Well you see...I'm stepping down.

This has NOTHING to do with the drama that occurred a few days ago, you guys know I'm fine and can take the heat and the drama.

But this has been something I've been thinking about for a long long time.

You see, I want to be a writer, VERY BADLY, and even my book has been put aside for this place, I don't regret it, but now's the time for me to focus on the things that I want to do.

I won't be abandoning this place, I'll be changing my group to just "Trixie" so I will be keeping my ability to contribute, more as a consultant because of my leading experience, but, I'm going to give my duties to another.

I have had my day in the sun, and it's been a great ride.
I've been able to meet wonderful people, and my social skills are a lot better then when I was this naive little girl with her head in the clouds.

Now, there's still the matter of who will take my place.
You admins are wonderful, I hope you know it, and I had a hard choice to make.
But I didn't want to choose favorites from any of you, that just wouldn't be fair after all the work you guys have dedicated to this place.

So, given that, I have choose to leave SJ in my place.

I know you're probably thinking "Has she lost her marbles? he's not even an admin yet!" but you see, I know SJ in real life, and this is a lot of responsibility, and he's somebody I trust with it, I know him through and through, though not everybody sees it, he is very good leader material.
He will also listen to you, he's a very very very good person, he's smart, and a good diplomat which is what the lead admin does, It's not only that I trust him and that it would be a way out of picking and choosing from you guys, but I believe he will make a very good leader.


I have had a long conversation with Cute Lil Fox, explaining the pros and cons of the leading admin responsibilities, and he is whole heatedly dedicated.
Believe me, he's the right choice, I''ve known him for 5 almost 6 years of my teenage life, and I've watched him grow, he'll make a better admin then I ever was.

I hope you don't think I think anybody higher then anybody, it might seem a little unfair to promote him to that rank so suddenly, but I have faith you guys will be able to help him grow in leadership, and I will try to do what I can.



Please do that for me guys, please accept him and not resent him, please treat him like you would have treated me in leadership, that's the last thing I will ask of you guys. :)


I have thought long and hard over this, so you'll know that I have already made up my mind.

I understand this will come as quite a shock to you, it's not that I don't love this place, but I just don't have the time for it like I used to, people have been saying that all year and I think it's time to let somebody else in for a turn.


Also, you might not agree with my choice to promote CLF to the rank, I understand, you guys have not necessarily gotten the time to know him, and some of the staff are libel to resent me and him for his sudden jump to leadership.
But I've watched you guys deal with a lot worse, I'm very sure you are capable of handling any more uproars. :)

I won't be transferring my abilities just yet, I'm going to wait until after the awards are over so I can get my duties as banner maker finished and to give you guys time to soak it all in.

It would also help to try getting to know CLF, and please don't tell anybody yet, I don't want the members getting upset that I'm leaving staff. (If any are lol)

Now, I understand if you don't agree with this decision, but it will be the last one I make as lead admin, I am not slinking away from the job, I'm just ready to retire.
And I'd like to give you my personal thanks, for all the things you guys have taught me. :)

~Respectfully stepping down, your good friend, Trixie.

---------------------------
Well there was a topic posted, deleted since Crys didn't know, so I'll repost it.
Yeah, I'm stepping down, I hope you understand, and I hope nobody leaves because of this, I think you should give CL a break and accept him, just see how he does, I'm sure he'll do with this place better then I ever did.
Also, I'll still be here, I'm not leaving. ^-^
I'll be stepping down, after the awards since I'm still making the banners for it. :)

It's sad to see you step down, Trixie. But you do have your reasons~

And I'm sure CLF will do a great job. He seems very responsible and trust worthy. Have a good retirement~ I'm sure I'll see you around. <3

It IS sad, I don't like it that Trixie is stepping down...but the decision was hers entirely, and she does have legitimate reasons. This is a sad time for TTFF.

I want everyone to treat Trixie with the utmost respect, even when she steps down. When she and I switch places, I will still consider this Trixie's message board. Me having authority over it is a moot point to me, and if Trixie ever decided to come back I would give the position back to her in a heartbeat. She would do the same for me for my message board.

I...do realize this is hard for some people. I was shocked myself, I never thought it would happen in a million years! Maybe, someday, Mod maybe...but I'm deeply honored to be entrusted with this, to have that kind of trust. I suppose a big point would be since Trixie knows me in real life...she could find me and gut me alive if I did anything wrong. XDDDDD For those who don't fully agree with this, there isn't much I can say except I'll do my best. I hope we can still get along/work together without any hard feelings. I'm here to work, and I hope you'll realize that.

I will retain Trixie's views on the rules, how the board is to be managed, and retain a specific goal to continue this board as a friendly envirement for Tails fans and fanatics alike.

For those who know me...don't be one ioda intimidated. XD I'm not going to change after this. Maybe have a little less time, maybe, but don't feel you can't argue with me or still say silly things. For one, I love silly things. For two, arguements are good! As long as they don't erupt into calling people names or bashing or that junk...But saying like "CLF, this is right, because blah blah blah blah" is freakin just fine. XDD

To sum it all up, I will do my very best at this job, I will not be currupted with power, and aaaaalllllll your cheeses are belong to us...er, me...no wait, Maz...Missy? O_o

It is very sad to see you go, Trixie.

People make mistake's, that is what makes them human. All you can actually do is forgive them (or not, but that would make you selfish) and hope things will go better next time.
It is always good to see you pursuing your dreams Trixie. Go for it. I support it 100%. People can always enjoy good stories and I read quite a couple of yours. I must say you've got the talent and the wits for it. That's key to becoming a writer in my eyes. Don't be afraid to chat with the lads and the galls around here. It will do you go to have your thoughts wonder of somewhere else when you are stuck. Coming up with idea's

This may be a sad time for the TTFF. But there is always a saying that is optimistic: There will be sunshine after the rainfall. There always will be.



As for CLF (yes some know him as Sonic J/ Millance/ etc. But I know him none other than CLF :T14: ) Know that I will try to help you, support your choices, help you in every way I can. Make Trixie proud :T11: . And I got a little thing to ask you. You will see. I will ask you in a PM for it might involve other people who will get their turn to. It's nothing bad, just a gesture of generosity.

Trixie, I know I made one post in that topic earlier that may have made you think I have a problem with you. I want you to know that, before you step down, I have no problem nor quarrel with you. In fact, from what I've seen from all of your posts, you are a very kind and relatively likable person. I asserted my opinion a bit more harshly than I should have, and I apologize for that. I hope you have an extremely successful career as a writer, and I wish you luck as well.

As for your choice as CLF to take your place, I see no particular flaw. Of course, I haven't known CLF for very long, nor any of you for that matter, but he seems like a responsible, kind, trustworthy and forgiving person, ready to help at whim. A bit shocked, I must say I thought you would choose somebody who was at least a super mod, but it matters not. We're all the same worth. I hope you do very well and enjoy your job, CLF, if not only for my own sake. I think that you'll do a good job unregarded.

And Trixie, you better not forget about us!

SJ: I totally know you'll do a fantastic job SJ. *high-fives* ^-^

Wow, I appreciate all your kind words, all of you, I am so happy about this response, I was a little worried people would take it the wrong way, and I am quite happy for the kind responses. ^^

But you don't have to worry, I'm not leaving, only, I won't be in power any more, so you don't have to worry about me leaving this place, you can't shoo me away without a fight. lol XD

Baha, Roronao pretty much summed up what I wanted to say. xD
And I dunno what to say, Trix. Perhaps, good luck? =P

I guess good luck.

Good luck Trixie ^^; I'm sure we'll be fine

Wow, a difficult decision indeed!

I do feel badly about your choice, however, it is understandable. Admining a board well takes A LOT of time. I wish you much success with your future endeavors and we'll see you on the board.

CLF, you made a good decision about leaving the board/rules as it is. A good Admin, even in real life should do that. It's hard being the "new kid on the block". Just one thing though, always keep an open mind and be objective even with your staff. Hard to do but worth the effort.

Wait a minute....This can't be true!!!!! Yet it is.....times change causing people grow different standards and goals. I don't know CLF in person yet i'm supporting your decision full heartedly....This shy foxxy has seen the full potential of this member....Running TTFF will be no problem for the new co-master. Theres practically nothing technical, mental, or whatever otherwise that he can't fix without a little help or sometimes no help at all. As most people would say the place won't b the same without the queen (:P I had to say Trixie. Hope you don't mind.) & maker. This change will do nothing more then revive my belief & total support of this forum. As not many have known i've been seeking to help keep this forum friendly & safe...I pretty much gave up trying to help as a member. But with this transition...i will renenw my efforts to help keep the site in the green. no powers but still help.....somehow....Even a measly member can make a forum a better place....(I hope...)

...THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU?! -shot-

Sad to see you go. I'll keep watchin' on DA.

Writing can eat up all your time it seems like, huh? Good luck to you, Trixie! And good luck to you CLF, and I hope you can help keep things running. Just know that you have plenty of people behind you rooting for you!

I hate to see you leave, but congrates CLF (Mill)!

Wow...I'm shocked by the positive reaction this has brought. O_o Thank you, everyone, for wishing me luck and congradulating me. I am so so so pleased with your acceptance, it shows me the spirit of TTFF is still alive. :T11:

I'm also glad to see people sad to see Trixie give up her position and wishing her the best. To confirm, Trixie is not leaving the board. She's still going to be here, but shes just going to be my consultant. She will have no staff responcibilities or control of what happens with the board.

Wow.. this is a huge surprise! Well I wish great luck to Trixie in her writing also to CLF Congradulations! We'll root for you, keep this place running okay? =3

Congratulations CLF! You have my full support 100%! Trixie couldn't have chosen a better person for the job! I know you'll do an excellent job in keeping this place active. I've even started to like Tails again! You wouldn't believe how much I hate that fox!

I'm behind you. Good luck.
