8 years ago+37 37 0Thank you all
I've sincerely enjoyed my time here, even though this tribe has required very little in the way of moderation. However, the time has come for me to log off and I don't know when I'll be back, if ever. I am therefore renouncing my ownership to leave it to someone else's caring hands. I hope the rules I've established provide a good foundation for future moderation and that they enable future growth of this community. So again I thank you and bid you adieu.
