User blog:Chicken Bond/Changes Aplenty: A Retirement

I think this is the right time to announce this. I promise to make this brief (I have an Extension History proposal to be writing as we speak).

If my presence here has been lacking, then it has been because I have been heavily involved in a very rigorous and intensive academic year, which is is extremely important to me and filled with equally important exams and assignments. While I have no intentions of going anywhere, the continued pressure to focus on my studies is choking my ability to dedicate myself to the wiki and the people here. As much as I would like it to be otherwise, I feel that this wiki needs B'crats who are active and willing to contribute on a regular basis, which is criteria I finding increasingly harder to check off. I feel that, for the time being, I am not fit to endeavour further with my staffing duties without putting them all on the shoulders of my fellow B'crat, Shadowmaster.

As such, I have decided to step down as a B'crat for the time being. I hope to return to my position once all my exams over the course of this year are over (provided the staff will have me), once I am truly free to dedicate myself. So, I hope this will be a temporary retirement, which will allow me to reapply myself to my work. I would be of no service to the wiki if I am hardly here at all.

Thus, I have appointed administrator as my successor as a wiki B'crat ("Always two there must be. No more, no less."). Fresh off his success in creating our new forum site, I can safely say, with absolute conviction, that between himself and Shadowmaster, they will have the wiki's best interests at heart, which they will safeguard soundly. I wish them both the very best of luck.

As for me myself, I will still be here, you need not worry of that, but perhaps not on such a regular basis. Nonetheless, I will still have saome involvement with the staff; I will still be a member of our Board of Trustees and I have also chosen to relegate myself to Rollback status rather than flat-out retire. So I am still here and very far from dead. Whether the staff will take me back as a B'crat once my exams are over is a decision I leave in their hands.

But until that time, please make Jman feel welcome as he takes on his new responsibilities.

Kind wishes and regards,
