View Full Version : My Resignation

I want to start off by saying that I love this place and all you crazy people, and that I'm not leaving the community or anything like that.

I'm just stepping down as Site Director.

I'm sure that's going to piss people off, that I'm doing it now, when we've been talking about trying to bring the site back and get the forums going again and all that. To those of you that are mad, I'd like to say that I'm sorry. I really am.

But this past weekend had me thinking a lot about what the fuck is going on in my life, about the dreams I'll never accomplish for one reason or another, and the ones I CAN accomplish. And I came to a point of clarity where I realized that I'm not pushing hard enough, not doing nearly enough, to progress to what I want out of life for myself, my son, and for my career.

I have goals. A long list of things I want to do, want to be a part of, and want to accomplish in my life as an artist. This year has shown me I have a good stepping stone towards those things. I've been able to be a part of several art shows, been able to do work for charity and been involved with published writers and artists on projects that are the kinds of things I've been dreaming of. But I've also been lazy, and barely shooting, and not doing the kinds of things I SHOULD be doing to achieve what I want.

I have to change that. I need to put the time and the effort into getting the things I want and achieving my dreams. Therefore, I sadly have no time to put the effort into resurrecting this place. As much as I love the AllRPG Community, we don't have the passion for it as a community we used to and I can't spend the extra time doing something that has no bearing on the things I want to do and that isn't putting any money in my pocket to help me do them. The site is dead. I'm letting endgamermag.com lapse when it comes around.

However, I'll not stop hosting the forums. They'll be here as long as everyone wants them to be. And I'll still be around as part of everything. I just can't keep up being the director of what has become a ghost that I can neither exorcise nor resurrect on my own.

I hope you all understand.

Thank you.

I LOVE YOU, MAN!

But this place is not going to become what it used to be. Time to let it go. I'll catch you on Facebook.

Say goodnight, Evil.

*is deeply saddened*

I love this place. I'm not going to go into how much I miss how it used to be.

I felt like that time when Martha broke my heart when I was 16.

Hyde, is ok. We all need to fulfill our dreams and goals. Please don't feel bad. You did a great job here as the site director. Much better than the no manners dude (dun remember his name) who left without any notice to us all. All the best to you.

Kind of a surprise, but I guess it could have been expected. Gotta pursue your dreams. Good luck and all.

No one can possibly be mad at you about wanting to step down. You have more on your plate than most other people here and trying to resurrect this site is a bit too much. I would hope that everyone agrees with me in my support for you in all of your professional and artistic endeavors.

I'm sorry to hear that Hyde, I was really looking forward to what you had in store for the new homepage. That's life for you though. Best of luck in your pursuits!

If someone else steps up to the plate and finishes the site, I will do my best to promote it!

After reading your "resignation," I felt a sense of progression for your life. Go for it, Jason.

Also, I wouldn't worry about keeping the forums running. It's an unnecessary expense on your part (unless you actually value keeping it up.) I'm sure we could find a free host to use if we really wanted to.

I never thought I'd see the day that forums just didnt attract new members (especially younger ones)

Then again, I never really thought about it either.

My previous online community kicked me out on the street and closed its doors for good, and I fear I will be curbside again.

I am going to go on a week long drunk and see which one of us expires first.

Who actually runs this place now?

Is it Serge only? Is Enishi still hanging around the staff forums? Are there staff forums?

Who controls the main site should one suddenly appear? Serge?
