User:343TheGuiltyProphet/Resignation

Friends, colleagues, close acquaintances,

First of all, I cannot possibly start without saying thank you. For the patience, the time, the friendships, and the experience. I'm certainly a completely different person now than I was when I joined.

My journey on Fandom/Wikia started in 2012 on Halo Nation (now Halo Alpha). I started my journey with frequent blocks, bans, and arguments, and thanks to the amazing fanbase that resides within the very fabric of Fandom, I was shown understanding and mercy. I was able to amend myself and my attitudes to become someone who loved to contribute to various Wiki's.

My passion for Fandom has never disappeared but as I grow older and my career within the bank continues to progress, I find myself with little time. It's been such a great privilege spending all these years on Fandom and since 2016 as a Global Discussions Moderator. When I first started, discussions was a small feature that was only on selected Wiki's - my, my - how that's changed!

Anyway, it's been an absolute honor and privilege and it's the right thing for me to now stand down and allow someone who is able to commit the time that the projects deserve to take the wheel.

This isn't goodbye, I'll still be around from time to time, editing, and who knows - someday I could find the time to make the commitment that is needed but for now, it's time to hang up the keyboard and mouse.

I have some users who I'd like to say a special thanks to:

· Callofduty4 - We've had our ups and downs but overall, you've helped me so much. You're a big part of the reason that I was able to reflect and change my behavior. It's a debt I've never really known how to repay but my friend - I hope you'll accept a thank you in the knowledge that it's so much more than that.

· Ozank - No longer a user here, but should you happen to see this someday, you were also a big part of my journey. Thanks so much.

· BertH - Old staff user, now friend - thanks for everything you've done for me.

· Sannse - One of the best assets of Fandom staff, so helpful and we share a heritage - thank you.

· Jr Mime - Being friends from the Wikianswer days, it's been a laugh hasn't it?

Not mentioned? It doesn't mean you're not important to me - I just didn't want to make a massive page of tributes but please know I appriciate you all.

For now my friends - Goodbye.
