To all GSO members new and old

after a great time thinking things over... i have decided to step down as an Administrator here at GSO

there is NO internal rift with any Admin team member or members...this is based purly on personal reasons... in other words...i need to pursue other things ...like my programming and exploit research and get back into the swing of things again.... i must admit GSO and many of its problems over the years have hampered me in some ways BUT its been a privilege to be apart of the Admin Staff

Gsecur is a very close friend of mine and we will stay intouch... infact i will remain here and demote myself to Specialist....so i can drop by for a chat etc BUT ...please DO NOT pm me with problems here from now on...as i cannot help you with these matters anymore so lost accounts , report a members , change names...please send to the correct Admin team members....BUT yes friends please do

i would like to thank all GSO Admin team... you guys are great and quite a few of you go back several years to other places were we first all met...others helped me on various other projects...spot on guys ... i class you all as close friends

so as of now .... all good things come to and end..... if i can help you ...i will

have fun

regards

ComSec

it's been a pleasure having you on the team.

wow.
i didn't really know you but i do know u command much respect around here

All I have to say is it has been a great run. The place would have never been what it was today if it weren't for you.

- Ah, I hope you get your personal issues solved, and then come back and chat with us. Been good to know you the past years. Stay in touch.

too bad that you decided to demote yourself... Because you were the admin who I am so grateful... You helped me if i wanted your help, PMed you sometimes (well, just 2), I still think I owe you...
On the other way, you caused a great problem, now GSO will need someone to take your position as admin, and do it as well as you

Lots of fun with your research!! tnx for everything!

I've not been there too often but the time I spent there is enough to say that you did a really good job together with GSecur !!!

I wish you all the best for your projects and life

Just one more word (in fact 2 ) : Thank you

Thanx for all your work ComSec. Good luck in your research!

I am sorry to hear you are stepping down, GSO has been the best forum i have known for the last 2 years, and a lot of that is attributed to your personal style, and pushing the boundaries of security vs hacking.

that's what makes gso such a great place, we have a rich diversity of members, not just the boring ones you find in the pure whitehat forums.

i wish you the best luck with whatever you set your heart to.

i hope you stick around for the odd chat.

Comsec,


Yourve put alot of effort into GSO, are you sure we cant change your mind?
When i first started i thought you WHERE the admin team ( u always did a good percentage of the admin, no offense u other guys)
at least you are staying around rather than "doing one" for good.




andydis.


p.s. if your admin job going then ?

Good things never last.

Great job over the years you will be missed.....

Its a shame to see you go comsec, but I wish you the best of luck in all of you're future projects. It really was a hell of a run:

I'm new here so i don't know you but i wish you the best luck.

Comsec has indeed been the primary staple of this site. If any one has questions or concerns they can contact me directly. I will be releasing an org chart that will remind everyone of who the moderators are of the site.

Totally understand your pursuit. Best of luck in your quest, if I can be of assistance in some manner feel free to drop me a line ComSec. Please do not be a stranger in the months to come.

Spookie

good luck m8!..
hope you'll visit us frequently..

Serhat

Do pop in frequently. It won't be the same if you don't.

You have been an inspirational leader, hope to see you back here regularly.

If you need anything let me know!

--P>G>>

A pity to be sure, however I can fully understand why you're leaving. Although I've only been here a short time, you've been helpful, considerate and knowledgeable, I wish you the best .

Let me tell you just one thing :

GSO is a very very good informative board , and your work (U and the team) is very very good

Greatz to all of you men ...


(and sorry for my poor english )

All the best wishes for your future projects ComSec and only a big, really big, thanks for your work here at gso!

Cheers ComSec! You've helped make GSO a great place to be mate.
Good Luck with your future!

all the best to you my friend.
thx for the many years good work you done here !
greetz

i read here day for day and each when i looked for new posts, i could read one name EVER, that was yours Comsec.

i think i speak for all when i say, thats something´s missing if you´re not longer there.

good luck for all your plans.

oh well thats life... but i believe that u wont be long gone and we`ll c u here from time to time

goodLucK...

Good post.
For now I would like to say that you need different mindsets for when learning this stuff and different when you are advanced and "just do it".

I think a post like this and similar ones you referred to are taking this community to a higher level, to the point of making real personal changes in people. Thanks

;

I'm sad for us and happy for you at the same time.

I found it interesting that additional new hires at the NSA, FBI, and CIA occurred immediately after your announcement, and even Schneier was unavailable for comment; most security forums across the net were taken down for 8 hours for thorough security reviews, and some clown on EBAY is even trying to sell "Kenny L" cyberinsurance...

NO, I can't be serious even at a solemn moment as this.

ComSec, we'll miss your leadership, correction (I still have your bootprint in my backend, which I needed occasionally), and meticulous care.

Good luck my friend! Take good care of the mrs. and big/little kennys.

As always, you're still my hero!

I will just have to worship you from afar

A wise choice, i wish you good luck =)

FLX

i would just like to say...am very moved by all of your kind words ..and would like to say.. thank you for all the well wishing

i will still be about perhaps not as often... but i will help or give advice when ever i can....

i respect you all ... spot on guys !!

ComSec

Thnx for the great time

It's your desicion, so I think it is the best one

You were very ok as admin.

take care, will miss you

more power to you COMSEC!

Hey ComSec,
Best of luck with your research, was good chatting to you every now and then. If theres anything i can ever help with do not hesistate in getting in touch as it would be a pleasure to help you out. Take care bud.

Comsec.... I wish you all the best in the future...

And thanks for all your great apps, and help....

And last.... Gemini all the way!

Good luck with everything, hope all goes well for you. May the force be with u

Sorry to hear you are stepping down. I hope all is well and that your road to success is well paved and level. I'm currently on a unpaved road, and let me tell you it is certainly unpleasant.

hey guys... i would like to inform you... that am back again as Admin .. after a month away from you all ..i managed to solve things i wanted to do some were personal non forum related ...

i just could not let my mate Gsecur run the show single handed as the senior administrator due to heavy influx of new members... and sit back and watch

all the admin team have done an excellent job in my absence and hats off to them all..... they really are the best of the best

this is a bit like a Steven Gerrard (Liverpool captain club move decision)... who i support being a scouser

GSO is a part of me ...what more can i say its great to be back and part of the team again...

regards

ComSec

We are like a drug

you know that G ... ... now to pick up from where i left off ... lets see ...the trash can is a good place to start...

Eheh good news that you're back ComSec

And have fun with the new bunch of members

Well ComSec, it's nice that you returned again...
Anyway, I knew that you would return to the administration team, you didn't edit your signature at all But this was just a joke. I saw how you couldn't leave GSO at all, still writing there, and so on... I once thought that you are the "secret" admin because you found the flood from the members somehow disturbing, everyone wanting the same, that could have bored you. And if anyone would ask you at the time when you look like a specialist, you would be able to say that you have left the administration team
Well, I think that I have more time to repay my owe now

cheers

belgther

thing is belgther... i was watching you read this thread for over an hour... i guess it kinda bugged you in some way....

perhaps your right i might have been a secret admin... who knows... maybe i needed some time to suss out who's who here... i might even have some cards marked ... will let you ponder on that.

or perhaps i had things to do... and the forum was taking up to much time when i was doing it and was distracted from the task... will let you ponder on that

as for the flood of new members... well its not a problem... the lame soon stand out... and then get stamped out thats our policy

i hope its not a problem for you that i have returned... i would hate to see you leave coz i have ?

thank god, you came to your senses

well good to have you back.

cheers tibbar ... nice to be back
