News From Eric- Please Read
Hey everyone.
For almost 2 years the Game Used Forum has brought collectors, dealers and authenticators together to discuss the hobby we love. The forum has empowered collectors to have their voices heard, and helped people make more informed purchases. It has been my pleasure to moderate the discussions. It has helped me learn an incredible amount, and introduced me to some great people, who I can call friends.
It is with regret that I announce that Thursday October 19th will be my last day as moderator. This job takes a tremendous amount of time. As the forum has expanded, so have the time commitments. Because of family and work obligations, I no longer can provide the proper energy to do the forum justice.
I would like to thank all the people at Game Used Universe for support in helping make the forum what it is today. In fact, I will be turning the reigns over to Chris Cavalier, whom I fully trust will bring the forum to the next level. His announcement of my replacement will follow. A big thank you goes to Chris and GUU for their dedication to the hobby.
I’m not leaving the forum, I’ll be staying on as a Game Used Universe advisor, and will still be an active participant in the daily postings, just not in a 24/7 capacity.
I am very proud of the work everyone here has done and will continue to do. I thank everyone for your participation, information, and enthusiasm toward the goal of making the hobby better.
Now it’s my turn to enjoy the hobby from the other side. I’ll see you on the forum.
Again, thanks for everything.

Eric,
Thanks for making this vision a reality. The type of research discussed here on a daily basis simply did not exist among collectors prior to the birth of this forum. I know you are modest, but your efforts have truly revolutionized the hobby. We all appreciate your efforts, and personally speaking, I am grateful for your friendship. We all thank you for your time, patience, and commitment to this site.

Eric - You have created a very unique community here which has been educational and fun to be a part of.
I personally thank you for the knowledge I have gained from the Forum and also for the new friends I have found on here.
I know I have said this to you before, if I can ever help you with any items personally---please call.
Thanks. Andrew

Eric,
Tremendous thanks. Your contribution is unprecedented. Chris is up to the task, I am sure, and I thank you both for your tireless efforts and substantial successes.

Thanks Eric! I don't know how you have done it for so long. This forum has helped a lot of people, including myself, learn so many different aspects of the hobby. Everyone in the hobby knows about this site, whether they contribute or not, and it has made an impact. We all owe you! Thanks again!

If you hadn't created this forum, by now I would have completed all the missions on "Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas".
But seriously, a sincere "thanks" for your hard work!
