I can't apologize enough for all the lost posts you contributed and the time you dedicated to them.
I can't thank you enough for being understanding, supportive and loyal to this community.
I'm grateful, proud and lucky to be running this site for the last 8 years. You make it all worthwhile.
Being able to help others, make new friends and enjoy playing FM more... this is what this place is about.
This is a defining moment for me and the site. I intend to make it a positive one.
We're going to rebuild and make it stronger, better.
With your help, I'm confident that rebuilding will go fast and a year later we'll look at this day fondly.
Today we mourn, tomorrow we REBUILD!
it's some kind of test! Success doesn't come without... uh, failure. But you got through it!
Yesterday when the site went down, it was as if i had lost a vital organ from my body, all my family members were asking what was wrong, but i knew dey wouldn't understand so there was no need to tell them.
When it finally came back online, i saw your apology, i thought it was unwarranted because i wasn't thinking about my post, in fact i wuld have gladly reregistered just to rejoin this wonderful community.....
Thank you, Stam, for making this possible.
Don't feel bad Stam, it wasn't your fault! All of us are grateful for work you've put into the site and we'll be back to normal in no time!
Don't worry stam :), sh*t happens. As alot of people above me said.
Its not your fault.
We will support each other and get through it, and as you have said in a couple of your posts, we will rebuild.

Keep the site going Stam!! We aren't giving up on you!
Thanks Stam. You've probably never seen me before as I just made my account but I have been lurking around this site for quite a while and have been impressed with the quality of the stories, the loyal site, and all the things such as Social Scouting that you and your crew have put so much work on. Thanks to you for inspiring me to buy my first copy of FM ever.

This is the reason I hold you in such high regard, Stam. You have created an atmosphere on FMScout that I have yet to experience anywhere else. We all started like 'Madrista', with a mere 3-4 posts, but now look at me. 600-odd posts and a moderator status later, I feel this site is where my every FM need is fulfilled.
