My Official Resignation Message
As you may have heard from my good mate NEVR, I recently decided that I could no longer create the barracks update. I am now at a point where I no longer have the time to enjoy creating updates for all of you great people in the barracks. For the last 10 weeks of so creating the update has just seemed to be too much like a chore instead of a privilege. I no longer feel that joy when you finish an update and get to see all the great comments people respond with to it.
Ever since I first started creating updates I felt that it really helped the barracks and kept it alive. I would make an update and a day later there would be 2 new pages to read through all commenting on it. It was truly great to see, especially when the barracks started to become fairly inactive.
Nowadays thought it just doesn't feel right. With the limited amount of computer time I have now and the new hobbies I have found on the computer it is hard to enjoy doing both when I have sufficient time to do both (if that makes sense).
I also feel that I don't have the same feeling towards b/ping anymore. With the portal become more and more pathetic and inactive (when I am online anyway) I don't feel that same statwhoreishness that I used to. I still b/p (and will continue to) but it just doesn't feel right for someone who is only managing 8 points a day to be doing the update.
Over the last year of creating the updates for the EGB I have created over 35 updates, added several new features, created the first semi-automated list creator and pimped out the updates look to what you know it as now. I am really happy at what I have achieved in the last year and I am really glad I did take up the challenge of records keeper taking over from Major-punk who sadly cannot isn't with us anymore (RIP). He truly was a great person and was an inspiration to me when I joined the barracks and he was the records keeper.
But enough about me, if it wasn't for all you great people of the EGB I would have never started this journey. It is because of all of you that I wanted to create the update in the first place so THANKYOU!
I will stick around the EGB, I probably won't post much because of time restraints but I will pop in occasionally to say high!
I hereby resign from my role as the Records officer of the EGB and declare NEVR to take over for me from this day forward.
