I'm Retiring as Thor
« on: October 23, 2015, 05:29:46 PM »
Hey everyone. I'm making this post to let y'all know that I'm handing off ownership of the forum to Hushpiper, and will no longer be acting as an admin on the forum.  I'll still be around, especially on the chat and on skype, but I'm not going to be actively affecting the forum after this.  The other admins were alright with me keeping my title (I quite like that title =w=), but we went ahead and made it honorary now.  Hence the shiny new Retiree Stars I have over there above my avatar.   Edit:  Sunny and Viola are going to be the new admins responsible for the human side of things, while Hushy takes over the technical side of things.  So, also give a hand to your new admin pals!  They're already doing an excellent job, and I couldn't have found anyone better.
Anyway, this place has brought me a lot of good in the last year.  Making it is easily one of the best decisions I ever made.  I've met a lot of really amazing people and made some very good friends.  Thanks for letting me Thor around here for so long.  I'll see y'all around~

Thank you Eich for creating this snug little community.
You let us all the freedom in here to create a nice little spot on the internet, where political matters can be discussed without people tearing of the flesh of each other and many minions taking care of one another.
I am happy about still having you around on chat. Fenris told that Thor is one of the less powefull god, but is known as the god of the ordinary people ;). That title befits you well then.

Thank you so much for what you've done for us, Eich. This community is wonderful, and I'm sure we all don't even know the half of what you've done to keep it that way. I'm glad this isn't a total goodbye (yeesh, I spend too much time on chat already :P) but I think you've more than earned a rest. So sit back, relax. Know that the forum is in good hands. And once again because I can't possibly say it enough, thank you!

Third what has been said: Thankyou for all your hard work and creating such a wonderful place where so many people found a (second) home. I hope hugging the retired forum-Thor is allowed, otherwise, I'm just being a rebel, HA.
*hugshugshugs* =w= You'll always be Prancing Thor to me, the most best god of all. Enjoy your retirement, and I'll be sure to keep ambushing you whenever you pop up in the chat/skype, old retired person or not.  :P

Like Kex said, I am also so glad you will not be leaving us for good, and that you will be on chat. It is both an honour and a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with you on the forum and I will miss you. I am so thankful to you for creating the forum, and helping to shape this beautiful little online community. You will be remembered forever in forum history. The forum is in good hands, we will keep a good watch over it. I salute you mighty and dear forum Thor.

Well, it's not like I didn't know this was coming, but it's still a shame- glad you're still staying in the community and thanks for all the hard work! We'll put up a suitable monument to Thor somewhere.

There's nothing new I can add here but I just wanted to drop a small thank you for creating this forum, one of the best things in my life was to stumble upon it when I did. :)

Wait, what ? O_o *Reads twice* Oh. Okay *Was worrying*
I will repeat what had been said before, but thank Eich. Thank a lot <3 I know we don't really know each other but coming to the forum had been one of the best decision I made this year, I won't say how much it had helped to change my life a little more, I love the community and see several persons not only as "someone nice on the forum" but as "real friend". And it wouldn't had been possible without your creation and the time you spent on/for the forum :) It wasn't waisted time, you're a part of this wonderful adventure. Thank again.

Thank you so much for everything you've done for the forum Eich! You were a great leader, and though creating and maintaining the forum you've managed to touch the lives of many people from all around the world in a wonderful and positive way. I'm glad you'll still be about enjoying your retirement :P

Thanks also to the admins who are taking over the running of the forum :) I know that you guys will be working hard keeping everything sunshine and rainbows, and have actually been doing so for some time now and it's 100% definitely appreciated. You guys are awesome and it's nice to have little moments like this every now and again to remind me to thank you for what you're doing ^_^

I said it already, it's already been said several times already, but it's worth saying again: thank you so much for creating the forum all that time ago, and for investing so much of your time into it. I was slightly hesitant joining at first back then, but it's become a remarkable place, and led to so many good things. I hope it will continue being that way for many years to come~ And that you'll still be around to see it grow ;)

Awww, we'll miss your Thor powers, Eich! I'm glad you're still sticking around though <3 And hopefully this means we'll see more of Hushy also!
