I started to make this as an announcement, but I think it should be more of a "thank you". I know many of you are still in shock from yesterday's news of Kelly stepping down. Trust me, I'm right there with you. In fact, my head is still spinning from everything happening so quickly.
I swear to all of you that I will do my absolute best to uphold the highest level of standards that Kelly has set before us. She has created for us an incredible environment to share our admiration and respect for a wonderful actor, Skeet Ulrich. She has worked hard and long ensuring that we would have the latest up-to-date information, news, photos, videos, etc. We all owe her our gratitude and our respect!!! Please see that she continues to receive both.
Capturing Skeet and the Forum have always been, and will forever remain, a place to go not only for the most current news, but also the most endearing relationships. We all are very blessed to have found each other to share our love of Skeet, but also to share ourselves in the process. I know that all of you will continue to contribute in your own way to this wonderful home of ours with your generosity, your love, your compassion, your humor, and your mind blowing talents and skills.
If you have any concerns/suggestions/questions/recommendations, please notify me or Christy (or any of our beautiful moderators) immediately. We can't work out a solution to a problem we're unaware of. I want us to always, as a family, have open communication. We have a great team and the best members!!! I very much appreciate Kelly's trust and confidence in me.
Again, we owe Kelly our promise to help her legacy live on and we owe it to her AND ourselves to cherish these precious friendships we have been so graciously given.
Thank you, Kelly.

Hear Hear! Eloquently put Harley. Eternal thanks to Kelly and best wishes to you in your new role. Taffy Eloquent is the exact word I thought of too. We all love Kelly and will miss her like heck, but Skeet is still here and we still love him so we'll carry on. Thanks Harley for taking care of our home and place of refuge. (that sounds a little heavy) And thanks to Kelly for creating it in the first place. Sherry

Beautifully said, Harley. I know that you will do an amazing job, because I know how much you respect and admire Skeet. He is a very lucky guy to have you as administrator of his biggest fan site. We are all very blessed to have this site to bring us all together. Thank you for all you do and all you will do in the future.

We owe to Kelly our deepest thanks for this womderful site, and hope that she will visit sometimes. As for you Harley, there is no doubt in my mind, and surely in the mind of others, that you will do a wonderful job. I am not good with the computer but plan on taking some lessons, so, maybe, I will be of some help.

I've had some questions about Kelly stepping down and want to make sure that everyone understands that it had NOTHING to do with the Gutter or any of us. She has her own reasons and as you all know she's working very hard on her new site Discovering Esai. So please don't think that she left because of anything that was done here by anyone. (Does that make sense? ) She still loves you all. Anyway...... I just wanted to clear that up. She only has so much time and can only give so much to each site. Instead of trying to split what little time she has between two different sites, she decided to give 100% to just one. She is doing a beautiful job with the new one just like she did with this one! I have no doubts it will be just as huge of a success. She's been a big help with the gallery, etc. and we all owe her for letting us continue to share this wonderful place with each other. to Kel!

Everything Harley said is true! The gutter had nothing to do with why I left! I will always admire Skeet and his work but he just wasn't doing it for me enough to spend the time it takes to make a website like this run smoothly. Until you step into a web admins shoes you have absolutely no idea how time consuming a website, forum and gallery are. Poor Harley knows first hand as we were both emailing at.. what was it 4:00 a.m. this morning Harley?? Esai has the part of my heart that belongs to unattainable lust objects (I only have one little small area so no room for more than one). Exploring his career and spending time with people who feel the same as I do is where I wanted to spend some of my free time, just like all of you want to spend your free time here with other Skeet fans talking about Skeet. I couldn't do that running the show here. Plus I lacked the enthusiasm too. I didn't feel that was fair to the Skeet fans or Skeet. Harley and Christy have what it takes to keep something like this alive and I am now confident that things are working out for the best!! I will still stop in and torture you all from time to time and even join in on the gutter talk... cuz that's what us women do! Thank you all so much for supporting this place and continuing to support this place. I am very proud of what I accomplished and proud that Harley thought enough about my work to want to continue with it!!
