I don't think anyone will have seen this coming. Some of you perceptive lads that have noticed my disappearances from around here for days at a time becoming more and more frequent may have, but yeah.
If you haven't guessed already, this is it. I'm resigning.
Why am I doing this? A lot of reasons, but primary among them is work. I'm entering year 2 of the IB Diploma Program, and it is a bitch and three quarters. I am barely sleeping as it is, and I quite simply do not have time for this incredible website anymore. Real life is getting in the way.
God I'm getting freaking emotional writing this. I know that it is for my own good that I leave, but I've made such wonderful memories here. And you guys have taught me so much. My life was a mess when I stepped into here, but now everything has straightened out. Last year, I was slowly and inexorably failing at all facets of school, and was alone, fat and friendless, and on the verge of suicide. This year, I came top of my year in mathematics, scored 1480 in the SAT, actually pulled myself off the couch and exercised, and met some incredible friends and a wonderful girlfriend (who is a user here).
It's all thanks to you guys. Every person that I have interacted with here has just been so kind and genuine. To discuss your favourite verses with some of you is an honest pleasure as you are so passionate and care so much.
I want to personally thank each and every one of you, but then this post would go on for days and I've already been writing for ages. But there is one person who deserves to be called out.
Apies. God, where do I start, mate? You were the nicest person to me, period, for the longest time. You've introduced me to some excellent horror (The Thing, The White Vault, to name but a few) and you may be proud to hear that The Thing was the first movie I ever watched with the girl who would become my girlfriend. I can't fit everything I want to say to you hear, but just, dude, thank you so much. For everything.
For the record, this may not be the last time I grace these waters. I may be back. Who the hell knows? Certainly not this idiot. But I sincerely hope I do.
601 days and just over 7000 edits. It's been real. I love you guys.
Crimson Azoth, signing off for the last time.
