Thanks Prof and the moderators for all of your hard work! I have been here since 2007 as well, and lurked before that. LAF has been my go to site for wargaming and miniatures since then. I appreciate the tone and conviviality of this forum. Having been to other sites, I know that gentlemanly tone is due to how this forum is moderated and guided. I have confidence that Nick will continue this tradition. Prof I understand how real life interferes with our hobby. I hope that stepping down will give you more painting time so that we can enjoy your little 28mm gems! All the best!
Lon

Enjoy some well-earned time off, Prof, and thanks for creating the most interesting - and tolerable - wargaming miniatures forum anywhere online.

As others have said, "Many thanks to you Prof."
I wish Nick all the best and hope the changes settle in smoothly,
I still miss The Gentleman's Wargames Emporium,
which disappeared without trace after a 'change',
and (recently) I have been having withdrawal symptoms when LAF fails to pop up on my screen, but some weird site does.

Thanks a lot for everything, Alex

And good luck Nick.

Thanks Prof, likewise I'm a relative newcomer and don't post all that often, but the LAF is my daily dose of wargaming and pretty much a fixture for me

Nick - on a practical level (and you may well already have plans to do this) if the site is going to be down over long(ish) periods maybe you could put an update/estimate of when it'll be up again on your site, just so LAFers have somewhere to check what's happening?

Although I don't look in as much as I used to, this is still the best wargaming forum on the net; a sensible number of boards, active moderators, and above all, polite and welcoming members. Although obviously it is sad that Alex is handing it on (and best of luck, Alex), I think that Nick will do a super job carrying it on, and with the back up of a larger team if necessary.

Thank you for keeping us updated, and all the best.

Thanks, Prof! You deserve great credit for all the hard work you have put into the Forum. All the very best for the future.

Just had to check my own profile, this March will be my 10th LAFiversary! (and this November will be the 20th (!!!) anniversary of my gaming website!)

Glad to hear there's a continuity plan for LAF.

Thanks to both the Prof and Nick, and long may LAF thrive!

I think they were Dewbacuk`s Bengal Lancers I bought 2nd hand on the first or secound BLAM.
they are painted now mate

They were indeed, and glad to hear it

I’ve been fairly quiet over the last couple of years largely due to not having easy access to a real computer. However we’re hoping the updates will sort that and make the forum more tablet/mobile friendly. I have a feeling they weren’t really a thing when the forum was set up

I'll add my voice to those thanking the good professor for starting and maintaining this site.

LAF has been a constant source of inspiration and good advice all done in the most convivial manner.

LAF has also been the catalyst behind several purchases of one sort or another.

Thanks Alex, this really is the best hobby site on the web.
best wishes,Pete

Very much thank you to the prof - this has been by far both the best thing and the most costly website I ever been on. I expanded my ideas of gaming greatly - but also have bought into waaaayyyy more genres than I would have.

Loved every minute, though.

And I just realized the 20th of this month was my 10 year anniversary on LAF. Wowsers!

I for one(and by the looks of it one of many) that owe you a great big Thank You for starting us all on this journey called LAF. And what a journey it is. I was just barely making it to a couple of game days and collecting & painting miniatures pretty much by myself at home. After joining this forum I have gotten into painting a lot more. Joined the LPL one year. Have had the opportunity to learn & trade ideas with folks from all over the world. Discovered many new sources for gaming materials. Made some new friends, and even got a chance to meet and game with some of them. And kept in touch with some old friends that have moved to other parts. This has become an important part of my life. Thank you so much for all you have given to me, and to many others on here over the years. Wish you the best & will still look forward to whatever you join us for & post in the future.
