Wow. How did I miss this blog all day? :P

To put it simply, it's hard for someone of your status to leave the wiki. It's almost unbelievable. You are pretty much the life of this wiki. Without you or your stories, I'm not sure we'd have as many users as we do today. You were certainly one of the many inspirations when I joined. I remember that as soon as I joined, you always kept me on the wiki with positive encouragement.

I obviously won't try to discourage you leaving. Everyone has to move on eventually. Just know that you will certainly be missed and your impact on the wiki is priceless.
