One of the whole points of having notables is that you recognise a small group of people who make the forums worth visiting. Indeed, it there was a larger number of notables then there would be no point in having them. More importantly, notables are (supposidly) respected, members of the room who post good topics...

Now, as most of you know, I've landed myself a gap year job working down South for 9 months. Not only will I not have much time to post (stupidly, we're paid in advance, allowing us to drink on the company before we start!), but I won't even have a computer initially. Even when I do, I'll be sharing the line with other gap year students, so won't be online much (and I doubt we'll get broadband). All this adds up to me not posting very often (perhaps a few times a month every so often)...

After that, I have my heart set on going around the world during that summer and doing loads in interesting stuff. It won't be until the end of summer when I go to Uni that I'll have a net connection and a laptop to post with...

So, should I stand down as a notbale? Personally I think I should, but seeing as it's you people who (mostly!) voted for me (points at people who didn't vote for me!) I thought I should put it to your opinions. Remember that even when I go to uni I won't have so much time for posting... as well as academics, there'll be drinking and a few other projects that I'm working on (details to follow next year!). Either way, I'll hardly be a notable member of the forums any more...

Your opinions please...

To offer to give it up is very good of you.

I'm sure if you did stand down, but decided to return in the future as a regular member again, SR wouldn't hesitate to give you back your Notable status.

Well. Seems to me that you should perhaps see how much you can use the net once you are at Uni or at your job.

I think you should stay for a while if not forever.

Tis' up to you.

You working near London or something, btw?

Well, people have argued over whether notables who are never around should be stripped of their powers (well, of their urine coloured name) but nothing ever came from it

I'll leave this up to the people who actually voted for you (being that I voted for the only monkey in the group, and he turned it down)

No point, look at Sniper he spams like a newbie and writes in text speak yet he's still a notable.

Just cause you're away for a while doesn't mean you need to step down, at least you deserve the Notable title.

Any more? You are under the impression you were in the first place?

I'm only joking. Probably. But yes, give it up, because monkeybloke actually won. Even though he's a...
