Damn I always thought I would leave before you.... wait what? Exactly!
Yo Zoq you know I love you in a toast and jam sort of way so you probably know what I am going to say, or maybe not as I don't really know myself until I start typing. It will be a real shame to see you go mate though I am ecstatic to hear that you will continue doing what you do best and will not be completely giving up, so that's a silver lining for sure. :) Unfortunately I know and have seen the things you mention and it's absolute pain for me, you cannot forget this place is my baby ...duckling and seeing recent events has made me feel a bit sour to be honest and is taking my motivation away too. I have a set plan for the future and that is in motion but having to jump back here all the time is not only taking time but making me put-off going back even to the point of me thinking what's the point?!
However I then realise these things do and have happened in our past, if anything it's quite amazing we're still around but that's where a select group of loyal and truly generous members come into play and why the :duck: is still swimming. You have to remember we are over seven years old, in fact we're eight in February next year and so making changes can be hard as things have been 'running along' for a length of time. Not to mention I am an IDIOT, geez man I am one of the stupidest people around, the fact I haven't blew this place up completely astounds me but hey I like to get my hands dirty, and like yourself when you are enjoying what you're doing, it's so much easier to just dive in and deal with it. Will I get the drive back? More than likely yes, I hate being serious. Will you? Honestly I think yes too but not before things change here and the staff know a couple of the things I have for the future and it will certainly irk some, I have no hesitation on that but it will be for the better and those who don't like it were probably here for a reason unrelated to this place anyway.
Sometimes we need time away from what we do often so it doesn't become a burden and you start to resent it. So I hope to see you back some time in the future Zoq but if not, thank-you for everything you have done, have a good life and I wish you all the very best sir. :nuts:
