Hiya guys and gals
As some of you already know, I've decided to leave SP. For those who didn't know.. I'm leaving!!
This is something I have been considering for a while now, have discussed it with Chip my wonderful hubby and decided now is as good a time as any.
Reasons are many - I can't always commit my time as much as I used to (yes contrary to opinion mods do have a life too) and with a move to Canada (crossed fingers) on the cards soon we both really have a lot on our plates.
There is also another side to my decision - I have been here a fair while and feel that this site is not the same as the one I nervously joined. I have seen people come and go and whilst I appreciate change is inevitable I can't say I want to change along with it. I won't go into how I think it has changed as everyone will have a different opinion of what type of site they want to belong to.
When I became a mod I did it not for popularity, indeed that is the last reason to become a mod!! I did it as I saw so much trouble going on at a time when the other mods couldn't always be there, I wanted SP to be a fun and safe place for like-minded lovely people to enjoy visiting without the hassle. I've made enemies along the way as well as many friends, some of which I never had the pleasure of meeting but always had a good time chatting to in the room. Any decision I ever made as a mod I did in the best interests of SP and its members, it was never personal and I always tried to be fair.
Anyway.. if you still want to stay in contact with me my addy will be available. I've already threatened some people for theirs as I'm really gonna miss them!
So I guess after this weekend you can hang up the bunting and the balloons and thank god I've gone lol - until then I'll still do what I'm here for so be warned!!!
Lotsa luv xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have to say we completely agree with you there BabyD. It really has changed so much recently! Have you considered staying but giving up the Mod bit? As far as the site goes giving up that star was the best thing we ever did! lol.
It's always sad when long standing members leave, I think it will be a major loss to SP if you do decide to go.
Good luck with what ever you decide though, You know where we are if you ever need to rant.

Already said it all but we will miss you hun...
Never mind your addy, I want my Canada invite ffs!! lol
:inlove::inlove::inlove:
ohhhh another nice peep goes baby we will miss ya hun luv dave n tee xxx
Oh nooooo! Not another good one gone!!!
Well I wish you all the very best in your future endeavours babyd. And good luck with the Canada thing! Canada is one of my favourite places.
You will be sadly missed by many.
Oli xxxxx
all the best babyd and thanks for everything, hope all goes well for you x
Ahh BabyD, I am sorry to hear that you are leaving. You were the one of the first to welcome me on this site 2 years ago and help me settle in and have never forgotten that.
All the best to you and Chip and hope your move to Canada goes well. You will be missed by me and many others.
Ebs xxx
baby d,so sad you are leaving as we have known you as long as we have been on the site,can see where you are coming from and understand,we had to think long and hard about renewing,but we did and are still here,hope all works out for you and chip in canada you lucky buggers lol,take care,love the bays xxxx
Well we've already spoken Ali and I have your new messy addy. I totally understand why you are going , there are a large amount of people on here now who don't seem to give a damn about other people feelings and just lack respect for other people, full stop. I know it is hard for me to turn a blind eye, but as a mod, you simply can't so it must be very very hard indeed to cope with.
As sid n nancy have said why don't you just give up the star bit, at least till you go to Canada. Just a thought.
Will miss you stacks, you are quite simply one of the best and long standing mods I have ever seen on the site since I have been on here. Always efficient, fair and did the job, not for your own self importance but for the reasons it should be done and that is to help others.
Will be very sad to see you go. Speak to you soon hun.
Love V xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Do they not have the internet in Canada??
Wishing you the best for what ever you do
Take care

well Babyd, good bye and good luck
let us know where your going in Canada and maybe we'll look you up when we next visit
all the best
Nath n Lisa
aww thanks guys.. so nice to know I haven't made as many enemies as I thought!!!
Nancy .. to be honest I always said if I stopped being a mod I would probably leave SP anyway.. as I said its not just the job thats changed so there would really be no point in me staying, as much as I would miss people. This isnt to say I not may want the pleasure of some company one day, I've not totally given up that idea!!
Anyway my address book is getting fuller by the day so I can annoy people, keep em coming!!
Baby never got to meet you,but you were always great to chat to and so much fun. Tracey and I understand your reasons and wish you all the best for the life your building. Gonna miss ya sexy chat and those great boobs.
Thanks for being a great mod and a really nice person xxxxx
Good luck
Daryll & Tracey
P.S when we visit Canada Wanna Fooooooooooooooook x:bounce::evil2:

pmsl.. think I need to make sure I have enough bedrooms in my new home .. wonder if they may do discounts on group flights?? heehee
eerrrr... umm.. bad news guys
ok, over the last week, especially more over the weekend I have been approached by text, email and whispers asking me to reconsider leaving.
I will stand by my original decision to leave, this was always going to be the case, as everyone knows our personal circumstances hopefully will be changing next year and I knew that I would not be able to commit the time and energy. Originally I was going to leave by the end of this year.. however my decision to leave by sunday was more a heated decision based on a lot of reasons, none of which I care to discuss here.
But as I said, I have been speaking to many different members - some marathon sessions on email (and you all know who you are!) After spending all of sunday evening thinking things over (when really I should have been working lol) and considering how good mwm's plans for a coming back party were.. when I hadn't even left yet!.. I thought that if its ok with you guys I'd stay a little longer - however I will definitely be leaving SP at the end of the year. all being well with Chip's job offer in Canada being finalised nest week.
Thanks to all the members who have taken the time to speak to me over the last week.. I've been really touched and I knew I was gonna miss you so much. I can't say its a u-turn on my decision, just a delay but I hope it doesn't look silly!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Glad to hear it Ali :inlove:
And noooo, you don't look silly at all, everyone wanted you to stay hun as you well know.
ceylons mwahxxx :love:
Right guys and gals... I've been threatening to leave - I stayed a while longer but now I have to go.
Reasons are still the same... maybe even more so about how much the site has changed into one I don't recognise anymore. However we are also now busier than ever getting ready for (hopefully) the mother of all moves to Canada so I really can't commit time to SP anymore, even if I wanted to.
It's been interesting - sometimes hilarious..sometimes downright frustrating and there are times I have needed a wall to bang my head against. But I will say I have met (or sadly never actually met but talked to) some really nice people. Hopefully I will get to Leeds next month so may meet some of you once I've left the site - pmsl how welsh is that?? lol
Anyway, take care all, be nice to each other and good luck in all you do.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hope you make it to Leeds Ali, would hate to have to gate crash your house in Canada, without having first met you in person lol
You WILL be missed
Jo & Daz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
BabyD
Chatted to you on a few occasions over the past year or so - really hope you can make it to the Leeds meet as well... I'm sure we share everyone else's sentiments that you will be sadly missed but we're sure everyone would love a last big social event to be the perfect send off for you both as you start a new life abroad!!
P&H
Good luck again, and remember you can log in from there.
:upset: Wishing you all the luck in the world hun..... with your new adventures.. Keep in touch!
:love: [color="red"]Ms Bods[/color] xx
Ali babe we've chatted many times and reminicised about our local area .... I promise I'll keep you up to date with things back home lol thanks for your support with "that little matter" he he .... speak soon and take care both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I respect your reasons hun, and in some ways I understand exactly how you feel. I went through a period where I felt the site had changed for the worse, and wouldn't ever be the same again (although I must admit I've changed my mind about that).
I've seen how tough it can be for the mods - and I totally sympathise! They're often given a rough time for no reward at all, so I can't blame you one bit for throwing in the towel.
It'll be a real shame to see you go, but I really hope you enjoy what life brings along next - and good luck with Canada! (I'm actually rather jealous! lol)
All the best, and take care
Suds
