Unable to continue
Due to the poor health of both of my parents since December and the time I need for their care, I am unable to continue as administrator and moderator. I am happy to continue paying for Saintsational.
I am open to having a discussion on how the forums continue without my involvement and then seek the owners blessing for the handover.

Re: Unable to continue
Sorry to hear that BFUSA,
Don’t have any suggestions but thank you for the work you’ve put into the forum and it’s very generous/gracious of you to keep paying
Hope it all works out for your parents. They’re very lucky to have a child that is willing to care for them like that.

I'm sorry to hear about your family.
Good to see you have your priorities right. Maybe the Saints can bring your family some joy this year.

Re: Unable to continue
Thank you BFUSA for all your essential behind the scenes work.
Saintsational, I have to say, is pretty much and essential part of my life.
Where else would I find people to foist my footy opinions on?
Very much appreciated for what you've done, and for whoever takes over the task.

Sorry to hear about your family, SImon.
Hang in there. One just has to keep plugging along, don't they.
Thanks for all your personal efforts and financial contributions. I read this place everyday and it has helped me connect to the Club and like-minded while being so far away.
