View Full Version : Stepping down as VP



Red

I'm stepping down as VP. Reasons are pretty simple, I'm not around much at all anymore. I don't play CS anymore, I haven't even started it up in months now. I don't feel right staying on as VP even though I was never really formally asked to perform any specific duties as VP, more of just an advisor to Haggard and the other higher ups.

I feel it's time for someone more hands-on to step into this role, should it still exist. Zero001 was a great example for those of you that remember, he was super technical and knew the ins and outs of all our back-ends...that did not come out how I meant it to. I never really got my hands as dirty as he did as VP, I was better at that stuff when I was a BD/AO. It's been interesting and an honor to be trusted as a higher up for over 3 years now, time flies.

I'm busier with other stuff Thurs-Sunday so not much time to game. When I am on to game I don't like to be bothered with anything else, so I can just enjoy the gaming.

Nobody forced me to step down or even made any mention of the sort, it's just the right thing to do.

I'll still be online and on Vent from time to time.

Thanks to all of you that made this place fun and interesting. That even goes to those I argued with, Italian Jew etc.

Growing up sucks.

Red, I can remember all the way back when I first started playing on the "ZM" servers back in the day and you were always very kind, helpful, I'm so glad I got the chance to be here when you were. Much respect to you.

Maybe when the next CS comes out you will come back.

It's sad to see everyone who's been around for so long leave. I hope you decide to stick around on the forums even if your life is busier and more demanding.

You've been here a hell of a long time Red and it's unfortunate that you just don't have the time anymore.

Good luck in all your future endeavors, whatever they may be. :)

This gave me dejavu of when you stepped down two years ago with Cloud and Litkey =[...sad times.

Good luck in life, and hopefully you come back someday and return to a higher-up position.

People have come and gone from SG for a long time now. Blank, Atarian, Zero001, LitKey, Raven (though he still comes by sometimes), and countless others. This isn't a recent thing, trust me.

Real life tends to get in the way of e-life. However, I hear retirement frees up a bunch of time. Maybe they'll all come back in 40 years or so?
