    Stepping down.

    Hi all.

    I would like you all to know that i have decided to step down from the admin side of things now that the new crew are in full swing. I will no longer be associated with the running of the site or any decision making within it. May i take this opportunity again to thank all of you that have stuck by VPCUK, myself and the team over the years, its been a bumpy road but fun to say the least.

    I will soon be a mortal member, i wonder how long before someone bans me lmao

    I would like to that J for all the work he has done,

    but sadly I haven't seen him do any yet.

    But seriously you're a star & this place wouldn't be what is has become without you.

    However this does mean the real abuse about RS4 ownership can really start - LMAO!

    Thanks Justin for all the work you have done keeping the site together. I won't mention the some of our members who should be banned, you know who you are

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
