A Short Hello, A Big Thank You, And A Long-Ish Goodbye

(Yeah, I am totally this full of myself to post in the news section. Come at me, mods!)

Really warms my heart to see how far Sea3on has expanded from those few years ago when Paul and I took over Fus. Back then we (the bloody Canadian and I) wanted to finally give Fus and Sea3on that little push it needed to get out from the shadows and the mess we found it in. We both believed it could go far. It had the strong creative talent behind it, dedicated to pushing it forward. We just needed other people to believe in it. To notice it.

And holy hell have people noticed it. The Website has never looked better; hits have been on a steady increase for years now; we helped produce a fairly successful fan movie; we have a news section going strong with numerous interesting updates; and Sea3on. Well, shit. Its about to turn into a friggen animation series for Christ Sake!

A lot of time, money and hard work from many hard working bastards over the years have made this all become a reality for Fus. I cannot thank everyone enough (partly because I can't remember everyone's name, and mostly because we can't have Paul's already swollen head grow much larger), but from all of those in our wonderful staff, thank you.

And to our equally wonderful and supportive members (except for Kef ), from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for sticking with us and making this once little fansite a massive community to be reckoned with.

Unfortunately I have not been as involved or as hands on as I would like to be due to work commitments, and sadly that is not about change because very shortly I will be deploying to Afghanistan for a second and far longer time. Paul keeps me up to date on the important things going on in the world of Fus, even the things I don't want to know about (the filthy mongrel), however I just wanted to take the time to drop by and pass on my best wishes and goodbyes personally. I'll always be in the background helping and supporting when I can, and if that means continuing my current role covering all the server costs and telling Paul he's gay on a monthly basis, then so be it!

Keep it real guys. See you all (if I haven't been blown up) sometime in the new year.
