Mr 5 0 steps down as Admin/Moderator

StangFlyer · 09-03-2002, 08:51 PM

Unfortunately, Jim Sweeters (aka Mr 5 0) has stepped down as the message board administrator and a moderator on Mustang Works. He's had to devote much more time to other things that have come up in his life during this year, and no longer feels he has adequate resources to devote to keeping up with the task. I've respected his wishes, and the entire Mustang Works staff thanks him for all his hard work and greatly appreciates all he has contributed to the MW community by overseeing the forums.

Although he will no longer be an admin, or moderator, he is still a member of the site. Hopefully he will find some time around recent events and other commitments in his life to visit us from time to time.

Jim I hope you still stick around mustangworks because you always had great advise and a level head about every situation.

The Sandman · 09-03-2002, 09:30 PM

Thanks for spending such a great deal of your time to make our site so much better.
Stick around, and good luck with whatever comes up!

Stang_Crazy · 09-03-2002, 09:41 PM

Jim, thank you for all of the advise you provided for myself and for the many other stangers out there. Not only did you give excellent advise but many times, you were also the voice of reason on these boards. I hope you stick around or drop in to see us when you have the time.

joe4speed · 09-03-2002, 09:50 PM

Well I'm surprised, for one, to read this.
Good luck Jim, you've been around ever since I can remember, I know how you can get wrapped up in real life. Stop by and say hi, I hope all goes well with you. Take care. Thanks for all the advice over the years, it has not gone unnoticed.

jj_jonathon · 09-03-2002, 09:52 PM

I'm sorry to see you go. You're opinions were always looked upon in the highest esteem. Thank you for the effort and time you've contributed from your own life into making this a great site. Sometimes your way with words shone years of knowledge (and entertainment) for the younger members. Thanks again and have fun away from the computer!

Skyman · 09-03-2002, 10:03 PM

I heard rumor of this, Im disappointed to hear that its true, Im sure will still see a good amount of Mr 5.0 around though, right?

Jim....I'd just like you thank you for all the help and advice you've given me over the course of my two years here. I am truly sad you will no longer be the admin. of MW. I hope that you will still have time to come see us. I hope everything in your personal life works out

Best of luck,
Josh, aka the tireburner

DITTO! I'm really sorry to see its true, and that you are leaving....I for one have enjoyed your posts, and have the utmost respect for you and your advice.

The boards wont be the same...I dont know of anyone else who is so well rounded and knowledgeable about SO MANY different subjects....

You've been a big help to me, and a source of encouragement, and I appreciate all youve done for the forum and for myself as well....

Best of luck to you Jim..and I hope that you enjoy your new 'freed-up' time doing something that you really enjoy!!! I do hope you will still be here with us and not just lurk......
Keep in touch, and best wishes to ya!
Take Care,Jim

StoplightWarrior · 09-03-2002, 11:15 PM

Good luck in all your pursuits, jim. See you around the boards, hopefully.

Crazy Horse GT · 09-03-2002, 11:23 PM

WHAT? jim , im sorry , i hope everything goes ok, what a shock, dont be a stranger, we, will miss your wisdom, good luck & take care. marty.

zepherman · 09-03-2002, 11:51 PM

Sorry to see that your not moderating the windsor forum anymore, and i hope that we will continue to see your posts on the boards. We'll see if this Dan McClain guy, whoever he is, can do the job as well as you did.

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 09-04-2002, 12:09 AM

That is just too bad. I hope you continue to stick around and help me with political firepower for my stupid classmates

Later,

Mercury · 09-04-2002, 12:23 AM

Jim.

Regardless of your status at Mustang Works, you are a part of the Family here. Thats all that really matters, not if your a moderator, a administrator, or what ever.

I presume you'll be sticking around and still giving the excellent advice, guidance, and just all round being a good friend.

You are definetly one of the reasons why Mustang Works is the great site that it is.

P.S. Thanks for getting most of my spelling errors throught the years.

mustangman65_79 · 09-04-2002, 12:24 AM

It's too bad that u are leaving us. MAny of us looked at u as a father fiqure for that the advice u have given us in the past was golden. Your words spook none truer <--looks wrong?) and were always correct. U will be truly missed and waited apon your arrival to the site again.

95mustanggt · 09-04-2002, 05:24 AM

Mr. 5.0....Well you were the very first person I got advice from here, and I'm probably not the only one who can say that.

Sometimes just being a member here can take up enough time, I can imagine an Administrator/Moderator takes more yet (except that Hammer guy he's always slacking

).

I'm not sorry to see you go, cause your not, your still going to be a member!

I don't know how much less time you'll spend on the boards, but if you are anything like me you'll be drawn back here time, and time again.

The site is what it is today largely due to your contributions. Dispite Dan's In-human Efforts, you have helped to create this Fantastic online magazine, for that, I thank you.

The RHC Salutes you!

MTU 50 · 09-04-2002, 08:46 AM

Good Luck with your situation M r 5.0.

I too have enjoyed your more informative posts, especially the political ones.

silver_pilate · 09-04-2002, 09:01 AM

Nope 95Mustanggt, you're not the only one.

I remember when I first joined the site way back in the day, Jim was right there to answer some of my first questions.

Jim, you've been very helpful and a great asset to these boards. I hope you'll continue your input and don't be a stranger.

Mustangbelle306 · 09-04-2002, 09:48 AM

Jim:

I had a feeling you'd leave eventually, you didn't seem to enjoy the position as much as when I first came to MW in early 2001

...whether it was the post counting or irritating newbies, I can't say I blame you!

Moderating had to be a full time job for ya! I hope you still poke your head in every once in a while to advise someone, or yell at some stupid liberal/person too lazy to use the Internet "search" function

Take care,

Belle
