A message from snw...

Hey LemonCloud, just a quick message to let you all know that I will be leaving my manager role in the coming days. I’ve been manager for three and a half years now and I believe we are in a great position for someone else to take over from where I am leaving things.

I’ll write a proper farewell at some point but I will certainly miss you all and will miss working on this great network. It is unfortunately time for me to move onto new challenges. I will be around for a little while longer to assist the transition before I depart. I will continue to support the server as a member of the community whenever I have the chance to get online.

Thank you all for your support in my time here!
