Congratulations Lanceusa and thereforeiamx! :mrgreen:

[Mr.SuperHero]

Someone should defiantly make a January Challenge.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

I think before I say anything else, I have to thank TwistMyArm for all he's done in the time he's had responsibility for The Photo Challenge. Although I've never actually participated in this particular competition, as an outsider looking in, it's always seemed to me to be a particularly well run affair. It's a fairly large pair of shoes I find myself stepping into, I just hope I can develop the feet to go with them.

Odd that I should find myself writing this less than an hour after someone else just threw a few inaugural words out to some casual bystanders - I gather I don't get the black limo though for this one.

As Twist said a little earlier, we won't be running this for January, but TPC will be back at you regular newstand on 1 Feb, when I hope to make another interesting one for all to particpate in. Till then, if anyone has any suggestions on topics they might like to see, please drop me a PM and I'll consider them along with a few select choices of my own.

Twist, just wanted to say thanks for all the time and effort put into organizing these challenges. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it is greatly appreciate it. Chris, congrats on taking over, I sent a PM with a few impossible suggestions :lmao: Anyway, I'm looking forward to entering Febs contest

Cheers Twister man, you've done a great and mostly thankless job so kudos to you.

It was a long time running and when the weight comes down, you were so hard done by in the greasy jungle. So take a trip to the gift shop, locked in the trunk of a car but don't wake daddy. We will miss you fully completely but hopefully Chris has the wherewithal to trickle down the rules and save the planet.

Dana - thanks so much for all the time and effort you devoted to running the challenges, so that we the members could have the fun (and, well, challenge) of taking photographs to fit the theme and submit for voting. Your ideas and smooth running of the challenge will indeed create large shoes for Chris to fill*. Enjoy your well-earned retirement, and again, thank you so much!

(*Chris keeps making some analogy about big feet being a sign of something or other, but he won't give any more specifics)

Thanks too to terri for bringing TwistMyArm's retirement to the attention of members in a separate thread. I did not see the announcement in this thread, and would have felt terrible if TMA's departure had gone unnoticed.

 

[TwistMyArm]

Thanks everyone. I'll miss the Challenge, but I'll still be around the forum. I think Chris is going to do a great job and look forward to seeing some great new challenges. Thanks again Chris for agreeing to take over the challenge.


Oh, and thanks for that Mike. That was great.

Sorry to hear that you are stepping down, but I (we all) understand. Thank's for all you have done over the past years. Wishing you the best & God bless!
