(inb4 the essay and the feels, and when Joey removes me from admin)

I'd like to thank Joey for allowing me this opportunity, and it's been a privilege to have such a position in the forums.

However, my days as admin now come to an end. As much as I tried to do my best to be an admin, I've failed. In all honesty, all I ever did was change the names of members via their requests and do the same actions as a global moderator would do. There was the so-called "bullying" incident, but trust me, anyone else could have done the same thing I did, so it's no big deal. Many of you guys don't know me (and probably never cared that much), so I always felt like the odd one out. You guys know everyone else on the staff team, but you barely know who I am.

There are so many people who deserve this position and a global moderator position, and that may be the case since one person might be an admin soon, opening up a global moderator position. I decided to not become a staff member, only a regular user. Most members questioned why I got the position and I have to be honest here as well - I was asked if I wanted the position of admin because reghrhre stepped down as admin due to his busy life. As much as I tried to believe I worked hard to get the admin position, I got it based off preference. The time before I was an admin, back when I was a global moderator, I took a hiatus due to college. When I came back, I instantly became an admin. So it was right for some members to question whether or not I deserved the position.

On top of that, life has gotten busy for me once more. But that isn't an excuse for the lack of activity I showed as an admin. Maybe some day I'll work back to the position that I once held, but of course I'll make sure this time I worked fairly for it.

This doesn't mean I'm gone for good. I'll still (try) to be active as a regular member. But in terms of holding power, I don't believe at this point that I still deserve the right to have that much of power here.

Thank you for understanding.

You've always fulfilled my requests and even helped me emphasize my points during the election. For all this and the work you've done, you earned my respect. Your promotion likely wasn't based off preference, but competence, seeing you handled your position well.

Your promotion may have been based off of preference but your competence was the reason you kept your position.

Sad to see you go. Good luck with your stuff outside the forum!

sad but oh well now joey has to choose another one.

Shame. I hope you'll come back, you were a really good part of our team.

Also, just to quell any suspicions, I won't be promoting another administrator.

You were an excellent administrator, m4sterbr0s. It's certainly sad to see you go. Hope you return to the team sometime!

Wow, I can't believe this.
Well, sad to see you go, I'm wish you. :'(

You're a good guy and a good admin, m4sterbr0s. It's honestly sad to see you go but if you think it's for the best, that's cool. I'm just glad you're sticking around as a community member.

I only speak for myself, but my curiosity regarding you getting the position wasn't so much to do with you but more to do with why there needed to be four administrators. I'd run with either two or one adminstrator myself, and the rest would be mods, but y'know, that's just me.
If took your role mostly as a moderator, perhaps you were just better suited to moderating, and having you stay on as one doesn't seem like it would hurt if you maintained the same activity levels.

None of what you said to begin with is true. I feel like I've known you the most, you actually became my only staff friend. You're the only on who actually listened to what people had to say. I'd say stick around, you certainly deserve that spot more than anyone else currently there. But you're already gone. It sucks, really. But I give you my full respect man. Come back again some day.

He's not leaving, just resigning.

I know, I mean back to the staff team.

Oh, damn. Thanks for all the work, dude ;__;

He sure seemed like a nice guy. Well I think he'll come back and just be a normal user .

He's still here.

Well it sure was really nice seeing you while you were an admin.
