| Well..this is hard to type out...I'm taking a sabbatical, or a semi-retirement
From MIB and Micros. Not forever, I'm just..leaving for a good long while. I'm...not..quitting 100%. I'll still be around here and there, and a micro or two will pop up everynow and then...but..I think it's time for me to step down being the head admin, and probably admin period. That last part is up to the powers that be.
Yes, there's a number of reasons, I'm worried about a lot of things to do with this board, be that I'm doing a good job, or not enough, I've felt this way for a while now, and yeah, the latest fight did help push me that way too, but, I was looking at the statistics of the board the other day and it made me sad. I've been at this on the board...for..err....4/5 years? I think? And I've been microing since 02-03. So that's a long time haha.
But yeah, I'm stepping down as Head Admin, for personal reasons and political reasons. The last...hoopla that was on this board took a lot of out me and I may agree with some of the things that were said, and how things were done.
I just honestly have NO drive at all anymore for micros. Which sucks, because it's a HUGe outlet for me.
Also, for a replacement, Spaz will be taking my place. I trust him to do way better than me and to kick ass on the staff!
I'm thinking of MIB like a TV show. After so many awesome seasons, there comes a time where it's like...ok...let's...just stop. And I have never ever been a fan of something that just goes on and on and doesn't know when to quit. So that's why I'd rather quit during a good season, and while it's still good and before...it turns all zombiefied on me. Haha.
So, thank you guys SO much for allowing me to do this and letting me make the board a better place. I had fun!
D
Ps, I'm posting my last set of micros soon along with a little history of me. _________________ -Den-

| Well, I shall endeavor to measure up to the example you set. I want to be worthy of being your replacement. It's been a helluva ride, and I remember how much fun we've had over the last 7 years. You know I won't let you disappear completely, so this isn't really a goodbye from me... See you around Den _________________ Thanks to all those how have made me avvies.... those I could fit on this and those I couldn't. My micros are my own.

| Yeah, thanks for the time you did spend as Admin. I'm sure we'll still see you about here and there....maybe stepping back into a "regular member" role will help inspire you again? I'd really like to start doing some work myself - maybe we can push each other! | |

| You were a fantastic Admin, and an inspirational leader. Your presence will be missed, and I hope that one day you'll have all your troubles sorted out and taken care of. I've been honored to call you friend, and that I hope that this isn't the end of that as well. You know where I'm at. so don't be a total stranger.
Spaz: HUGE congrats to you for your promotion to Administrator. I, along with the rest of the board, will be expecting great things from you. I have faith in your ability to lead, and to set the example for the rest of us to follow. | |

| Sorry to hear you won't be around as much but I can't say I blame you.
You did an awesome job as Admin and you should be proud of what you did with this board despite the recent events. Hopefully we'll see you again sooner rather than later, but until then we have Spaz to look after us. | |

| Well,tho I didn't really know you that well,I can say you did a good job as an Admin,always having fair arguments,being serious and at the same time funny in the right moments.
Life can go really loca sometimes,and it's really better to take a break from certain things to bring everything back (or close enough) to normal.
I know this isn't the last time we'll be hearing from you,so see you around,buddy! You'll be missed,be sure of that.
I know Spaz will do just fine with the new job (congrats dude,and good luck).
May the force be with you,master!
P.S.: For some reason,this whole thing is reminding me of the Aerosmith vocalist situation. lol | |
