Spoiler: Play this at the same time for maximum effect because I'm a soppy bugger [video=youtube;HLhImHlnVEI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLhImHlnVEI[/video] I am sorry to say, that as a result of several reasons, it is in my misfortune that I have decided to resign from the role of being a staff member on the Everypony Network. This however does not mean I am leaving the site completely, I just cannot stand to be tethered any longer to being involved in the decision making of the site. It's often frustrating to say the least, and whilst there are those who I would say are an absolute pleasure to work with the entire way through, I'm not inclined to say I enjoyed the most recent experiences on the whole. This is far from me giving up, I've been holding on since near on enough the start of June and hope kept me going, kept me fighting, kept the urge to continue to help those, and only until it seemed helpless I would leave the staff. But of course the hope did eventually wane, and the silly frustration and stress that has arose because of these past couple of months or so have been not worth it. I suppose you could say this is a blended result of my disapproval of several staff attitudes, my general lack of confidence in which paths the site is going down, and irreconcilable differences to put it short and sweet. While I may not bear the title of "Community Officer" any longer, this does not mean I have changed as a person. If you ever need help, or just want to talk, you know the drill with me, feel free to contact me, whether via PM, profile messaging, e-mail, Skype, whatever contact system you may choose. I wish the rest of the staff the best of luck, and hope they know that if ever they need a moderator should things improve in the future, they know the pony that they can call.
aww I am so sorry to hear. It sure is nice of you to still be willing to help others. I wish you the best and hope your hope returns. If it helps I lost mine too but mine sure came back.
Why did you post that song? First farewell that made me tear up a little IRL. At least you're staying, I don't want you to leave ;_; EDIT: The staff situation really has been affecting everyone...hasn't it :/
Awesome Poetic is Awesome Poetic, regardless of title or position. Why'd you have to post that song though, now I have the feels....
I'm a big softie and it felt relevant to the point and reason. I "left it all behind", and "I'll be fine".
Wow, just wow. Okay, 2 things: When I saw the thread title, the first thing I thought of was that song. I have a very deep connection with that song and Rainbow Dash and it played a huge part when I first became a brony. It's also part of the reason she still remains my favorite pony. And yes, I had first heard it on the Anthology. I listen to that song almost every day to remind me of those good times. Also, this was probably the best farewell thread I've seen. I'm glad you're not leaving for good though, even though the ones who say they will always come back. I guess I'll see you around.*hugs*
I'm glad that your sticking around Poetic, you will always be loved here, regardless of title or position.
This. Always this. I know I'm not really the best of people to work with. I know I'm a real hothead sometimes (Try 90% of the time.) and I'm sorry that you had to deal with me like that. You've always been a good friend. You've always cared about the site and put it first. For that, I have the utmost respect for you, even if I was a bit of a jerk. To put it lightly. For what it's worth, I believe that your drive and effort to make the site better easily made you the best mod on the team. We're all sad to see you go. I'm glad you're staying. Hopefully, all of this will blow over. It's not likely. But the least we could do is all try. Thanks for staying. You have my utmost respect. Change is coming already, Miggmeister.
I would say farewell, but you're not leaving. I guess the most appropriate words would be thank you for the great work you did as staff and it's nice to see that you're sticking around.
Well, does this mean I can impersonate you in the chat now? Just kidding! I know I never got in trouble (except that one time ), so I haven't seen much of your "staff"-y side, and as such I don't feel that all that much has changed. I'm just glad you're not leaving! ^^
sad to see you leave the staff, but I'm still glad that you're staying on site. I know i've been kinda busy lately, and doing "other" staff work (as in organizing stuff, making contacts etc.) but I'll try to give my part of making this site best pony place in all of the internet.
Sorry to see you bowing down as staff Poetic. I enjoyed working with you, and I respected your drive to improve the site. The points you brought to staff discussions certainly made me think, and I felt you gave really good alternatives to different issues. It's going to feel strange without you there. I'm glad you're sticking around on the site regardless, and I hope to see you around.
Hmm, let me tally off the things you owe me before you leave. A pole, a very long pole, the room in the EP house... Lotsa cheese. Yeah Sucks that you're leaving us, but then again you're not XD
Eeyup. If staff is leaving because of staff, then that should be a wake up call. Nice to know that you're still going to hang around though!
