NEW SITE CEO: Lee Dodd

[Erwin]

Dear members and staff

I wish to announce that I have relinquished my role as the CEO of Foru.ms and have handed over that responsibility to Lee Dodd (username: LeeD), a dedicated Christian. Lee will be able to spend a lot more time than I can to guide and lead Foru.ms into the future. Lee and his company will basically take over the running of the whole website. I believe that this change will help the site reach its full potential.

I do love this community which I build up over the past 6 years. Together, we have grown up, older and wiser, and we have seen many changes. I believe that this new change will herald a new era for the site. I will hang around for a while during this transition period but will take a back seat and let Lee take over. I ask that all Staff and members welcome Lee to this very important leadership role for the website and support him in this endeavour.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Lee Dodd and I am 28 years old, married for 10 years, with 2 beautiful little girls (ages 5 and 7). I run an internet media company, so this webmaster and administrator stuff is my full time work. I am active in my church as well and have recently been filling in as an interim children's minister along with my wife. I am around most days (some weekends I tend to disappear in to the offline world) and spend 10+ hours a day online throughout the work week (Monday - Friday).

I am a Christian, saved at the age of 17 in a baptist church where my future grandfather-in-law was pastoring. I have been involved in youth ministry for 5 years of my Christian life and pastored a small church for a year. I am excited to be saved and a part of God's family!

I am very excited to be in this position and I have many plans to help take this community to the next level over the coming weeks and months. I want to thank all of the existing volunteer admins/moderators for their hard work and dedication that made this site what it is today. I have no major plans to make big changes, so do not fear. I hope to become more and more integrated in to this community in the coming weeks and months. Feel free to ask any questions you might have!
