Today will be my last day as Chief Editor at GBAtemp.net :(

Today will be my last day as Chief Editor at GBAtemp.net :(

I've been a member of the forum since day 1, and part of GBAtemp from before it even became a website.
I started out as a mod/release poster and worked my way up to admin, then became Chief Editor.

As Chief Editor I dealt with over 150,000 press inquiries, aquired over 1000 game review codes, and built a team of amazing mag staff who I hope will continue to publish great content for the site.

I am sad to step down, but I'll be 40 years old next year and perspective and priorities change with age. I'm doing really well in my career IRL, and my children are at the ages where they need me more than ever.


For these reasons I've made the choice to move to Former Staff.


I wish everyone here all the best, and I hope to watch the site continue to grow. When we started this forum I had no idea it would become so popular, and still be going strong nearly 20 years later!


Thanks for everything and keep on rocking..

Peace out G-town!





P.S Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't do or be something. Always challenge if you believe you are right, but most importantly, follow your dreams - if you put the work in, you'll go far!

Thug4Life! Family is what's important as we all will grow old and fade at some point so we need the new blood to take over! You've done great work @ GBATEMP!

So long gay bowser. Seriously though, it's sad to see you go. I feel kinda bad because I wasn't on here for long enough to really "know" anyone that well, but... but... I dunno, it just feels sad. Well, good luck in your new life, free of 3DS bans, mindless shitposts, and even the good stuff. I don't have any advice on moving on from those things, but I'm sure you'll find your way around.

Never talked that much my man. But this message in itself sums it up, your life outside of gbatemp needs you.

Kudos for all you have done, for everyone here, for being who you are.
Best of wishes in all the things you are going to pursue :) and of course with the family ...

BUT please do check in every now and again, guidance in some way or form from a 'veteran' is never a bad thing!

Oh man, you will be missed for sure. You made the Mag Staff into a real content machine, I can't imagine the Reviews section flourishing the way it did if you weren't there to oversee it. I hope you'll tune in every now and then to see how we're all doing, we'll do our best to keep the machine well-oiled and turning. Cheers for everything you've done over the years, bud!

Been here since 2002, when KiVan was still around as Admin and saw all of you raising this website (which previously was a website and not a forum) from a small source for games to the juggernaut that is today in all gaming media.

Thug4L1f3, T-Hug and whatever your next nickname is, i can only wish you the best of the best and thanks for everything you did for this small website.
