Hello, everyone. Some... things have happened in the past few days that have been kind of crazy, in wake of a bunch of arguments and opinions in the like. Needless to say, it was very unpleasent, and it kind of dampered the mood of tSR while it was going on.
I myself wasn't around for a lot of it, as I'm not around for a lot of stuff here in the first place these days. I've been contemplating this for a few months, now, and I think it's time that I step down from my position as administrator of this forum. I'm going to be a senior in high school this year, I'm going to be taking some rigorous classes, and I'll have a lot of art to do as well, because I'm heading off into a career of art and art education. I'm going to be running Cross Country in the fall (actually, a week before school starts, which is in the summer still, but, y'know,) and of course you all know I avidly play soccer (indoor during the winter, school during the spring) and I am going to have a lot on my plate in the coming year. I unfortunately do not think I can place my full attention and interest into administrating this forum during that time. I have also been enjoying my busy summer thus far, and it's reasonable to say that I'm going to have a job here shortly, in order to make money for my gas, myself, and a huge trip my friends and I have planned for the end of senior year. I'm going to be taking myself places this year, and it's definitely going to be a different experience.
I have had an amazing time leading you guys and I've made so many friends here in the process. I grew to love the forum ever since I first visited Pixeltendo, and I never imagined that I'd one day be one of the leading admins of the place! I've loved hosting tSR's events, including Secret Santa and the like, and I've really enjoy sharing my experiences with you all and learning more about each and every one of you, but I do feel as if it's time I move on to bigger and better things. I've decided that no matter how much I'd like to keep my position, that I truly need to do this, in order to dedicate myself to my life and my ambitions more. My ambitions do not lie in video game resources, video games, or even gaming itself, and I've realized that, in a lot of factors, I myself don't always fit the status quo. My opinions differ from many of yours at times, but we all know how to eventually get along with each other, despite that. I really respect every single one of you and will always remember the experiences I shared with you here, as they changed who I am as a person.
This isn't to say that I'll be completely leaving the forum, as I would love to stay in contact with most each and every one of you. However, I will post and visit much less frequently in order to dedicate my time to things that I feel like need dedication, and perhaps I can push myself to become even better at everything I love. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys, so I want to thank all of you for making my run as a moderator and administrator of tSR a great one. I will be moving into the "retired staff" position as have many of our current members, so if I'm ever needed I can make a swift return to save things or something along those lines, but in any case, I feel like I'm ready to move on, and so are many of you. It's time for a new generation of members to step in and start taking up the banner of tSR, and perhaps, become admins themselves someday. It's possible!
Anyways, I hope to continue to see tSR blossom, as well as tVGR, as Dazz has really outdone himself with the work on everything, and he-- and the rest of the resource workers-- truly deserve it. I am proud to have been an essential part of this website for so long, and it's really sad, but we all have to move on eventually. Life goes on, and so will this site! I leave with you with words from one of my favorite poets:
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
