This took me f'er surprise, but somehow I knew 'twas coming.
Wow, five whole years. 'Tis always good to see someone so dedicated to their work, and ye truly 'ave been there f'er the community. I didn't know what an amazing community this was until just a couple years ago, but I'm so glad I came on this forum f'er a simple map-making issue. I don't think this community could of had any better a person to watch over it and protect it than ye, Red. Ye stood by us all, even when ev'rything seems to be crumbling around the community. Ye've been through a lot of drama throughout the years, and thank ye f'er keeping this place in one piece.
I respect ye f'er all the blood, sweat, n'tears ye've poured into this game, and I hope that ye can go forward with y'er life knowing that we won't f'erget the sacrifices ye've made f'er us and that we will remember y'er hard work.
I know the game won't feel the same without ye patrolling the forums and relaxing in-game n'keeping the peace, but I'm sure that the staff will do an amazing job in y'er stead whilst away. Ye've taught them well.
Best wishes to ye and 'ave a blessed vacation. Here's to calm, peace of mind, and relaxation!
