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.

Quote:

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

You're a cool, cool person, and you've done lots of great things for the JA that probably never would have been done without you. :alliance:

We're gonna miss ya, man. :( Take care, and may the Force be with you! :alliance:

I think Aron's got a girl. But it's none of our business :)

Aron, you are seriously the coolest guy I know in the Academy, and I haven't been brainwashed or anything, I really think so :) You've made my days in IRC a whole lot better, not only by introducing me to Deckard, but by your good company.

Take care out there, and drop me/us a line as often as possible!

Well...... What can I say? I'm no good with speeches, so I'll try to keep it short and to the point.

Thank you Aron :) For all the things you've helped me with. For all the things you've done for the JA. And finally, for being with us.

I'm gonna miss you... I'll be awaiting your return, if that happens. Let's hope you come back, like last time :)

Best wishes,

Aron, on one hand can I really count the number of people who have been as devoted to this Academy as you have been. You can be sure that you will leave this place better than you've found it.

I really appreciate all the help you've given to me personally with advice, teaching, and always taking the time to explain things to me. I will miss you dearly, and hope that someday you will return to us. Until then, good luck with RL(TM) and don't be a stranger.

Yowza. Now thats one hell of a sucker punch.

For those that don't know Aron was also helping me out maintaining the site and handling small chores for the JACs in addition to his IRC stuff. He's been an invaluable asset to us and the community.

Aron, we'll of course keep the light on for you if you ever decide to return. I'm glad that RL has picked up for you. Enjoy it. :D

Well Aron its been an honour and a pleasure serving under you here at the JA, youve been a great role model and friend for which i will be enternally grateful. Your one hell of a guy, one id call probably the Concious of the JA, Through all the rough times, and some of the pressure placed on you you always did what you felt was best And that is perhaps one of your most admiral qualities, Never let that go!

I ish you all the best in life, and i hope your new inner energy allows you to go from strength to strength!

Take Care Aron good friend
