Social Anxiety Support

Thunder · 07-22-2008, 12:59 AM

Becky and I have decided it's time to move on. Beginning as soon as today and over the next week we'll be transferring SAS and SAF to a new owner, Drew. We expect both sites will be in good hands.
Here is Drew:

"I have a personal history with social anxiety and that's how I came upon Social Anxiety Support. I've owned and operated a handful of community websites over the years and now I'm interested in doing the same with a social anxiety community. SAS is the best social anxiety community, but I have ideas for new features and ways to reach out to more people. I'm open to suggestions and feedback because it's your community too."

We would like to thank the moderators who have worked so hard over the years to make both sites safe and keep them running smoothly.

Sad to know that you folks are leaving

Although I'm new to the site I can absolutely and positively say that your initiative in setting up this community and your continual support thereafter has been invaluable to all us SAD folks.

Thanks a million Becky and Brian!!!

Wish you all the best for all your future endeavours.

Thank you for the work you've done in creating this site. I'm new here, but I can already see that it's a really great place. A site like this is absolutely essential for social anxiety. Good luck with your future endeavours.

Oh wow, that's crazy. Good luck with whatever you two decide to do. I doubt this is something you would do lightly and I'm sure it was a lot of work. Thanks!
