Some people might have already noticed the word administrator under Aris' username but let me just make it official: Aris is the new administrator of this board. In essence Aris has complete control over everything that happens in here and he'll be responsible for the well fare of the forum from now on.
This decision was made a couple of months ago and it wasn't an easy one. The thing is I don't have much free time these days (what with my one year old baby and such) and considering the turmoil Greece is in nowadays, I just don't have my mind set on devoting time on hobbies right now. More important things have to take priority.. I'm not leaving the board but I might do it in the future so it's best to be prepared for when the time comes. I'm still gonna visit but it won't be so often from now on.
Anyway, I will still be checking my PMs or emails so feel free to email me for any questions you might have about game&watch, this board or whatever.
Michael

Well, Michael, thank you for all the efforts over the past years !!! You realy are a honoust person and a real collector. The type of people I realy like. Not in for the money, but for the passion. I know you maybe have doubts on my motivation to go after all PS, but I can tell you it's the same passion I share with you. PS are just the the most desirable G&W around... Via your forum I learned a lot of G&W and became more and more passionate about those stupid plastic games. I understand the situation in Greece is not optimal for the moment, but I'm shure you will all get trough. So 1000x thanks and all the best to you Aris, Welcome aboard and still waiting till you find a PS Chef & PS Turtle Bridge for me Grtz, Beni

Yes Mike, like Andy said, thanks for everything you have done for the G&W community. You are definitely one of the most knowledgeable collectors, and your dedication is and has been greatly appreciated. You have left very big shoes for me to fill, and while I'm no Mike Panayiotakis, I'll be happy just to be able to fill one of them. Big thanks for all the time and effort you put into this forum Mike. I think a lot of us don't realize how much work it is to maintain a forum such as this. Enjoy your time with your family, and of course, being a father. Lots of joyous years ahead of you, and if you haven't started going gray yet, you will! AC PS Thanks Maxime! PPS Thanks Beni! Yes, I am keeping an eye out for these final potential PS games, just for you! Have you started saving for the payment yet? ;D PPPS Oops! I just noticed I double-posted. Can I do that as the Admin? ;D

Michael, thank you so much for everything! Your forum here is and will be a great source of Game&Watch information for any collector of G&W. I hope things will go better in the near future and that you still will enjoy G&W. And who knows, one day maybe you will hunt again for the 60/60 C'mon, getting away from G&W is not easy! ArisCongratulations! There is a new boss in town!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @mike, Haven't made a post here for a long time, but I have to write something now. I've been a member for many years and allthough I'm not collecting anymore, I still visit from time to time. Thank you for giving us a platform to get more out of our hobby and enjoy it so much more. You did a great job! Can't thank you enough for that. But giving the forums to Aris? ?? Is there a rule, that the admin is prohibitid to write posts longer then 100 words? If not, make it. To Aris: How's life mate? Congrats with your new job and if anyone can follow in Mike's footsteps, it's you. May the force be with you. René

Ha! I'm thinking of banning people whose initials are the same as the rarest book-style Multi Screen game!!! ;D 100 word limit eh? Actually, I've been looking at the number of posts I've made since I joined, and noticed it's quite low, so, I'll be altering the "Posts" field to a "Words" field, so that I can be the leader in that respect! Good to hear from you Rene. I hope all is well with you and the family. Try to drop in a little more often than just on an annual basis okay? We don't charge by the appearance here you know! Yes, I was surprised Mike selected me as well. I guess being Greek has its privileges.... ;D AC
