Part of the furniture here for many years & in my opinion done a top job in looking after the place.
Thanks for all the comments, I had to double check to see I hadn't died as it is a bit like an obituary I will still be around as VIP just need to focus more on projects I have running and ones that have been on the back burner way too long.
You have a great team of staff and unlike years gone by there is no in house bitching which helps them work together, for me the fun/enjoyment had gone out of it and that has always been my reason for doing it, this is not something I have decided on a whim I have been considering stepping down for a long time as I am sick of having every decision questioned and answer argued when you are either trying to keep members aware of what is going on or acting on other members complaints this just made me decide I have more self serving things I could and should be doing.
As I say I will be around, I'm not dead or dying (as far as I am aware) and will continue to post.

All the best BB.
I think everyones said just about how I feel about this matter, and I never got to know the guy.
....also I dont know if this is a bad time....but i'm pregnant....
Top fella !, you will be missed as a admin!
I STINK GET OVER IT !
Thanks BB for doing a great job, but as Goldberg said, take a break and see how you feel.
It might be worth pointing out or just reminding that these days Rap lives in anther Time Zone BEHIND GMT so please be patient if your VIP or DONATOR status has not been updated, it has to be done manually and he WILL do it. If you've gone a couple of days by all means message a member of staff and we can flag it for you. . . . above all please be patient, your contributions are oh so very welcome. . .
Sorry for the thread hijack but everyone is reading in here. . .
Had the pleasure of meeting BB a couple of times, a while back, also spent a good few hours on COD in the days of the 'League'
Can honestly say he has earned his respect on here, certainly opened my eyes with his views on social and political matters.
As has been said many times, stick around if you can, your input often makes for interesting reading.
Not on here much these days but always enjoy reading your comments in the news section
Thanks for all the hard work!
I dont uinderstand why anyone would moan or cause trouble, seems pointless act to me. And a shame that this is the outcome.
Always sad when people feel they need step down because of other peoples actions. Good luck BB.
I've always enjoyed reading your contributions BB, some I've agreed with, some not so much, but that's what makes this place interesting. If we all agreed we would be boring. It is a sad state of affairs when you have to step down due to some idiots, especially when you are doing what you do voluntarily. I hope that you will still be contributing as it would be a massive loss to DF if you were to walk away completely.
All the best BB.

EDIT: Just seen your earliest post, glad to see you're sticking around
muttleymacclad (24th May 2014)
116 posts already on this thread shows how appreciated you are here on DF by the majority of the members.
Shame to see you step down and hope to see you back as admin one day.
I've always thought you were a cunt and I'm glad to see the back of you.
It's all been said already, but good luck with your future projects, and thanks for everything you've done.
Only been a member for a week or so so find it a bit hard to know what to say other than GRAB YOUR NUTSACK AND GET BACK AS ADMIN NOW! Chin up BB, forums are all about info, help, moaning and groaning but it must be a pain in the rear but I'm just a bit puzzled as to what he means by "Whine and complain?" Is it people complaining about things in life such as politics, dodgy bankers, crap games, getting their free*cough digi TV turned off etc or is it a total different type of moaning thats made him stop being Admin?
Heres a tune to get you back in a good mood

wish you all the best mate.

Well thanks Rap.. The way the original post topic was written made me think poor old BB had popped his cloggs .... Had to double check on IRC. (Heart nearly dropped)
Sorry to see you had to take this action BB but your own sanity and well being come first. Knowing you on IRC and xbox live and know you can be a right grumpy old so and so (Victor meldrew springs to mind especially when Black Belt nicks your kills )
But should have been the moaning few who should have taken the bullet not you.
Being an admin is a thankless task most of the time and a lot of work goes on behind the scenes that a lot of people don't know or would understand...... Rap must feel like he has lost his right hand.
(wonder if you would consider a freelance admin role )
Hope you stay on and post bollocks like the rest of us and some day feel the need to kick, ban, change avatars & Signatures once more..
Chin up BB and have a beer or two.. And thanks for all your hard work over the years, from this forum and your business ventures.
