Not forever, far from. After about a year here as mod (6 days added to my 1 year anni,) I just had enough. Too many expectations, too much work, too high of standards. I'd like to think I did a good job while I was staff, but it just got to be too much socially. Thanks to everyone who supported me, but I'm officially no longer staff here. I'm still confused about whether it was a demotion or me retiring, and I don't mind either way. Feels like a million shackles have been released and I can play with confidence in the rules. I thought I was just the 'realest' of the staff members, acting the most 'human,' but I really was just underprepared.
I'll still be active on LA/USJB, US Trade Minecraft, and I'll pop in USEZDB or LA Hightower No Carts occasionally. You bet your ass I'll be making reports on the forums though, no matter where I am. I didn't lose respect for anyone here or Blackwonder as a whole. You may not realize it, but they really got their shit together compared to some other *ahem* defunct communities.TF2SwapShop
Feels like a long time coming, and it's sorta bittersweet. Leaning toward bitter, but it's nothing a little time can't heal. See y'all soon- and you'll finally get to see how I actually am, without the implied 'politeness' barrier staff has!
