I know that right now Mark is pretty cut up about things - a decision that was a huge wrench for him, but a decision he had to make for his own sanity and family.
Swinging Heaven was his baby sad A baby that has grown up and got far too big for him, a baby that was swallowing up his time and energy.
I want to start a thread just for our darling Mark, I want to thank him for what he has given us over the years. Thank him from the bottom of my heart. He didn't know any of us from Adam, yet he built a site and ran it for us, right up until it got too much. A genuine bloke with a heart of gold.
So Mark if you're looking in - a great big THANK YOU for what you have done for us. I wish you and yours everything you dream of, and then some. :cheers:
kiss
My thoughts exactly
Thanks Mark its been fun, and thanks for restoring my avatar which I was such a numpty I couldnt do lol
Hope all goes well for you and yours in the future
I have to agree with Missy here.
Remember that if it wasn't for Mark and Helen then WE wouldn't be here now tearing our hearts out with a struggle for our friends. Some of us were lucky enough to spend a few days with Mark, Helen and family just a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful time. They embraced old friends and our partners equally and still had some time to do some Modding!
Sometimes somethings have to 'give'. It it were a choice of family and career over this site, after 3.5 years, then you know which one you'd make.
So passionkiss sillyassionkiss: :smitten: :passionkiss: to them both.

Well said Missy worship :worship: :worship:
No one will ever understand how much work Mark put into the site. When that begins to affect his family then the poor bloke had to make changes. I will always be grateful of what this site has brought us. Its not just swinging, all of us know its about our community and friends.
I'll raise one for you later Mark drinkies

I'd like to say thankyou for creating and running this site for the last few years.
Even though I disagree with the way things have been done, I want to extend my thanks for giving me a whole aspect to my sexuality I would have strugled to find without SH and the people in here, the policies you set up and the way it was run. For allowing me to have a space in here to develop who I am, to try new things and to move forward emotionally and with experiences I wouldn't have had without SwingingHeaven.
Truely an end of an era.

Well I have only been really involved in this site since September so quite new but I was beginning to get involved a fair bit and known .. I really hope it doesn't break this community up as I was beginning to enjoy feeling a part of it.
Don't know you Mark but thanks anyway for starting the site up as without it I wouldn't be here and having fun

I couldn't express my feelings any more exactly than by quoting what Gem said.
So thank you, Mark, for putting SH here in the first place and working so hard on it for so long. It must have been a hard decision to give it up. I hope it all works out for all of us and that we can keep enjoying ourselves here in the future, but for what you and SH have already given me so far, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Wishing you love, luck and happiness in the future.

Mark it was not just a swinging site you brought us. You brought us a caring community, a gathering of like-minded people who are happy to have been part of your creation.
It was only last month that I passed my two year mark and said how I had enjoyed the company of you and your helpers. Now I am left to wonder if the next two years will be the same.
I wish both Helen and yourself good luck and good health.

I can’t really add much to this, but also wanted to give my thanks to Mark. We have to realise that the place will never be the same again – change is inevitable.
But it was Mark who put it together in the first place and brought us together, for that alone he has my sincere gratitude.
I chatted to people who have become firm friends
I partied
I fell in love
I had my heart broken
I had my world torn apart
I played
I changed, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse
I laughed
I cried
All this would not have been possible without SH and the effort that Mark put into creating a world for us all. So a huge thank you Mark.
I don’t agree with what has been done and the manner which it was done, but at this moment it’s not important to this thread.
What is important is that you realise how happy you have made a lot of people over the years.
Mark,we never met or spoke but thank you for everything you did for my social life. lol
I wish you and your family the very best for the future,and above all......have fun!!!! ;)

Such a sad, sad day!
Mark, Helen and the kiddies - you are all much loved!
Be well and be happy, my friends.
I am one of the priviledged few who have met you and your family.
You are as fair in real life as you are on here.
I will miss you greatly!
You never know - one day we may actually make it over there for a visit!!!
Lots and lots of love to you all.
Big, big hugs and kisses,
Alex x x x
If you ever pop back to your old haunt - give me a bell and we'll grab a coffee!
Being part of the "staff" I have an understanding of how much work you put in Mark..
Thanks Boss...

You'll be made more than welcome... biggrin

Thank you for a rollercoaster couple of years. They have been great - truly. and without this Site I would probably not have met someone who now means so much to me.
good luck in everything you do - let's hope you now get a chance to improve your bowling!! wink
Take care wave

This is completely unacceptable, not to mention very unnatural. :? :? :? :? :cry:
