It was time for the geezer to move out of the way. The new generation has a lot of dedication, energy and good ideas that they're implementing, as you see with the new setups. Plus, I felt it was detrimental to the arena for a staff member to be pushing an elitist attitude, and I tend to do that. Too hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
That said, AvA is, and always will be, the reason I fly in AH. Now I can enjoy it and relax.

RGR that Sir, I think that may have been one of the reasons why I was such a short timer as staff. It was very rewarding at times for me, but hard to let go of some things. I really appreciate the time (which was a very long time) that you dedicated to the AVA, and was really happy to see you in there tonight.
The AVA is evolving, I see some very exciting things and yet I miss some very exciting things too. Maybe the current Staff could see their way clear to bringing back a few of the old set-ups. Seems even us old guard had a few crowd pleasers. I miss the P38J and L , P47,P51 vs 109G2, G6, K4, 190D9, BF110 set ups, with an actual historical basis.
I am sure they will come around again, given time.
