A change of hands at MetPage

[Poolzer]

My fellow members and community, today I am stepping down after the many years of supporting, helping and leading this great site. It has been a great ride and I have made many, many cool friends throughout the years that now fill my trillian window. Building up the site has not been any single person's task, it has always been a team effort. The people around me that have been a part of and/or are a part of this great side have made my job easy. The respected members, the staff, all the tapers/filmers, authors, cover artists and members have made this place the forefront of all things Metallica.

I will be lurking around now and then while I am gone, but for the most part this deployment will keep me away from here (cheers from the peanut gallery!).

But 1st I must announce the person that will take the helm of this site, work with the staff, and bring his experience, great humor, knowledge and presence to move this site onward and upward.

You know him, you love him and damned if you haven't heard of him because of his work at Metfuk and all OVER this great community.

As I step down, I give a high-five to the guy you'll send your gripes to, your comments to and who will lead this great site.

MetPage is all yours sjmike!

When Poolzer announced he was stepping down, many in our community brought my name to the Metpage staff suggesting I take on the Admin position. I was honored to be considered but was torn in my loyalties as I had just stepped down from my position on Metfuk a few months prior. After much arm twisting, brow beatings, bribes, and a great deal of contemplation, I decided to join the MetPage Admin team. I want thank the MetPage staff for inviting me to join them. As I am handed the helm from Poolzer, I look forward to being to be the voice of this great site. I also want to give special thanks to James (oldfan) for everything that he's taught me over the years and everything that's he's done for trading community!

Welcome Mike! I am glad that you gave into to our begging, pleading, and bribes! Not having Paul around to be the "head guy" was something I was not looking forward to. I am so pleased that you have stepped up to fill that spot! I too want to thank Oldfan for being understanding. He and I had many long discussions about this before I began my recruitment for you to "take over where Paul left off" in earnest. On behalf of the staff I would like to thank and welcome you to our team!


For those of you who can't keep up with all the staff changes we've had lately, the Staff list has been updated in this Announcement and you can view all our profiles Here.

Please join us in welcoming sjmike as our new head admin.
