I mean, I am kinda rolling my eyes at some of the pearl clutching, as if there are any men in this world who haven't done something sleazy in their past that they (hopefully) regret.
On the other hand, I kinda get that this particular sleazy act was not just a thing that happened, but a thing that specifically happened in relation to the running of this board by the admin of the board. It's not a good look for the admin of the board, but also it's not a good look for the board itself.
Kinda seems obvious what needs to happen.

I'll keep it short. If you and those around you feel that you have grown and are a different person. Keep showing that you have grown and if you haven't already apologize to those effected.

I just find it really, really sad that people willingly sent nude photos of themselves to a stranger on the internet for the sake of a coloured name on a message board. Just... what? Ehh.

I love this board very much and have been here since the WC days. Now it feels very different after having read that.
I feel like posting that and saying you have no intention of stepping down is the wrong move. Otherwise, it does indeed smack of wanting nothing but pats on the back.

I don’t want to harp on it, but it’s also weird it’s only in this section. I don’t think it’s been done for any nefarious reason, just weird.

I'm not sure that's an entirely apt comparison to some sort of degree. This has never been a business for me; I've never seen a dime in the years this place or the main site has operated. For whatever that is worth, I feel that should be said. I just find it really, really sad that people willingly sent nude photos of themselves to a stranger on the internet for the sake of a coloured name on a message board. Just... what? Ehh. No one involved were strangers. We were friends years before that, and we all remain in some form of contact with one another to this day. Obviously not "that" form of contact, but they were and are friends, before, during and after. I feel like posting that and saying you have no intention of stepping down is the wrong move. I did not say I had no intention of stepping down, just not at this time. With that said...

With the above out of the way, I'm going to keep this part as short as possible.
Something in my personal life happened recently - nothing criminal or controversial or even 'gross' - so that when the Speaking Out thing started, I realized I wanted to get that out so whatever pieces from it needed to fall could fall. So I posted it, and I do not regret doing so. What I do regret is hurting some of you in the process. I wanted to open a dialogue and get some things said, and...well, they were said. I admit I did not quite anticipate what has entailed afterward, but I knew going in what I was doing.
This board has meant the world to me, in all of its various mutations going back to the Delphi forum. I have done what I can to make it better than it was the previous day, the previous year. I've stumbled, I've tripped but I did what I believed best.
The "something" I mentioned earlier, the thing that made it easier for me to bring this out to light, already had me thinking on how this place should/would keep going and I intended to wait until then. But I hear you, and I am going to do what's best for the boards now instead of then. With this post, I am stepping down as administrator, and stepping away from the boards. There will be a day or two for a new admin to take their place (there is a process that requires help from ProBoards support), but effective immediately, this will be my last post here.
I do thank you all. Thank you for saying what needed to be said. Thank you for the years together. Please take care of this place. Please take care of yourselves.

And that post coming up when I was typing mine made my post sort of pointless. Fair enough then, take care.

Well... What you did was inappropriate, but I'm not going to hold it against you. You were man enough to admit you screwed up in life and did something morally wrong. Most people try to weasel out of that. There's things I've done in my life I have felt guilt over that I wish I could undo, but you have to accept it.
I suppose it's too late to apologize for all the times I caused grief on the forums.

Wow that’s disgusting. After a decade and a half posting here I really thought better of you. I look forward to who ever is appointed the new Admin.

Honestly I think many of you are being way too harsh.
He is a man that matured , came clean and talked with the people he wronged. It was 12 years ago after all,it is not the same man.
That said ,I do not endorse that you HAVE to step down and leave,but if you feel that is right, have a good life man,take care.

I sure came late into this. I regret that as I have been following the thread but was unsure how to comment.
I think we all need to take a step back here.
What's done is done, and it seems that Madison has made up his mind.
Remember that we as a community are, despite many disagreements that are usually shallow, pretty intelligent. I even like to think that the majority of us all like and enjoy each other's presence.
Let's just, I dunno, take a breath. Remember that we are friends, and do our best to carry on with the spirit of what FAN is supposed to be.

Just curious...you just admitted to abusing your power as a mod on a site. Now I’m not a “big poster” but I’ve had this account for over a decade, and prior to that I had a old account when the board first was created. I would say overall, I may be one of the “OG’s” of this board and even though I appreciate you opening up about that.....I feel like you abused any “power” you have on the site, and you shouldn’t be allowed to moderate. That’s a pretty shitty thing to do and if it had been anyone on the board trying to get nudes from other posters they’d be banned.

Well, to whoever takes over as Admin of the forum, I really wish them luck.
I've been on this forum a long time, but even my time here amounts to a fraction to the time some others have been here. I love this place, I only want to see it be better, and I only hope I can continue doing so along with others.
I dunno if you'll read this Madison, but what you did obviously wasn't right, but as some have said, it was 12 years ago, I imagine you've gone through a lot of change in your life since then. I hope whaever is going on now, also isn't a huge deal, I know about big changes and disruptions in life... more than I should.
I also agree with other posters here, this should be pinned on every board here. Especially if Madison is officially stepping down, this is kind of news everyone needs to know and be aware of, regardless of how it may be taken.
Let's continue to make FAN a better place guys, for everyone to enjoy!

Why I don't condone the behavior, that was twelve years ago, Madison. Be proud of what you help create. I wish you well in life. Good luck to the next admin.
