With apologies for thebelated nature of this announcement, Guigo (Atkingani) and Tony (TonyR) have stepped down as admins, and rejoined the ranks of specialcollaborators.

Guigo has been a memberof the site since 2005, and has been on the admin team for severalyears. His calm and friendly demeanour has resulted in him makingmany friends around the site. He was in many ways the perfect admin,resolving issues through negotiation rather than confrontation. I hadthe pleasure of meeting Guigo a few years ago with his lovely wife. Ican assure you he is even nicer in real life!

Tony joined the site as“Reed Lover”in the very early days of the site. Many of us recallhis informed debating style, especially those epic debates withMaani, and how he later reinvented himself as Tony R. In my personalopinion, Tony has done more than anyone else to make the site what itis today. When tempers got frayed Tony was always on hand to step inand resolve matters, sometimes even resorting to telephone calls toother members of the site. Much of what Tony has done for the sitehas been transparent to the members, but please be assured, he hasdedicated an incredible amount of time and effort and we are all thebeneficiaries of his work.

I am sure you will joinme in wishing Guigo and Tony well, and thank them for their majorcontribution to Progarchives. I am pleased to say that both remainregular visitors and contributors to the site.

On the other hand, AndyWebb joined the Admin team a few months ago, and has quicklyestablished himself as a fine member of the team. Andy brings withhim a youthful enthusiasm which bodes well for the future of thesite.
