Leaving. For real.... or not...

Hi guys and gal's :)

This comes as much as a suprise for you as it does for me.

... well, it will probably suprise you more.
I apologize for everything I am about to write, and the fact that my retirement comes so sudden.

I've been going through some really positive Real Life(TM) changes lately, both physically as mentally.
I feel "different" in a way.

I don't think I can give this much time to the Academy, nor the whole "internet thing" anymore.
I want to focuss on things that are more important to me.

Thanks for the awesome times I had. I've gotten to know some awesome people, which I am really grateful for. Thank you, you all know who you are.

I won't make this too long. I will shut down all the IRC bots soon too. Sorry :(

Edit: JAbot will keep running for as long as possible. It is pretty self sufficient, I guess.

Anyway, don't think too much of all this. The Academy will easily manage without me, as long as everyone just really wants to make it happen. This place is not just a regular internet community, and I'm glad I have been here to whitness it from the beginning.

Take care everyone.

Aron

Well...I was hoping.
It's going to be strange around here from now on...I'll miss hanging around on the servers hoping you'll show up :)
I really did enjoy our training sessions. They were awesome and I learned so much.

*sigh* I'm stuck for words for once lol.

I want to thank you Aron...for everything :) For letting me bully you in to being my master hehe. Good luck with real life. I'm glad it's getting better. It's the only excuse I would have accepted, ya know!

Take care mate, and STAY IN TOUCH! :D

Basically, all the bots (JAbot, Statz0r) are pieces of instable-coded junk.

Sure, they seem to work on the outside, but they both give dozens of problems.

I thought of improving the code and then leaving it running, but I changed my mind really. I really reaaally don't feel like working on them anymore.

Do with the bots and the code what you (DJ) wish. Feel free to throw it away, or give it to anyone who you think can put it to some use.

JAbot is still running for now, but I won't look after it anymore. The statbots require too much maintainence, and besides, the code was way in development, and unstable as hell.

I thought comicbot went down months ago :\

Ugh... if JAbot's not going down (I see aron edited the post), why would Statz0r be going down? It's as "self sufficient" as JAbot
