I'm genuinely shocked to my core to see that you're stepping down. I'm not sure what spurred this, when things seemed like they were taking a turn for the good, but I respect your decision nonetheless. I'm sure you didn't make it lightly. To say I admire you isn't even a start. You're a model Bureaucrat, and I'm honored to have worked with you for so long. You've had a big impact on me, both as a long-standing user and fellow Bureaucrat. You've contributed greatly to our community, and all the effort you put into this place will always be valued. I truly hope you still stick around, because seriously, you have a bunch of amazing characters with unfinished stories. Please remember we all love you, from the bottom of our hearts, and will always be grateful for all that you've done for us. <3
