Bowing Out

I knew this day would come. Though I'm not sad, just moved.

I wanted to take this thread and thank you dearly for what you've done over the years. The extractions, the chinchillas, everything. It goes without saying how much people appreciate your work.

But I'd also like to thank you, and words aren't enough, for what you've done with this site.

I've made real friends over this forum. I've met people in real life through here. This forum has a stupidly good community, and it was all based around you, you were a cornerstone. You set the example and people followed. Yes, by now you may be saying to yourself that I'm spouting nonsense and that all of that was work of the community itself, but you had a lot to do with it. You stood there by the forum when the DMCAs hit, when we were putting out so much pomegranate to the forum that it was a gigantic trollfest (remember Flugzeug? Hah) and still you hang in there, trying to tie the loose ends and working to make this place better. Maybe you don't realize what you've accomplished and maybe you do and it's why you're able to walk away with you head up high knowing you leave your baby in good hands and that your work is done.

You're not given enough credit as the founder, former admin and extractor of this site.

All in all, thanks a lot Paul, for creating this space, for me it was a blessing and an honour.

Best of luck in your future endeavours and keep on chinchilling out there! I hope I stumble upon you on reddit some day.

PS: this is actually the third time you've ran away, quitter. :3
