    Resignation from President

    Yes, you read the title correctly. I will be stepping down from the PO position, effective immediately. Don't worry it wasn't really a forced choice, but a one I felt like I needed to do. My life right now is busier and more important than SG I'm afraid to say. And with everything that's going on, I just don't feel as if I'm giving anything more to this place other than keeping the money flowing in and out, and making sure we have servers to play on. I had made this move clear to the AOs and BDs a while ago, however I wanted to ensure that we were stable and secure before I took off the reigns. I wouldn't feel right with myself if I abandoned a sinking ship. I am glad to see however that the ship has been mended and is starting to cruise again.

    So what's going to happen now?

    Firstlly, the new president of SG will be Caution. He's effectively the next in line, and I really feel he is ready to take on the position. He has eagerly anticipated it and I'm sure it will keep him motivated to further the community. As for myself, my motivation is at an all time low, even with the increasing population to our csgo servers. I just feel I have moved on from the life of SG, but I will not be gone completely.

    Which leads me on to my second point. I will become a TA now since I still have knowlegde, expertise, and experience working with virtually everything, and I am after all still online a fair bit and can give advice. Understandably there will be some issues here or there that I can assist in easily.

    Finally, for all those are subscribed to me (SGs paypal email being mine) you will probably have to resubscribe to a new email, a one that will be sorted out by Caution and the other BDs I assume.


    Anyway I will be around less on the forums, and probably on TS and the servers too. Realistically I already am pretty inactive and dismissive of SG affairs, which is partly why I feel like I need to step down and let someone else have a go. But for now its been a good run. Thank you to all who helped me get to where I was, to those who helped me solve problems, set up servers and improve them and make SG just as fun as it once was. But after 7 years of playing at SG, 6 1/2 of that registered to forum and administrating/running the servers, I think my time is overdue.

    A big thank you to all the past and present higher ups who worked alongside me, to those who I have become good friends with, some closer than others. You've kept the place running just as much as I have and I often feel some of us go unthanked for a long time for the work you do. But I know of it, and I'm relieved knowing I have some great people here making SG run as smooth as possible.

    Also thank you to the CAs and SAs who have shown themselves to be star members in our community. Giving your free time to play a video game, but to do so in the name of SG, is something I can honestly say you are nuts to do. Vidja gaymes are for fun sillies. But seriously you're great people. Keep up the great work.

    Thank you to all the members, regs, supporters, subs and those who just simply want to play and participate at SG. Without you none of us would be around anymore to keep this place moving. I know SG has been through some great times and some rough times, but we always seem to come out on top ready and raring to get going. If there's one thing about SG that is different in my experience to others, is that our community is as solid as a rock. I do believe that even if we didn't have servers on csgo or gmod, we would still have regulars to the forums. This is truly the mark of a great community, as it means it has drawn in members who like to talk in the chatbox or go on ts and play games together. It is where friendships are made, and in some cases even relationships.

    And with that, lastly, thank you to all the grills that kept me sexually motivated online. My testosterone levels were off the charts. You know who you are, some more serious than others but in the end I love you all.

    Thank you SG. Here's to you all
