Hello there, i'm sure that when you first read that title you were like "HOHOHO ANOTHER JOKE THREAD" however this time it's NOT a joke.

I am going to be retiring, though perhaps calling it more of an extended leave of absence would be more accurate. There is a few reasons for this. (none bad). I shall list these below.

As many of you will know I am currently at university and this september I begin my FINAL year of the course, I feel removing the responsibility of having to go to servers and do reports/call-admins will give me a better chance to do a lot better on my studies as I wont feel bad about not doing anything when I see people begging for help in #requesthelp. (Actually I probably will tbh.) Being an admin may seem like it's an easy job but it can take a lot out of you and can be quite the time commitment.

I have been sitting on a BUTT-LOAD of games I've been meaning to play/finish for a long time. For example. the Witcher 3 and Watchdogs 2. Before I came to Blackwonder I was a console player for the most part and would still have the game I played most just like tf2 today but I would also go play other games when I wanted and sure I could do that now but when I became an admin I signed up to help so that's what I do and I don't regret it.

Similar to having a lot of games to play I have SO many shows to catch up on! the number of times i'm watching an intense part of a show trying to catch up and I get a message from some poor person who needs help, I'm sorry Mr Random Citizen you'll need to go elsewhere for the time being.

Now to put you at ease:

  • No: i'm not going to just disappear :p I will still be around all the time in discord/steam/forums as I am now.
  • Yes: I will still come on servers and help from time to time, hell it'll still be fairly often, It'll just be when I feel like as opposed to coming for 2 seconds just to ban someone. :)
  • Maybe: I will rejoin full time once my course is finished but at that point my main priority will be finding work in the real world.
  • Will: I come out of retirement/break at Christmas time to help full time? Maybe.
  • What: will we do with a drunken sailor? Put him in a leaky boat with a hose pipe.
  • We're: gonna need a bigger boat.
...
When: will this happen?

I am NOT going to be retiring the second I have finished this thread. This thread is just announcing it. I suppose you can consider this my 2 (and a half) weeks notice as it were. I will still be a full admin and coming and helping (if not busy) at the same rate I currently do until the 1st of September. At which point i'll get a shiny new purple name and be retired/on my break.

I have also made a youtube video you should all watch.

I was afraid that you would just be flat out gone for a while. Happy to see that you will still be on the forums. Never talked with you but I respect you.

I definitely feel you. What people, who haven't been an admin of a server before, don't realize is that it's a duty. A duty takes time out of what you want to do and need to do outside of gaming. You've done a lot for the benefit of this community, and we are all thankful. Best of luck with your studies!
