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

I'm just wondering about something:

Perhaps it's possible to pass the Bots on, Aron?
To someone who has a server (if needed) which can be dedicated to this?


The problem is not hosting, it isn't Aron who hosts them at the moment anyway (I believe DJ has something to do with that), it's that Aron is pretty much the only JAK+ with enough knowledge of TCL.


I know enough TCL to make another JAbot, and I believe another several dozens of people do so too. I don't know as much as Aron does, but I don't believe JAbot represents Aron's TCL skills.

Perhaps there are Students who know TCL, or does JAbot have secret stuff?


Well if I remember well, Aron provided the JA with JAbot even before he was JAStaff (only that JAbot wasn't auto-op then).

I hope someone gets the bots; there is no JA w/o JAbot :( :P

Well Aron, I'm glad to hear about those positive changes. You've helped me since my first day in the Academy, by helping me to sign in first (I'm a computer n00b :D ), then with those awesome duels we had. I didn't got to know you very well, however, for what I heard about you in this topic goes well beyond the (already very positive) opinion I had about you.
Goodbye Aron, we will miss you.

Like I said in my last post, I, for one, will certainly miss you!

You showed me kindness when I didn't expect any (that profile thing between me and Rikard), and to see you had sent me a mail just to explain really warmed my heart:)

The Academy won't be the same without you, my friend!

Have fun in RL, and like Casual said, I think you've got a girl :P
If so, give her my love and best wishes.

Also pass on my best-wishes to your brother, who is going to get married soon, I think if I remember correct?

I didn't get much of an oppurtunity to talk to you much or to get to know you. However, from what I've seen you have given an awful lot to the academy :D and may you get the reward you deserve. Lead a prosperous RL ;)

w00t !!! That's a really good new for you. If your RL is going really well right now, enjoy it and take care of it as a precious gift. :)

On the other hand, we all know the big amount of time and work you invested in the academy. Thank you for all this investment and I hope to see you back someday.
