Hi everyone, you may have read the posts about me being the new owner of Forum Promotion. Truth is I hadn't planned on introducing myself until after everything was finalised between myself and the existing owners, but as the issue has already been discussed I thought it best to address the topic.

As many of you will already know, I've agreed a deal for the purchase of this excellent community. The deal isn't fully closed and finalised yet, but I've every confidence that it will go smoothly. My own background is in business and I own Business Advice Forum, which I started from scratch.

First off I'd like to thank everyone for the work they have done on making this an excellent community. I sincerely do believe that this is an excellent forum and that's why I have invested in it. It would be unfair of me to name the members and staff who have done so much for FP, because being new I might miss someone. But you know who they are and I applaud their excellent work.

Some members have expressed their wishes that I don't make any drastic changes here and I'd like to assure everyone that I've no plans to do anything like that. I purchased this community because I believe it is great the way it is.

One thing that I can be sure of is that I will make some mistakes along the way. No one is perfect and this forum is new to me, so there may be some teething problems, as I settle in and learn the ropes. Please forgive any initial mistakes I make but be sure to let me know about them or if you are not happy with something I do. Also, please feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

I'm really delighted to be here and am looking forward to learning lots and getting to know everyone here.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for leaving FP the same 😀! You seem to be a nice guy, great spelling and grammar, hopefully a benefit to the FP community.

You said ask any questions, ok I got one, do you have MSN?

Welcome to FP Fergal, it's great to finally break in after a long day of negotiation yesterday 🙂.

I know you'll do a great job Administrating the forum, and sincerely look forward to seeing how it progresses in the future.

Congratulations on acquiring such a brilliant community, and good luck in the future! 🙂
 
Welcome to the community Fergal, i'm sure you'll do a great job 🙂
 
*Claps*

Very good introduction post, Fergal. At first the idea of an admin with 0 posts confused me and when I found out that someone had bought the place I had my concerns. For all I knew this new admin could have been some spoiled rich kid who had bought their way to getting a successful forum. Clearly, after you have introduced yourself in such a polite and mature way, I see this is not the case. I hope you do a good job here and I'm glad to see you're already getting tuned in to the community here. Good luck, and good job! As your post surpassed my expectations, + rep for you! You just made my day. 😉
 
Welcome to Forum Promotion Fergal and congratulations on a fantastic purchase. I hope the running of this forum goes smoothly for you and I'll look forward to seeing how you do and get on 🙂 As a former Moderator of the forum I can tell you the staff a joy to work with and every single person makes the community very special! See you around 🙂
 
Welcome to running the forum, I hope you do a great job and continue FP's success.
