My involvement here on RWO...

... is going to have to be less in 2006 than it has been in previous years. I'm working with a couple of people from Bigfooty on a new project that I'm going to be in charge of, and it's going to take the vast majority of my internet time. It's going to be closer to my intellectual (and hopefully one day professional) interests... so it's exciting in that regard.

I'd like to pass the TLM off - if there's anyone here that wants to do it, they get first call, then the non-mods on RWO Staff, then somebody new if noone else is interested. It's been fun, but there's not a lot about it that's new and interesting any more. The one thing I want to be guaranteed is that the name isn't changed.

As for moderating, I'd like to reduce my role, but I'm open to continuing to some extent. I'm happy enough to continue editing/deleting if I see something, but the truth is I don't see a lot of threads now, and I'll see even less once my new site starts up. Perhaps the best way to do this is to remove my name from the RWO Chat and CA boards. If I'm not officially a mod on any one board, I'll be able to just go about doing the job quietly to the extent that my time allows.

Articles... well, I do very few of them these days as it is. I'll probably get bored enough after the draft to repeat my player review that I did last year. That's likely to be it.

I'll put my hand up if no one else is interested.

Cheers Scott. I realised after posting this last night that it's only fair that Bron has first call, after all the help she has given me with making the presentations over the years. If she doesn't want it, it's yours.

Thanks for that Charlie - I should put my retirement plans into gear soon too! We need to decide what to do with hosting etc in December.

Must admit I've gotta put my hand up to admit my involvement is going to decrease a lot next year too - for those I haven't told in a fit of excited squealing and jumping up and down, I've just accepted a job with NSWAFL working in with the talent programs from U12-U18s, and things like the Apprentice scheme etc etc. Basically it means a fair amount of travel for me from January onwards, so I'm not going to be around so much. Like Charlie, I'm happy to keep checking in and dealing with anything I see needing attention, but it's not going to be as regular as it has been in the past.

Des, speaking of hosting etc, what are we considering doing? Ask for donations, hold an event of some kind (raffle, trivia night etc?) or maybe consider just letting things go or something?

Des - I just had a spark of inspiration. Why don't you talk to Appleyard about hosting?

- He's looking to expand his network of sites anyway (my site will be part of this expansion).
- He's currently working on a new 'club portals' project that incorporates the team boards, the blogs and general info about the clubs anyway - RWO would serve those roles brilliantly.
- It solves one of his frustrations - Bigfooty's inability to attractthe majority of the Swans fans on the web.

I think he'd be interested. He provides hosting, and RWO becomes the 'Swans portal'. Rob's Swansblog content plus the RWO content would make it clearly the best of the lot. The RWO messageboards could remain independent of the BF ones, though AA would most likely want to put a banner ad or two in. Small price to pay.

Bron would like to continue her role (making the book and arranging the presentation with the club), but she'd prefer not to do the week-to-week bit that I did.

Bump.

New site could be started by the weekend. Can you please remove me from the moderator lists?

I'm not fussed much whether I remain a mod, but I won't be here as much and it's not going to work very well if people keep PMing enquiries/complaints/suggestions etc to me. I get a lot of those, presumedly because my name is first on the list.

I'll keep doing the job unofficially if you wish, but that is up to admin.

Guys, just letting you all know I'm away for the next two weeks with work, so will have very limited RWO access so won't be doing much modding or anything.
