I can appreciate how difficult and time consuming it can be to be a webmaster.

Everyone deserves a break from responsibility.

life has its problems and we all make decisions that change our direction to improve life.

If you are happier to be in a less demanding role then that is what you must do.  It works wonders in preventing grey hairs ;-)

Stick around though, things are just getting interesting and now you will be able to see them from a more comfortable distance.

Good luck! :-)

Wayne, thanks for all the hard work.

Sometimes it's just plain good to turn back into an average user again and have no major responsibility towards the Community. Been there, done that :-)

@Minuous,

Have a nice day.

@Everyone else,

Too bad you didn't sign up for AmiWest.  Looks like it's going to be the best yet.  More to come.

Wayne

When I first started surfing the web back in 1995, I was using my Amiga 2000HD over a 14.4Kbps dialup, using AmiTCP/IP 4.0 demo version, Holger Kruse's ppp.device and Amiga Mosaic.

In those days I usually visited "The Amiga Web Directory" for the nightly Amiga news.

Then one night I came across Amiga.org and I knew I had found a new place to catch up on all the news, and see people discussing many topics, including the past and future of the Amiga.  In many ways, Amiga.org provided a ray of hope for a community waiting in the wings for someone to bring back the Amiga.

I would like to thank you for all your patience and dedication to the Amiga community and for all your hard work to keep this site going over the years.  You provided a place where we could come and chat and talk and discuss and argue and sometimes fight about topics that were near and dear to us.

I wish you the very best as you take the time to work out your family obligations and your professional obligations.

I look forward to hearing from you again.  There will always be room at Amiga.org for another person and another opinion.

Thanks,

redfox

Wayne,

I thank you for a long and entertaining tenure as webmaster here. Although I have at times come to disagree with what you have said on certain issues, it does not blind me to the fact that you have created a major on-line Amiga community. The best. I am deeply grateful for your work devoted to this site.

Best of luck with your future.

Kindest regards

Stan :-)

Wayne, your tolerance of the best and worst of the community has been an example to us all. Now you are showing us the most important lesson yet - there is LIFE out there, away from these stupid computers.

Best wishes

tony

Hi Wayne,

Like everybody already said: good luck with everything you do! :-D

I'm looking forward to your contributions here.
(In the past I had the feeling you were holding back)
I think the future will be very interesting here at Amiga.Org with you as contributing editor :-D :-D

Best wishes,

spidey

Well, this hit me like a Gamma bomb.

Very understandable, though. If I don't come back for a couple of days, it's a major job catching up on what's gone by (and I miss not being here a couple days, too). It's so busy here and you do so much more than just read posts to "catch up" on the goings on. And the pay sucks too, I'll bet. But, how can you measure that warm fuzzy feeling?

What's left to say that hasn't been?

If this was a pc x86 thing, you'd be written up in magazines. You have a website running for near as long as the internet (recognized in its' present form) was in peoples bedrooms, and now livingrooms and in fact everywhere, almost. The web site is half as old as the computer itself, and must be high in the oldest sites list.

There are other great Amiga sites too, but this is about this one.

The diverse topics that can and are discussed here, impresses me. And, this IS a computer website, so that says alot.

So, I'd say you made an A1 site here, but it's an opinion, my opinon. Dare I say legend?

In closing, I greatly appreciate that there was a person like you around, who was willing to put up with the turmoil of an on again/off again saga of a "mere" electronic device, and in an unmeasurable amount, are helping save it from dissolution which does not deserve to be its' fate.


Thank You Wayne Hunt. (Others share this opinion, don't know how many though :-D.)
