BTO Announcement!!!!

[JohnFitzgerald]

Due to new and exciting challenges in his life, Swede\'(John Erickson) has submitted a request to remove himself as a Backtrack Outdoor owner/administrator. With saddened hearts,we accepted his resignation. He will remain on as a forum moderator and will continue to give his expert advice. We would like to thank Swede for his hard work, dedication, and sacrifices he made to make this forum one of the best.

Since BTO is growing at a very fast rate, we\'ve decided to expand. Dan(aka iccyman001) accepted a partnership and will become BTO\'s Promotional Director. Also, Derek(aka cohunter14) accepted a partnership and will become BTO\'s Daily Operations Director.

Brad(aka CNELK) will remain BTO\'s Sponsorship Director and I will remain BTO\'s Media Director.

Thanks,
JF

Thanks to Swede for everything you have done! I also really appreciate the opportunity from JF and Cnelk. We\'ll continue to do whatever possible to spread the word about the best hunting forum out there! :upthumb:

Also, thanks to all of you for making this place what it is! One heck of a good group of folks that I am fortunate enough to spend time with here.

Could not have said this any better. This is such a fantastic site and I honestly enjoy coming to it everyday. Not just for great knowledge, but for such great people. So thank you Swede, Brad, and JF for making this happen.



Good luck in your future endeavors, Swede and I am very glad you\'re staying around. :upthumb:

All right; Say what you please. Just remember I am still here, and as moderator I have the tools to change lemons into something very sweet.
I.e. \"Swede is a jerk\", can be turned to \"Swede is a saint\" with just a few key strokes.

Thanks for everything you\'ve done for BTO, Swede. I hope this new challenge does not mean you\'ll be a stranger here!
And thanks to Dan and Derek for stepping in, and to Brad and John F. (and all the members) for making this such a great source of information. Elk Mentors, indeed!

I know it is rare for someone to step aside without leaving. I have no intention of going anywhere. The owners of BTO including Dan are great people. Everyone here at BTO has been very good to work with. I just want to leave the management part.
