    Administrator Resignation

    As stated prior to the election, I am resigning my position as Forums Administrator since I have successfully been elected to the Board of Directors.

    Although there is nothing "in writing" saying that a Board Member cannot be a Forum Staff member (Administrator, Super Moderator, etc), this organization has had a few degrees of separation between the Board and the Forum Staff in order to prevent mistakes being made that another organization did prior to MGO's inception (and a big reason for MGO's inception). This wasn't fully possible "at first", but once the organization grew, Lance (former Administrator) created the separation for the above reasons, and I have upheld that separation since he left over a decade ago.

    Last year, my Co-Admin (Zigziggityzoo) and I brought G22 onboard as a Forums Administrator in order to prepare for my exit as the Forums Administrator. Zig has always served as our Server Admin (behind the scenes and under the hood) while I have served as the Forums Administrator where policy, procedure, training, rules changes/updates, etc have been concerned. G22 will do an excellent job of fully replacing me now that I am resigning and taking on my new role as a Board Member, leading the organization while G22 and Zig lead/manage the forums.

    I want to thank the members voting. I am honored and humbled by the unanimous support/votes, and I will do my absolute best to serve the Members of MGO as a Board Member.

    Thanks again,
    Tom DeRousie

    Thank you Tom for your long standing duties as Admin of Michigan Gun Owners most valuable asset, our message forum.

    It's always been a thankless job that is often been riddled with insults and threats. Being thick skinned can sometimes be an under statement.

    So, welcome to the Board of Directors where the same will most like happen to you there.

    Tom, To say you've done an exemplary job over the years as Administrator is an understatement.

    I look forward to seeing how you flourish wearing new shoes and furthering the MGO cause.

    I am glad to see you in a position of leadership, but your work as an Admin will be missed.
