User blog:Bfoxius/Farewell

Judging from the title of this, you can probably guess what's going on. I regret doing this, especially in a time of change on this site, with people leaving and joining galore, but I know I must.

Ever since I retired from PMIII around the beginning of this month, the time I have in life to contribute to this site has been growing slimmer and slimmer to the point where as of today, I can barely get this up. Real life too has made it extremely difficult to contribute and the time I set aside for this wiki has evaporated much sooner than I anticipated. Soon, I will be without internet access for an extended period of time.

To put it bluntly, I have to leave this site, if it be for one year, four years, indefinitely, or anywhere in between. Over the last few weeks, I have entertained the idea of leaving on chat, yet only as a worst-case scenario or a last resort, with me thinking I never would have to do so. I guess the joke's on me now.

When I rejoined this wiki in March of last year, I had no idea what would await me on here. I contributed to several great TLs, played many map games, even (attempted) an entry in the Map Contest. I have met many great contributors, whom I shall acknowledge below, and even taken a position in the TSPTF, the protectors of the wiki from vandals and trolls.

My first wish is that people adopt my work, carry on what I have started. I expected my current wiki career to only be the start of my future wiki career. Thus, as I leave the wiki, I leave my projects abandoned midstream, especially the community timeline Days After Chaos, which I will try to take notes in real life on, if I do return. I would like to give the Executive Republic of Portland in Days After Chaos to Daxus Inferno, and the State of New York to Yankovic. If you would like to adopt my other works, feel free to say below.

My final wish is that this wiki remains the wiki, in all of its map game obsessed, abandoned idea-ridden, 83DD-worshipping glory. Mark Twain once said, mocking the ancient idea of historic repetition, that "History does not repeat itself, yet it does rhyme". If his words have any truth to them, let this wiki be a poem, a poem for all to read.

PS: Thanks for reading my overly melodramatic and long farewell. I hope I shall return someday.
