After a lot of though I have decided to stop being a Moderator as I am not doing Moderator duties as I should.

With our electricity going the way it is, the stealing of the cables etc. I am not performing as a Moderator should be.

We are going to start looking again to purchase our own place and time will be even less on the forum.

Weekends are so busy for me as well, I have began running (haha at my age. Saturdays are so busy now, hardly have time on the forum.
Sundays I am busy doing home chores, thus even less time on the forum.

I have had loads of fun, shed many tears etc but thoroughly enjoyed it.

I will still be active as a member when time permits.

Love

Antoinette

Aww sad to hear!! Even though I've only been here for a short time I enjoy your company! Sending well wishes to you in your hunt for a new home, hopefully your life will be less frantic in the near future!!
I'm sure I'll still see you here from time to time. :)

Edit: I hope it isn't an April Fools joke! (Well, I mean I do, but that's mean if it is!!) You know we all support you no matter your decisions. We would just be very sad if you had to leave!

I noticed you haven't been around much lately. I'm pretty busy these days too, but without mod duties I could just pop in for a few minutes here and there :)

Good luck with everything Ant, see ya 'round! ;)

This is huge...I think we all realize how life can change and disrupt what was once easily accomplished.

You are greatly loved and appreciated by all, Ant. We appreciate everything you have done over the years to help us create a better environment for our beloved birds. For this, I thank you!

Wishing you the best, Ant.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep us informed about Mishka!!! My whole family loves to hear stories about Mishka. My Daughter even asked if we could name our new Sun Conure Mishka!!! We decided that Mishka was special and we wanted to always remember him when we heard the name Mishka. So we named him Skittles.... actuarially S/Him's full name is Skittles Taste the Rainbow Rose :)

I do understand that sometimes life gets busy and we have to decide what is the most important in our lives. And sometimes we have to give up things we love to things that are important!

Apparently, the North Pole.
I don't really know you, but I do understand that giving up your moderator position isn't an easy decision. I was a mod on a large chatsite for a few years, and it was hard to give it up.

Take care of yourself and your family (Mishka included!) first- we'll be waiting to hear from you. Good luck.

(((( hugs ))))

Ant, it has been a pleasure moderating with you, even for the short time I have been a mod. You will certainly be missed, but I look forward to hearing and seeing more about Mishka!
Good luck with everything in your life and please don't be a stranger:)

Hey there Terry

You are doing a fantastic job moderating I am glad you are enjoying.
I love the all the Mod's working together as a family is something I will always treasure.
Things in life change and unfortunately me giving up my Moderator duties was one of them. I had years of fun being a Mod, I know I will miss those duties.

You will definitely see many more posts of Mishka and Ringo.

Me a stranger N E V E R !!!!!

I am missing the Mod team terribly.
It was my pleasure working with you all.
