I'm sorry if this all seems so sudden. After much thought and deliberation, I have come to a major decision. I shall be retiring my position as forum administrator. I will be handing the forum over to
@ibn-Adam
who I'm sure will take care of it well .
It's been a great honour and has been very fulfilling to have been the owner for the past 2 years, and I have made a number of developments to IB that I am very proud of. However, being the owner of a forum is no small task. Will need to focus more time on my other ventures, and I feel that the time has now come for me to move on.
Don't worry I will come on here time to time, to help out if needed (staff) and also share beneficial posts. So it's not like a leaving thread.
I enjoyed my 2 years here no doubt. Fun times, stressful times, happy times and enjoyable times .
I love you all for the sake of Allah. I would take time to write about each member, but that would take ages . Every one who is reading each letter now, I recognize you and appreciate you. Would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for making it just that bit more amazing.
I definitely don't want to see this forum die, or have problems. If so I shall help out and come to the rescue! But I'm sure the new owner will be able to tackle them .
Forgive me if I have ever been harsh with you or blunt and any hurt feelings to anyone. Also to those whom I infracted/banned, remember I only had the betterment of the forum in mind.
May Allah accept all my efforts in order to make forum better. May Allah accept efforts of all the moderators across 10 years for dedicating time here.
Farhan, i've known you quite some time, known your calling to do something great too - and now, I see you growing beyond your years... what can I say except mashaAllah.
Stay in an admin/mod role here - you bought many positive changes to the forum. Your younger and fresher input is always going to be important enough for the old guard to take into consideration.
I have been here for only some time, but I think you have been doing great here. It's nice to see that you are moving on to other ventures May Allah safeguard and protect you Ameen
Firstly to make it clear. No person, no incident and no scenario made me want to step down . It was entirely my decision by my self, weighing out pros and cons and trusting Allah .
To introduce your new owner. I couldn't have chose a better person than him.
@ibn-Adam
when I saw his sincerity and devotion for the forum I was shocked. I can assure you he will look after this place well, and wants best for the Online Muslim Community.
He joined here on 2006, became trainee mod at 2009. Working up to Moderator, Super Moderator and eventually Admin at 2009. Even when he was jewel after March 2016, he still helped out the new trainee moderators and assisting with general technical problems .
His technical knowledge is vast, much greater than mine. So no problems will happen from technical side of things.
I hope some of my ideas, consistency and enthusiasm rub off to the new owner .
I'm a bit relaxed on my moderation style, the new owner will be more stricter.
This brother has been here from the very start, I'm sure you'll all love his presence .
i I havnt been on here too long but your like our lil baby bro and you've brought so much to this place and made us newbies feel very welcome. This place is warm and I've grown attached to it but it shows great maturity on your part for making this decision, you'll always be in my duas and I pray Allah grants you sucess in both worlds Ameen.
Though I'm new member here but I definitely liked your posts and input.May Allah reward you for your good deeds with the best Aameen.Please do keep posting here
May Allah accept all the work you have put into this form and may he make this a means for you to enter junnah.
In sha Allah @ibn-Adam will bring more khair in this forum. And make good use of its members.
As for brother @farhan we all have to move on in life, as we all are traveler. Leaving ib will give lots of free time which you in sha Allah can use to help the ummah further and will give you a bit more time to look for a zawuja.
Sahih International: O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
