Hello, everyone!

Many of you may not have heard of me, but I have been one of the administrators of this place for a while. Until today, that is, after almost eight years of having a red name. The decision has been made some time ago, but I did not find the time to write up a nice post for the News Board, ironically (thanks, Breath of the Wild).

That is already an example for the main reason why I'm quitting: I have not really been a very active staff member for the last couple of years at least, neither here nor on the main site. I did the odd administrative job such as name changing, doing some maintenance work on the server and taking part in staff discussions, but there have been periods spanning consecutive weeks in which I did not even log in to MFGG once.

I used to treat this as a temporary situation, telling you and myself, that I'm prioritizing university and work, but this assumption was quite optimistic. Graduating and having a job means you have to be a lot more selective about what you do with your free time. And while administrating this place has been a blast while I was still in school, the true reason for why I joined MFGG 15 years ago was to play and make games.

I returned from retirement once, because there was nobody available or willing to captain this ship. But now there is. I'd pass my torch, but I held on to it for so long that it already burned up. VinnyVideo and crew have meanwhile picked up new torches and have been doing an amazing job. I fully trust them to not only maintain this place's unique flair, but to improve on it. They have plans for this place's present and future and unlike me they actually know members who joined less than 5 years ago.

While I will throw away the coaly remains of my admin torch, I will still remain with you as a member, so this is not a good-bye post. I miss chatting, discussing our games, helping people improve and all that, so I'll try to be online more often, but I won't promise anything. Midas Machine comes first, then the forum.

One last thing for the newcomers among you: when MFGG started, all the staff was in their teens, but now we're all in our twenties at least. It is very atypical on MFGG for somebody to be staff for as long as I have been. So show your motivation to improve MFGG and become a pillar of the community, and you too, may be staff one day. This place can only survive with the energy and boredom of the youth. And if you have read the whole post until here, you're already potential future staff material.

See you guys around!

It's disappointing that you're throwing in the towel, but I understand all the same. In any case, I wish that your time as a normal user treats you well.

Again: not many are able to keep things going for such a long time with their dignity (and sanity) intact, so allow me to speak for everybody when I say: THANK YOU for your years of service. =)

Looking forward to Midas Machine -- as I keep telling Chaoxys, once it gets close to completion, I want to test and debug the heck out of it, offering fixes where needed. Haha.

It's sad to see you go, but I totally understand why you're stepping down. Thanks for all you've contributed as an admin, moderator, and QC staffer - and you sure have done a lot.

Sad.

Oh well, we knew this moment was inevitable for a long time. In fact, it's been so long I almost thought you forgot to step down.
Thanks for all that you've done. I miss your red name. It contrasted well with the Austrian flag.

You can still look at your own name :)


Thanks for the warm words guys!

Oh uh, I can't say I wasn't expecting this completely, but it's still kinda sad. But you were a great admin, we will definitely miss you as a staff member.

As others had stated, it's kinda sad that you will be resigning, but someone has to step down sometime, thanks for your service throughout MFGG history.

Never knew you are a pure genius in our hearts, but it is melancholy depressing to see you leave. If there is one favorable thing I have the say, even though I haven't known you so well...

Eight years is a lot, and you've certainly shown yourself as a great personality to look upon. Your work has made MFGG a great place after all these years.

I saw you online here the other day and thought "that guy hasn't done anything here at all lately, why's he still an admin?"

I suppose you were thinking the same thing!

Yup I didn't even have time to resign when I originally wanted to, which is why it took months to first tell the staff I want to quit and then two more months till I made this thread :p
