I'm stepping down as the Zone owner..

[Steve]

After a lot of thought, I going to step down as the Zone owner.

I'm holding the zone back atm due to my personnal life and work are just to busy, I just don't have time anymore to keep the zone upto scratch. Also want to finish my car project that I never seem to get around to ;)

The Zone needs a new owner to get it moving again, I've done my bit for nearly 3 years, time for someone else to bring some new life into it.

soooo...

In the true tradition of the Zone, I'm not going to sell it but pass it on. The person I'm going to give it to is more involved with the zone than I will ever be also has the know how on how to look after the site.

So I would like you welcome the new owner.... Adam (E30 Adam) as of now he is the new owner of the zone.

I will still be around helping out as much as I can (might be nice to read a few post !)

Thanks for the hard work the team and all the Zone members have put into this place to make it what it is today.

End of an era........... nope just the begining

Cheers

Steve

thanks for all the effort and good work you've put in in the 3 years to create the best bmw site on the net imo.
as you say its not the end it's just the beginning. i think adam should be able to keep us all in check.

since the year dot of the e30zone.

I would just like to say a big thanks and i am sure this counts for most other zoners.

you have done a great job bringing the old and the new zone to us avid fans of the e30 (nutcases that we are)

and i do hope to see you at a meet sometime in the future.

also a big cheer this end for Adam getting to run the zone
if i was in a pub i would be having a for the both of you

[A1BMW325iSport]

I`ve been on here a while now its been great, my thanks to you anyway mate for doing such a great job, all the best

Matt

[billgatese30]

All i can say is thankyou

you have brought joy to thousands, litterally.

make sure you pop in when you can and let us know how the project goes, good luck with it, and everything else in your life from here on in.

take a break fella, you deserve it.

Also, congrats to Adam, i had a felling something was afoot, when you started fiddling more and deciding to show yourself as admin, rather than remain inconspicuous. i guess this was the announcement that you were on about. never thought you meant anything anywhere near as serious as this, i thought you were kidding

good luck steve, and may adam bring us as much success as you have.



have a drink on me mate

[Adam318i]

Well done Steve, you have put alot of hard work in and its paid off!

Good luck to Adam, and im sure he can keep this nuthouse in check

Adam

[Andy325i]

Your a top bloke steve. As everyone says good luck for the future and keep us up to date with your projects (wonders what mad things you have planned hehe!)

If I had to give you one title it would have to be:
"The one person who's hard efforts have done more than any other to save so many of the E30's in the world today"

Words don't do you justice mate


Andy

[debse30]

get yourself a beer from the zone pub hun...
thanx for the BEST site ever!!

[Andy325i]

Just made me think:

"Steve doesn't make beer, but if he did it would probably be the best beer in the world"


Andy

[buster]

Hi steve,cant have been easy making that decision,and i can see your point of view and understand that its for the best and the good of the e30zone you are doing this.
Well done on creating such a good site.
The power of god may go to adams head only joking adam.
I did meet you once at rockingham,you spoke to me when i had my car in the pit garage at the end and afterwards i felt really stupid as i didnt realise who you were even though you said your name was steve .

[Karan]

legend!!!

[Jhonno]

Altho i dont know you and have never spoken to you the Zone wouldnt be what it is without you having done your bit to kick it off..

Therefore i'll say sorry to hear your going, and thank you for what you've done

I think Adam is the right person to continue what you have started

[eko]

GOOD LUCK

[woodysjw]

Hi Steve, thanks for making the Zone and I am sure Adam will carry on keeping the site as alive as it has become, I am on here so often I forgot what else i used to use the Internet for.

Thanks

[DemonDaz]

I know you have been thinking of this for a while, not an easy decision. I would like to say thanks (not that I'll se you soon anyway) but I can't. Catherine has forbidden it. Apparently you have spent all my money, and the banks on a bl00dy E30!

[eun]

on creating such a great site
