My Resignation

[Crabwhale]

I dunno where exactly to put this at, but yeah. As the title makes pretty clear, I am resigning from my position of discussion mod, and leaving the wiki in general for...I don't know.

It's not anything any one user has done. It's not any bad thread or bad decision or whatever that's the reason. It's a vast multitude of things that have dragged on and on on my mental state until I find myself tonight, exhausted and at my wit's end.

I...like responsibility. It makes me feel validated, and important. I like undertaking tasks that are important because of that. I like seeing those tasks to the end, because I am stubborn to a fault. I like helping friends, because I want people to be happy. But in all of that I feel like I've been ignoring myself and some other, far more pressing matters in my life. And it has cost me dearly already.

So tonight, as I find myself tired to the bone (pun intended), I am making a conscious choice. I am not going to comment here. I am not going to edit here. I am going to be completely and totally inactive. I am done...for now.

I also don't want anyone contacting me, anywhere. Because although I'll probably be pretty good at shutting it all off, even seeing one of the wonderful people here might convince me to come back sooner than what I neeed.

On that note, let me stress enough that this has nothing to do with any of you. At all. People are what I'm going to miss the most. Individuals, friends that brighten my day and soul, and make laugh and cry and love like I've never done before in my life.

To them I say, this is not the end. I will be back. I can assure all of you of that. But right now...it's been wonderful meeting you all.

Goodbye, all of you.

Crabwhale! Of course, real life and health comes first. We will always be here, waiting for you to come back. You can bet on it.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Goodbye and take care. You're welcome back at anytime definitely.

 

[CrimsonStarFallen]

Crabssss

I love you

Get better my man.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Take care Crabwhale.

I just wanted to say you were incredibly helpful to the wiki, and I do look forward to you coming back. But I can understand your retirement as well as your desire to take a much needed break from the wiki. All I can say is, Godspeed.

 

[Theglassman12]

Take care Crab, hopefully you'll come back sooner than later.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

We didn't interact much, but I always liked seeing you around. You always put a smile on my face and always gave off good vibes, which are invaluable in this world. Take care, my friend.

 

[ZeroTC01]

You've done a lot for us both here and in JBW, you more than deserve a rest. Like everyone else, looking forward to seeing you again soon. Take care, man.

 

[Ryukama]

Thanks so much for all the help you've given to this site and to Joke Battles. Your mental health and personal wellbeing are infinitely more important, so please prioritize that. Farewell my friend

 

[Super_Saiyan_God_Julian]

Gonna miss you Skeletal Whale. You where such a cool dude and you managed to take care of JBW as well when I was no longer around. We only really got to know each other for a short while (while I meet you in 2018, we only really spoke now) and I can tell you are a cool person overall. I'm gonna miss ya a lot.

See you soon, Skeletal 40K Warhammer Nut.

 

[Elizhaa]

Understandable so best of luck to you, Crawbwhale. Like other said, you are welcome anything you want.

F for respect

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

See ya skeleboy.

 

[C2_of_Omegon]

Understand, bud. Hope to see you around here again, one day. If not, then I hope life treats you well. Thank you for time and effort, man.

As one 40k fan to another: Ave Imperator.

 

[JoshSSJGod]

You've been a great mod. Even though we never been in many threads the ones we did share were some of the smoothest I've ever seen.

I hope you'll be happier and less stressed. Best of wishes for ya.

 

[EmperorRorepmeThree]

Aye brother, you will be missed. I hope you come back for the End Times, the Wolftime.

 

[MaxForward]

• salutes*

 

[First_Witch]

This is it huh, the end of our endless battles over costudy.

Insiders aside, get yourself a good rest. You have worked hard enough and everyone here knows that. Come back to us if you feel ready for it, this place and us will be there for you.

 

[AgentJojoBerserk]

Damn, this is a piece of good advice for me. I should really worry more about the real world instead of the Internet. I understand you Crab, and I wish you luck in the future. If we ever meet again, I'll be ready for then. But until then my bro, I grant you the rank of Master of the Autobots supreme commander.

 

[PsychoWarper]

Good luck you buff crustacean.

 

[Wokistan]

Obviously shamed off the site by inferior arm reveals

I'm pretty terrible at writing these messages, so I hope you'll just take my word for it that it's got more than the token well wishing effort put into it. You're a good guy to talk to, whether it be about fiction or random exercises or whatever, and I hope whatever's going on gets better for you.

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Good luck mate, hope you do well and god to bless you!

 

[DarkGrath]

Damn... this was emotional to read. I'm glad that you're getting your priorities straight, though, and that you're taking the steps needed to figure things out in life for yourself.

I hope things go well for you, and I hope we'll see you again someday.

 

[Starter_Pack]

Shame. A real shame this is the way it had to be.

Not that I won't say this isn't the healthy thing to do, especially if this is how you feel about the situation. However, I've always considered you a very level-headed individual, and your role as Discussion Mod has always felt justified due to how you handle rather intense situations with very reasonable language and actions, whenever necessary.

Safe travels, you spoopy scary skeleton. Until we meet again.

 

[The_Smashor]

Take all the time you need. I have no intention of leaving, so I'm sure I'll see you around again eventually. Good luck.

 

[KLOL506]

F man. You were one of the most reasonable people on the wiki and I one of many I had fun talking with. We'll miss you. A LOT.

 

[Jinsye]

Noooooo my minecraft boi

I hope you get better man, truly do.

 

[Crazylatin77]

Good luck and take care. Other users have already said it, but I'm gonna repeat it anyway: Health and real life should always come first

 

[Caleb3429]

Goodbye man. As many others have said, real life comes first. I hope all goes well with whatever is going on for you. Thank you for helping me when I first got here, and for everything else I ever asked from you.

 

[Bobsican]

Good bye Crabwhale, your dinosaur legacy will never be forgotten.

 

[Holyhotsauce]

That's....a damn shame.

See you later, ya darn stubborn skeletal crustacean.

 

[Gemmysaur]

I never interacted with you at any point, but damn if someone leaving tugs at the heart strings.

Life comes first, and if life comes a knocking, you gotta let go of some things to answer the door. Goodluck with life, wish you all the best, and hopefully, the one knocking isn't just some newspaper dude or something.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Goodbye Crabwhale and take care of yourself.

 

[Antvasima]

You have been a good and helpful staff member and are always welcome back if you should change your mind, but real life comes first. Goodbye and please take care of yourself.

 

[Jasonsith]

Take care and come back anytime you think is ready.

 

[WHYNAUT]

Bye Crab and good luck.

 

[Overlord775]

Goodbye crabbo, hope the best for you

 

[Imaginym]

Farewell, Crabwhale! You'll always be welcome back, & I'm sure many appreciated your time & efforts spent here!!

Don't be scared to show your face around here! But until then, good luck & best wishes for you going through anything else in your life!

 

[AKM sama]

So this means you'll not be in touch via discord either? I'm sad.

Anyway, I get it. Real life comes first and when you gotta focus on that, you REALLY gotta focus on that. It's good to know that you'll be back and I hope in this break you'll resolve everything IRL and be back soon.

 

[The_King_of_Prudence]

I guess I'll just find him IRL and not tell him.

 

[The_Impress]

You monster what about the Black Panther match?

I've came to know you comparitively recently through Discord and I am so disheartened by this turn of events, given how we used to joke alot together and you were genuinely one of the most caring people I've met on the wiki. It's a damn shame but the fact is that your real life is indeed more important than comparitively trivial wiki responsibilities, so I wish you the absolute best, grandad
