Sparky Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hey everyone :) There will be a change of site ownership in July. As you may of noticed already, Stephen (Stephend2000) is an Admin. He'll be getting used to the admin side of things until he takes over as the new site owner in July. I know that Coldplaying will be in safe hands with him and he's done a fantastic job with the new forums, after the old ones were having database problems. I'll be around until July. I'm giving the site away because it's extremely life consuming to run (Just invented a word I think but that's the most accurate!). It's been a fun 2 years but I've done what I can and the site's still running, so i'm happy with that :) I'm going to the Rio concert in Brazil anyway and i'll be at many of the UK/European tour gigs so exciting times coming up still ;) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisbe Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sparky, hope you're not leaving the forums too. It would be really sad if you say goodbye definitely. Thanks for the amazing job you've done. I joined the forums around the time you were the new owner and I've had a great experience sharing my thoughts with everyone here. Welcome to Stephen. He's been doing a great job and I'm sure he'll be doing it for the time to come! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sad to see Sparky go/stop being the owner, but I can definitely understand that keeping the site running does take a lot of time!

gentleparachute Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Marc, I am sorry to hear that you are giving away the running of this website. Many of the older fans who have been around here for awhile remember the big drama and chaos when Ian (aka busybeeburns) and Jen called time on their running of this site (and the boards) - thanks for saving us then and being this site's and all Coldplayers' guardian angel the past couple of years - you have done a magnificent job and been a real :angel: for us all! I am so grateful that you stepped in when you did, and this has allowed this website and so much of it's history (and fandom) to continue on these past few years - I hope all of us here never forget that. You deserve a medal from Coldplay themselves for keeping their fandom alive. THANK YOU MARC!!! :heart: Stephen, :drinking: to you mate! You are taking over a site with a lot of history and passionate fans - I hope you will find this experience rewarding and not too daunting. All of Coldplaying (and arguably the band themselves) owe you our gratitude and I am grateful that there is someone else taking over the site so Coldplaying can live on. You have been amazing so far and I am sure we are in capable hands! Viva la Coldplaying! :loveshower: P.S. Marc, I'm sure I'm not the only one who hopes to see you around the boards even if you are no longer webmaster ;) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephie Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What gentleparachute said, basically! (Always so articulate.) Thanks so much for saving this site and invaluable piece of fandom, Sparky! Back then I was so afraid it would be the end. You did an amazing job! Best wishes to you, Stephen, and most of all: have fun! Up&up&up! :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa42 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Marc, I have no words to convey the amount of gratitude we have to you for saving the forum and giving us back our home. The amount of time, effort, sweat and love you have devoted to Coldplaying is insurmountable. For that we will be forever grateful. I wish you the best of everything and look forward to hearing about your future adventures. I'm just going to cry a little bit and then smile to your new future and journey 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
