is and some of us what we are.

Isaac Newton once said he was, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants". There are a great many here at nFm who are doing just that. I certainly am. smile.gif

We love you Wiz. wub.gif

Not much too add, except that I hope that wiz is gonna stay in contact with us. Even if it's just an update every month or so. I'm not lieing when I say that I'm gonna miss ya wiz.

I'm honoured to be your bro!

Like bear said: We love you Wiz!!!

Posted by: spektrum Apr 19 2004, 02:32 PM

Mos def a great loss to nFm.

I hope you come back to visit us and have a safe journey towards your new path in life.

Much respect.

Posted by: Awai Apr 19 2004, 03:08 PM

good luck mr wiz, where ever you go it has been a pleasure knowing you. call in from time to time.

Awai.

Posted by: Songi Apr 19 2004, 03:17 PM

No one ever likes moments like these. If i had my way I would not allow him to leave, selfish i know, but i do not like losing friends. I hope you the best mate, and please drop in from time to time, it would be great to keep hearing from you.

Posted by: PimpScourge Apr 19 2004, 04:05 PM

Without Wiz, nFm wouldn't be still around. Plain and simple. Please keep in touch, and thanks for everything you have done for our community.

Posted by: boxcrash Apr 19 2004, 04:40 PM

Dang, Wiz this sucks but I totally understand. Best of luck and stuff to yous. biggrin.gif

Posted by: zoyoff Apr 19 2004, 05:12 PM

This is a very sad day for all of us.

Take care my friend and all the best for all of your futur plan.

Your still the greatest of them all.

Best regards

ZoyOff

Posted by: Rogue Znowman Apr 19 2004, 05:53 PM

Wow. This was the last thing I was expecting to see today.

When you say he's no longer part of the team, does that mean he's also no longer part of the forum? Or will he still be around as a member?

Wiz. Thank you for being you. You've honored us for a long time, and always been a great help to whoever needed you. I have come to have the utmost respect for you, and I know if you decided to leave then you must have a good reason for it.

Good luck in your future endeavors. (Although I'm sure you won't need it).

Again, thank you.

- Rogue Znowman

Posted by: captbics Apr 24 2004, 08:15 PM

Wiz,

Just when I come back to nforums, you are leaving. Before nforums went away, you were the most prodigious "utility" poster from my point of view. Sorry to hear you're leaving, but GOOD LUCK!

I can sum up my feelings on Wiz's departure in one word .... TRAGEDY! crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif

Posted by: dewey999 Apr 25 2004, 04:31 PM

Wizzard was a great help to me on the old board. He will definitely be missed.

Posted by: Maggietobias Apr 26 2004, 03:29 PM

Wizzard is tops. Found him to be extremely helpful to members, tremendous poster of photo related material etc.

Extremely sorry to see him go

Maggietobias

Posted by: Zone55555 May 3 2004, 01:01 AM

Awww, this sucks! I only just find out that the board is back online, get registered back up, and now wizzard is gone?!?

Sorry to see you go man, hopefully you'll hang around as a community member - you helped me out a ton in the past, and I won't forget it! Thumbs up to you!

Posted by: wizzard May 3 2004, 01:38 AM

Hey all reading all this, Brakes my heart to pieces. I feel all warm with all this good words. i appriciate all of you and yes i will be around (once in a while). There has been to manny missleadings but hey where can i find community like this one, with all the great people like you all.

Thank you verry much.

Posted by: Haroc May 4 2004, 03:45 PM

hmmm, im a little bit late for this, but i remember what Wizzard did for the community before the board went down and it was great, will be sad to see you go and take your wisdom smile.gif

Thanks Wiz.

Posted by: D1nK May 5 2004, 02:40 AM

MMMM.. Even though i don't post here much anymore (still brower every now and then)


Wizzard it's hard to see you go. You were there for me alot of the time and first real friend I met on this board back in the day. Dont' know what else to say.

You'll Be missed ...


Thanks For EVerything...

Posted by: trinity000 Jun 2 2004, 03:25 PM

Wiz you certainly will be missed i remember back in the old days of the board when you helped me set up my ftp over ICQ! lol man that was ages ago.

Best of Luck, try not to get out of touch i did for quite awhile and regret it.

Posted by: Deepone Jun 2 2004, 07:44 PM

ftp over icq ? hm.. that sounds kinda fun call smile.gif how hard that kinda thing would be to setup I wonder ?

Posted by: trinity000 Jun 2 2004, 10:51 PM

no no... that sentence read kind of wrong... he helped me set up my FTP. While we were talking over icq.... he used icq to walk me through it.

Posted by: Zone55555 Jun 2 2004, 11:48 PM

trinity! Good to see you back, man! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Deepone Jun 3 2004, 03:29 PM

You know not how accurately you speak...
-----ManX rises from the dead-----

Any of the old fogies still alive around here?

Bearsland - Where's my Bear?
Wizzard - You still cruising through?
Kilroy - How's your grades?
Twine - Your sense of humor still bizarre?
Artzelda - Have you vanished?
Awai - Are you gone away?
Captbics - Do you still laugh a lot?
Deepone - Have you disappeared into Finn Air?
DutchKid - You're gone, 'eh? No Kidding?
FireWiz - My best friend here - You went out in a blaze of glory?
Forbin - Naught but a ghost in the machine?
Hipgnosis - Mesmerized, but not forgotten?
Krip730 - Long since laid in your crypt?
Messenger - Not a message to be found?
PimpScourge - Are you still pimpin' your ride?
Rogue Znowman - Have you melted away?
Sailcat (not leaving) - Left long ago?
Slace - Have you saved me a place, Slace?
Spidermanx - You stole (part of) my name; have you stolen away?
Streetwise - Still paving the Catwalk?
Tozer - The "Kitten of Destiny" has wandered off?
Tykatt (stuck around) - Didn't stick around after all, did you?

... and many others I didn't know as well, or who have come (and gone) since I faded away.

<sigh>

Life is change, and that is good. But not all change is good; the slipping away of friends and characters in Life's Long Run... sucks.

Stagnation = comfort, even if it also = Death.

Greetings to all who still grace this place. I miss you.

I hope everyone has had a great start to 2007. I think I'll stop in here more often just to say hi, if nothing else.

I'm ashamed to say it, but I've been a total lurker since I've been effectively homeless for the past 12months. Glad to say that I've now got a house... and a broadband connection. All I have to do is find some time, and we'll be posting decent content again... still it's good to keep in touch on occasion.

Cheers guys,
