Thank You and Farewell
Posted by Fustrate on January 22, 2010, 04:41:11 PM
Dear SMF Community Members,
I hereby tender my resignation to you, the community, as both Lead Customizer and Customizer. It's been a pleasure to serve you on the Simple Machines team for the last nine months, and a joy to get to know you for nearly two years before that. There are many of you who have shaped me into who I am today, and I am grateful for that. There are people such as erlend_sh who got me started on the reputation system, and kept encouraging me until I finally finished it, my first and favorite modification. There are others such as Dragooon, who I got to know and hope to still keep in touch with in the coming months and years. To team members such as JBlaze, Arantor, Antechinus and Jade Elizabeth, I can never repay the camaraderie you've shown me. To old enemies such as Runic and Owdy, I would like to apologize for not being the friend I could have been. As for everyone else, know that you've all played instrumental parts in my life, and will be fondly remembered.
When I sat down to write this, I was calm and resolute, but thinking of all of the wonderful people I'm leaving behind has actually brought tears to my eyes. I wish you well, and hope that the future finds you in good health. I know I'll be forgotten in time, but I'd like to think that my contributions will still be found long after.
Sincerely,
Fustrate (YodaOfDarkness)
Former Lead Customizer

Sad that that won't change.
Even so, I'll miss seeing you around.
Hope to see you around
Take care out there in real life.
I sincerely hope that life bids you well. And that you continue on with your head held high, proud of your great service that you provided here. *removes hat (if I was wearing one) and holds it over my heart*
Best of luck.
Back then you were yoda something if I recall correct, but it was before you adopted the 'ofdarkness' part.
Well, whatever you do in life, do it well!!
Take care buddy, and enjoy your life
ciao
Cassiel: Thanks, just know that I had fun while I was here, and you should always remember to do that
Runic: Too bad you're in Scotland (or are you in Finland right now?) or I'd give you a hug
live627: Just know that I left of my own accord, and as I told Cassiel, I had fun
Arantor: Some day I'm going to play that game you're developing, so make it good or else
I don't know you that well, but I am very sorry to see you leaving, but if it's better for your life, I am definitely happy for you!
God bless,
Labradoodle-360
[enter_cover_story] Well, back then I was usually logging in after a long day of skating, and a few beers, so no wonder I got that one mixed up.
I'm sure you wont be too far away mate, and if you are, drop by now n then.
Ya never know, one day we may even have a beer together, just don't ever fall asleep around me, I am famous for my texta to face technique! lol
laterz champ
Also its Scotland atm when i eventually win lottery ill move back to finland
But seriously, you've always been very helpful to me and like I said it is much appreciated. I've even learned some things because of your help, so thanks for that, too.
Stay safe and keep coding
Why are we losing so many good people?
I don't know who Cathy is as far as nickname, but I've been told she is the captain of the SS SMF ship.
Frustrate, it is a shame to see you go. I wish you the best on any endeavors you may pursue in the future.
I think I need to make more "We love So and So threads." You guys don't get enough recognition for your hard work imo.
Amacythe is Cathy, and she is being trigger happy and banning those that are against her regime... some of her lapdogs are also being trigger happy in warnings etc ... darn for most of the day I have been on post moderation, wasnt till I found a loophole and got someone brave enough to remove them, I say brave enough as we are all counting till how long it be till we are banned
Wow... I truly am amazed that it has come to that.
I wish you the best of luck.
I only wish that all of the leaving team members had a chance to post a farewell thread before they were locked out.
Thanks
I most likely won't stick around other than popping in every now and then to see how well you're taking care of my reputation mod
Take care, mate!
Good luck dude and thanks again
As a note, I've turned the Advanced Reputation System mod over to Ha².
best of luck with your chosen path.
