I do not have to be a member of your team to see what is going on....I have been around for a long time and have seen the very same thing happen to some very good teams....They did not know what happened until it was too late so I felt that your team mates have a right to know what is going on...Do what you like with the info....

By the way, I do have all the facts and plenty of old forums to prove what I said...

Thats a real shame, but I am confused as to why people are talking about abandoning ship. I doubt that Dave A would have wanted that to happen after all this hard work.

Hope you reconsider

On a practical note the MOT Webserver is now back in glorious technicolour. If anyone wishes to host the content it is written in Coldfusion and is driven by an Access database and a MS SQL Server. There are also 2 Java Applications written by Aldeb which run as scheduled tasks early in the morning in the UK to automatically collect all of the teams stats and produce the current ranking table

As each new member joins up another entry is required to be made into the access database.

If anyone would like to volunteer I could temporarily make this possible over the internet.

I'm hoping someone will volunteer to host the site. All of this code is free for that persons taking except for the private email addresses that I have hdden in this database - they will stay private folks.


(I also didn't expect to see my correspondance here in the team thread!)

Dave

Good Morning David

Thank you for posting

I sincerely wish you success in your future endeavours

Your place as Captain of this Team will always be open to you should you ever wish to return

You will be sorely missed Sir!

David A.

Thank you for having posted here once again, it is always a pleasure to read your posts.

Also, thank you for having clearly stated your reasons for resigning. Maybe your own words will help others understand the true reasons for your having left, and will permit this team to return to it's original purpose.

Ladies and gentlemen of MOT, you now have David's own explanation as to his leaving. I sincerely hope that we will see no more members jumping ship because of malicious gossip and inuendo with regard to there having been some kind of coup within this team. That idea was never more than sheer vindictiveness on the part of those who wish MOT only harm, as has now been clearly demonstrated.

When the time comes to vote in a permanent captain, this will be done in our own forums. You will need to be there to cast your vote, so please register ASAP.

With David's words here for all to read, those members who recently left the team may like to reconsider, and rejoin this great team.

Thanks!
