Steping down as a moderator.

**Barry Theal** · 11-28-2011, 10:57 PM

At this time I would like to thank the incredible staff at 3D Products for allowing me to moderate the Number 1 car detailing forum on the net. To all my fellow Autopians it has been a great, but I will be stepping down from moderator position at this time. This is actually a tough choice for me,and wasn`t an easy one to make. Its something I thought long and hard about, but to keep things open I have decided to pursue a new adventure and will not simply have time to fully give to Autopia. I look foward to still participating in the conversations and continuing to help everyone as well as learning from all the wonderfull people on here. Once again, Thanks for the incredible opportunity.

Gentleman,

Well thanks for all the emails. Recently my wife and I decided to move into a new house! Its gonna be a great upgrade it another town. LOL it has a in ground pool thats fenced in as well. This is great for me. Now of the kids running by won`t be able to see that Fat guy swimming. ( ME ) On top of that, I have some thing s that I want to pursue with my business, For the longest time I have been wanting to set up a few things. IF all goes well I don`t want it conflict with 3D international or Autopia.org. The gentleman at 3D have been nothing but great to me since I have met them threw Autopia. I will still be working with them and doing what ever I can to help them in anyway possible. I have big dreams that I always like to chase its time to put my efforts towards them. Many of forum members on here who have taught me the ways. A big props to a very dear friend David Fermani. David has been not only a great mentor to me, but as well he has watched me grow and along the way has become an incredible friend. I have really begun to come fascinated with the science behind detailing chemicals and the mechanics of how things work. I want to pursue more then just detailing cars. So while its been great as a moderator, I just want to be the normal autopian.
