Tomo stepping down from CM

         We have requested @Tomo to write a personal message to the community as he is stepping down from his role as a Community Manager:

"Hi everyone. This period of the year marks 1 whole year I've been in the Community Manager role. It's been a very difficult year, both personally and "professionally". I don't do much outside of FK due to my personal circumstances, and as such poured a lot of myself into my role and helping out where I can. I even put too much in many places, and I apologise to my CM colleagues if I ever overstepped any boundaries.
I believe that my appointment was somewhat controversial, and I hope to have at least partially quelled some doubts, and I hope too that on balance I achieved some good in helping this community continue to exist despite the odds for most ArmA communities, and even to thrive.

My stepping down is mostly for personal reasons, such as my own health. I won't spill all here in a public fashion, but you are welcome to come and ask me privately if you wish.

I will also not be disappearing completely. I will still maintain my Trainer positions of Platoon and Zeus, in order to continue to help my colleagues in the CM Team and community members alike. Hopefully with more energy available you will see more activity from me in these roles to try and keep things moving.

Finally, I want to thank all of my colleagues in the CM Team past and present. For those of you who were keeping track, myself and Point were the only remaining members from the CM Team at my time of appointment still around, until my stepping down. We all know how difficult a role CM can be, and I hope I can impress upon everyone else reading with this fact at just how bad it can be. Please, remember to give the CM Team some slack. We are all humans, volunteers, and have jobs and lives to lead. It can be difficult to get together and get something done outside of the few hours each Sunday we agree to meet up. Rest assured, CMs always try their best to do what they think is best for the community at large.

Goodbye all, I'll see you around  "
