Hi all,
There are some changes from a management stand-point that we wanted to share with you all. James Bella, after over 4 years of being a Managing Editor, is going to shift roles from this point forward to focus on other site activities. At this point we are calling this brand new position the HR Manager, but essentially he will be helping with training new staff and other stuff. He will also be using some of his new 'free' time on building up our automotive site, AutoModeler.

Darren Baker has volunteered to take over most of the responsibilities of being Managing Editor. As Darren is already managing the news team for Armorama this effectively puts him in charge of all content published on the site.

I am sure everyone will join me in wishing them both the best and good luck with their new roles.

Thanks for your dedication James and Darren!

Best wishes,
Jim

Thank you Darren for taking on the responsibility for handling all the content for Armorama...no small job

You've been volunteering your time and energy for 5+ years now, and I dread to think of where the site would be without you. I'm looking forward to you bringing us to the next level!

As for me, I'm taking the HR for meaning "Happy Retirement"

James, good luck in your "retirement", and hopefully we will see some builds from you in the future.

Firstly thank you.

James I have some bad news for you HR does not stand for "Happy Retirement" but you are allowed to dream.

Kev thanks for the support.
