Former Staff

gallery_111084_186_8241.jpg


Before many of you panic, lol, I wanted to type a really quick blurb. I've retired from Magazine Staff and have been respectfully moved into the Former Staff category. The reasons for doing so are very simple, I've found something important in life that requires my full attention (--no i'm not sick or anything like that! --knock on wood!! --x10!!!) and I no longer have any free time to dedicate to GBAtemp. The decision to retire from my position was not an easy one. I've had a great run on this site. I worked hard to influence the site's content by making the front page Homebrew friendly. I've brought some interesting new features to the site. I've promoted and demoted. I wrote some mother fucking kick ass reviews! I've been responsible for the public release of more than a share of Homebrew projects..... and more!

Through all of the ups and downs I had some of the best opportunities that could ever happen to a person. I learned a lot about myself, discovered what I was capable of, made some good friends, and even lost a few.

The things I'll always remember are how I got here, who i met on the way up, and what fun it was running the Magazine Staff.

Fear not, I asked to be moved into the Former Staff category for a reason. I want to be involved without being required to be involved. I have a few reviews planned (time permitting, and nothing crazy but some fun hardware none-the-less). I am going to continue to write the Monday Recommends articles (at least until it hits 52 issues). I will also be around on IRC and spending time with the staff, so I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities to influence something or other.

Best of luck to all of my friends here (you know who you are). If you know where to find me then stop by and chat. (Why do I feel like I just graduated from High School again...?)

Everyone says "sad to see you go".

I say good to see you go. Good on ya for having things to fill up your time in real life, because the internet is awesome, yes, but there are often more pressing matters. The temp is a great place, but life outside the net still exists.

So again, good on ya, but still hope to see you float around here from time to time. Cheers, man, and have fun!

AW, good luck on whatever you're doing next in life..

You really did an excellent job as Head of Magazine staff :D
 
You really did a good job as the Head of Mag Staff.
I hope you are not so absent from the site!
Good luck in everything =)
 
:O

:mellow:

:(

:sad:

:cry:

Today is a sad day for the 'Temp

Thank you for all that you've done for us, AW! This place won't be the same without you as the head of mag staff. Promise that you'll still be around to make an occasional post!
 
Man, even when I was just a lurker on the site you were the man, well I guess best wishes or something (even though you aren't actually leaving) :P
 
Best of luck mate. You've been one of the best staff members I've seen on the site ever and you're also departing on a high note.
 
I must admit this saddens me since you are the only staff of GBATemp I've actually talked to. You've been a great help in helping me run WiFi Weekend and I can tell you're a pretty good person. Good luck on your new endeavor and hopefully I'll see you around the forums.

Note:So who do I go to now if I want to run a WiFi Night?
 
Good Luck!! We will miss you, but as you said, you have another projects. My best wishes for you and don't forget us! Come to visit when you have free time
