TheDig- Need New Owner 07 Feb, 2001 / Comments: 8

By DJG


I always thought it would be a sad day when I'd have to post this news item.
As a lot of you will know I, Narrative, has been almost extinct when it comes to the Mojo community since last year which includes IRC, Mojo, Scummbar and sadly updating my Dig site hosted here on Mixnmojo.
The reasons for this are varied but centre around a new serious threat on my health which I regrettably can't help. As of which, I don't believe I can put in the energy, time and effort which Mixnmojo and its sites thrive on.

Which leads me on a hunt for a successor to run my Dig site as either a Co-Runner if I get through this, or to take over the site entirely if worse comes to the worse.
There's no real formal process for this, just send me an e-mail to Im_Lost@Rocketmail.Com basically describing who you are and why you want to run the site. Also mention if you've had any input in the past to the site.

I'll choose the most appropriate person from the applications sent, who will then get all the passwords, logins etc. to update the site and I'll also send you a zip, full of stuff which was meant to be used in the next update but sadly didn't get to.
With my health, the future is looking a bit bleak, and it doesn't look like there's much chance of me getting better and re-joining the community anytime soon, so just incase I don't get the opportunity, I'd like to use this post just to say my goodbyes. I'd also like to say that the Mixnmojo community is really going places and things can only get better! I've been part of many different internet communities, but I can say with assurance that this is certainly the most special community and I'm proud to think I helped be a part of it.
To whoever gets the torch for the Dig website handed down all the way from Tabias, Me and now to you, Good Luck.

See you Later Peps,
Matt Shaw (AKA Narrative)

    I am also truly sorry to see you leave the community. It makes me think about that sooner or later we will all part the community one or more at the time and pass it on to a new generation. I get sad when i think of it that way because i want everybody in the community to stick together through life,or atleast hand out the numbers to eachother so that people in the community can meet, face to face. Because i find it hard to imagine to lose someone that i have never seen, other than on my pc. I wan`t everybody in the community to have a big party sometime, although i know that can never be. I think i speak for many of us when i ask what the reason for quitting is, a little more spesific.... i will never forget u Skeleton_Bob

    I've only ever known you through this excellent site, but it is incredibly sad when an problem happens to someone. You have done an excellent job here and all I can say is the best of luck to you. May the force be with you.
