akita-ken 581 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 To anyone whom it may concern, It is without regret that I announce my leaving of the MLPF staff. My reasons for leaving are very much like that of my predecessor, in that college has started and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to commit time to performing moderation of Octavia's Hall. In other words, school and finances (i.e. 'real-life') have caught up with me and it is no longer feasible for me to continue on the staff. There is no cause for concern however, with the transition of all mods to global status a few months ago, we have more than enough staff to handle the workload. To the friends that I've made during my stay here, I'll still be around and drop by when I have the time. Feel free to contact me whether you have a question, request or just want to talk about stuff! It's crunchtime 25 Signature to come soon. I think. Yeah. Once I think up a nice one. Or when someone makes one for me. Damn it. I need more time to draw and animate poni. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planty 1,053 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 You've done a great job as a mod Sad you'll be stepping down, as a fellow Uni member I totally understand you! Last year I basically only went on the forum for an hour a week and I've only really been able to do much for the last few weeks because I've been on holiday! Hope you have a great time at college! just don't forget about us 1 Have ANY questions about Christianity? INBOX ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 It's been fun having you on board, Akita. We understand that you have been busy lately in school and with money, but you will still be around and try to have some free time when you have the time. It's been a long journey, and you will be missed. 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic Revelations 8,835 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 I will miss you, Akita. You were always a great moderator, and it's a shame to see you go, but I understand the reasoning behind your leaving. You weren't just a great mod, you were a great user. Good luck with your studies, and whatever else may come afterwards. Good luck, I'll definitely miss you. On another note... Even with your reassurance, I'm getting kind of concerned with the arising pattern of large-scale resignation in the staff, though, It's more than a bit alarming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 I'll miss you Akita You've done an awesome job here. As a regular member on MLPF, I'll never forget you. So long my friend, I hope you'll come back. 1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,879 August 29, 2013 Share August 29, 2013 College and real life pressing down on you was something that was fairly obvious, for a long time now Like with all other staff who have left due to the Life Bus and its' habit of running over people, I hope you make it out okay and do great. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 August 30, 2013 Share August 30, 2013 Wow, i remember when you first became a mod, heck i remember still talking to you before hand a bit. I didn't get to talk to you alot though, with timezone differences and stuff i guess. But its sad to see you step down, however i totally understand, things can get quite busy to the point you really don't have the time to dedicate anymore. I hope that you will still stick around here regardless! You have done a great job! Your contributions shall be remembered for sure. 1 Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

Batbrony 16,053 August 30, 2013 Share August 30, 2013 Fare thee well akita-ken, and thank you for all of the time, energy, and hard work you devoted to these forums as moderator. Octavia's Hall has never been better, and I'm sure that's very much thanks to your efforts and moderating in the last few months. God's blessings with college, and hope to still see you around on the forums! 2 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen.

Nohbdy 4,108 August 30, 2013 Share August 30, 2013 Sad to see you go, akita-ken. You've been a very helpful and diligent member of the staff, and one that I've come to admire. The site is a better place because of you, but alas, it's ultimately reality that takes precedence over our virtual community. Your successor(s) will have large shoes to fill. Good luck in whatever you do, wherever you go. May your future endeavors be met with great success. Thank you for your service, comrade. It was a pleasure working with you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flow 1,625 August 30, 2013 Share August 30, 2013 (edited) Well then Akita, even though I don't see you around that often, I still see the work that you've done around the forums. With that, you've done a great service to the site. Thank you. God speed on your studies!

Marcato 2,143 August 30, 2013 Share August 30, 2013 BUCK Does this mean the staff chart creation/editing falls on me now? D: Either way, your departure isn't something that goes without sorrow. It's always sad to see a staff member step down, especially one like yourself. The few times we spoke we had some good conversations, and you're real fun to be around once you get talking. I'm sure you'll see things look good in the long run, you've got the attitude and drive for it. Hope to see you around Akita! 1 ~Relax and enJOY life.

MyLittleBrony 47 August 31, 2013 Share August 31, 2013 I'm new here but congratulations on your service to the forum and for investing your time. So many people get stuck on "what's in it for me?" and never do anything that doesn't bring them money. In an interview one time, I was asked "Why would you do that?" about some volunteer work. The guy was genuinely confused. He offered me the job, but I didn't take it. Best of luck with your studies & future work. 1 Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem, and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence - and how high he or she is likely to rise.

Sunny Fox 5,950 September 16, 2013 Share September 16, 2013 (edited) Akita-ken, since the time we were promoted to staff, you have always been proactive, willing to stand up for what you believe and to say what you feel unapologetically. You were a credit to the staff team, and I feel lucky to have been a part of it with you. Best of luck for your future endeavours, and come back to visit as often as you can.

GhostPony750 959 September 22, 2013 Share September 22, 2013 Another staff leaving? o_O Wow... well, good luck at college. I know it eats most of your time, I was a staff member at Bronyland before, and I had to leave because of the Great Homework Flood (A terrible natural disaster). But well, I hope you visit us sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
