sHARD>> Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've been working on this site in some form or another since July 4th, 2005. That's a long time, and it's been an interesting ride. From a small time IRC channel to a big time forum, the site has come a long way in these two years. But unfortunately my time here is over. You may not realize it, but there's a lot of drama when working with such a large operation. A lot of people to work with, and each one has their own communication barrier, whether it be time zones, languages, or something else. The fact is we all don't speak English and live on the east coast of the United States. It takes time dealing with each person's individual needs and helping them out, let alone dealing with people who don't have the best of intentions. Unfortunately, I no longer have that time. Dealing with the drama and working on the site are two tasks which I can't really handle right now. I know, I know, I usually write some long fancy posts where I make some fantastic point that everyone can debate and make fun of me for. That's cool, but for once, I think I've said it all. I just don't have the time to deal with everything that has to be done for such a large operation. Effective immediately, I am no longer a member of the InsanelyMac staff. Good bye everyone, and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swad Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Goodbye shard. This site has become what it is today thanks to your help. You're a good friend and we're sad to see you go. Thanks for the memories (and don't be a stranger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mebster Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) Ok I want to know... who pissed him off sHARD>> take a break and come back later - hopefully by summer. I know I don't even know you but it's sad seeing one of the main members of this site leaving. We've all become like family (I might sound sad here but what the heck) over the past two years and I gotta say it really is sad seeing anyone, especially someone who's put so much in the site go. If time is the issue then go and do what you need to. But then come back!!! Maybe not as a administrator or moderator and join the rest of us, sit back and watch the chaos unfold. I have to say when I hear core members leaving (or anyone who's been a major active member for a while) it just doesn't feel like the same OSX86 (yeah I still prefer that) that we all joined up to. And that's a really sad thing. We've all come so far and it's sad to know that we're hopefully going to continue moving ahead, but not as the pack we started off as. Come back before Leopard. Not because we need you (we probably do) but because that's the next stage and it would be brilliant to have the pack taking that step together. But for the time being I just want to say thanks for everything. Members such as myself are truly grateful for all the effort you've (and the rest of you guys and girls) put in and if we nagged you for whatever... then sorry. Hopefully have a pleasant break.

Metrogirl Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 sHARD>> - we will miss you. As Aceplayer says, we are like a family and it's always sad to see a trusted and respected member of the family leaving home for pastures new. OK, too many metaphors in one sentence so I'll stop right now. Please come back and visit us and bring us stories of whatever is going on in your life. Remember that there's always a place for you in our hearts here at InsanelyMac. Good luck! -Sarah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbic Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) You'll be missed, sHARD>>. Disk machine want disk. EDIT: I was wondering... about a week ago you were in the "Retired" members group. What happened to that? I think it'd look more... distinguished... if you were "Retired" instead of just a "Member".
